Z50 II

A D7500 won’t feel outdated. It’ll feel familiar and get you decent results. Also, are you talking about the Z50 or the Z50II? The former is not as good as the II, both will have worse battery life than the D7500 (and your D3200). With the Z you get a lighter camera and better autofocus but with wha

Nikon Z50 II is lightweight & compact and so are the kit lenses. Unfortunately, there are very few professional and semi-professional grade lenses. What's more, the body relies on the built-in touch display for a number of interactions, which can quickly become an issue. Especially if it's below 0 C

The nikon z50ii body itself is not that bigger, but is heavier by almost 150 grams. It’s a major difference if you want to carry your camera everywhere with you, especially as m43 lenses are smaller and lighter compared to other systems

It’s funny because I held the z50 II in my hands today and it felt tiny and uncomfortable (maybe because I’m coming from a Canon DSLR). I’m actually tempted to go for a D500 instead of a Z50. What lens are you pairing it with?

How do you like it? I have been tempted by Z30 so many times ...that with 16-50 2.8 would be awesome. Nikon has (and always had) terrific DX bodies but crippled by DX lens options. During D500 days Nikon had just one fast native DX lens the 16-80 and forced users to get onto FX. During the DSLR days

I live in raw so I can’t speak to picture profiles. The only one I use is sometimes I’ll shoot in monochrome, which is delightful. I do have the 1.4 VL lenses the 23 and the 33. And while they are both very nice, they are too heavy for the small body in my humble opinion. The auto focus as you proba

R10 vs. R50 isn't a huge difference. On the inside, they're actually almost identical. The R10 is nice to have, but if the R50 is within your financial reach and the R10 isn't, go with the R50. Price shouldn't be a huge difference either. In case the price difference is significant (IMHO the R10 is

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,

The Z30 is basically jacket-pocketable... but only with the 16-50, or a similarly pancake-y prime. So consider that if you're going to use, like, 98% of the other lenses out there, that advantage kinda goes out the window. A Z50/II isn't going to be nearly as pocketable, I suppose you could probably

Your background AF issue is definitely 'user error', and I don't mean that in an offensive way, only that there are ways you can set up the Nikon Z AF system to prevent that. Chances are you're just used to your D500 form using it for what I assume is several years, so everything just works the way
