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

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

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

Made the leap to Z today
16-year gap between my F and Z body. I've been holding off on moving to Z because too much of the value in my eyes is in video. I could get a Z6III for the E7 processor, but the majority of the money spent will be on video specs I'll never touch. While the Z bodies made with photo shooting in mind,

Is the Z7ii worth it for travel?
Yes absolutely. I upgraded from a d750 to a z7ii about two years ago and it’s been awesome. It is so much lighter and more compact. It’s a great travel/street setup with the 40 f2, 50 f1.8, or 24-70 f4 on it. We’re all well aware the z6iii or z8 focus faster, but out in the real world walking around

Finally making the switch! DSLR ---> Mirrorless
Z5ii unless you’re planning to do lots of video, in which case Z6iii. Z5ii and Z6iii have the newer EXPEED 7 processor and have much better autofocus as a result than Z6ii or Z7ii. Z5ii has more dynamic range than Z6iii under ISO 800 (they’re about the same above ISO 800). Z6iii is much more capable

Switching to Nikon, pitfalls
Z8 has slightly worse dynamic range than a D850. This will be noticable in how much you can pull from shadows in post processing. You can compensate for it by avoiding ISO 100-500, by exposure bracketing or by overexposing images. In most circumstances, you won’t notice it at all. Z7ii does better i
