SparkyNYC Loc: NYC & Coconut Creek,Fl
 
I took advantage of the Nikon 30 day free trial
I’m a bit disappointed with the construction
I’m glad that I got the FTZ adaptor for $99, on sale.
I like the weight,and the 11 FPS
I was upset that it wouldn’t let me use my Tameron 18-400 lens
I got it with the two lens kit, the lenses are so lightweight, no rear cap or lens hood included. That’s another way to raise money. I’m wondering if I would be happier with a D500 body and use my existing lenses.
I like to shoot
BIF, and my grandkids
There is a reason that they are offering a thirty day free trial
My DSLR history has been
D70 to D5200 to a D5300 with over 35,000 exposures
Any one have an opinion?
Thanks

Are you sure it is a Nikon Z5 that you have? Perhaps it's a Z6.

Well, the price might be right, but you don't seem happy with it. Return it...

There is no 3 weeks trial for Z6 or 7. Only for Z50.

Seems like you answered your own question:
" I’m wondering if I would be happier with a D500 body and use my existing lenses."

But then you will never meet any new devils. Sometimes the new devils are more fun than the old one. LOL.

I think it's a Z50 as there is no Z5 and also Nikon doesn't offer the 1 month trial on the Z6 but only the Z50.

Yep, you could be right. I met a new one once, dumped the old one and now have been happily married for 36+ years to the new one. chase
