There are no limits to what you can accomplish when you own a mirrorless camera.
I want to do brain surgery. Should I get a Z6 first? 😎😎😎

I switched early-on from the D810 to the Z7 primarily because of weight and Nikon had a sensible plan for my needs. I had Zeiss primes that with my 810 clocked in at over 25lbs in my backpack and I found that restricted where I could go. By putting Image Stabilization in the body Nikon avoids the redundancy (and weight) of equipping each lens. I currently have the 14-30 F4 and 24-70 F4 and both are the lightest zooms compared to other makers. Body and both lenses are less than 5 lbs total and my fully loaded backpack now comes in under 10 lbs. When they come out I plan to replace the 24-70 with the 24-105 and pick up the 100-400. If they ultimately make a 1.4x converter I will have from 14mm to 560mm coverage with three lenses and hopefully still under 10lbs. That was/is my rationale and as Paul Sager frequently espouses you have to make your own justifications for such changes. Do it for your own reasons not someone else.

The AF-S 105 works fine on my Z6 with the adapter.
I didn’t mention the high ISO performance of the Z6. It is awesome. Even ISO 51,000 images are useful!

I don’t know if it’s a case of gas, seeing the writing on the wall, or both. I’m seriously looking into getting a Z6. I’ll keep my D750, at least for now, for sports shooting.
I want to know if anyone has gone from a D750 to a Z6, and if so what your thoughts are on the switch. I have the $, so that is not a factor. I will be selling my D7200 equipment, though, as it will only collect dust with the addition of the Z6.
Thanks for your comments,
Dana

You will up your video capabilities.

Of course there can’t be a Z to F adapter. What allows a F to Z adapter is that because if the lack of mirror the body can be thinner on a mirrorless camera. The adapter is the proper thickness so that the lens is the correct distance from the sensor so the focal length is correct. An adapter on a DSLR would move the lens farther away from the sensor, kinda like using extension tubes for macro.
It is possible, it would require a lens.

I went from a D800 to a Z6. I’m not impressed and unhappy about the inability to wet clean the sensor, which seems a dusk magnet.
I also find fussing with the adapter annoying, and Z lenses overpriced.
I’m hoping to replace it with a refurb D850.

I find your comments interesting. You will be very happy with the D850. It is an outstanding product. Sorry to hear about your experience with the Z's.

Are you trying to be funny?
Brain surgery still requires a digital single lens reflex.

If street photography is a goal, and you are keeping the D750, take a look at the Z50 2 lens kit. I own the Z6 and Z50 as well as full frame DSLRs. In order of most use, DSLR, Z50, Z6.

The Z50 specs seem great for someone shooting APS-C. Wonderful ergonomics too.

[quote=User ID]The blame clearly lies with the previous camera.
Plain as day. Inferior cameras lead to bad habits A good photographer can use any camera and take a great photo, a piss poor photographer will make an excuse for being piss poor.
