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.

The SL3-S is a bit of an oddball. I liked the SL3 when I tested it, it wasn't as fast as Nikon's Expeed 7 systems, but the sensor was truly amazing. I wouldn't buy a SL3-S with a 24mp sensor though. A Zf, Z5II or Z6III would be a better pick here. If you're OK with the 24mp of the SL3-S and focus ma

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

Just ordered mine. To be honest, the value proposition of the Z5 II seems too good to be true as it is, even before considering tariffs. No other brand is providing a FF camera this full-fledged at this price currently in my opinion. Even if there is miraculously a sale somehow this year, I won’t re

If you want to start fairly cheaply, but still with a very capable camera, you can buy Nikon Z5 and Tamron 70-300mm. I will post pictures later, but I was at Imola with this combo and have gotten some pretty awesome shots. You could probably find them used, but even new they are fairly affordable de

I think you can just shoot raw only and not worry about a separate JPG file. Am I correct to assume that your lighting conditions do not change until a new set? Just shoot raw and then just batch process them all with the same settings. The 2000D should be able to do this. The only issue I have with

I’m looking for an 85mm lens for my Z5 II, which will mostly be used for wedding portraits. This will be my first 85mm lens. I have been shooting weddings on a D3300 (an APS-C DSLR) with 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 18-135mm, and DX 35mm f/1.8G lenses for the past 12 years. I recently got the Z5 II with the 2

LOL hi fellow dad. I have kids and my eyes are deteriorating making the rangefinder patch increasingly hard to use. Not to mention the fact that of all my rangefinders the only rangefinder patch smaller than my M6 and M10 is the one in my Olympus XA. I also regularly shoot a Ricoh GR4, Fuji X100V, L

I used a Sony a1 ii, and a 200-600mm lens, and honestly it depends on budget. For 4k you could get a Nikon z5 ii and the right lens for the job, 2.5k you could get a Sony a6700 with a sigma 16-300mm, sub 1k you can do a cannon r50 with the zoom lens kit

If you're just starting out with photography, do yourself a favor and handle the setups before making any rash decisions. Fullframe is large and cumbersome compared to say a OM5+12-40 f2.8 (I'd steer you in that direction if it is mainly for travel). If you want input for a Nikon setup, take a look
