Z5 II

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

Imho if you’re planning to build your gear practically from scratch, it’s already worth looking into something from a mirrorless system. Even the Nikon Z5 or the Nikon Z5 II would be a better choice for this kind of work. The practicality of a lighter body and better autofocus systems will give you

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

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

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.

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

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

Nikon was selling a refurbished Z30 with a kit lens for $399. This camera is tiny but will outperform any DX-size DSLR Nikon ever made. If you want, you can use your old F-mount lens if you buy the ZTZ for $100 (used). Shooting with only an LCD screen will horrify all the grumpy old men on the forum

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
