Please Nikon make a Z7 III

There’s too much overlap with the Z8 for this to happen - the Z8 is only 1/3 of a stop worse at ISO 64 than the Z7ii, but has a much larger potential market as it is also much faster (making it good for sports, birds, etc.) and will do video better than a hypothetical Z7iii. The only real likelihood

So Long to the Z7 Platform?

I have a theory about this: The Z7 only existed because Nikon needed something that they could vaguely compare to the D850, but neither the Z7 or the Z7II ever hit the highs that the D850 did. The Z8 showed up and took that position over. Quite successfully too, I might add. There's just no niche th

What am I doing wrong, movement on Z7II.

It's absolutely possible to shoot movement on the Z7ii, just not super easy. I treated it like a decent DSLR rather than a mirrorless. I had most luck using the expanded single point (the one that looks like a single point with 9 dots around it) and doing my best to keep my subject centred. I did pr

So Long to the Z7 Platform?

I’m an avid Z7ii user (was my first mirrorless Nikon after 9 successful years with the D610), and I’d love for them to have a successor but I really can’t really think of where it would fit in the current lineup. The Z8 is a phenomenal camera, but even now I prefer the slightly smaller and lighter Z

Z5II or Z7II

It strongly depends on your autofocus needs. Since you didn't mention stuff like wildlife, sports, racing or other fast paced situations, the Z7II will probably be better due to the higher MP count. If you think about starting some wildlife or sports, get the Z5II. It has the newer processor, so the

This should have been impossible while using z6ii if you listen to YouTubers lol

As someone with two Expeed 6 bodies (Z50, Z7ii) which I used for years before getting my Z9...it's not impossible, but you're going to work much much much harder for those BIF shots than with the newer processor. I should know, because I spent years with the Z50 and Z7ii, and especially for birds th

Purchasing a Z8, what do you wish you knew or had when you got yours?

That even though the AF is incredible, there is a learning curve with mirror less AF. I came up through the Z6 then Z7ii that made the learning curve steeper but there are still some aspects to it that are distinctly different than your DSLR. Don't shoot 20fps unless you really have to, it is a lot

I always tought my Z6ii was enough..until i brought my Zf to the Track!

I shot a wedding with a Z7ii as my second body once. I've had a Z30 as a second/pocket body for other event types, but I wanted a second 45mp sensor, so I borrowed one. My. God. Two thoughts after that experience: What an amazing landscape camera. WEDDINGS ARE NOT LANDSCAPES Expeed7 is like 4 genera

Z7II or Z6II...which is a better upgrade?

Z5ii. megapixels aren't everything, and if you don't need the additional features of the z6iii, the z5ii would be perfect. the added capability of the expeed7 processor makes enough difference over the dual expeed6 of the z6ii and z7ii

Z7ii or Zf to replace Nikon F6?

Both are good. Z7ii has a better sensor and grip, but ZF is probably better af experience and portability. I would keep in mind that the Z7ii is primary CFExpress cards so new equipment to buy while ZF has a small grip so you may need a 3rd party one for comfort.
