Honestly, it’s an amazingly mature camera. As others have noted, shutter shock is very common and on the Z7 I just use EFC, which has no downside other than a max shutter speed of 1/200th. However, by the time you get to 1/2000th, shutter shock is no longer an issue. So as it turns out, the camera switches to ‘normal’ shutter operation and there just isn’t a problem at all!
I also shoot an A7RIII, a Hassy X1D, a Leica CL and a Phase IQ3 100 and there is absolutely no sense in which the Nikon is any less mature than any of them. In fact I’d say that out of the bunch, it might be the most mature.
The joy of shooting it with TTL and HSS on a Profoto A1, or of hiking out with it and just one really pretty damned good and light and versatile lens is pretty real. Add to the mix a Gen 3 iPad Pro and a USB C cable and you’ve got a really stellar package.
