[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 813024, member: 46724"] If you are happy with what pops out of your Z5 without cropping, there isn't much difference. If you try cropping images coming out of the Z5 and are unhappy with the results, there is a substantial difference. The AF and IBIS is similar enough to not really notice a big difference. The biggest difference to me is the ability to crop or to shoot telephoto in DX mode to get the crop done in body- which helps keep the file size down. The 7 isnt as good with high ISO, low light shots, plus the file size is twice as big as the Z5 once the images make it to your computer, (don't forget the CFexpre$$ card and card reader). To answer your question: Yes it's a substantial upgrade, but not if your uncomfortable spending the coin. Is there old gear you're not using to put towards the purchase? That could soften the blow. I sold some of my DSLR gear and it completely funded my new Zf. You'd be surprised how much you'd get off old gear, at least I was. [/QUOTE]
