Is the Z6III right for me?

TL;DR: If you’re coming from a Canon T7 and want pro-level autofocus without the $2,500+ price tag of a Z6 III or A7 IV, the Nikon Z5 II is the move. 1.Better "Brains" than Sony (The AF Argument) While Sony has historically led the AF game, the Z5 II inherited the EXPEED 7 processor from the flagshi

Whats your favorite lens?

Just got the Nikon 105mm 2.8 AF-D delivered today. It's been like 3 hours and I'm in love. Obviously, I don't know what kind of film results I'll get for a week or two, but adapted to my Z5ii, it is a joy to shoot.

Which 45mp body?

The FTZ + Z system breathes some new life into F mount lenses, in my opinion at least. Particularly lenses like the Sigma ART series which have an AF motor but were famously (I should know I run them on a D810) finicky on DSLRs. So, I wouldn't necessarily DQ z mount just because you have to use an a

What Z lenses should I get?

I agree with the other commenter that the 24-120 f4 is the best all-around lens. Of these, I'd avoid the Nikon 24-70 and def not the 24-200 it's not a great lens. The G2 Tamron lenses are beasts, you'd be far better served with the 28-75 2.8 IMO. It would handle street and portraits like a pro. The

Finally bought a Z5 II

Didn’t fit my needs anymore. Originally bought it as a full-frame replacement for my X-T bodies. Nikon’s implementation of the dials wasn’t as good and they nerfed functional buttons, but I figured I could live with it since it was just a walk-around camera for me. I’ve been using a friend’s z5 II p

I love my D3 but I feel like I'm part of a minority

I used to do paid gigs with Nikon DSLR from 750, 810, 850, D3, D4 but recently made the switch to Z5ii because let's face it, the new technology is very convenient and S lenses are much better. However, I still miss my old DSLR and if I had money, I would probably get a 850 and D5 for collecting pur

I no longer miss my Fuji (jpgs)

These are gorgeous! Having also switched to Nikon Z last year after shooting Fuji for 7 years, I have been super impressed with Nikon’s colors both SOOC and editing RAW to the point where not only do I not miss my Fuji, but I don’t think I could even go back. Nikon is just incredible. While I’ve fou

Guys can you please suggest me the best camera under 2L?

I’m going to say Nikon as well. Either Zf or Z5 II. They are both the same cameras essentially in different bodies. Zf if you need some style and the retro look. Pair it with a 24-120 f/4. I have this combo and I paid 2.12L, offline bought!

What camera should I get for street photography?

Small, innocent looking camera (e.g.: mirrorless) with fully articulating (flip-out) LCD screen (nobody will know if you just setting up your camera or actually taking pictures) and a small lens (wide prime or kit lens) and you will be the invisible man on the street. From the dpreview article, Niko

Where to go from Fuji X-T5?

Nikon Zf, OM is a great choice if you felt Fuji's AF was too good, other Nikon, Sony, and Canon bodies can offer more, but the Zf offers a lot and has manual controls. Annoyingly Nikon has no manual aperture rings, but there are some lenses made by 3rd parties that have them, Sony has them, but no b
