I do not think the change is worth. I do think it's slightly still better the 850.. If you want to change, it's worth changing for a Nikon Z8 (or Z9 or a new Z6 III, if you don't necessarily need 45 MP), not for sure for a Z7 II, in my humble opinion. Cheers! D.
There are some wonderful images in this video. In the past couple of years, I switched from owning both the D850 and Z7ii to now owning the Z8 and Z9. I can't disagree with any of your comments. I think that for the landscape photographer, both the D850 and Z7ii are wonderful cameras. While I shoot quite of bit of landscapes, I shoot far more conformation dog show events. That's what drove me to the Z8 and Z9; the higher fps, the wonderful Z lenses, and the quietness. It's the latter quality, the quietness, that finally took me from the D850 to the Z9. If you put a Nikon battery grip on the D850, it improves your fps to 9 versus 7fps as you mentioned in the video. The problem is it's very loud and I found too many animals disturbed by the noise of the flapping shutter/mirror mechanism. I'm one of the apparently few that hope that Nikon brings out a Z7iii. Yes, the D850 (and Z8) are much more robust and professional feeling, but a Z7iii with higher fps, better autofocus, and an Z6iii-type EVF would be wonderful for hiking and travel.
Thanks for watching John and the feedback.
Surprised there was no mention of Z-Mount glass. For me this was the best reason to ditch F-Mount. Even the kit 24-70mm f/4 S-line is outstandingly sharp but almost all Z-Mount glass is stunning.
Hi Alan, I mentioned the Z lenses at 18:20 and I totally agree with you - the Z mount lenses are incredibly sharp and I think for me the perfect combination would be the Z8 with Z mount lenses.
Loved the first image Andy, something to see everywhere in the photo. love the video's 👍
Thanks Martin.
When I bought the Z9 I sold my Z7uu but still kept my D850 ... 🦘
I think I would keep my D850 when I do finally switch.
