Z50II vs Z5II

I moved from Z50 II to Z5 II. I value IBIS more. My other cameras have IBIS and I couldn't go back to a body without IBIS. As for the size, with 40mm, 28mm and 75mm primes the Z5 II isn't that big of a camera. AF performance is a wash between two. Lens selection for Z DX is pretty small and no prime

Thinking of Switching FROM Fuji to Nikon

I’m not familiar with Fuji, but I’ve been a lifetime Nikon user and just got the Z5 ii. It’s great so far, I’m super happy with how my photos have come out. I’ve been focusing on landscapes a lot recently. I got the Nikkor Z 24-120 F4 and a Viltrox 14mm F/4. Both are great for travel and it’s just a

Need some expert advice on two combos? Z50II+16-50 /f2.8 DX vs Z5II+24-120/f4

I have the Z50ii with the 16-50 kit lens (not the f/2.8 lens that you are thinking about). I also have the Z6iii with the 24-120. Here is my take: For a lightweight and portable kit you can't beat the Z50ii + 16-50 f/2.8 combo (825g vs 1,250g of the Z5ii + 24-120. As for low light performance, there

Is the Z50 II the right upgrade from a D3400?

I've never handled a Z50 ii. I have a Z6 iii. It was kind of surprising to me that the Z50 ii and the Z5 ii both have most of the features of my more expensive Z6 iii. Nikon didn't cripple it's capabilities, they only left out a few things due to the camera's hardware differences. ~~~ The answer is:

Z5II, Z6III or Z7II

I would go Z6iii. Yea the 5ii is a very good value, but the 6iii has a better viewfinder, battery life, the little info window on top which I’ve found mandatory for my cameras, higher shutter speed. Etc. check it out here: https://photographylife.com/comparison/nikon-z5-ii-vs-nikon-z6-iii

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?

Nikon Z5ii with Nikkor 24-120 F/4 Z mount lens. Thats all you need. If saving money, can also look at Z5 since you are into landscape and architecture so don't need wildlife fast autofocus.

Back to wedding photography

Imho if you’re planning to build your gear practically from scratch, it’s already worth looking into something from a mirrorless system. Even the Nikon Z5 or the Nikon Z5 II would be a better choice for this kind of work. The practicality of a lighter body and better autofocus systems will give you

Nikon Z6II or canon?

Also if it's in your budget, get the Nikon Z5II, it's newer than the Z6II and performs much better

Full frame v. Crop Sensor Image Quality?

I just jumped from Fuji XF (X-T5) to Nikon FX (Z5 ii). I loved Fuji, shot it for nearly 5 years, and owned almost all of their lenses at one point or another. So why did I move to Nikon? Because I found that 95% of my shooting with my Fuji (as opposed to my Ricoh pocket cams) was either in service o

From Leica to Nikon

The SL3-S is a bit of an oddball. I liked the SL3 when I tested it, it wasn't as fast as Nikon's Expeed 7 systems, but the sensor was truly amazing. I wouldn't buy a SL3-S with a 24mp sensor though. A Zf, Z5II or Z6III would be a better pick here. If you're OK with the 24mp of the SL3-S and focus ma
