Z7

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

I'm a professional and owned both. The image quality is near identical... They produce incredibly similar files. The D850 is a much more agile, and responsive camera though. It has way better AF and a faster drive. That comes with a huge weight penalty though. The Z7 is probably in the discussion fo

That's the thing with the Z8, it's a chonker. Smaller than a Z9, but still. Nikon really should do a Z7iii. Add the newer autofocus electronics into the Z7 body - It would NOT compete with the shutterless Z8/9. I would buy that camera.

It depends what you’re used to. My previous cameras have been mainly Nikon - D70, D2x, D3, D3x, D800, then Z7 and Z8. Next to these the Fujifilm X100 series are slow and flimsy with very iffy focussing (although the vi is a big improvement over the T) And obviously the first thing I did was go throu
