[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 698661, member: 43545"] A few months ago I asked if there would be a forum for Z cameras and the response, generally, was that real Nikons are DSLRs. I guess that opinion has shifted bit now that the Z6 is outselling any other model by far. One of the biggest selling points is when first looking through the EVF, credit cards tend to fly out of wallets. There are a lot of other compelling reasons but the one that first hits home is seeing that bright, clear informative EVF, even in very dark scenes. The other advantages are recognized later after using it. The YouTube influencers tended to bash the camera when it came out or even more before anyone touched one but most of the naysayers either walked it back or lost credibility when users started figuring out most of those channels are by people who know even less about photography then their viewers. I unsubscribed from most of the channels related to photography when I heard the nonsense they were spouting. Although I have several other cameras which are very good (D850 and D800 for example) I find the Z6 to be more fun to use, it has motivated me to keep a camera with me and take shots just for the heck of it. I did a studio session last night and never even took the D850. In fact, while the D850 still has resale value I am thinking of adding another Z7. My first Z was a Z7 but after 10 days I traded it for a Z6 pius two S prime lenses. Some work need higher resolution and the excellent IQ of the Z7 matches the D850. The only new lenses I seek are Z mount S lenses, I am done buying F mount unless someone wants to sell a 105 1.4 cheap or a 200 2.0 prime at an affordable price. After getting used to the stills performance those who try out the video capabilities tend to suddenly want to develop that skill. The video performance is probably the best in the industry. Try shooting a hand held 5 times speed slow motion video of mundane activities and see how it transforms simple actions into works of art [/QUOTE]
