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 Z50 II the right upgrade from a D3400?
I've never handled a Z50 ii. I have a Z6 iii. It was kind of surprising to me that the Z50 ii and the Z5 ii both have most of the features of my more expensive Z6 iii. Nikon didn't cripple it's capabilities, they only left out a few things due to the camera's hardware differences. ~~~ The answer is:

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
Nikon Z5ii with Nikkor 24-120 F/4 Z mount lens. Thats all you need. If saving money, can also look at Z5 since you are into landscape and architecture so don't need wildlife fast autofocus.

Back to wedding photography
Imho if you’re planning to build your gear practically from scratch, it’s already worth looking into something from a mirrorless system. Even the Nikon Z5 or the Nikon Z5 II would be a better choice for this kind of work. The practicality of a lighter body and better autofocus systems will give you

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

Nikon Z6II or canon?
Also if it's in your budget, get the Nikon Z5II, it's newer than the Z6II and performs much better

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
I can break it down spec by spec, but Nikon currently doesn't make a direct replacement for the D7500, it is their current DX (crop sensor) semi-pro body to this day. The Z50II is their current top-end Z mirrorless DX body, and it's a step down in continuous AF tracking as well as top frame rate wit

Super telephoto for Z
The Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 + the FTZ comes in under your budget if you buy used. I use them to shoot birds on the Z5 II and it works amazing.
