I got a Z6 last year after selling a D750 & some assorted lens. My sole motivation was that my wife & I travel extensively (at least until COVID-19 came along) & my prior camera/lens combination was too heavy.

Kept a Nikon 24-70/f2.8 lens but intend to trade it for a Z 24-70 model. Will do so when we can schedule another European trip. My only concern about the Z6 is the single card issue.

My primary use of the Z6 is travel & grandchildren.

I don't have the array of your cameras; when I went to the Z6, I only had a D750 & a D300s. I got rid of all my Nikon lenses, but kept the Nikon 24-70 f2.8. The adapter works fine, but after using it a bit, I decided to trade the new Z lens for a 24-70 f/4 (Z) for travel. Unfortunately, the pandemic has canceled our 2 planned trips for 2020. When we can finally travel, I will pull the trigger.

When the rumored Z6 upgrade appears, I will look at it...only "itch" I need scratched is the single card slot on the current model...let me clarify... there may be other things I need, but I don't know enough about them to comment at this time.

Very nice! Like the background; seems to make the flower really pop!

Self-guided tour. Didn't know until we started to head back to the car that our driver was discreetly following us to make sure we didn't get lost.


Was in Delhi a couple of years ago w/a couple of other photographers (one a pro & the other an advanced amateur — more advanced than me). We were out walking around on a street, and noticed being noticed by a surly crowd. We decided the best option would be to return to our hotel.

Later in the trip, got some really good shots; the people we met were friendly. Interesting architecture!

I had one when I bought a D700 ff; unfortunately, did not compare to the 17-55 2.8 I had used on a D300S. It seemed to be sharp one day but not the next. It also probably speaks to my lack of knowledge (and patience), but I replaced it with a 24-70 28 that I still use on my z600.

These are nice shots...was there about 10 years but it was a rainy, nasty fall afternoon. Mine would not have turned out as well as yours!

I had the Nikon version of that lens and while I upgraded to the 24-70 f2.8 when I went to FF, it remains a favorite. Yes, it was heavy, but I got some great shots with it!

Really enjoyed the photos....I traded in my D750 for a Z6, but kept my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 lens, as I was skeptical re: the 24-70 f/4. However, after reading a lot of material on this web site & others, I think I will buy the f/4 version after all and get rid of the f/2.8. My wife and I travel a fair bit and the weight of the older outfit has become somewhat more burdensome as I have aged.

Well, most of us have some kinda PC and a wireless router of some sort.

Kinda funny for me, having been working with, building, and programming computers for over 45 years, and having been a network administrator for, I guess around 7 years, I just have run-of-the-mill off the shelf stuff.
That's all I need.

Isn’t it funny that often times, “what you have is what you need!”
