You are missing out on: IBIS Silent shutter (with caveats) Enlarged viewfinder focus Live histogram Smaller, lighter body Generally more precise focussing without lens alignment All these things ...

You mean Neutral right?  I don't think there is a Natural profile as named.

Two things: 1. A 750 batting average would surely get you into the All-Star game (or at least a tryout with the Red Soxs!) 2. Aren't you glad you are not shooting film? :-D

24-200?

I actually prefer a lens with notes of oak, marshmellow and hints of chocolate.  Better yet if it has a strong, slow finish with hints of cassis . . .

Nah that's won't void the warranty . . .

Note that apparently, release priority is only available in AF-C on the Z50.   I think the OP, from what he/she describes, is in AF-S.

I'm betting you are in AF-S. See this thread: Shutter release priority Note: "You are asking for shutter release priority in AF-S. I believe the Z50 only has shutter release priority in AF-C mode. ...

You are asking for shutter release priority in AF-S.  I believe the Z50 only has shutter release priority in AF-C mode.  The workaround is to focus on the original point but continue to hold down ...

May very well be. I don't remember the defaults though PhotographyLife states that "The rest of the buttons on the back of the camera are pretty much self-explanatory. The “i” button brings up ...

Either your camera has an issue or you have it set up wrong. My Z50 works fine using the AE-L/AF-L button - red square turns green for focus confirmation in AF-S mode.

If they ever did (which I doubt), nothing at all is certain these days with the collapse of the camera market, disruption in production plants, and general industry jitters (the Olympus ...

Ummm . . . the title on your flickr Album page says 24-70 f4-6.3 VR. You might want to fix that . . .

And the 16-50 is no good because? (I presume you are going to say it is too slow but it is really a heck of a good lens). I think the one problem you may have is that I've heard that the teacart E ...

To Zurich?

So remind me again exactly why you bought it? And remind me again exactly how much you 'researched' the Z system before you bought into it? Did you ever even look at the proposed lens roadmap? And ...

I actually don't disagree.  There are many folks here who have used the 28-300 for years and been more than satisfied and clearly if Ricci is giving a good accounting (and I think he is), the ...

Close maybe. You should watch Ricci's comparison between the 24-200 and the 24-70 f4S before you declare it the one lens to rule them all . . . For an 8X zoom it looks exceptionally good ...

The first question is whether the Z6 or Z7 hardware/software is capable of moving the IBIS in half pixel increments in sequence.  Maybe it can, but that is not a given. I used the multi-shot mode ...

That focus breathing is quite something.  But what comes across more than anything is the consistency of the 24-200 across the frame and throughout the range.
