I want everyone to know how much I appreciate your advise. I now have some things to ponder. I'm going to keep what I have and make a plan on moving forward with my feet planted firmly on the ground, so to speak. I knew you'd help me get on the right path.

thank you for reminding me about the initial posting. I will take your advise and chill.

I hadn't thought about the legacy glass. I guess I was being very narrow minded and a bit panicky. They are outstanding lenses. I remember when Nikon first released the Z cameras they actually included the adapter at no charge. I imagine it was a way for them to encourage users of the FF cameras to make the switch to mirrorless without having to sacrifice the customer's lens collection. I am so glad you mentioned this. Many, many thanks

That's right. I think they said only if it "compliments" their lens line up. Thank you for your comment.

I purchased a Nikon Z6II and a Nikkor lens about a month ago. I just learned that Nikon will not be permitting Z lenses to be made by third-party vendors (i.e. tamron, sigma, et al). I know Nikon makes great glass, but they are expensive, as everyone knows. So now I'm faced with keeping the Nikon or returning it for what was my close 2nd choice, a Sony a7iii. As some one here on UHH mentioned to me, there are a great many 3rd party Sony lenses. While I realize I could purchase the Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ II, it is $250.00 on top of the cost of whatever lenses I might buy. You may also sacrifice some lens functions with the when using other lenses with the adapter. I don't have a big budget for extra glass. I shoot pretty much everything, regardless of its nature (i.e. landscape, portrait, fast moving subjects and so on). I'm pressed for time so I need you input ASAP. Please, please no lectures, just advice. Many, many thanks.

that may be a little tricky to pull off for under $1K. You could probably get buy with an Intel i5 or an AMD Ryzen 5. Don't be afraid of AMD processors unless the program specifically calls for Intel. AMD processors are less expensive and go toe to toe with Intel. A minimum of 12GB of RAM/Memory. Then I would not recommend anything less than a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card or its equal. I work at Best Buy and primarily in computers and DI and this is what I'd recommend. You will not need more than 512GB of hard drive if even that much. This will depend on where you save your work to (i.e. cloud, external hard drive, or the computer hard drive). Best of luck

You have picked an awesome camera. As you may, or may not know the a7iv has the same processor in it as the A1. I just made the transition from shooting a Nikon D 60 to the Z6ii. It’s a great camera and with it I bought a 24 to 120mm f4 lens. I was considering also purchasing, an a7iii. The reason I went with the Nikon is because I am very familiar with the layout of their menus. I am very satisfied with the upgrade I made. The only problem I have is with the SnapBridge application. As you probably know this allows you to use the camera to transfer pictures. On your mobile device, that same option allows you to view the picture at the same time and allows you to use that program as an automatic shutter release without having to buy anything else. Despite the advantages it can be a difficult option to work with the bottom line is no matter which way you turn you’ll be buying a great product. The best of luck. Remember, it’s all about the glass.

I'm ready to make the switch to mirrorless after using a Nikon D60 since it's release in 2008. I have only the kit lens. I've narrowed it down to a Nikon Z6II and a Sony a7III. I will be using it for general photography (landscape, action shots and portrait). Just can't seem to make up my mind. I've relied on the opinion of all that contribute to this forum. I could use all the input I can get. I would also value any advise about alternate recommendations.
I look forward to your replies.

I was fortunate enough to have someone built one for me pre-pandemic, so it was easy to get parts. Turned out to be much cheaper than buying one. Best of luck.

I use primidone and propanalol. Helps some, but is still very frustrating.

As it so happens, I also have ET. I find if I want to shoot at a slower speed, I'll increase the ISO just a might. I have a Nikon D60, which is very old (3fps), so I can't crank up the ISO too much. I always keep my tripod near by. I wish her the best.
