Thanks for the info and I think that puts the final nail in the coffin for a Z5.
I think the Z6ii is looking like the way to go for me, but I think I will retain my D500 as well. Would that make me a hybrid shooter :)
@BF Hammer @Clovishound As you both have the Z5 mark 1, can you advise what the AF is capable of tracking, eg will it lock onto a person walking quickly or running?
You have more or less mirrored my thoughts, as the Z6ii seems to be my number one choice at the moment, but I haven't totally ruled out the Z7. I am slightly concerned about the reported limitations of the AF on the Z7 and poor low light performance.
I will definitely take a big breath as I never jump quickly into anything :) . I have a feeling mirrorless might be a bit like upgrading your car for a nicer model, but do you really need it, as my wife keeps asking me 🤣
