[QUOTE="Danno, post: 708742, member: 34269"] I wanted to make a comment on the part of your reply regarding the step backward. I can see where anyone can prefer the 850 over the Z bodies. That is simply a matter of personal preference. I would never argue over a persons choice. But I do disagree on the issue with regards to the Z systems being a step backward. Yes it is your opinion, and I will not argue that, but I do want to point out some advancements that you may not know about the Z6, and they do include the Z7 I can say without any reservation that, in my opinion, it is not a step backward, but a significant step forward in several areas. I cannot speak to the 850 I have never owned one. But the Z6 that I own, once I got to know the focus systems, has not disappointed me. The low light high ISO has blown me away. The IBIS is amazing as well. I have tremors that affect my hand hold shots. I had to really work on technique to get steady shots with my D700 and D7200. Now with the Z6 I can go below a 1/10 of a second with Z glass and it is steadier than I could get with either of my DSLRs. The low light and high ISO are amazing and from what I have read, comparable to the 850. The IBIS is just better than the VR that I have in the glass that I own, but the F mount lenses I use with the FTZ adapter work very well also. The other big thing is the WYSIWYG in the electronic view finder and being able to confirm shots on sunny days in the EVF. It is good to confirm the exposure and be happy with the focus and for those moments when you just want to be certain you can hit the review button and hit the OK button and without removing your eye from the viewfinder confirm the sharpness of the focus. I like nature shots like landscapes, flowers, and occasionally birds; it just depends on how I am doing. I like car shows and architecture as well. I also take a lot of photos for my church in challenging lighting conditions. I have been well pleased with the results, keep rate, and post processing. I won't say the Z6 is a D500 or D850 I have owned neither. but for me it is an amazing camera and the cool thing is they continue to upgrade firmware to make it better. The last two have improved focus and low light both. [/QUOTE]
