Z6

The problem is other brands early mirrorless didn't suck This is just not true. First two FF Sony Alpha gens (A7 and A7 II) were issue-ridden, with lackluster color science, abysmal battery life, and mediocre AF. The first really good Sony mirrorless body was the A7 III. Canon RP was a piece of junk

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

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

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 never had any issues with the Z6 for more static photography, e.g. street, landscape, travel, portraiture. I left mine in AF-C on wide-area small, and it was great. I don't think I could tell the difference in output between a Z6 and the 24MP EXPEED7 cameras for these genres with the same lens The

So I come from a unique perspective, where I did the same thing 5 years ago, except I went from an E-m1II + E-M1X to a Z9 and Z6. Had all the 1.2 Pro lenses too, like it was balls-deep-peak-Olympus. What I learned, was no matter what you get in Nikon-land, it’s going to be better than an E-M1II, whi

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

Well, you have a 20 year old 6 megapixel camera. There are a LOT of better cameras out there. If you want to stay with the f-mount lenses, I would recommend a D7XXX series. Heck, even D3000 would be a huge step up for you. If you want to move into the mirror-less world (and want to stick with Nikon)

I sold my X-T5 and Fuji lenses and moved to Nikon like many others in this thread. But it wasn't straight-forward. I tried the Zf and wanted to love it, but hated the ergos. It is an entirely different feel from the X-T5 - significantly larger, heavier, and less grippy, even with an add-on grip. The
