Second post from a newbie who's been away from photography since 35mm days except for now playing with a Canon 400d for the last few weeks and trying to get into the digital processing malarkey.
I've read and maybe over read articles on various camera reviews. I've only been able to handle a couple of Canon and Nikon models because there is only one retailer available to me but I'm about to take the plunge and buy. I've handled the Canon R7, Nikon Z50 and Zfc and thought them to be a little small and even a little fragile in feel. The Nikon Z6 ii or Z5 are, to me, a little more 'chunky' or robust in build and sit better in my grip. The Zf appeals as it's a reminder of my old black Nikon F but is probably just beyond the budget unless it is recommended/worthwhile to settle for a prime lens like the 40mm.
I'm lucky to have a budget to cover the cost (retirement/birthday a good 'boss') along with an initial, 'kit' lens. So advice, please, am I going the right way in bypassing DSLRs like the Nikon D7500 and going into full frame? If so, can anyone recommend or advise on a camera and 'kit' lens e.g. the Z 24-120 F/4 S, the Z 24-70 F/4 S or Z 24-200 F/4 VR among others, as a starter?
