Nope, I don't need no stinkin' mirrorless camera and I fer sure don't need no stinkin' full frame. I don't even shoot raw. But they kept it up, they kept showing me stuff till the rationalizer kicked in and my tiny rat brain went to work. What if I get a really good deal on a camera that I really, really want where I can get away with my present lenses for some time to come with no further expense and it will do everything my D7500 and my Z50 will do combined, plus have room for more tricks later if I want to learn them? The pressure was too much. Z7ii on the way. I don't even have the camera yet and I already spent $70 on a memory card (and that was on sale!) and as soon as I get the body to make sure all is well, another $50 or so for a card reader since my old one has no CFExpress type B slot. Might just need another dedicated monopod and maybe a ball head. So much for no further expenses... ah, but then I'll be a really, really great photographer, right? (Did I tell you about the 180-600 they keep showing me?) 😁

Enjoy your new purchase. Not to pile on to your additional expenses but you may want an extra battery or 2. Ask me how I know🤷‍♂️. But congratulations anyway.

Your quote, " I don't need no stinkin' mirrorless camera" yet you already owned a Z50, what gives with your wrongly worded post?

No apology or rationalizing necessary. You deserve a new camera, right? 👍

Enjoy your new camera niteman. I have a Z7ii and love it. It's an incredible camera! and I am looking forward to seeing your posts with it.

Yeah, but not full frame and mirrorless all in one place. Come to think of it, there's more than just the Z50... I also have several of the Nikon 1 series. The Nikon 1 v3 is one of my favorite cameras ever (all except that danged little Micro SD card). I'm still butt-hurt about Nikon abandoning that enterprise.

Life is too short, so why leave those $$$ to your heirs?
Instead, leave them with a very (once) nice and (slightly) worn-out (once) state-of-the-art camera.*
That way, Everybody wins, and that makes me . . .

I keep saying that about computer 'builds'... my last half a dozen were 'my last one'. My rig is a full blown 'gamer' type setup, with so many terabytes of memory that I've forgotten how much. I don't need the speed. All my computers use fast dual M.2 drives, and good graphics cards... my last build... I'm just waiting for new components to come out.
