[QUOTE="Danno, post: 747062, member: 34269"] I can speak to the Z bodies. First battery life is way underestimated after a few uses. I get 700-1000 per charge. The Z5 is a good camera with a few less video features than a Z6 but it is still good for family stuff. It's a good stills camera. The FTZ adapter works great with lenses that contain the focus motor. The body has 5axis IBIS which is amazing. I have the Z6 and it is the same IBIS and I can hand hold at much slower shutter speeds. it also works with F mount lenses whether they have VR or not. The other big piece for me is the EVF. With that view finder you get to see what the exposure will be. The EVF allows you to see what your changes to the exposure will look like once you press the shutter. What You See Is What You Get... The last plus is the glass. It is really good. The Z lenses that have an "S" designation is premium. All the primes are S lens. the 24-70 f4, 14-30 f4 are S lenses. If yhou can you should give the Z5 a try. it is much different than the DSLR bodies and there is more to it than just the weight. [/QUOTE]
