    10-bit 4:2:2, H.265, STD/HLG/N-LOG to internal memory card along with a suite of video specific features like anamorphic de squeeze preview, load/save LUT's and apply previews, etc., would make this camera absolute perfection. Atomos only barely supports Nikon Z camera's. 4k30 and 1080p60 only, regardless of Ninja V or V+. That's really not good enough.

    Although Nikon Z6iii is coming soon this year in 2024, the Nikon Z6ii (mark 2) is still a great camera, and it will be a lower priced body compared to the Z6iii rumored to come out around $2500 to $2900 USD for the body to start as it will be a great hybrid with slightly larger body. Z6ii body will be at least $500 to $800 less in cost. So it depends on the budget and a photographers needs which one to get. For shooters who do a lot of video the newer model with have advanced specs in video and AF. That said, Z6ii is still a good buy for photo shooters and professional video at a great price.

At the moment I have a Nikon D750 with which I do some product photography and more recently I go to events. I was thinking about the days that some say it's good, others say it's not worth it. I would like to know what you would guide me to among the 3 cameras. Thank you very much and I wish you a good day.

    I have been using Z6II for events (weddings, indoor and outdoor parties) and it works well. Z6II may struggle a bid in low light situations but nothing terrible. Z7 will have the same megapixles count as Z8, but it will function more like Z6II. Z8 will outperform all these cameras. D850 while an excellent camera and now you can defiantly get it cheaper, is a great deal, but older technology. However, many consider D850, the best DSLR of all times. Much comes down to your budget and how important is the new tech in the Z cameras. D850 I would say is better build and more “professional” than Z6II or Z7, but all cameras can deliver professional results.

Just keep that in mind. But to be honest, depending on your needs for dual recording, this is not something that many videographers do. The event must be very critical to ensure that you have redundancy in recording. If you record on CFExpress card from a reputable manufacturer, these are solid cards and likelihood that those fail is small. I suggest rather having another camera which would provide second or thirds angle, this will have more value than just dual recording. Hope these suggestions help. Best regards.

Taking into account that a camera is going to accompany us for at least the next decade while Panasonic S5II with the L mount is out there at 2.200 euros body, and Sony A7 IV at 2700 euros? The L mount has few so few lenses and the taxes are devastating. But the price for the same quality is comperable to E mount.. at least in Europe. So what do you think? Nikon Z6ii at 1500 for the next decade or it is NOT that future proof ???

    Much depends on your use case. It’s not a sports/wildlife camera. If you are using for portrait shoots, some video work, some landscape work (Z7II) than z6II is certainly a great value compare to other brands. I use it for weddings, portraits and it produces great images, color sience, good Eye AF for portraits. It might slightly struggle for event photography indoors (not outdoors) but if you know how to use camera and it’s settings, this is a phenomenal camera even 2.5 years later after release plus the price drop. Also, all Z lenses are awesome and can be well used with f-mount lenses and FTZ adapter. Hope this helps in your decision making.
