    I just tried the a7IV, a7RIV, R6, GFX50Sll, Z6ll and the Z7ll few days ago when I was deciding what to buy. I loved the GFX50Sll the most but the GFX50Sll would just break my bank, especially with how expensive lenses are for that camera... The next camera I loved the most or I should say two cameras, were the Z6ll and Z7ll. Absolutely amazing, although I wish they had better Eye/Face AF, other than that I have zero complaints! I was constantly eyeballing the new a7IV because of the Eye/Face AF but I realized that I won't be needing it that much anyway, so I ended up with the Z7ll and am now waiting for it to arrive! Got a grip, two additional batteries, 35, 50 and 85 with it and I'm now debating whether or not to spend my money on the 70-200! :D! If I had went with the GFX50Sll, I would have money only for 1 lens and that's it...

  • @ronboe6325

    First Z camera was the 7, added the 6II for the speed. Before that I got a Z50 because I wanted a cheaper camera for the motorcycle - and it has the same pixel density as the Z7. So much easier to walk around with, I get some good shots just because I have it in hand. Check for the latest firmware updates.

I've always wanted to get up on the hill overlooking the river on the NJ side. Some very cool buildings up there too. Never made it to Pier 13 last visit. We did make the walk down the river walk as far as the sports field/track. Most of our time was spent on the NYC side of the river that weekend. Love taking the ferry across at Point Royal. Hoping spring comes early this year so I can get over there in some warmer temps though! Have a great weekend. Looks like we're in for some white stuff... :-)

    Thanks Omar. Useful video which helped me decide to buy a used Z7 last month as a 2nd camera for safari to pair with my Z6ii. Intended to sell it on after, but now I'm selling the Z6ii and keeping the Z7 !! -love the detail and cropping ability of the higher pixel sensor giving more composition flexibility. After previously owning a Z6 on older firmware and 'upgrading' to a Z6ii in early '21, then going back and seeing what firmware v3.4 did to the old Z6/7 cameras AF shows me I should have stuck with original Z6. The difference in pixel count between 6 and 7 is much more useful than the AF differences between versions I (v3.4) and II (v1.4) -in my opinion. Only significant downside to Z7 over Z6 is less high ISO headroom..
