Z6

D850 is the king of Nikon DSLR. But why bother? Unless you are intending to have a bunch of F lenses, just get another Z body. If you want small, get a z6 or zf. Or even a zfc if you are considering crop sensor bodies.

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' (

Switching systems back and forth never pays off. I did it once and went from D800’s to almost all-in on Micro 4/3rds and at one point had an E-M1X (kept the D800’s for studio jobs). It’s a competent system, and a perfectly comfortable body, and can handle just about any Commerical work, but yeah the

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

That's exactly what I did with my Z6. The Z 40mm f/2 is the only Z lens that I kept because it's both cheap, good and small. But Z cameras have advantages over D bodies. The First one is obviously stuff like goof live view AF that you don't get on any Nikon DSLR save for the D780. The other is IBIS,

The D7200 is only 90 g (3 oz) heavier than the Z6. If weight is your main concern and want to get into mirrorless, take a look at the Z50ii. It is over 300 g lighter than the D7200 plus it has the most current generation processor (Expeed 7), which the Z5ii also has. It has much better autofocus, fa

I've used all the lenses in question for a long time and I primarily shoot birds. Most people should get the 180-600. It is ridiculously sharp even at 600/6.3, well priced, covers a wide range, has a super short zoom ring throw, has a good MFD, excellent VR, and solves every complaint people had wit

I’ve owned about every Nikon DSLR, and if you want to try out a DSLR, that’s a good choice. Outdoors at near base ISO, every camera looks the same with the same lenses. My Z6 looks the same as my D2H for people running around outside in daylight. Personally, my favorite camera for ergonomics was my

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
