[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 793113, member: 10742"] Let me re-state my previous post. There's an obvious difference in exposure. There are large differences between the aperture settings, and the ISO... If you are trying to test to see the difference between the two "bodies", here is what I would do... Use a tripod and measure the distance between the front edge of the lens and a specific point on the subject... That should eliminate any disparity in focus distances... Then I would set the ISO and aperture on both cameras to the same exact settings... Other than something being "different" what specifically are you looking for to be different???? Focus???? Dynamic range?????? One would NOT necessarily be "better" than the other... They would just be different... I would expect to see slight differences in focus and color rendition just because you're using two different lenses... I would NOT expect to see much difference in comparing ISO between the same values on two different cameras simply because THAT'S what ISO is all about... Any difference will be between the range and how much noise starts to get introduced at higher values...but certainly NOT exposure... Without knowing which specific lens you used on either camera makes it a crapshoot... You might be using an older designed kit lens on the D3500 and trying to compare that to a better quality (not kit) lens on the Z6... <--THIS in and of itself opens the discussion between "better" versus "different"...
