Z 7II

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

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,

Well, I get you and in theory I would love a Z7iii... but that's effectively a Z8 without the AA filter with Nikon's current hardware capabilities. I think a Z7iii with something like an Expeed7 processor and fancy AF modes will happen when Expeed8 inside a Z8ii is a thing, otherwise they'd cannibal

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

If you have already made up your mind to continue with film, I’d have them give me the Z7II. It’s worth more, and when you resell it, the extra money will help you get to the F6 faster. I would like to make a suggestion; why don’t you bang a couple of frames off and give the new camera a chance? You

I think the biggest problem is the pricing. Technically - many people may/would like Z8/Z9 capabilities with DX sensor, but the price for such camera would be probably somewhere around current Z6III or Z7II. Which would not make much sense for most of people to pay for - financially nor technically.

As someone who makes their living primarily doing in studio or on set shoots the Z7ii is the perfect camera. Any shooting that happens with controlled lighting (headshots, architectural, product, food, fashion, etc) doesn't use AF, exposure modes, video, or any of the features that are being added t

Z5II and Zf are similar enough that their choice is between better ergonomics and cooler looks. Z7II is if you want 45MP and don't care at all about autofocus. I'd say Z7II + 24-120 F4 makes more sense here, as I don't see any AF or aperture hungry subjects in your list

Z7 sold in way lesser numbers than Z6 People who own a Z7 for shooting landscape or relatively static stuff ain't upgrading to Z8 because there is not much benefit for them The very fact that Z7ii is still holding on a relatively high asking price in the used market means Z7iii isn't coming. Not any

I would love any feedback! I'm trying to build a portfolio and move into commercial work. I use lightroom primarily. I have a lot of film emulation presets I use a shortcut to getting to a color space I'm happy with. From there I get my general exposure to a place I like then mask out specific eleme
