Panasonic GX9 (not G9) with 12-35mm f2.8. Provides the same view as a 24-70 mm in 35mm equivalent camera.
Why? It is smaller, lighter, and almost as capable as any full frame camera, and it more than meets my non-professional needs.

... it seems that the "honor" so much talked about by Japanese people is a thing of the past. .
That is a very racist statement. It is a grossly unfair stereotype, and it is 99.9999% untrue. You obviously have not lived in Japan and have not associated much with Japanese people, or you would not have made such a stupid statement. The Japanese are, on average, the most honest people on the planet.
Do not let a few misfit and/or greedy corporate execs cloud your already-faulty judgement any further.
Now, lest you question my credentials, I have been closely associated with Japanese people for 49 years; have resided in Japan for 10+ years; and can get by on my own in the Japanese language.
I am not that well traveled, but of the 65+ countries I have visited, Japan is by far the most safe and the people are the most honest I have encountered.
Have a great day!!

My Olympus bodies do have stabilisation.
My bad. I meant to say the Oly lenses don't have stabilization.

Panys have in body stabilization and usually in lens stabilization. Olys do not have in body stabilization. Otherwisw, fairly similar and lenses are interchangeable.

Panasonix GX9. I LOVE mine, and it has a bigger sensor than any point & shoot.

If buying from Japan do you get charged with any export taxes extra? Thanks Jim Bianco
No export tax on cameras for personal use.

I assume you bought this new and the 7200 comes with box, manual, etc. Also assume the 50mm is a f1.8 Nikkor lens, and there is no damage to either item.
Please confirm. PM sent. Will do paypal.
Thanks!!

They'll work find with appropriate adapter, but why? You gain in-body stabilization and features of the EVF like focus peeking, but native Sony mirrorless lenses are better and integrate with the body as part of the entire mirrorless system. If maximized image quality and performance is desired, you'll want Sony's lenses on a Sony body.
Why you ask? Here's why. The person already has Nikon glass and he wants a mirrorless camera that weighs less than his current camera. He believes the Sony model is a proven design and has the features he most desires, and he doesn't believe the new Nikon has been out long enough yet. That's why. So how about just focusing on that in answering his question.

Perhaps the shot is from a film negative? It is much easier to reverse a physical negative than a digital file.
Take a selfie from any cell phone.

I stand corrected. Sounds like something the Army might do.
The Army doesn't have SEALs... only the Navy. The man in the photo is not a Navy SEAL. He is wearing the patch of a Army Green Beret, aka Special Forces.
