Z 7II

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

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..

You already know the Z5 is not optimal. I upgraded from Z7ii to Z8 and the difference was enormous. Yours is even further behind. Obviously I haven’t used your combination myself but for small, fast moving birds in flight, the body makes a huge difference. No doubt in my mind, it’s just not capable

I went from z7ii, sitting still subjects and about 80% of my photos max were useable in focus on the eye or what I wanted it to be. Same circumstances on the z8 I’m at 99% in focus on the eye or what I wanted keeper rate. There z8 is just amazing.

I had to shoot an Indy race for assignment one time and i had a d850 and z7ii. My goodness I hated the z7ii so badly, the D850 became my main body for that entire weekend. When I got a Z9 for a follow up race, my goodness that was a night and day difference... And the zero black out EVF allowed to m

To me the D750 was perfect and I wish I hadn’t traded it in to buy the Z7II. Got so many great images and years from it with our kids growing up. I actually used the built in flash too. I almost immediately traded up to the Z8 when Nikon had a promotion because the AF on the Z7II was so frustrating.

I’m going to be brutally honest here. Get the Z5II kit and quit thinking that more megapixels is better. Non-photographers want to see the whole photo. On-screen or on the wall, they are going to view the whole thing. The 300 ppi rule is for viewing at 12 inches. What is the biggest image you can se

AF-C Also, this is the Achilles heel of the Z7II - gorgeous output, sucks at focusing on dogs running towards you (this is literally how I test AF). It's the dual Expeed 6 - they just can't keep up - and it's why I want an Expeed 7 Z7III (NOT A Z8!!! - I WANT THIS SENSOR). It was a night and day dif

Go with the Z5ii or Z6iii. I would only recommend the Z7ii if you need the extra megapixels for some reason. Both the Zii and the Z6ii use the outdated Expeed 6 processor, which puts them at a disadvantage in terms of autofocus subject tracking, burst rates, and video capabilities compared to the Ex

From what Ive heard the Z7II is horrible with autofocus.
