[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 830242, member: 50197"] Yes, I am aware that the 8 won't give me much, if any image quality advantage over the 7ii. It may perform better in low light, being a stacked sensor, vs the BSI of the 7ii. While appreciated, additional low light performance is not a big deal for me, other than increased AF performance, which is what I am most concerned with. I have lusted after an 8 or a 9 for a while, but just couldn't justify spending the money. This windfall changes the game for that. If I hadn't purchased the 7ii last year, I probably would have ordered it last night, after seeing the deposit in my account. By all accounts, the 8 performs nearly as well as the 9 in most areas, including AF. I am a little concerned that if I get a Z8, the Pup may want one as well. :oops: Ironically, I would have an easier time deciding to spend the money on one for her, than for myself. [/QUOTE]
