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

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

Thanks! I carried a Nikon Z7II with the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens for the Z Mount. Honestly, I think a longer lens (maybe the 24-120 f/4) would have been a lot more versatile on trail, but definitely not as good for astro/nightscapes. If I did it again and could stomach the extra weight, I might do t

Don’t worry about ISO. Just make sure sure you use the “Camera matching profiles”, I.e “Camera Standard”. People don’t zoom in to look at photo details, only photographers do. VR is very good on the cameras. Unless your subject is moving, you should be able to offset the f/4 with shutter speed. A li

Not sure if you are still deciding. I have the OM-5 and 12-45 f/4 that I use for hiking. IMO it is the perfect compromise between weight and image quality. The lens has a close minimum focusing distance so you can get “macro” shots as well. My Nikon z7ii 24-120f/4 is my most used setup for landscape

I went from my D750 to a z7ii because I wanted the extra megapixels. I don't regret it. What surprised me was how much I love walking around with the 35mm or the 50mm 1.8 S prime. The difference in weight from walking around with the D750 with battery grip and 24-70mm F2.8 is game changing. Only dow

For me the Z7ii excels in every aspect except focus. That's the only reason I'd go for a Z7iii over my Z7ii. Better focusing and the pre-release shutter would be nice to have. Aside from that, the Z7ii is the perfect size and weight of mirrorless camera for me. Do I need 45MP? No, but when you put i

Many of the pancake style or generally I've found smaller lenses don't correct coma well and your corners and edges will have mishaped stars.

Repeated often and personally found to be true, the Z7II is still an incredible landscape camera. The big sensor allows for crops, or when the Upright Tool crops your photos, your composition may remain intact. Another thing I like about it is that it is compact and light. With an older generation o

As a hobbyist, I could no longer justify the size of my Nikon FF set-up. It became a barrier to me going out and shooting, considering my favorite lens was the fabulous 70-200. Removing friction and getting smaller, lighter lenses was my main reason for switching, and at this point I'm completely ha
