Make me feel better about my purchase. New Z6ii

The main criticism against the first/second generation of Nikon's mirrorless cameras is that the autofocus has trouble keeping up with fast moving subjects. While this is a fair criticism, it's also nowhere near as bad as people on the internet like to make it out to be. If your primary use cases ar

Z6 III or Z8? I have the 45MP FOMO but my bank account is in DX mode.

Yeah get the z6iii with the lens zoom!! I have the Nikon 200-500 zoom lens and I rather use that on my z6ii than to crop in! I mostly use it for landscape and random wild life I see . I do also wants the Z8 and I do want it for 8k video since I do both but I rather also get the Z6iii and use it's 6K

Upgrade my gear from Nikon Z6II to Nikon Z8

The Z8 far, far exceeds the Z6ii in almost every way, so I am confident in saying it will be better “in terms of performance and technical features”, since you haven’t actually said what your needs are. AF performance, subject detection, 3D tracking, speed, resolution, controls, video, low latency v

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?

Yup, I miss my focus motor... Even though the SWM is faster and the new focus mechanism in the Z lenses is even faster than that. I'm amazed at how quickly my Z6II can focus with a modern lens on there, like the relatively cheap 28-70 f/4. (Also, the new Nikon 50mm f/1.4 is amazing, as is the Viltro

What is it with Nikon and Social Media

"But a wedding, god, it's been done for ages with manual focus." Did you just use my argument against yours, against yourself? Do you even read what people put in comments? You're really good at talking completely outside of the conversation. First of all, I never said or implied that it is impossib

Z6 II (old Nikon DSLR lens) or Alpha 6700 (Sony)

The 18-55-lens is APS-C lens so using it would be significantly underutlizing the camera - no meaningful performance improvement on FF body like Z6ii. The longer zoom allows for larger light collection, but you'll lose a bit or "reach". Z6 ii is better camera in most ways apart from one: AF - the So

Switching back to Nikon?

The eye detect issue was fixed in a firmware update a few years ago for the Z6ii. I have only used the Z6ii but would not hesitate to get another Nikon when I get around to upgrading.

Back UP Body Options?

Well, for $1000, you can get a used Z6II in excellent condition. The question is whether or not you want to keep the high pixel count of your camera, which while it does not have the most modern autofocus has one of the best sensors in Nikon's lineup. In that case, the cheapest camera may just be a

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?

D750 user here! The actual feeling of Nikons iconicDSLRs (D610, D750, D800…) is nowhere to be found on the Z5ii or Z6II. Purely because of ergonomics and the general workflow is completely different. I’ve tried the Z6Ii and I loved it nonetheless. It’s sharp, it’s fast, it feels like a real jump bot

Which body should i buy / upgrade to?

From that list, probably the z7ii or the z5ii. The mark ii models, excluding the z5ii, are decent upgrades from the originals. They include dual card slots, dual expeed 6 processors for better auto-focus and tracking, and a spec bump on somethings. The z7ii's 45 mp sensor puts out some nice images a
