Has anyone got any thoughts on the new Z6 from Nikon? I have read all the reviews available and they seem glowing. Thinking of treating myself...…..
Well I’ve got quite a few Nikon lenses so it made sense for me.
Has anyone got a feel of how Nikon's pricing policy works? Do you think it is at this price point for the launch and then will rise after 6 months-1year or will the price come down after that time?
I’ve seen a few YouTube comparisons recently and the Z6 is coming out on top of the A7iii in most of them, which I found surprising.
Is that taken with the kit lens?
I have a professional interest in - and 10 years experience of - watching the prices of equipment in the months after launch. And my considered opinion is..... I have no idea whatsoever.Has anyone got a feel of how Nikon's pricing policy works?

First outing with the Z6. Thus far I'm rather liking it.

Iain - I really, really like this image
Yeah continuous AF. Sometimes referred to as AF-C.Sorry for being ignorant but what is CAF? continuous auto-focus??
This seems to be a common themeZ6 is of interest for sure but there are few ‘real world’ reviews from photographers that I can see.

I know quite a few people who say they are interested in the Z6 but they rather wait till more other people review it![]()
I must be missing something here about mirrorless as
1 - I thought it was meant to be lighter, but the Z6 is slightly heavier than the D750
2 - I thought it was going to be smaller due to lenses not having to work with mirrors, but the new Nikon 50mm f1.8 is larger than the Nikon 50mm f1.8 one I have for my D750
3 - I thought it'd be cheaper or at least better value, but its close to twice the price of a D750 for no apparent benefit
Oh and its only got 1 card slot so few Pros are going to want to risk that
So what's the point?

It’s lighter than a 750.
New 50mm is (allegedly) much better than the F 1.8. Some are comparing it to Otus sharpness, but there are mixed opinions on the bokeh.
What’s the point is a question that could be asked about lots of gear many of us use.

Yes it’s big. I won’t be buying it.
35mm is more my size, but that it also big. And too expensive.
Sony is not an option for me as I have a drawer full of Nikon lenses.
