[QUOTE="Chris@sabor, post: 711585, member: 40915"] So, you won't be moving to Sony. LOL! As I said, I would love to stay with Nikon. That said a move to mirrorless seems inevitable to me and there are some benefits to it. Silent shutter, FPS, EVF, Video performance, autofocus seems to be advancing far fast that it did in DSLR's also. Sony and others gambled on the new tech, Nikon waited. I think there Z series is exceptional for a first generation but Sony and others have a massive head start that is evident in some aspects of performance. I want an extremely fast frame rate and autofocus capable camera as I shoot primarily Wildlife action. Even with 10 FPS in my D500, I wish I could get more frames of that critical few seconds that I may have waited hours, days or a lifetime to capture. The first Sony A9, now 2.5 years old, seems to compete or beat Nikons best focusing cameras and can do it at 20FPS! The Z series appear to even be slower in real world situations than what is claimed in the specs. Even Nikon doesn't claim them to be sports cameras. Some think I've already made up my mind, untrue. I am acquiring as much info as possible about who has the closest specs to my needs. The name on the camera doesn't qualify it or disqualify it. [/QUOTE]
