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

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

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

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

Help me choose a mirrorless camera, i've been stuck for months?

The Nikon Z5 II is currently the best value full-frame mirrorless camera, with no significant compromises. Definitely consider that. Plenty of good Z mount lenses now.

Nikon removed English language on their new Nikon Bodies that they sell in Japan (OG Z5 has English out of the box)

Yup. I have an A7CII that I unlocked the languages. I actually prefer what Nikon is doing compared to Sony's "Overseas Models" which are like 25% more expensive compared to their Japan model. A7CII + Kit Lens (Overseas Model) = $2,367~ A7CII + Kit Lens (Japan Model) = $1,813~ Edit: Cheapest Z5 II in
