Price v performance doesn't justify it for me over the Z7. In fact, I am having a difficult time justifying the cost of a Z7, so am re-thinking the Z6 :bugeyes:If you are going to go mirrorless why not the Leica SL2 ?

Jack,It's time for me to consider the move. So who's compared both? Obviously the 7 has a more resolution, but how do they each perform relative to the other as far as color, noise and general IQ rendering? Looking at images, it appears both are highly capable (very highly). Yet they have distinct enough capabilities that perhaps a good case could be made for having one of each?
Next, which lenses? I like primes, but both the 14-30 and (both) 24-70's look like they can deliver pretty impressive results. Are the the 24, 35, 50 or 85 prime so good you consider them mandatory?
Thanks in advance, and images welcome!!!
I do not see a setting to keep the viewfinder on at all times while the camera is switched on. However, you can tape the eye sensor right above the finder. Sort of a hardware switch ... :ROTFL: The switching lag is there btw, but in my eye acceptable - no pun intended.This says it all. Very balanced and a great contribution :thumbs:
The part about the viewfinder not being always on is of great importance for me, and one of the reasons why I use Panasonic mirrorless, since it allows me to keep the EVF on at all times excepts when the camera goes to sleep. Many mirrorless cameras (I haven't tested Nikon for this) switches the viewfinder off as soon as you take the camera from your eye, and there's a delay before it switches on again. It's just a fraction of a second, but with the way I often take photos (environmental portraits and street photography in particular, sports of course), that interrupts my contact with the subject long enough for my brain to kind of "restart" the composition process. It's done to save battery life of course, but this is one of the great features of DSLR cameras: you don't have to worry about battery life. Well, almost... with my OM-1, I changed battery less than ten times in 30 years :ROTFL:
I suppose that would also switch the bothersome LCD off permanently :thumbs: :ROTFL:I do not see a setting to keep the viewfinder on at all times while the camera is switched on.

Unfortunately not with the short mirrorless flange distance which for me is one of the main attractions, together with a magnified view in the viewfinder. But I guess everybody has different needs and wants so for some it will indeed be a great camera.There's a solution to all this. It's called D780. Mirrorless technology with OVF and decent battery life :clap:
