It does nothing important any better than a D850

If you want mirrorless, sony FF (A7RIII on) and fuji APS-C (X-T4) on are simultaneously the best and the most cost effective

You can adapt pretty much any lens to Z7. It has a high resolution sensor with many beautiful megapickles. It really depends on the purpose but outside few niche pro applications Z7 is state of the art.

You can adapt any lens to a sony too

Just not nikon Z lenses, which is okay, because they are largely just worse versions of sony lenses, and rebrands of tamron zooms, unless you are buying a $6000 telephoto. Even canon is better.

Also, canon and sony are the only companies that support ALL their DSLR lenses with an official adapter. Nikon doesn’t.

it's kinda silly to buy anything aside from z8 or z9 unless you already have lenses. Maaabye the z5 is okay too if you're poor but i'd stay the hell way from any of the midranges when there are better alternatives.

It’s good at hi resolution
and the Z lenses are tuned for resolution sacrificing everything else
not an artsy camera
it's bad for any kind of fast scenario (you’d want canon for that)
it’s basically a niche scientific tool which is very nikon

Quoted By:

It's a Z7 II at a huge discount (around $1000 comparing used prices) if you don't mind sacrificing a few features. The biggest downside of the Z mount right now is the shallow lens pool, so consider listing out the lenses you'll want in the first 2 years on the mount and making sure they're available.

Nikon Z bodies deserve to be bought just because of good design
Also Sony sensors can't be bad
You need to cope with 2015 level of AF, but that's doable if you're not shooting sport or something like that

Nikon lens look great to me, their f mount sucks for adapting though. I bought a Sony and I wish I just gotten a Canon.

Quoted By:

I use a Z7 and a Z6 for both professional work (documentary, still life) and private projects (documentary, landscape). Both are excellent cameras that are available relatively cheap. I have yet to miss a single feature or encounter a problem and I've used then every week every since they were released.

Use the gear thread.

>he thinks sharpness is more important than bokeh
You have bokeh in nearly every other picture on full frame with 50mm+. Everyone sees the bokeh and the color cast, only you zoom in 200% to appreciate the 5 lines per milimeter improvement.

Fujifags have it right in prioritizing the character of the lens before worrying if it's soft as shit on a test chart

Z7 is legend, great camera. Z6 if you need better video or low light. Z8 if you want it all and can afford it. But yeah, the original Z7 or a D850 are both incredible values right now. If you have a bunch of F lenses already, get a D850 IMO (especially if they're AF-D).
