Z6III FX-format Mirrorless Camera Body

You're moving the goalposts. You suggested buying a Z6iii, in place of a top-of-the-line DX body. I pointed out that that might not be an optimal choice, if you were looking for reach. Now you're claiming that D500 sales dropped, after the D850 came out. I have not seen data like that. Can you point

The z8 and z9 are the mirrorless flagships. They will be the best Nikon has to offer (at present). It sounds more like user error on the z6iii. You should not be getting worse results with it. Any chance you bought it secondhand?

Why is Nikon like this? They can well match the pack and provide the quality that blows them away. Then they choose to do things like only jpg in pre-capture and a 20mp Z6iii instead of 36mp.

The Z5ii is just about everything good about the Zf but with a body that makes sense for a general use photographer. That was always the thing about the Zf, with a BSI sensor and EXPEED7, it was far more capable than it needed to be to sell. So people whined about the ergonomis but it realistically

For product photography, the Z6iii has pixel-shift shooting which can be used for increased resolution in set-piece photography on a tripod. That's it's only real IQ advantage. A 24MP FX sensor from Nikon will deliver similar detail resolution and base ISO IQ regardless of whether it's the original

I have a Nikon Z8 and a Z6iii. Over the past year I have put about 100k impressions on the Z8 and about 10k on the Z6iii. I mostly shoot birds and other wildlife and almost always head out with a two lens set up and a camera body on each lens. My current kit consists of 70–200, 400 F45, 600 PF and 8

Yes the difference from the Z6III to the Z8 is enormous, assuming you would be taking advantage of those differences. The Z8 is a unicorn both in Nikon's current lineup and the current market environment, as it is unbelievably cheap relative to the competition (relatively speaking of course). Having

Is the Z6 III that far beyond Z6 II in autofocus? I've only used the Nikon Z5 and its continuous autofocus is dog shit. Thankfully I only use it for stills, but it's focus is reaaaaal clunky when you need to switch to mild action or people. Anyway, my point being, I always heard the Z6 II was quite

I'm an amateur dad in a similar situation (except with softball). Also a Nikon user, but I've moved to the Z6iii. I'll do my best to answer your questions, but take it with a grain of salt: I don't know about your camera in particular, but in a lot of situations I lock focus with subject detection (

A7v, it's just better in all the right ways. Nikon has to hit back now, but it's gonna be at least another 18 months probably. Real talk, the A7v improves all the things photographers want. Just to elaborate, the A7V has: - An open mount - Smaller lenses, and more varied lenses, just as good if not
