Nikon Z6 II + Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8

Takes great pictures but at this price you wouldn't expect anything less. The problem is that the menu system is so complex and there are so many digital settings that just detracts from the actual photography. Battery life is average build quality and ergonomics are good. I spent more time playing around with settings,always wondering if the shot was "the best" and in the end I was just frustrated instead of engaged in the photographic experience. I understand that modern cameras have to be cutting edge and use the latest tech, but SLRs and DSLRs allowed fantastic photos to be taken for decades, so the tech doesn't necessarily improve the end result. Gadgetising cameras to make them function with modern tech just takes away the whole photography experience for me.

Awesome camera! More compact and lightweight than a DSLR, and it's also quicker anymore responsive to the touch. All around excellent mirrorless camera!

A great improvement in all ways over my go to D610. The focus and ergonomics are awesome.

I have been a Nikon user since 1980. Starting with an FE and moving to digital with a D5300. Not satisfied, I upgraded to a D5500 and jumped into mirror less with a Z5. A great light weight camera but then I wanted better video, faster speeds, better eye detection and better IBIS. A sale caught my attention and I now have a Z6II plus I also upgraded my Z50 to a Z50II. I wish I had bird eye detection but I can manage with using animal and shooting fast shutter speeds. Great auto focus. With my new 105 macro it is great for those close ups. I kept the kit lenses from the Z5 and have added a number of newer prime lenses.

Love my Nikon Z 6 ll. Great IBIS. Love the 2 card slots. Though more expensive the CF express are sooooo fast worth the money. Love the ergonomics. Would like bracketing button but I menu works fine. Great backup to my Z 6 lll.
