He's dead, Jim (D500 replacements?).
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

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

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
People are going to say Z50ii, but it's a side-grade. You're going to get similar image quality and AF performance in a smaller body with better video, but the end result is the same. Sometimes a slightly smaller package is all it takes to encourage you to use your camera more, but you're pretty muc

Looking to upgrade.
Nikon Z50 II and with an FTZ ... Nikkor 18-140 mm f/3.5-5.6, Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-6.3, Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G, Tokina 10-20 mm f/2.8G I mean, you can do that, but I wouldn't. Simply put, the new 16-50, 18-140, 50-250, and all wide angle options put the older F-mount lenses to shame. An FTZ is an expe

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?
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.

how do i increase the sharpness of my wildlife shots?
From the attached images, it is difficult to tell as it seems either reddit or the method of export has heavily downscaled the images, that paired with the compression artifacts makes it nearly impossible to pinpoint any specific issue relating to sharpness vs what the lens and camera are capable of

Birding camera recommendations
Definitely A6700 + 200-600 over Z50 II + 180-600. The A6700 has a higher resolution and IBIS and I think the 200-600 has a reputation for being sharper than the 180-600. The 150-500 recommendation is mostly for budgetary reasons, but it is also much more compact than the big 600mm zooms. Seriously,

Next Steps in my Journey Nikon dslr or mirorrless or Canon?
Don't bother with Nikon mirrorless unless you're going to wait a couple of months for the rumoured Z90. Currently, you get no ibis and only 20mp. For wildlife where cropping is king, that's not much to work with. The Z50 mk.1 also doesn't have the latest AF tech that Z50II has. The R7 is likely your

Is Nikon Z50 II better than Canon R50 bundle for a beginner?
Can you provide some feedback? I tried a Nikon Z50 II and I noticed the rear tilt-flip screen drastically lost contrast when I tried to increase brightness beyond +1. With it being a budget camera in Nikon’s lineup this meant the screen wasn’t all that bright to begin with. Is that your experience t
