[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 711938, member: 34269"] Chris I am just going to chime in one more time. In regards to your waiting to see how the A9II and the Z9, (if there is one in the near future) compare. If I had listened to the reviews of Tony and Chelsea Northrop, The Angry Photographer, Fro Photo, and a half a dozen others that slammed the Z6 and Z7 I would have never bought. In stead I listened to a friend of mine that shoots similar things to me that bought a Z7 and that, along with other less infamous influencers reviewed the Z series cameras. What I learned about these "professional" reviewers took no time to get familiar with the camera. Tony and Chelsea complained about the white balance and had no idea that there were three Auto WB settings and when they sent out the video on how to set up the menus they blew it. Half the recommendations were wrong. None of them know how to aquire a start point when using tracking in a cluttered scene, but it is different and in the manual. Now Fro has walked his position back and likes the Z cameras almost begrudgingly. The Angry Photographer still hates the camera but claims he never trashed the image output. Many of the others, including some Sony folks, speak much better about the Z cameras. The thing is the Z cameras operate a bit differently than the Nikon DSLRs. Those of us that took the time to work with them love them. I could not be happier than I am with my Z6. I am able to capture my dog running toward me and I could not do that with the D700 or 7200. It is no D500 but right now it is the best body I have ever owned and keeps getting better with each firmware update because Nikon seems to be listening to owners. If you chose to wait rent the bodies and try them out. They are amazing. I have seen some amazing wild life shot with the Z6 and Z7. I do know what you mean about shutter count though. That is part of the reason I can capture Jersey Girl with my Z6 :). I just keep it on 10 FPS. [/QUOTE]
