Hello all,

I have decided that a Nikon 850 is too expensive for my budget and have settled onto purchasing either the Nikon D750 or the Nikon Z6. I am upgrading from 9 years with a D90 to a full-frame format. I have no interest in video and mostly want to obtain tack sharp landscape photos (camera+lens+technique).

My thoughts are as follows. Does the use of a lens adapter on the Z6 degrade image quality?

Built in flash on the D750 could be helpful for occasional indoor family pictures. Extra expense to add flash to Z6.

D750 doesn't have a built in image stabilization as does the Z6, which would limit the lens selection to those with VR on the D750. Lens selection would be the same quality with either camera.

Currently, the D750 comes with a battery pack that would probably allow for easier vertical shots.

D750 control layout is more traditional than on the Z6. Less of a learning curve with the D750.

D750 is a bit less expensive, but it is four years old. Z6 is brand new and is most likely to receive a great deal of Nikon's research attention and budget in the future.

I guess what I am asking is would today's UHH Nikon D750 users, if they were buying a camera today, still choose the D750 or would they buy a Z6?

Thanks for your help.

Tough choice, but I love my D750. The Z6 is new, and it hasn't gotten 100% positive reviews - just like every other camera ever made. What you have to do is decide if you want to switch to mirrorless, learn a new system, and buy new lenses. There was a comparison between the D750 and Z6. I'll see if I can find it.

I haven't tried setting A11 yet. I'll try that out in the same light conditions where the Z6 hunted for focus.

I'm trying to completely understand when the camera is using its mechanical shutter and when it's using its electronic shutter. The way I understand it is that the camera is using the mechanical shutter is setting d5 is disabled and is using electronic shutter is d5 is enabled. I know that the fastest shutter speed is 1/2000 second when electronic shutter is used. If a shutter speed of 1/2000 to 1/8000 second is needed, option d5 must be disabled. Do you have a Z6? Is that what is happening?
