Since Sony was not prepared to let me handle the camera in the field, so to speak, and no replace policy;
I bought myself a Nikon Z6 bundle plus the 50/1.8S.
Seems like meeting a friend after a few years! We both have changed. But yet deep down we are the same.
It is a Nikon, in the grand scheme of things. Why not the Z7? It will happen with the Z7 II.
My first MLC Is the Fuji X system. So I might be finding the changeover slightly awkward. But nothing too deep.
These are my opinions only. They may not matter to others, but make my shooting less fluid.
Nikon have to bring firmware upgrades fast, to make it competitive.
CFExpress support does not do it for me.
I have updated to the latest firmware.
I have only played with shooting setup. And not explored all the possibilities yet, so take these with big lumps of salt. I might be stupidly missing something and/or not understanding the proper setup. Blame me!
Blinkies! Where are they, when I need them the most, selectable of course, during shooting?
Where is my RGB histogram?
Cannot center focus point with joystick immediately. Pressing OK button removers a very important zoom in facility, for me, during shooting.
I have found a roundabout way, on the tube, to close down the aperture to actual shooting aperture, rather than F5.6. This is critical for me while shooting landscapes and zoom around to check infocus areas.
The delay timer! Same rubbish as the Fuji. Camera should be on all the time to keep it functional!
How to I backup my xqd card easily in the field to a portable ssd drive, without a intermediate iPad,laptop etc.
Many options available for ssd cards to just insert and backup.
I find the ejection of the memory card a little fidgety.
VR..superb.
Ergonomics...Excellent.
Menus...mostly familiar...very refined.
I am ok with the battery life so far. Not what I read on the net! Of course, the Df runs it to the ground!
The 2 function buttons between the lens and grip, excellent placement for my fingers.
Lock position of 24-70S..good for travel packing.
Did I mention, it feels good in the hands! Looks functional, no nonsense too.
p.s. I ain’t leaving my XP2 and X-T3. With the wr 16, 23/2 and 50/2...a brilliant light weight go anywhere kit!
