Moving goal posts going whoosh. Yeah, adding more stuff into cameras makes them bigger, especially for the larger battery it requires. I'm sure you'll nitpick the z8/z7iii/whatever to death because ...

Any of them really can be, just needs you to have some level of arm strength. You'll also be supporting the lens primarily, so keep that in mind.

because nikon doesn't care as much about the dx level at this point, and I don't think they ever will. The best lenses have always been ff, and the dx stuff they have is already pretty good. No ...

Nikon says as much on their website. The TCs are only compatible with specific lenses. https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/mirrorless-lenses/z-teleconverter-tc-2.0x.html#tab-ProductD ...

some people spend a lot of money on impulse without taking time to study what options there are beyond that. I used to have that problem. Still do sometimes, but I used to as well :D

Probably not going to happen, especially in the near future, but I don't expect it to happen in the next 4 or 5 years. F mount had tons of time to build out, so you can adapt those, buy third ...

Monitor. Don't chimp. There's literally 0 reason when you can look at stuff in the evf only. Set a sleep timer of like 30 seconds or so. I think I have mine at 10.

Strictly for landscapes? The 9 isn't worthwhile over the 7. If you include wildlife, etc, then the 9 is the much better choice. I've heard the 9 is also better for astro, but I haven't had as much ...

I haven't seen any issues with my 7 or 9, or heard of those issues on a nikon body.

It boils down to bigger sensors needing beefier ibis units, and the size of the camera bodies limits those to whatever will fit in the size people will buy.

It depends on a lot of things. A new lens might help a lot, but also on how you're using the focus modes too (though the upgrade from the z7 right now is the z9, and the hypothetical ...

It doesn't change if they move when the picture is taken that it can cause motion blur.

Could be the person moving, could be slight misfocus, could be depth of field, could be a lot of things. It'd help to post examples of what you're seeing.

Why not... Just set a time delay? Why do you need to tether?

Sounds like GAS to me. The z6ii is fine. Use it for birds and spend the money on lenses instead of buying a new camera.

What? That's only for silent mode readout. Are you sure you're aware of what you're talking about? Both cameras can do action fine, if behind the higher end models in af performance.

My g2 works with my z7 and z9 just fine. Might be worth updating the g2 firmware if you haven't already. It being 7.1 at the short end made me think you had a tc attached, but that doesn't make ...

Having had this argument multiple times in other topics, they don't underexpose. They expose properly, giving the metering mode and nikon choosing to protect highlights more as shadow recovery by ...

https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/552/Z_5.html Reference manual here. You can also just look for bracketing in yours, which would contain the information.

I would read your manual, specifically page 269 and the next few pages
