I like the Z8, but I would prefer a smaller sized camera body. In your opinion do you think there is still a need, and space in the lineup for a Z7iii to come out?
Nice video, WillChaney!! I concur- I love my Z8 and lenses. I especially love: 1. Class leading dynamic range 2. Base ISO 64 3. Starlight 4. Auto focus on infinity 5. Built in intervalometer 6. Image quality and sharpness 7. Auto WB is always spot on. Anyone looking to get an all around best mirrorless camera, should def consider the Z8.
My choice was Z8 or fujifilm GFX I chose GFX ..but the Z8 IS an excellent camera Meduim format is actually more difficult to use. Image quality was my priority and i love TWO GFXs The GFX 100S II Weighs 883 grams too. I hited a z8 and while i liked the images it wasn't a massive leap from the D850 thats because the D850 is so good
Hey there, i just traded my Zf in for the Z6iii for the better ergonomics. But… though i am not a big video guy, i just need an all a rounder camera for wildlife (flying, running, and stills) and for MAINLY landscape. I am not a professional, but i like good quality images so i can print and post on social media. Will this Z6iii (even though so many people say DR is bad) would it be good for a wildlife, nature, and MAINLY landscape camera (mainly landscape)? I don’t have a big budget, just want a camera that is great for what i do
I think it’s a great fit then. I started on a Z6 and still use it as a secondary. The III still lacks a bit in autofocus to the Z8. But that won’t stop you from still getting great shots of animals. I do wish it had dedicated Bird mode in the autofocus, but Auto mode is supposed to still have it utilized. I haven’t played with one long enough to know the DR issues I keep hearing discussed. My gut says it’s probably not really as big of a deal as it’s being made out to be. Myself included like to give some of the areas of improvement or flaws in the cameras, but getting your lighting right, composition, and editing down will carry you a lot further than the camera will in a lot of circumstances. The camera is just one piece of the puzzle.
Here's my take, having owned the Z7 II and now ownig the Z8, I'd say the Z7 II is really the better camera if you're talking just landscapes. IQ is a bit better particularly if you have to shoot at higher ISOs (although this is not usually the case for most landscape photographers or shots). But when I compared my shots between the two cameras I feel that the Z7 II just has that slight edge, particularly at lower ISOs in terms of dynamic range. Now whether that really is of significance, probably not, but if I had to choose one or the other for my landscapes, I'd probably be inclined to go for my Z7 II, partially because it's also smaller and lighter and pretty much AF speed and video are irrelevant for landscapes. So if you're considering one, I'd get the Z7 II for $2300 as that's practically a steal IMO. If you shoot various genres, the Z8 may be a better option as it is a more well-rounded camera that is suited to many genres (particularly sports and wildlife) but the Z7 II I feel it's specialty IS landscapes.
That’s a great analysis. Battery life is also slightly longer on the Z7II. It only lacks in missing pixel shift shooting which is hit or miss depending on the scene. I suspect that will come with the Z7III. Great thoughts since I didn’t go very deep into talking about alternatives other than some surface level specs.

Nice review Will! Love my Z8!
Thanks!! I love mine too!
Yes, BUT…do you love your significant other more than your Z8? That’s a hard one 😂😂😂😂
