. I'm very impatient!
I’ve not yet used it often enough to make a firm opinion, but first results are very promising. I’ve seen a bit of purple fringing at the very corners in strong light, but I really had to pixel-peep at 200% to find it. I’m very pleased with the “bokeh” and lack of hunting.
I understand where you're coming from Phil. I ordered mine online on a Friday evening and had to wait until the Monday for delivery. So over the weekend me and a mate went to various camera outlets just to get our hands on one and that was where I was told by the salesman that the 'Z6 had IBS' LOL and I replied with 'My mum had that' which brought a quizzical look from the salesman, until he realised what he said LOLMy replacement Z6 for the one that arrived faulty is sitting in a TNT depot 20 miles from me having arrived there at 7am this morning. And Monday is a bank holiday here in Northern Ireland so I don't get it until Tuesday
For some bizarre reason, the photo of the beached trawler has just made Explore in Flickr. Don’t know what that says about the lens!And a couple more with the 24-200 at Morecambe.

No fair enough. The new Z 20mm is near enough double that, isn't it? I have enough kit atm tbh, but I think were I to be buying any new stuffs, then I'd be struggling to look past the Z lenses, because right now, I think it's more prudent of me to add to the newer system. My next cam will most likely be a Z cam rather than a F mount DSLR. If the Z lenses are going to be consistently better than their F mont counterparts, as we've already seen with just a few offerings so far, then that's the direction I'll be going in.
The top display is very limited in what it shows. As far as I know, and I am open to correction, there is little if anything you can customise. Unfortunately.
Thanks Stephen, I think I was spoilt for choice when I had the X-H1
I too came from an X-H1. A good move, I think. Though had the X-T4 been available at the time, it might have been a different story ...
Loved the X-H1, but I just found it impossible to get reliable results filling the frame in portrait mode with the restrictions of the AF area. I'd be interested to try the X-T4 but that being said, it's probably a camera for good light. I found my D750 beat my X-H1 hands down when it came to low light performance, albeit the capability to shoot extremely low shutter speeds did help but not for moving subjects.
But there's an indicator in the rear screen, and in the viewfinder? I don't really understand the issue here?
It's just muscle memory, I just need to spend some time and get used to where things are on the Z6
I have that with the ISO button, when going back to my D600. It's in a much better place, imo, on the Z6. As for changing fups; I couldn't even work out how to do it, when I peeked at the Z6 just now.It's just muscle memory, I just need to spend some time and get used to where things are on the Z6
Normally I would adjust settings while viewing the top screen you see - I need to be looking at the rear screen / through the viewfinder while changing the settings which will take a little getting used to
I don't use continuous modes very often...
I've mapped metering to the exact same button!! I have to get used to the metering too as I'm finding things like highlight protection / weighted metering is bringing the output a lot closer to the right than on the D750. Perhaps they have tweaked how it's calculated. I too very rarely change my fps, although I do have it in Continous permanently, just on the off chance. I seem to be able to get just one exposure ok even in continuousI have that with the ISO button, when going back to my D600. It's in a much better place, imo, on the Z6.

Huh! I often find it difficult getting just a single exposure on S! It seems to be a very delicate button - unless I twitch even more than I thought!
I just press it down and release quickly and it take just one photo
. I used to be a piano player so that might be why I don't find it difficult. I have it set to H, and not H+
I do cos currently, I can't import other than using the little USB card reader thingy. None of my computers work with the USB 3 cable. But tbh; I've always removed the SD cards from my D600 every time I want to import and that's suffered no ill effects. Given that the XQD system is a lot tougher, I wouldn't imagine there would be any major issues; it's designed to be swapped in and out, in demanding conditions. That's why it's on the D5/D6, pro level cams etc.
I’ve always removed the memory card in every digital camera I’ve owned, with no ill effects.
I always remove the card and connect the card to the computer. I'd have thought the rubber flap for the USB port on the camera is much more likely to wear/fail than the card slot 'door'.
will need to try that shot with my cats
Our new neighbours have the maddest looking cat; like a real-life, but much scarier, Garfield. It has the most incredible orange eyes. I've been given the green light to take some pics, so will be interested to see how the Animal AF function works.
What have you moved to? Why do you miss it?

Darn, that's some GAS right there..... I have my little X100V to keep me going for now.... I made the wise move of selling all my Sony gear and sticking it all into Tesla stocks! So I am skint now.... no more money for camera gear which I don't really need.
Maybe it's just a lack of love for Fuji rather than it being a full frame thing?

How about the new Canon R5?
