Z5 II

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

It's really that good. I don't own it, but I do own a Z6 III and a Zf and I've been following the Z5 II. Nikon took the tech in the Zf and stuck it in a modern body with a few tweaks here and there (like dual SD card slots rather than SD + mSD). But same sensor, same processor, same autofocus, same

To clarify- the Z FX models all have the same sensor size. Z7/8/9 have 45 megapixel sensors and Z5/6 have 24 megapixels. The lower resolution models, except the original Z5 because it has an older sensor design, actually test better than the higher MP models in terms of noise performance. However, a

Will XT5 to Z5ii be a downgrade especially on the megapixels and image quality? Should i go with Z6iii ? No it won't. Photos won't be as large, that's the only change, megapixels. Megapixels don't directly speak to quality. If you crop tons on your current camera you might miss it. Difference betwee

Nikon Z50 II is lightweight & compact and so are the kit lenses. Unfortunately, there are very few professional and semi-professional grade lenses. What's more, the body relies on the built-in touch display for a number of interactions, which can quickly become an issue. Especially if it's below 0 C

I moved from an old D70 to a new z5 and it's lovely. Autofocus is not as good as it could be but that's in comparison to the higher end of Nikon's range which are quite good. The z5ii is a great camera that does better autofocus. Mine is a great camera, like carrying a miniature medium format camera

Nice. I have a Z5 II and it's great, it's more camera than I will ever truly need, fantastic value, and I do like the slightly nicer full-frame look, although I am sure I would be very happy with a Z50 II, and I must admit sometimes the size and especially weight of the full-frame system can be a lo

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

To my taste the X-Trans 5 sensor output skews more blue/green It doesn't. What you're describing is effect of image processing, not effect of sensor. If you process raw's to be blue/green, it's entirely your own fault, not the tools. has poor high ISO (>1000) performance It really doesn't. It has ve

I would consider the Nikon 600mm pf and Z5 ii (crop) body. If you are photographing birds, this will give you a very sharp lens with 900mm equivalent. In the future, you could upgrade to a Z8 body. You can also consider the Z6iii, but you will have less ability to crop images that start at 24MP full
