[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 755062, member: 9240"] So, I've had some more time to spend with the Z6ii as a wildlife camera and I'm starting to settle on the idea that it does some subjects great and some not so much, and all of that comes down to focus modes and whether or not you're in the one you want for a particular situation.

For small birds especially I'm thinking that the D500 will be my go-to for a while. With the 1.4xTC on the 500mm (what it takes for them to be equal) I'm also convinced it doesn't focus as fast.
