Ok, I will continue watching Youtube. I have learned a lot over the years with this free resourse so I will continue learning for free. Thanks everyone for your responses!

What are your thoughts on the five day photography bundle deal that they run once a year for $98

A yearly event where around eight or nine thousand old cars and trucks come to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to compete and show off their cars. Took a few shots of some passing me by today.

Sounds to me like the grip was not connected properly in the first place. That would explain the total loss of power. You indicated it was a Nikon grip, which I have used for years without incident. I also prefer bodies with built-in grips as they are less worrisome. The Z9 is awesome, and seems to be available faster now. Best of luck.
I have several cameras with battery grips and have never had a problem before but all of them have one battery in the camera and one in grip. The Z6ii has both batteries in the grip so if it gets loose or doesn’t communicate all power is lost. Just posting this as a heads up for Z camera owners. I have been shooting for over fifty years and this is my first mirrorless and has both batteries in the grip. Just thought other members might benefit from knowing this info.
Rest assured that checking to make sure the grip is tight will be the first thing I check in the future I Used it all night before at the same theater with no problems.

I have more cameras than the ones I have mentioned. It is the cameras that you have with you while shooting that you can grab and keep shooting with when needed that are the real backups

I only have my D3100 as a true DSLR, so my Backup is my Samsung S21 5G which does produce excellent photos.
I make a lot of 24x36 inch prints and some 3x5 ft so I need something capable of handling the job. The average person doesn't need as much resolution due to only making smaller prints or just viewing their work on the internet. A good cell phone is great for the vast majority of people.

It is a Nikon battery grip, and I always have two cameras with different lenses on each. I do not carry both because with the camera, grip and shooting F2.8 glass it is just waaaay to heavy to carry around. I usually have a camera bag close by with my second setup at easy reach. I will keep you updated on my Z6ii.I really think the problem was communication between the grip and camera.

Friday night I was photographing an event when my Z6ii started giving me a message about my shutter being locked and to press the shutter button to keep shooting. I did that and it would work for awhile and then the camera wouldn't come on at all. Fortunately I also had my. D810 with me as a backup and finished shooting with it. I was pretty ticked off with my Z6ii, but when I got home I started trying to figure out what the problem was. I am not going to go through the entire list of things I checked but after removing the battery grip and reconnecting it, everything worked fine. Where I was shooting was in a theater of a live performance and it was very dark at my location so I really couldn't see well enough to figure out the problem. After getting home and cooling off over being mad I found out the the battery grip must not have been communicating with the camera. I learned a long time ago not to go anywhere without a backup! If you ever have a problem with your Z camera, that has both batteries in the grip, take it off and reattach it to see if that fixes your problem. I would like to add that one battery was at 100%. and the other at 90% for those that will suggest it being a battery problem. Just wanted to share this just in case it ever happens to you!

Shot with my Nikon Z6ii and Nikon 70-200 F2.8 lens with an FTZ adapter. Getting them in a conversation puts them more at ease for photographing them! LOL

Im am trying to sell my photo, not my signature. If my photo is not good enough for someone to buy my work I can't imagine how I sign a print would prevent a sale. As of this date I have never signed a single canvas and have never been asked to. The only reason I am asking is because this show requires it.
