I'd sell the Z6 and keep the D500 but it really depends on what and how you like to shoot. If you don't do fast action of any type then I'd probably keep the Z6. If you do fast action but like to ...

If Nikon has implemented the firmware update via snapbridge correctly there isn't much to worry about.  It's pretty simple really, upload firmware file to their servers with an md5sum of said ...

I don't think this answers the Ops questions.  As of now there are no Z7II videos from Steve yet.

Thanks all, as I suspected I have a counterfeit grip. I contacted the seller and their response was that the item is not fake because they never listed Nikon as the brand and only listed the ...

Hello all, I've purchased what was supposed to be a genuine MB-D17 grip for my D500. I'm a bit sceptical of it being the real deal though because it feels much like a Meike grip I used to have and ...

The major problem is that when it breaks it can slip between the telescoping housing of the lens.  This piece then will scrape along at least one of the walls as the lens focal length is changed ...

I think most people who are serious BIF shooters have passed on the gen 2 Z cameras because they already know what the outcome will be. So that leaves everyone wondering why there are no BIF ...

Correct, the smiley face was there for a reason. I 'expected' the Z II's to be better. Well, maybe expected is the wrong choice of words. Perhaps 'hoped' is better. To be more precise, I had hoped ...

With my vast hands on experience with the ZII models I can say that without a doubt it is no D500/850 in regards to birds in flight. Do take into consideration that I have not yet touched a ZII ...

I think this is one major issue that a lot of BIF shooters struggle with. The top end cameras for both mirrorless and dslr do a good job once focus is locked (although I'm still struggling at ...

No, I am not conflating anything. You're talking about in lens VR and IBIS like they are mutually exclusive, they are not. They have the ability to work together thus my argument that mirrorless ...

Couldn't agree more. For me the custom button assignments are just as important as the ability for the continuous AF to be somwhat competatiive to the D500/D850. Fingers crossed that the ...

"IBIS doesn't matter for birding" - Why not? Yes, it is true that IBIS is less effective at longer focal lengths however that does not make it "ineffective". The OP posts both static birds and ...

I can't answer for the OP but since I am in the same situation I can answer for me or potential benefits that anyone would have. If the AF is equal to the D500 then you stand to gain from a Z II ...

I'm in the same boat as you.  Assuming the Z II continuous AF can keep up, viewfinder blackout is less of an issue, and custom controls are more customizable then a Z II camera is definitely in my ...

Speak for yourself. I'm no pro yet I see great benefit to redundant cards (for instance to keep those once in a lifetime trip photos backed up, just in case). My grips are pretty much glued to my ...

I am not fully up to spec on which cameras compare to which in the mirrorless space so a genuine question for all those saying that these cameras should have been released two years ago, which ...

It may be a feature, but there is no way that was anything other than a representation/simulation of what can be seen. No way an EVF is that clean looking to the eye or when it is recorded by a ...

The kingfisher was fine, the rest while fairly sharp weren't great BIF shots is all I was trying to say.  Much better examples in your second set.  Perhaps I am just salty that you haven't ...

Indeed the clip at 0.50 doesn't tell us the whole story.  Was there EVF lag (almost certainly). Does the ZII give the option to hide all settings and only display what your shooting?  If not then ...
