"viewers look at them from a distance, then get up close to see the detail, then back up again. They don't stay 6 feet away." Yes, many people do exactly that. But I don't know how many of them ...

I'm a bit cynical about it in that I think most people buy wall-size prints primarily to impress their friends.  And they probably fall into 2 groups.    If it's a landscape, they want you to look ...

This is a good test, but... it's not clear to me what conclusions might we draw from it.   In the end it's all totally subjective of course.  Are we comparing degrees of 'excellence'? I do agree ...

Another thing to consider is that a big, widely expected product launch is often delayed or cancelled because the financial guys crunched the numbers again and got a different answer.

I got into the tech business 40 years ago and whenever this question comes up, some pundit writes  column that basically says " it depends... but you might want to wait."  And then you spend ...

I'd really like to have the Z mount... but the price is so much higher, I feel like I'd be paying a big premium just to show my support for Nikon mirrorless... Seriously, much of my indecision ...

I'm also wanting a wide-angle.   I'm not crazy about the adapter but the F-mount 18-35  is soooooo much cheaper than the Z-mount 14-30.    What justifies the higher price of the Z-mount? www.jimhph ...

My Z6 has a spot where the rubber is peeling - a top layer is delaminating and tearing off. I'm not anxious to try for a warranty 'repair' because the problem may just reoccur. Has anyone tried ...

Thanks for pointing this out. The manual really should be improved - actually, corrected - to properly explain this feature. But camera makers assign manuals a very low importance. Theye basically ...

I sent in a support question, including a photo, asking them if replacing the rubber would end the problem. Not expecting anything but a canned reply, but maybe it keeps up the pressure to really ...

I'd like that too. We'll never get it. The EVF has become  marketing tool, a place where they can impress you with the camera's countless 'features' if you're checking it out in a store.

Rubber that doesn't peel.

I can't even imagine the joy memory card makers must feel when they see posts saying "cost shouldn't be an issue".   LOL

The camera is only 3 months old and is is lighly used an the peeling is in an area I hardly touch. It's just bad material. But I'm not going to send it in until I hear that the replacement is better.

Hi, I'm the OP and I'm totally enjoying this thread. It's a great example of the various directions in which online discussions typically spin, including some classic 'metacomplainers' - people ...

I guess the real question is: are they eplacing the peeling rubber with something better? If not we're just wasting our time on fake repairs.

Yes it would be nice if I could fix that simple error, but DPReview has decided that would violate some principle of forum integrity.

Just noticed peeling rubber on my Z6 and quickly found this thread. What did you guys have to do to get Nikon to replace it - is it as simple as emailing them? And is there any option besides being ...

Yeah. Guess I could have waited for a camera that met 100.0% of my list of requirements.  Like when we're job hunting.

My experience with memory technology starts in the 70s when I worked for a company that made memory modules for computers of the day. I was there when EEPROM was new. My first floppies were 8".  ...
