I have a couple dozen antique cameras and have looked at many more. This is the first of these I've heard about!

Thanks for posting!

I keep telling myself to put things on eBay - or bring them to the dump.

As I always say, "Maybe tomorrow."

I have routers, modems, and I don't know what else. I'm not sure I have any cameras I want to get rid of. Maybe a Z6 II. Mith the Z fc and Z8, it's not getting much use.

What is your impression of the zf compared to the 6ii? I have the 6ii and have considered getting the zf to replace it. From what I've read, the zf has taken some of the focus improvements of the z8 and z9 but is otherwise pretty much like the z6ii.

I agree. Although due to colloquialism I would "take" them to the dump.

The only reason I sell a camera is that I can't justify keeping it - and keeping someone else from owning it. The fc is a great, smaller camera, and I like the appearance. It has a crop sensor, and that goes well with the D750 and Z8. I can't say anything against the Z6 II or the fc, but since I got the Z8, the 6 II has become redundant. I haven't done a direct, specific comparison, but if I was considering buying - anything - I would look for reviews and comparisons. Since I don't earn any money taking pictures, any modern camera is fine.

Good luck with your decision.

Sorry, I thought you had the zf, not the zfc. I wouldn't trade a 6ii for a zfc.
