      I just tried the a7IV, a7RIV, R6, GFX50Sll, Z6ll and the Z7ll few days ago when I was deciding what to buy. I loved the GFX50Sll the most but the GFX50Sll would just break my bank, especially with how expensive lenses are for that camera... The next camera I loved the most or I should say two cameras, were the Z6ll and Z7ll. Absolutely amazing, although I wish they had better Eye/Face AF, other than that I have zero complaints! I was constantly eyeballing the new a7IV because of the Eye/Face AF but I realized that I won't be needing it that much anyway, so I ended up with the Z7ll and am now waiting for it to arrive! Got a grip, two additional batteries, 35, 50 and 85 with it and I'm now debating whether or not to spend my money on the 70-200! :D! If I had went with the GFX50Sll, I would have money only for 1 lens and that's it...

      In my opinion there is currently no real reason (SD card maybe) to go for a version 2. Get a used Z 6 I. It's a steal with the newest firmware. Spend the saved money for lenses.

    I've had my Z7 since Late December 2018, I think I'd started to take the image quality for granted - These shots are incredible and totally show off the richness the Z7 brings to an image. I tend to shoot landscapes, time for me to find a nice cityscape!

    First high MP camera was the D810, then added the Z6 (gen 1) and fell in love with it, added a z7 (gen 1) and really enjoy all three now. The Z's do leave the D810 wanting sometimes, but what a great trilogy of cameras.

    First Z camera was the 7, added the 6II for the speed. Before that I got a Z50 because I wanted a cheaper camera for the motorcycle - and it has the same pixel density as the Z7. So much easier to walk around with, I get some good shots just because I have it in hand. Check for the latest firmware updates.

    Thanks Omar. Useful video which helped me decide to buy a used Z7 last month as a 2nd camera for safari to pair with my Z6ii. Intended to sell it on after, but now I'm selling the Z6ii and keeping the Z7 !! -love the detail and cropping ability of the higher pixel sensor giving more composition flexibility. After previously owning a Z6 on older firmware and 'upgrading' to a Z6ii in early '21, then going back and seeing what firmware v3.4 did to the old Z6/7 cameras AF shows me I should have stuck with original Z6. The difference in pixel count between 6 and 7 is much more useful than the AF differences between versions I (v3.4) and II (v1.4) -in my opinion. Only significant downside to Z7 over Z6 is less high ISO headroom..

    You should expose as far to the right as possible. As long as you’re not clipping any highlights, you can bring all that detail and colour in the sky back. And your shadows will be a lot cleaner as a result too. The more light hitting the sensor, (without clipping) the better.
    Great shots! :)
