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.

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

Super telephoto for Z

The Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 + the FTZ comes in under your budget if you buy used. I use them to shoot birds on the Z5 II and it works amazing.

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

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

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
