>>4380787If you wanted to "invest", yes, because nikon's vision for Z mount is video-centric and all of their bodies after the ZF are projected to be low DR, high speed sports video cameras. This trend has been confirmed by the Z8, Z9, and Z6III.
Capitalism is based on extracting money from idiots so I predict that before 2034, the entire mirrorless market will cripple full frame cameras dynamic range to increase readout speed, stop production of crop sensors, and make the next step up from 'FF with APS-C DR' a $10,000 crop medium format.
What you have to choose from now is most likely as good as it'll get for a very long time. Do not "invest" in anything, for your own sake, or spend $2k on a prosumer camcorder just to get usable autofocus.
>>4380812Nigger, shut the fuck up. You are not epic and enlightened for pretending there is no such thing as a bad camera, only a bad photographer. Nikon's autofocus is geniuinely bad. Single point AF on nikon Z doesn't even work as well as single point AF on a nikon D750. They lost all their market share to fucking sony, and that's saying a lot. People sacrificed weather sealing and the ability to update firmware without waiting and researching to get autofocus that worked as well as a DSLR back and there's still a huge contingent of professionals still using D750s and D850s. One of my wedding photographer friends recently sold his new z6ii and Z lenses for a second D850 and a Lumix GH6 based video rig. It's that bad.
>>4381042In real life, a D750 with a 24-120 f4 VR will take sharper photos than your Z5, and actually have better stabilization than the wiggly sensor because IBIS becomes exponentially less useful as focal length increases but VR provides the same 3 stops across the zoom range.
If you desire mirrorless for portability or wundertech, the sony a6700 (dr>res and features) and canon r7 (res and features>dr) are the best cameras for your budget.
