This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

All speculation. I doubt we will get a z7iii. Nikon expected the z7 and z6 to sell equally well, but the z6 line consistently performed better than the 7 through the first two generations. Given the price difference that will have been disappointing. With the z8/9, they took the more 'traditional' (

It’s a video camera. Sony was basically alone with the FX series and Nikon and Canon juste released their own. The ZR doesn’t have strong features for photography (might explain the price compared to a Z6), but I’m mostly surprised because it’s a lot cheaper than the FX3.

Yes, Nikon fortunately does not shy away from chonkyness when it comes to the Z8 and Z9. I have the Z6 and while it is a small camera ( much smaller than my 5dmkII) it is comfortable to hold thanks to the grip, plus I don't have the biggest hands

Oddly enough, I think it's the other way around. Image quality, when it comes to still images, hasn't improved much in the last 15 years. You're unlikely to notice the difference between a shot taken with, say, a Nikon D800 and a Nikon Z6 Mark III. And if you shrink the image size, even a photo from

I would go Z6iii. Yea the 5ii is a very good value, but the 6iii has a better viewfinder, battery life, the little info window on top which I’ve found mandatory for my cameras, higher shutter speed. Etc. check it out here: https://photographylife.com/comparison/nikon-z5-ii-vs-nikon-z6-iii

FCPC is Flexible Color Picture Control compatible with Nikon Zf, Z6 III, Z50 II and Z5 II for now. You add ER-VINTAGE-C.NP3 to root of your SD card and then with Manage Picture Control in camera copy it to one slot, select it with Select Picture Control and set WB to Natural Light Auto and results w

I had to shoot an Indy race for assignment one time and i had a d850 and z7ii. My goodness I hated the z7ii so badly, the D850 became my main body for that entire weekend. When I got a Z9 for a follow up race, my goodness that was a night and day difference... And the zero black out EVF allowed to m

I have both of these cameras. Here are my observations (assuming you shoot RAW): For birds, planes, and generally small far-away things, even with the 180-600, I love having the extra resolution the Z8 gives. The Z6 III does not (yet) have a dedicated bird detect mode, but that is coming this year:

Danke dir! Die Kamera ist eine Z6, Objektiv ein Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG HSM C (FTZ Adapter). Settings waren 500mm bei f6, ISO 6400 und 1/3 Verschlusszeit, wobei die Bilder teils nochmal stark gecroppt sind. Die Z6 hat einen Top Sensor (gleicher wie in der Sony A7 III). Da mein Hobby vor allem die
