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

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

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

Please Nikon make a Z7 III
The Z7 or Z7ii are still a leading class landscape camera. If landscapes are your thing, pick up a used Z7 on Marketplace for cheap. The only disadvantage to the original Z7 has to do with its slower AF and tracking algorithms. You don't need lightning quick AF for landscapes. That being said, how o

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

Getting a new camera after being robbed. Need your advice.
The Z6II and Z7II have an Expeed 6 processor. The ZF, Z5II and Z6III have an Expeed 7. Expeed 7’s have a much-improved autofocus performance, specially for 3D tracking. They can also shoot raw video internally. Z7II is only worth it if you need the higher resolution (for landscape, for example) and

Nikon Autofocus quality? Z5II,6III or 7II
Anything but the z7ii. I find it’s great on a tripod but recently shot a wedding and found it losing/missing focus a lot..

Is the Z5ii really that good, or is it just all hype?
I bought one a few months ago. Very impressed with it. The low-light capability blows away my D850. I took shots of hummingbirds at 10k-40k ISO and with the denoising in Lightroom, they look like butter-no grain, clean. The AF is much better than the Z7ii I used to have (sold it and bought the D850)

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
