If I had to choose between the Z7 and D850, it would probably be the D850. Simply because I like the feel of a full bodied DSLR in my hand, the Z7 looks like it was carved out of a rectangle piece of wood. If I had to choose between a Z6 and a Z7, it would be a Z6, because it has a more sensible amount of pixels and shoots faster. In my opinion, anything over 24mp for a full frame camera is wasted.

Thanks to everybody else for your opinions it is a lot of money that I am going to spend. Just needed some good feedback.

The feedback is about as good as your useless question.
Why not get both cameras? Then you won't be disappointed.

Based on this, I would still have to suggest the Z7 over the 850. I would find the EVF more useful than the OVF having used both previously before getting my E-M1mkII. Like RBorud indicated, after he setup the Z7 camera for his friend, he found the features to his liking. Not a surprise.

And then someone reminds us of a rude-jack-ass, such a petulant little animal. THAT BE YOU,

To all the rude petulant little people who issue such rude responses. You are small petty insecure people. Are you taken with your clever responses or that you have done a great job trying to put down others. Your insufferable remarks show what insecure people you must be. Only the little insecure people need to try to make others less significant in order to make themselves SEEM bigger and better. You people disgust me with your rudeness.

Z7 or D850

If you have to ask I would vote for the Z7. There are some reasons that you may not want a mirrorless, sports and fast moving nature to be more specific, but for everything else mirrorless offers many advantages.

Peronally I have no interest in mirrorless period. As for 850, true higher mp but Is that really an advantage? You shoot outdoor & landscape & portrait with a D750 which will do everything the D850 will from a practical standpoint. I have a friend that uses a 750 and creates some phenominal pictures. If you're going to blow up really huge maybe but I've blown up to 24x30 from a D300 @12 mp so again really huge... My suggestion is stay with the 750. If you really want a challenge and still do the subjects you like, pick up a medium format and use that. You could buy and develop a lot of film for the cost of an 850 and I've seen many Mamiya's for 3-400 with lens and filmback. Something to think about, at least...

That is so true. Some, and I do mean some don't have a stitch of kindness. Oh well. You can't change people. So don't try and spend your time ignoring these insensitive clods. I try to find some critique amongst the criticism. If I can't, I move on. As for which camera is better, don't fall into that whole. Every one will tell you the camera they are using is better than another. For me, I am content with the camera I am using. I WONT advertise it because I'm not getting royalties. The only thing I'm capable of changing is the current nut behind the viewfinder.
Enjoy photography and learn from those willing to give insight and good counsel.
Happy Shooting!

That nut behind the viewfinder...responsible for most camera problems! If only we could figure out how to fix that problem.

It IS a stupid game, especially for people like us who know that minor differences among cameras will not change the composition and quality of an image taken by a talented photographer.
So, NO, I will not play.. but go ahead and have fun, you must be bored.

After this I'll probably be on your' dumbass list, but I happen to be interested in this question, if you are not then don't read the post and kindly keep your comments to yourself. Thank you
