[QUOTE="Glevum Owl, post: 714894, member: 27703"] Right, I've spent an hour or two checking out the Fuji T-30 (again) on the recommendation of an insistent, arty friend. And returned right back to the Z 50. Thanks for all the advice. I had no intention of hijacking the thread. Honest. I'm mainly a family shooter so it's portraits, seasonal events, holidays, personal moments and action shots of our daughter who's a one person perpetual motion machine. Like you I shoot a little architecture and some in our church; low, mixed lighting is not the photographer's friend. My D3300 just about coped with the last Nativity play, the problems were having to use a high ISO and keeping focus on so many moving little ones. Also occasionally I'll slip out with a friend and photograph some of the historical local buildings. I rarely print, shoot RAW exclusively and use both my lenses in equal measure. Thanks for your comments. The advice to keep the SB400 is noted! The modest kit I have now has served me very well for five years. Therefore the Z 50 kit lenses should be fine providing they perform as they did in Jared Polin's YouTube excellent Z 50 'preview'. So, amalgamating all the advice, and given my budget, I think I'll - sell the D3300 and [B]both[/B] lenses, - get the Z 50 two lens kit (Mikew's right, it's too good a deal to miss), - save up for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f1.8 S Lens (and a maybe Z6? ;)). At least that's the plan for now. Who knows what prime lenses for the Z50 Nikon will release in the next few years? If none, then the FTZ mount adaptor is always an option. [/QUOTE]
