[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 830213, member: 50197"] Well, I just got an unexpected check. I won't say exactly how much it is, but it's enough to indulge in some camera equipment. I've had the Z7ii for about a year now, and I'm very happy with it except for one thing. The autofocus for stuff like birds in flight and moving critters. I feel a little irresponsible already for buying the Z5 3 years ago, then upgrading to the Z7ii last year. I don't really regret either decision in itself, but it seems like I'm not spending wisely. Having said all that, I would love to pick up a Z8. It doesn't help that they are on sale for $600 off right now. One worry I have, is that Nikon might shortly come out with the "perfect" camera for me later this year, but I suppose that is always an issue with tech these days. I would also like to replace my 200-500 f mount with the Z 180-600, but I don't think I want to spend that big a chunk right now, and from what I hear the 180-600 isn't enough of an upgrade to switch, if you already have the 200-500. Anyway, help me spend my money. And for the Z8 users, is the 8 head and shoulders ahead of the 7ii? [/QUOTE]
