I don't see how the Z50 would be better for noise: it has half the sensor area, so will collect half as much light in total, and in most conditions these days I'd expect that to be the dominant ...

But that's not going to address the original topic of this discussion unless it includes something like a FF 10-20 f/4 (which would be a rather interesting proposition).

I sympathise. My first Nikon DSLR was a D40, which was a similar size and weight to my film SLRs (though the lenses were bulkier than the old manual focus primes). But the D7100 was at the limits ...

9-10mm is 13.5-15mm FF field of view, so about the same as the wide end of the FF ultrawide zooms, and many UWA owners will tell you that they are used most at the wide end. So to me it doesn't ...

By that reckoning the 24-70 f/4, 14-30 f/4, 50 f/1.8 should not be "S" either. Nikon choose which lenses they give this designation to according to their own criteria. They have never stated what ...

Interesting that according to that site they sold ~145k 10-20 in the last 4 years, vs similar numbers of both the 12-24 and 10-24 in the last 18 years and 12 years respectively. I know price will ...

Somebody, I think Thom, recently noted that most smartphones these days have an ultrawide lens, and so this is a perspective that first-time camera buyers are used to having available to them ...

Is 60MP worth it? It only gives 15% extra resolution, so seems a questionable benefit for the extra cost. Given that Nikon have a 45MP stacked sensor the obvious solutions would be to either use ...

Nobody knows about a Z8, it's just a gap in the number sequence. Some people speculate that the gap may be filled by a higher resolution body, some that it may be filled by a high speed body ...

There is one obvious answer that would require minimal R&D spend: do what they did with the D780 and add on-sensor PDAF for live-view focus. Now I don't know how many of the DSLR owners who do not ...

Stacked sensor is a more complex process, so it's still going to be more expensive than the current BSI or FSI in 2023. And remember that the 45MP BSI sensor used in the Z7 is at least 4 years old ...

Actually I agree on the price of the 200-600, and if anything think it might cost less than $2,000. It's a non-S lens, fairly large from the photos, so my comparison is the F mount 200-500 which ...

So you are predicting that the non-S 200-600 will be 1.5* the price of the 200-500 but the 100-400 S will be 65%-85% of the price of the 80-400? I mean, you might be right, my crystal ball is ...

But your logic here would also predict that Nikon would be selling the Z7II for less than the D850. They aren't, they charge more for it. And I'm not seeing Canon cutting prices hugely either. ...

Do you think they'll be able to meet demand at that price? Because if they can't then they should price it higher. In any case I can't see Nikon selling a D6 replacement for 2/3 the price of the D6.

Hah! But speaking personally, no: one thing I really like is that my Z7 is so much more discrete than my DSLRs, even without selecting silent shooting. Even when there is nobody else around to hear it

In a Zf, definitely not. As others have said, the niche for a retro-styled FF camera is not the place for an expensive, speed-oriented sensor. For sure that will make its way into lower-priced ...

No probably about it: the Sun is way too light for any of the different models of core collapse, and has no companion it can accrete mass from. So  at least that's one thing we don't have to worry ...

This sounds incredibly uncomfortable to me, and surely impossible to use with a thumb while holding the camera in a shooting position. But since the Z9's most visible feature is an integrated ...

It's technically possible. But it's not probable for the Z50 II (i.e. next iteration of what's currently the entry model of the Z range).
