    Testing AF-C bursting shots z6ii

    New try. This isn't a complete match to the BIF scene (not even close, I think). But more of a casual test of z6ii AF-C bursting shots. The moving object wasn't moving very fast and I didn't use sigma 600mm either. Can I say there isn't much-losing focus on the object each individual shot in the...

    Testing AF-C bursting shots z6ii

    Like to try AF-C bursting shots on moving objects with z6ii. Came up with shooting moving vehicle idea at city street side, but not at day time as drivers may be intimidated. So here comes two of the bursting series (z6ii with Z 24-120mm S, AF-C, wide area large, CH high)

    Raise your hand, Z owners!

    Hi, Don't know where to put this thread. Since I now own and play with a z6ii, here is a new thread at Z6/Z6ii. It's interesting (and valuable) to know (and to learn from) the members here who own and use Z cameras. So I sincerely ask you, all z owners, to raise your hand for a head count and...

    Test Sigma 150-600mm C with z6ii

    Received a new (hopefully) sigma 150-600mm C recently from AMZ. Being testing it with my z6ii mainly for sharpness at 600mm. The first stage of shooting still objects was about done, yet no opportunity for testing moving objects with auto-tracking (any suggestion for moving objects other than...

    Z6ii arrived!

    Good news! I tried my z6ii with my AF-P 70-300mm non-VR for tonight's moon shot. By handheld and AF, it was easy to catch better images than my old D3500 (by tripod and MF). The images are much much better even with no PP!

    Z6ii arrived!

    Some shooting around 2nd time: (think AF experience getting better) Uncropped: 100% cropped: (120mm is not enough to reach far, am thinking about sigma 150-600mm) (just to test how sharp it can go)

    Z6ii arrived!

    Couldn't wait any longer! Not real scenic sites, just yard and neighborhood area for some practices with basic settings: Z 24-120mm f/4 S AF-P 70-300mm DX (with FTZii) - for comparison (picture control set as vivid)

    Z6ii arrived!

    My new z6ii has arrived today together with a new 24-120mm f/4 S and an FTZii. B4 I can use it, made some visual inspections, and a few initial installations. Basically, the body and lens feel solid and strong in construction. The lens, however, is unexpectedly heavy (even heavier than F...
