Z7

I have a theory about this: The Z7 only existed because Nikon needed something that they could vaguely compare to the D850, but neither the Z7 or the Z7II ever hit the highs that the D850 did. The Z8 showed up and took that position over. Quite successfully too, I might add. There's just no niche th

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' (

Well, I get you and in theory I would love a Z7iii... but that's effectively a Z8 without the AA filter with Nikon's current hardware capabilities. I think a Z7iii with something like an Expeed7 processor and fancy AF modes will happen when Expeed8 inside a Z8ii is a thing, otherwise they'd cannibal

The Z8 is one of the heaviest mirrorless, and even DSLR, non-pro form factor bodies. It's heavier than a D810, a big DSLR, and practically as much as a GFX 100 II, a medium format body. The Z8 is a huge body. But you're right that there isn't anything that can compete with it in Nikon's lineup. Conc

note that Mirrorless cameras lack one important feature for flash shooters. There is no infrared based autofocus between flash and camera since autofocus is performed on sensor. Infrared is separate sensor located on the mirror in DSLR's. I suggest you buy a used Nikon Z6. They go for cheap, otherwi

Instead of buying a new camera, why not look at some wider-angle lenses for your Z50 II? I've seen some good reviews of the Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8. Tamron has also just announced the 17-70mm f/2.8 for Z mount. Viltrox, TTArtisan, and 7Artisans also make several wide-angle APS-C lenses for the Z mo

I've used M43, APS-C and FF. Currently I own FF(Z8 and Z7 II) and M43 (OM1, EM1 III)kits. FF is nice to have, but there's a reason I still have my M43 kits. On paper, the FF blows the M43 and crop sensors out of the water. In the real world my clients don't notice the difference. I don't even notice

If I were traveling I sure as heck wouldn't bring two camera systems. I've traveled extensively with Nikon (D90, D700, D800, Z7, Zf) and at the end of the day, my olympus kit lets me take ALL my lenses for the weight and space budget that a Z7 + 50mm + 24-120mm took up. The last time I traveled with

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
