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

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.

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

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.

Nikon Z5 II lens choice
Love my z5ii and honestly it's worth the extra for the 24-120. That little extra reach makesore difference than you think it would. You may be able to bring the cost down by shopping for a used lens also. I rarely buy brand new gear, I am fortunate enough to live in metro Atlanta where we have KEH o

The Nikon Z-mount must-haves
How are you not even considering the new 70-200 2.8 ii? It's a perfect fit with the Z5ii (the 1.4TC performs incredibly with it as well). Sure, it'll put you in the poor house for a while, but it's literally the best Nikon lens I have ever shot at that, or any other focal length. It doesn't have the

Change from D to Z!
The Z5ii is a good entry point to the Z system. It has the latest processor (Expeed 7) which means it has a robust autofocus system, good video specs etc., and it is relatively budget friendly. A step up in both features and $$$ is the Z6iii. It is also an Expeed 7 body with even more advanced autof

Z50II vs Z5II
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
