I've owned both. I sold the X-T5 due to autofocus issues and picked up the ZF. I have no real issue stating the ZF is superior in every way except size/weight, regardless of the X-T5 getting it's autofocus fixed. That being said, the size and weight difference in use is pretty significant. It's visi

Another Dad here with young kids: I have an OM5i and the Panasonic 12-35 2.8 is on the camera 80% of the time. I use the 25mm 1.7 for indoor birthdays etc but I’d much rather something wider and brighter like Panasonic 15mm 1.7 or Oly 20mm 1.4. I think a nice bright lens beats the autofocus improvem

Own the om3 have used the zf and use other Nikon full frame regularly. I own much more capable bodies from all brands and the om3 gets used a lot. I would pretty strongly recommend the om3. Specific to the picture profiles. The om3 creative dial is favourite feature and I use it consistently. Once y

I have the XT5 and tried my brother's Zf for a bit. Image quality and pixel peeping, I actually found the XT5 sharper which was very important to me since I'm a pixel peeper. Maybe because I wasn't using it right or because I wasn't using one of the S lenses. I remember before my brother using his N

If you want something truly small and light, the Z50ii will give you a lot of the performance of the Z9 in a tiny package. Combine it with some of Nikon’s DX lenses for a very nimble package. If you want truly small and light but retro aesthetics and control - and if you don’t mind taking a step bac

I was in the exact same position as you are right now. If it's for work, get the Z6iii because you need to maximize the performance that you can get with the money that you have. If it's for hobby or daily activities, choose the camera that makes you wanna shoot. I ended up with the Zf. I chose it o

I jumped from Fuji to Nikon about a year ago after shooting Fuji since the X-T2 was new. Some of it was due to dissatisfaction with the direction Fujifilm were taking, I didn’t enjoy the X-T5 as much as the XT-2 I’d upgraded from (I’d ran the T-2 into the ground) and realised I could get a full fram

Hey! I’ve used the OG Z50 as well as the Z5, Zf, and Z8. I will say this: the Z50 with the DX 24mm f/1.7 prime felt like it weighed nothing. Meanwhile, the Zf with the 26mm f/2.8 - the lightest lens I have for it - is definitely noticeable. I would carry the Z50 with 16-50 or 24 in hand with a wrist

I’m on the side that the Nikon Zf’s exposure control method is better than Fujifilm’s X-T series cameras. Fujifilm is geared towards a user that wants to have to turn dials every time, all the time. On the Zf, I like being able to sit in Aperture Priority until I need a specific shutter speed; in wh

Recommend zf for full frame but it bit heavier. Could pair it with small lens. https://cameradecision.com/compare/OM-System-OM-3-vs-Nikon-Zf https://cameradecision.com/compare/Fujifilm-X-T30-III-vs-Nikon-Zf https://alikgriffin.com/nikon-z-mount-lenses https://lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/en/nikon-z-mount-
