[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 777897, member: 50197"] I'm starting to look down the road at upgrades. My daughter and I both are using crop sensor DSLRs. The resolution is decent IMO, but the technology is inexorably moving on. I am considering something with a good bit higher resolution. Not sure that just going to a full frame is that big a bump. Most offer the same MP rating as what we have. I know, MP isn't everything, but they are an important part of the equation. I'm looking at the Z7. This should be a very significant jump in resolution, but I have one or two concerns beyond laying out several thousand dollars. First and foremost, I had a chance to handle a Nikon Z a few months ago. Not sure which model. The owner complained about the lag between depressing the shutter, and the camera taking the picture. I got the impression it was similar to the lag my D3400 has when in LV mode. I believe I would find this a real obstacle, especially when shooting things like wildlife. It would also be hard for me to deal with after so many years of film cameras and the current DSLR with no lag. Is this the case with the Z7, and if so, how much of an issue is it for you? The other issue is the viewfinder. I found it to be a little hard to be comfortable with. Of course, this was just a few minutes of playing around with the camera. How hard is it to adjust to the non optical viewfinder? I'm also not too happy about the price of memory cards. I assume they went to something other than the ubiquitous SD card to support higher transfer speeds, but the price tag on the XQD cards is a shock. Not really a question, just an observation. Not really looking to go out and buy something soon, but looking down the road. We already have one FX telephoto zoom, although that would require a converter to use on the Z. At a minimum I would have to buy a converter and a normal zoom in addition to the camera. [/QUOTE]
