Is Nikon Z50 II better than Canon R50 bundle for a beginner?
I can't speak for the Canon; I shoot full frame Z bodies, 80-90% corporate/industrial video and some corporate stills/product shoots. The little Z50ii is my little gimbal monster though - it punches way above its weight/price. Nikon simply didn't cripple the thing in any meaningful way. It lacks in-

Recomendation for beginners
Okay, so a couple of things That is absolutely the right camera to start learning photography - good job. Until the Z50II came out I always recommended the ZFc but for various reasons the Z50II is now the better choice Don't buy new. See if Nikon has that exact gear available refurbished at a discou

He's dead, Jim (D500 replacements?).
Nikon would've broke the bank with how much something along the lines of a z500 would sell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but z50ii proves that there's still demand for aps-c mirrorless bodies. D500 is one of the best cameras that nikon has ever made in my opinion, and a mirrorless alternative with ibis

Beginner Nikon camera recommendation $1000–$1200?
Z50ii, look for the 2-lens kit on Nikon’s refurb sale. It’s hands down Nikon’s best entry-level wildlife camera.

My d500 has a shutter count of 576,750, thinking about what to do (upgrade or not?)
As a fellow hobbyist, I don't see anything wrong in sticking to the D500 (shutter replacement, or second used body) if you're satisfied with it. Great value, great performance... Now, if you're curious, why not rent a Z to try it... As someone else suggested, Z50 II would the only option for sports

Nikon USA Refurbished Sale is up
Z50 II for $650 is really nice. I don't think you can buy a better camera for $650 USD new or used

If you wanted to buy the best camera for birdwatching (and wildlife) for up to $2000/€, what would you buy?
If you want to stick with Nikon, my pick would be a Z50ii with a 150-600mm or the 180-600mm (if the budget will stretch to it--how are used prices for the 180-600?). Alternatively a D500 with a 200-500 (Nikon) or 150-600 (Sigma or Tamron).

Nikon Z8 als Anfänger ?
Wenn du nur stille Objekte fotografierst ist eine Z8 absoluter Overkill. Deiner Fotos werden mit einer Z8 kein bisschen besser aussehen als mit einer modernen aber günstigeren Kamera. Die ganzen Features, die die Z8 hervorheben benötigst du wahrscheinlich gar nicht. Stell dir mal selbst die Fragen:

Kamera zum Birden
Von denen, DEFINITIV R7 + 100-400. Ziemlich ordentliche Kamera und wiegt nicht viel. Die P950 ist eher für Beweisfotos bei gutem Licht. Wenn du eher in Wäldern oder anderweitig bei wenig Licht unterwegs bist, kannst du dir auch die Sony A6700 + 70-350 anschauen. Die ist sogar minimal leichter und ko

Honest opinion about vacation photos taken on my Iphone - is it worth upgrading to proper camera?
I think you have an eye for good compositions. If you enjoy taking photos, I'd definitely do it! I started my photography journey with the Nikon Z50II and absolutely love it. Powerhouse for the price!
