Z 7II

There’s too much overlap with the Z8 for this to happen - the Z8 is only 1/3 of a stop worse at ISO 64 than the Z7ii, but has a much larger potential market as it is also much faster (making it good for sports, birds, etc.) and will do video better than a hypothetical Z7iii. The only real likelihood

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

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 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

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

Z5ii. megapixels aren't everything, and if you don't need the additional features of the z6iii, the z5ii would be perfect. the added capability of the expeed7 processor makes enough difference over the dual expeed6 of the z6ii and z7ii

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..

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.

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.

The z7ii is not a replacement to the D850 as the D850’s tracking ability for moving subjects is better. The z6iii tracking ability is on par or better that the D850 but you take a loss in resolution. You can use your current lenses with the mirrorless body without penalty. If you are wanting to get
