Absolutely. Thanks you for your reply.
Agreed. Money is an issue. He is an earn-and-burn type of fellow and has gotten himself into a trade situation whereby he trades photography for goods instead of money. I wish I could encourage him and steer him toward a better model but he seems set in his ways.
A professional photographer friend of mine stored his original files on thumb drives. My recommendation to him was to at least put them on a DVD/CD for safer keeping because all it takes is one errant static electrical charge or magnetic field to screw his thumb drive up and lose his photos.
Why are people willing to gamble with their profession?
Discuss. :0)
Ooooo! I like. Thank you for your experience!

[quote=BurghByrd][quote=Badgertale]I have used the d700 for years and moved to a d850 as I started doing outdoor photography, panoramas, and such, and thought having the d850 would be good for that. Now I'm not so sure. I'd like to get into the Nikon Z ecosystem as I have loads of glass that will work with it. I also shoot people and would like a better focusing system to track them. I know there are better ecosystems out there as far as focusing...but, again, I am heavily invested in Nikon.
Question: Aside from the megabyte count, is there all that much difference between the Z6ii and the Z7ii?
Thank you all.[/quote
I think the linked article will answer your question:
https://photographylife.com/nikon-z6-ii-vs-z7-ii
I'll add the following FYI. I think you will find the image quality of the Z7II on par with or better than the D850 using the F mount glass and in my opinion better if using the S grade Z lenses although that is not said to impugn the D850 used with a quality lens. You will find the F mount lenses to operate acceptably unless they are D series or older which will not auto focus, the G series and newer will autofocus OK using the FTZ adapter. Lastly, you will be using a menu system more to adjust settings; that can be a little frustrating at first particularly with auto focus mode. That's true for any new system, we humans don't like having the rules changed once we've mastered the game. Overall I think you'll grow to really like the new system, it has several improvements even compared to the venerable D850 which I've used and continue to hold on to although use infrequently now.[/quote]
Greatly appreciated!

A lot of responses but nobody answered your questions. I have the Z7 and I love those big raw files but I shoot a lot of stuff that requires cropping, even with a long lens. Unless you’re doing heavy cropping or printing really large prints the Z6II will be more than adequate. While I agree that getting a new mirrorless will make no difference in IQ I also understand your reasoning. Yes as some have said the D850 has slightly faster AF if you’re shooting action but the eye focus on the Z cameras is a definite advantage if you’re shooting people.

Thank you. I thought the same.
Thank you to everyone. I love my D850, D500, and D700! You all had great opinions and further questions to ask myself in the coming months. I may contact some of you privately to discuss this further.
Have a great 4th of July!

I've had great success with the Nikon ES-2 adapter. I use an off-camera flash to illuminate them.

I have a 16mp camera and am considering buying an updated version with 20mp. The new camera would cost $700. Is it worth it? I mostly look at my images on my computer but sometimes make prints.
Sure it is! I would go for it and enjoy the new technology. Save your older camera for road trips and hikes. If you have the money, waste no time as prices are fixing to skyrocket at any moment.
I really don't understand videos like this. There is absolutely Z*E*R*O point to it. Why in the heck would you do this to A*N*Y camera, cheap or not... And then to think anyone would be interested in how it shoots photos or videos? I don't get it...but I clicked on it, watched it and felt others should suffer along with me so I wouldn't be alone...LOL...
The person at this link(https://www.diyphotography.net/make-your-camera-unique-and-one-of-a-kind-by-engraving-it-like-this-photographer/) engraved his camera. Would you?
Please comment, opine, rage, troll, critique, and otherwise, really dig into this one.
