I am quite satisfied with my existing Z7. I wish it had a second card slot a-la the Z7ii, but really don't need it. I like the idea of faster/better AF, but honestly have not run into any significant issues with the current AF in my regular useage. A 46MP sensor is plenty for me, even considering I normally shoot at the 4:5 aspect ratio and only net 38 of them -- but I'd happily accept more pixels *IF* (and only if) the color fidelity were equal or better and noise is at least equal...
First conundrum... I'm reading from a few early adopters that the Z7ii is showing better color fidelity via improved AWB, especially in skintones. Again, I have not had much of an issue here, but have had a little bit in confusing mixed indoor light -- so my first question is, does the Z7ii really do better skin than the Z7? If this is really true, it might compel me to upgrade now.
Second... The Z8/9 rumored to be coming out Fall of 2021, debut at the olympics, so about a year from now before the first ones are delivered. It is currently rumored to use the same 46MP sensor, have significantly higher framerate at 20 FPS with further improved AF, dual CFex slots (smart move, but the body dimensions are likely to swell a bit) and also higher resolution LCD and EVF. So, is it smarter still to just sit tight and wait for that camera?
