[QUOTE="benhasajeep, post: 847170, member: 70649"] I have a LOT of Nikon F equipment, and for years now avoided the Z line completely as my current line up 850, 800, 600 still work extremely well. But with over $1,250 off for a Z8 kit and 24-120 f/4 lens I jumped on it. I originally ordered a Z5II straight from Nikon with just a FTZii but came back as the body being back ordered. BTW I got the FTZii for $200 ordering it from them with the camera. Well I ended up deciding I would eventually want a Z8 so why wait with $900 off for just the body. On Monday morning (2 days ago) I called NikonUSA and cancelled just the Z5II due to back order and changed my mind to Z8. They cancelled just the Z5 and I went to a camera store in Dallas at lunch and bought the Z8 with lens. The FTZii is being delivered to my house in Maine today. I also bought their Z180-600s at the same time. Only $100 in rebate on it, but know I would also want it. Because I am traveling for work, I also had to buy a bag, reader, CFExpress card, and 2 filters. In all I spent $8k due to the fact the $1,450 off total on all the items together. I would say get the Z8 now if you want it. Waiting for the next greatest will just continue on, as 9II or 7III, or 8II is always around the corner! Then add a number to each after that, and cycle continues. [/QUOTE]
