@ebene…. It’s good question, and as fellow who worked in photo-retail for most of my life I’m saying, you need to ask yourself a few questions. The first of which is budget and the second is intent and the third would be environment ie family, work sport, and so on. That said, all cameras can do just about anything you need however some (to quote Animal Farm) some are more equal than others. Let’s start with what you do know: what’s your background in photography? what cameras have you owned in the past? What plans to you have such as family holidays or photo-tours such as Iceland or Japan or Africa? Which photographers are you aware of, Cartier Bresson, Ralph Gibson, Ho Fan or…. ? So, over to you?
I am in Africa and I don't know specific photographers. I used to have those film cameras back in the day. Then owned a Kodak one, A Sony and now currently have the M50.
Depending on your budget and relationship to bulk and heft of a photographic device, the Z9, the Z8, or the Zf. The Z9 would be the bulkiest, the heaviest, and the most expensive; the Zf, the smallest, the least bulky, and the least expensive. For weddings and wildlife, all three should serve you well. However, the best performance for wildlife and weddings would be the Z9 and the Z8. These two would be the fastest, and they offer 45 MP images, important if you were to crop in a bit for detailed wildlife shots. With the right techniques and workarounds, the Zf would be more than enough for weddings and wildlife as well. For your first Nikon, perhaps either the Z8 or the Zf, with budget probably leaning more towards the Zf. With the money saved on the Zf, you could invest in more Z-mount lenses.
Very informative, thank you 😊
Wow! Cannot believe a just only now found this series! We use Nikon for all our work.
I have never used a Nikon before I think its about time I give you guys a try. Which camera should I start with?
