Z5 II

I’ve been shooting for 15 plus years with Canon system cameras from a rebel XS to my current weapon of choice, an R8. And I’m an old grumpy man so please forgive me. Content creation? I think it’s an empty meaningless phrase. I just take pictures. Family, portraits, events, travel. Worth it in 2026?

B&H has this lens listed for $546.95 and also as a new kit lens for the Z5 II. This lens offers a more versatile range over the 24-50 kit lens but cheaper than the 24-120 f/4. The f/7.1 minimum aperture at the long end is mind boggling. It seems like Nikon has lost something design wise from the old

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

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,

Given the increased presence of full-frame in the midrange, it’s given me second thoughts on whether investing in APS-C is still worth it. My R7 plus this Sigma 17-40 F/1.8 is close to the price of a Nikon Z5 II plus a Tamron 28-75 F/2.8. That’s a precarious situation to be in if you’re a APS-C enth

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.

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

I’ve also been considering the Nikon Z5 II, but the lenses are quite expensive at the moment. I’ll definitely keep your recommendation in mind. Thank you Sir

I have the same camera and was thinking about the tamron 50-300 with etz adapter. (700€ + 100€) Alternatively the much bigger Tamron 50-400 (1000€) Keep in mind that the Z50 doesn't have IBIS, so you need a lens with stabilization . Kit Nikon DX 50-250 might also be an option, but in my experience i

Thanks everyone for their feedback. Everything I've read up until now has given me the impression that I would get better performance with full frame, which is why I purchased the Z5 ii. However, given these comments, I will be reaching out to Nikon to set up a return. Haven't even gotten it yet, bu
