So Long to the Z7 Platform?

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

Nikon 2026

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' (

I always tought my Z6ii was enough..until i brought my Zf to the Track!

I had to shoot an Indy race for assignment one time and i had a d850 and z7ii. My goodness I hated the z7ii so badly, the D850 became my main body for that entire weekend. When I got a Z9 for a follow up race, my goodness that was a night and day difference... And the zero black out EVF allowed to m

Anyone have any idea how many Z7s were sold?

Z7 sold in way lesser numbers than Z6 People who own a Z7 for shooting landscape or relatively static stuff ain't upgrading to Z8 because there is not much benefit for them The very fact that Z7ii is still holding on a relatively high asking price in the used market means Z7iii isn't coming. Not any

Z8 lowlight performance

Seeing is believing. Take a look at it at various ISOs against other cameras. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=lowlight&attr13_0=nikon_z6ii&attr13_1=nikon_z8&attr13_2=nikon_z7ii&attr13_3=sony_a7iv&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=raw&attr15_3=raw&attr16_0=25600&attr16_1=25600&attr16_2=25

More megapixels or more focal length

If you want to mainly do wildlife, Id go for the Z50ii instead of the Z7. The Z7 is a first gen, high-res Z thats more suitable for landscape or portrait, and its tracking autofocus lacks behind even last gen DSLRs like the D500. The Z50ii has precapture, EXPEED7 AF with dedicated birding modes, and

I'm tired of the hate about the Viltrox lawsuit

I think the difference is that in the Sony system, you can have an excellent setup in the APS-C system without needing to step up. And if you do? You can use those same DX sensors and still have a great resolution crop. A6700 - IBIS? Done. Affordable primes? Done. Affordable constant f2.8 zooms? Don

Benefit of mirrorless vs dslr?

The viewfinder and rear LCD perform the same. So when you need to shoot at some weird angle off the back screen, you aren't giving up AF performance. The viewfinder is a screen, so it can show more stuff. It can preview exposure, show a histogram, focus peaking, etc. But with a DSLR, you can look th

Should I get an OM3 or x100vi or…?

Fuji autofocus is the worst of the mainstream companies. Fuji weather sealing is unreliable. I didn't find the 40mp on the X-T5 anywhere near as croppable as my Nikon Z7 (45mp). I'm not sure if that's the Xtrans, the file processing, or what. It just didn't retain detail as much as it should have. P

After 3 months of RE photography, I had decided to throw in the towel

Use a modern mirrorless properly, then compare. I own both. My Z6III SH*TS all over the pocket 3, not even in the same world if you want to be taken seriously. The Z7 is not the right tool for video. The current gen Nikon lineup is night and day better.
