Z50 II

Make the same camera but put the z50 ii sensor and processor in it and it would be incredible

No Z8 II soon, it will be at least a year after a Z9II, and the only pro Z cameras (settings banks like you're used to) are the Z8 and Z9. The highest-end DX Z body is the Z50II, which is a D5x00 replacement camera and not nearly up to the pro standards. Why not just send it to Nikon and use their f

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-

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

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

Was very happy with my z50 ii. Liked it more than my old d500 due to smaller size and af tracking—image quality was slightly better but possibly due to the more accurate focus. Either something is wrong with your z50 ii or there’s a bit of user error with the new mirrorless system. I had a d90, d700

You seem to be doing well and your friends seem to be chasing gear More reach is always good but that’s a balance of desired focal length, cost and weight. The 200-500mm is a great lens and think about a monopod when using it. Primes get expensive and large very quickly though their optical performa

No, in normal shooting cases in good lighting with people who know how to use the cameras, you won't be able to know which shots are from either sensor without looking for clues, like resolution, EXIF data etc. Some here will violently disagree with that statement and some "professionals" will tell

Since YOU enjoy shooting with your D610 more, then to you the Z50 II is a downgrade regardless of what anyone else says. Life is too short...shoot with what you want to shoot.
