Z50 II

I wouldn't recommend the R50 as the growth potential is lower. The Z50II has the better processor, imaging recipes for fun, and nikon imaging cloud support (auto uploads to lightroom/google drive/dropbox). I think Canon's software is legacy and behind. The Z50II also has bird AF so if this person ge

I can't speak for the Canon; I shoot full frame Z bodies, 80-90% corporate/industrial video and some corporate stills/product shoots. The little Z50ii is my little gimbal monster though - it punches way above its weight/price. Nikon simply didn't cripple the thing in any meaningful way. It lacks in-

The Nikon, the kit lenses are better and Nikon didn't bring the cripple hammer to the Z50II so it gets the full range of automatic AF capabilities from the Z9. But it's not by a lot (OK, the lens is a lot better, the body less so), they're both very good.

I try using the viewfinder to take more shots (because of the movement), but it’s kind of hard, so I end up using the screen. The problem is that it adds a lot of delay/lag after each photo. Live view on the Nikon D5200 is using a contrast detect autofocus system that is terrible compared to the pha

Between these two, Z50ii hands down. It’s a newer body, and its AF system with animal/bird detection will blow the a6600 out of the water. As well as video capabilities, should you ever need them. The wildlife lens lineup is superb both on Nikon and Sony, with Nikon having more first party prime opt

Z50ii, look for the 2-lens kit on Nikon’s refurb sale. It’s hands down Nikon’s best entry-level wildlife camera.

You should probably rent a Z6III or Z8 and Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 or 70-200 f2.8 and use it as either a spare camera on a shoot or run through an event you’re at but not necessarily getting paid for. So let’s start with this- full frame when shooting wide open at any field of view is going to require a l

I went from a d3200 to a z50ii, it was the best choice I ever made hobby-wise. Even with the kit lenses I was having a blast and getting far more hits than I ever did with my d3200, the processor and AF are lightyears ahead in comparison. Grab a refurb from Nikon when it's available, and save up for

Recommend Z50 II if want use human, animal eye AF and subject tracking. If don't need those features better get D750. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-Z50-II-vs-Nikon-D750 https://youtu.be/RPJHDSOFD5c https://youtu.be/wkLjvr0XMic https://youtu.be/CxdMgVO9d7s

Maybe stick to DX since you'll miss the extra reach if you don't. The Z50 II has some great AF and you could use the 150-600 with the FTZ. If not, look at the 180-600mm Z lens that's great.
