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

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

TL;DR: If you’re coming from a Canon T7 and want pro-level autofocus without the $2,500+ price tag of a Z6 III or A7 IV, the Nikon Z5 II is the move. 1.Better "Brains" than Sony (The AF Argument) While Sony has historically led the AF game, the Z5 II inherited the EXPEED 7 processor from the flagshi

For amateur birding, I've got an OM-D E-M1 Mk II with the 75-300 II (and the 60mm macro for smaller critters handheld macros without a tripod are pure bliss). Before, I was a compulsive buyer: Nikon FF, Z-mount, Canon... tested and sold it all. Since switching to Olympus, no urge to change,lightweig

I have the same camera and was thinking about the tamron 50-300 with etz adapter. (700€ + 100€) Alternatively the much bigger Tamron 50-400 (1000€) Keep in mind that the Z50 doesn't have IBIS, so you need a lens with stabilization . Kit Nikon DX 50-250 might also be an option, but in my experience i

The difference IMHO is overblown for all but professionals, your skill, luck, good lighting and good lenses will be more important than sensor size. The potential niggle could be astro, but I haven't found any critical issues with noise on my Z50 (same sensor as Z50ii) that makes me want to rush out

I went from canon to Nikon (with the z6) and found it incredibly bad from the autofocus standpoint and way too little sharp. Sold it and bought the a7iii, I really liked the cheap third party lenses and kept on shooting w it for three years. Then I sold once I felt phography wasn’t about passion any

getting a used Full frame mirrorless from a few years ago is probably the way to go, since they are not only generally good options but ideal for adapting your fd lenses. if you want decent autofocus, you can go with an canon r6 or sony a7riii but they wont leave much budget for more lenses, a7iii a

I shoot with Nikon Z full frame and Fujifilm X. I have an older X100 and the X-T5. I am also not a big fan of Nikon and Canon APS-C cameras because of the lens options. My Z8 and Z6 III are workhorses, but I much prefer taking my Fujis with me, partly because of the weight, but also because they are

Recommend Z6 III if you want realiable autofocus. It has more focus points. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-Z5-II-vs-Nikon-Z6-Mark-III
