if you're using a full frame camera, unless you're using one of the higher resolution bodies (z7, z7ii, z8, z9), then i feel it wouldn't make sense to use the dx lens, mainly cos it turns your camera into a 10-12 MP camera (not that it's unusable, but it's quite the crop). Also, I wouldn't necessari

I do a decent amount of event coverage in lowlight settings. The Z6III is a great performer and I’ve been able to get very detailed shots shooting at even 12,800 ISO. Autofocus wise, it performs great. I would say it’s 98% of Sony’s, but with more customization available in the controls/menus. Z5II

The Z5ii sounds like the obvious choice. It's much less expensive than the Z7II, it's only a litlte more expensive than the Z6II but better in pretty much every way. It has better image quality (marginally, but still) compared to the much more expensive Z6III, and if you think you can make do with 1

CFexpress cards arent too bad anymore. I was looking for SD cards the other day and CFexpress were sometimes the same price to even cheaper than fast SD cards of the same capacity. Also the low light on the z5 is incredible. I find it usable up to 25600 ISO without any real issues with just a touch
