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

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:

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.

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

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

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
I can break it down spec by spec, but Nikon currently doesn't make a direct replacement for the D7500, it is their current DX (crop sensor) semi-pro body to this day. The Z50II is their current top-end Z mirrorless DX body, and it's a step down in continuous AF tracking as well as top frame rate wit

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
People are going to say Z50ii, but it's a side-grade. You're going to get similar image quality and AF performance in a smaller body with better video, but the end result is the same. Sometimes a slightly smaller package is all it takes to encourage you to use your camera more, but you're pretty muc

Z-series 24-200mm or 24-120mm
24-120 is one of the best lenses Nikon makes. It has been my go to travel lens literally all over the world on a Z6 and now a Z5II. The 24-200 just doesn't compete with corner to corner sharpness of that lens. Unless you really really need the extra 80mm, 24-120 is an absolute no-brainer.

Debating whether to stay with MFT
Every format is a combination of trade offs. For example, you won’t find a bright standard zoom the size of Panasonic 12-35mm in any system. On the other hand, if you’re OK with f/2.8 on Micro 4/3, then an f/4 zoom on a full frame camera should be more than perfectly acceptable. A Nikon Z5 (or Z5 II

Help me decide between Z5II and Z6III please
I agonized over the same decision shortly after the Z5ii was released. In the end, I went with the Z6iii. Several things swayed me in that direction. First, the Z6iii has a superior viewfinder, which I’ve found to be a real pleasure to use. I also like the top LCD screen, since all of my previous ca
