I picked up a used Z6II with the kit 24-70mm f/4 lens and an A7III about three months ago. The A7II wound up being a bit of a journey (the first body was defective), but I now have a functional ...

I put my SB700 on the Z6II today for the first time and took a few pictures. I stuck with wide-l and the settings that thisisbenji share . I'll be taking more pictures tomorrow morning and will ...

I don't intend the problem I'm describing to be related directly to subject. It's more about the camera communicating where it is/isn't focused. Here's a quick rundown of cameras I've owned. D40/D5 ...

A decent number of the photos on this thread with the Z6II out of focus were taken in focus priority :-( I was out with my kids today (sick wife and my kids are in MWF preschool/daycare, so I got ...

Yup - budget. I'm more of a stills person than a video person and the changes in stills land didn't justify the extra $500 new. If you're willing to go used, you can get a used A7III for quite a ...

Hi All, 15 year hobbiest on-again-off-again shooter here. I started with a D40 that I did some traveling (landscapes or portraits of well behaved adults) with, upgraded to a D5300 that I did some ...

Agree, what I'm describing makes no sense for a static subject. However, my subjects are often in chaotic motion so I would likely need to keep AF engaged. The behavior I'm observing so far is not ...

Sadly, at this point I'm not really sure what I could do to use it in a better way. Kid's faces in profile might not present a great surface for AF, but does that mean one shouldn't take photos of ...

I have not, but I've also been shooting wide open on the kit lens (it's only f/4 after all). I'm under the impression that in live view, the Z6II will focus at whatever the current aperture is, ...

In this case, none of the above. Here's the scenario: format memory cards, put camera in shutter priory, af-c, center focus, f/2.8 to ensure solid lens sharpness, aim at a well lit thing with lots ...

Thanks all for the feedback, I certainly wasn't expecting this much of a response. It seems like the consensus is a mix of "this is the way it is", to a small amount "novice users make errors", to ...

Hi All, 15 year Nikon hobbiest on-again-off-again shooter here. I started with a D40 that I did some traveling (landscapes or portraits of well behaved adults) with, upgraded to a D5300 that I did ...

The thing that confuses me is that the shooting rate doesn't change between shutter priority or focus priority? If I decide to stick with the A7III, which is seeming more and more likely, I'll pick ...

I find myself rooting for the Z6II, so I've spent the past few weekends shooting both cameras to try to talk myself into it being the better option for me. The Z6II always felt like it was faster ...

In the US, the A7III currently only sale for $1,700 USD. It's bounced between that price point and its $2,000 MSRP for the past couple of months. The A7IV is currently listed for its retail MSRP ...

I mulled over the A7IV, but ultimately didn't think it was worth the extra $500 over the III to me. A used A9 is somewhat tempting, but I'm not sure that I want to give up the added dynamic range ...

As the post says, I have both an A7III and a Z6II in my possession. I intend to sell one or the other in the near future and am having a somewhat hard choice regarding which to keep and am looking ...

No problem, happy to provide some info. Although my hands are happier with the Nikon, I think I'm going to be keeping the Sony for its AF and lens catalog. The Fuji size advantage is temping, but ...

Hello soon to be fellow parent! I came from a D40 -> D5300 -> having kids/not wanting to carry a camera -> J5 -> Z6ii and A7III (I intend to sell one of them soon). I'm a stills shooter and went ...

Thanks to all for all the feedback and ideas. I took the A7 III and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM to a local camera store today. The rep I talked to said the behavior wasn't normal and grabbed another A7 ...
