My first Z5 photo ever. Just a snapshot in the evening. It was raining and a million or so mosquitos.

I am a longtime user of fuji xt-2 and D750

I am upgradiing to something like xt-2 with D750 electronics

I am 65 and only snapshots of landscape and flowers in Norway

As fuji xt-4 and z5 are similar in price, that is a tough choice

Now, the z6 is lowered in price and at a lower price tha these two

I have no idea what to choose. One thing I know, z6 mark 2 I cannot afford

My local photo dealer just offered me Z5 plus ftz plus 24-70 lens for just a few bucks more than z6 plus ftz
I almost jumped at that one.

For what it's worth, I've decided to stick with my Fuji X-T3 and add a used Z3. Oh wait, you meant Nikon. #facepalm Enjoy your new camera!

Fuji or Nikon, I dont care.
Fuji was my first digital camera back in 1999
Nikon F2 was my first proper camera back in 1981.
Nikon F3 HP was my work horse from 1989 - 2001.

So I do care. After a few weeks, I realize Nikon Z5 HP do indeed
give the good old feel of F3HP.
And I love 24-50 lens
it reminds me kind of the Micro-Nikkor 55 /3.5
which was the only lens I owned these years. Dad owned a Nikkormat EL and a Nikkor 43-86 zoom.

I am glad you are enjoying the Z5. I felt sure that you would. Especially given your choice of material. Beautiful stuff...

I bought the Z5 couple of months ago when it was on sale for C$1300 (US$1000) with a free FTZ adapter.
I don't have any Z lens yet and currently I'm using Z5 with F-mount lenses while still keeping my 6-yr-old D750.
Here's one of my photos taken with Z5 and 24-85mm f3.5-4.5

So……

110 bucks for the B+W 010 UV-haze
90 for the Smallrig 2947
10 for the hood
5 for the op/tech strap, nice old strap, my fav

I guess that pretty much sums it all up …
