[QUOTE="Danno, post: 744803, member: 34269"] Chris, I think you might want to give it a minute or two before you make the jump. I know that the talking heads on YouTube have really put down the Z6 and Z7 as 3rd rate cameras, but they are not. They are actually quite amazing and do an excellent job with autofocus of face and eyes of people and animals. Are they as fast as Canon and Sony? Not yet, BUT... (and this is the reason I think it is worth giving them a minute), the Z6 and Z7 II have been announced and the full announcement is on October 14. Rumored specs include dual processors that would dramatically improve focus speed as well as dual card slots and a functional battery grip. I love my Z6 and one of the most amazing things has been the Nikon support. There have been a number of firmware updates since the introduction of the Z6 and 7. They have included improvements to the focus system, addition of animal eye and face recognition, improved lowlight focus improvement, and just enhancements as well as bug fixes. I also love the Z glass. The 50, and 85 f1.8 glass is amazing. The 24-70 and 14-30 f4 is as well. I replaced my 14-24 f2.8 with the 14-30 f4 and I do not miss it at all. All the Z glass is sharp and clean. Also, my 200-500 f5.6 and my Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 works with the adapter as well as it did on my D700. If you feel the need to make the move now I hope you enjoy the Canon mirrorless. It is a good camera system. But I think you should give it a few weeks and see what is coming. You have a great system right now. Nikon is serious about their mirrorless, in spite of what Tony, Chelsea, Fro, and the Nikon Man have to say. [/QUOTE]
