Interesting review, thanks for sharing this experience.

My understanding is the Z6ii and Z7ii use the same viewfinder, and the following is from the DPR review of the Z6ii. So, I'm not sure what was going on with the Z6 you tested.

Yes, it is strange. But - they had different lenses. The Z7 II had the 20/1.8 and the Z6 II had a zoom lens. My experience is that EVF suffers for long focal lengths, where the image is moving fast.

One thing that was VERY clear though was that the finder in Z6 II was totaly off before he resetted the camera.

"The viewfinder in the Z6 II is the same 3.68M-dot OLED as in the original model (and the Z7/II). Nikon points out that the optics and coatings are of its own design and says it's decreased both the refresh lag and the blackout time between shots."

I keep hoping one of my Sony shooting friends would upgrade to an A1 because I'd really like to look thru that viewfinder, a 9.44M-dot OLED at 0.9 magnification.

I'm actually ok with the low end 2.36M OLED finder in the Zfc, and yes, the Z6ii I've used is better, but even now a 3.68M finder is something of a mid-quality unit, so the EVFs are definitely getting better.
