Z5II, Z6III or Z7II
I would go Z6iii. Yea the 5ii is a very good value, but the 6iii has a better viewfinder, battery life, the little info window on top which I’ve found mandatory for my cameras, higher shutter speed. Etc. check it out here: https://photographylife.com/comparison/nikon-z5-ii-vs-nikon-z6-iii

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
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

Looking left to Full frame & Looking right to M43 for wildlife
I have both, although the OM1 is mk I. Not for wildlife but anything else. Bought the Z5 II for indoor shoots with bad light. Use the OM1 almost exclusively. It is faster, feels better, ergonomics are better, more buttons. Don’t mention smaller lenses. And I am saying this as an old Nikon user (FM,

Help me decide between Z5II and Z6III please
The real-life difference between Zf and Z6iii is negligible. The Z6iii has a 180* shutter setting so you don’t have to mess with adjusting your SS every time you flick in and out of video mode. CF-B are also super fast. You haven’t really mentioned what the new lenses might do for you that your curr

Nikon Z70
Thats interesting. So you are saying the APS-C market is shrinking ? I think saying that people who buy crop bodies want to pay less is true, but still nikon released a crop Body which is actually almost 1000€ and in the past they released much cheaper crop lineups (d3000s and d5000s) Yeah i get you

Anyone else find the joystick on the Z8 just not very good?
Same on the z5-ii. It's... pretty shit? doesn't respond until it does, and then it immediately moves you across the entire screen. Thanks Nikon. No idea why we can't just use the ring, worked for the d7xxx, never failed me.

Z5 II: Protecting lens release button - is it possible?
As others have noted, this is not a known flaw in the Z5ii or other Nikon bodies that I'm aware of. I just spent the past 15 minutes playing around with my Z6iii (same attachment system) to see if I could replicate the the problem you described. I got nothing. I tried holding the lens (24-120) in va

Back to a DSLR after 15 years and couldn't be happier already.
I’ve owned that one camera since 2015 and still love it. I started buying refurbished lightweight primes from Nikon last year so I could stop carrying the heavy zooms and am very happy carrying less. I bought my son a Z6 III. He let me borrow it for a few days and it just didn’t inspire. I have also

London Street photography. Shot on a Nikon z50 II + NIKKOR 16 - 50mm f2.8
That’s kinda what I already said. If Nikon could sell this lens for under £500, and hadn’t launched the Z5ii at such a cheap price, the Z50ii and this lens would be an astonishing crop sensor combo. As it is, the only advantage is size…

Full frame v. Crop Sensor Image Quality?
While your point stands (newer iPhones deliver RAW files with impressive quality), it’s worth noting that iPhones still produce relatively mangled RAW files. Because Apple has built a lot of their processing directly into the image pipeline, not even the RAW photos are spared from their very aggress
