Need advice - upgrade to Z8?

I’d vote to get a d500 and some better glass (500 pf for example maybe paired with the 80-400). But if you have to go new, the z5 ii or z6 iii would be a good option with the 180-600 and 24-200. Look at Nikon refurbished too online (Nikons actual website) or for sales via B&H photo. I do wonder thou

Convince me why Nikon Z50 II is a bad buy and should go for Sony?

Thank you. Only after I made post here am I getting great Nikon recommendation. I am convinced to go for Nikon unless I find great used deal for Sony. With all this said, I have yet to understand why is Sony gear pushed so much here in other subreddit, sony a6400/a7iii/a7ii + sigma is the 'killer co
