Z50 II

I recent bought the Z50II and had similar concerns. I don't shoot video so in body stabilization wasn't my biggest concern. What it came down to for me, since the specs are similar, was the feeling in my hand when holding it. Z50II feels very good in the hand, especially if your hands are smaller. I

I at one point had a Z50II and a D500. I kept the Z50II. There are certainly ways in which the D500 is better.
