  • Also remember you'll need a Z to F converter for your existing lenses. Add around $200 to your budget for that.

    Regarding weight, you're right, with the Sigma 12-24 F2.8, the lens is so heavy, it doesn't really matter that much. It's a HEAVY build.

    If you are shooting using the screen, the experience on the new screens is much better. They're brighter, higher res, better color, and they are touchscreens. The z8 doesn't have full articulation like the z6 so thats a minor detriment.

    If you're making money from photography, my advice is to think of your camera purchase as an investment into the business. How much time will it take to pay off your new camera? What - if any - opportunity would you miss by using the D750? Is your money better spent on something else?

  • I also came from a D750 and that camera is objectively worse from a technical perspective but loved it more. Could be rose colored glasses and everything since I'm exclusively using the Z8 since I got it.

    The focus on the Z8 blew me away. The sensor is a lot more fine and low light performance feels better to me as does dynamic range. This is despite what reviews and metrics will tell you. I'm giving you a gut feel.

    The battery life is atrocious by comparison. I ran out of battery once on the D750... after a week of shooting. Now, I always leave with two batteries if I'm shooting more than half a day.

    The ergonomics are annoyingly off. The D750 was the perfect balance with the 24-120 F4S. The z with he same lens type is overall about the same weight since the body is heavier and the lens is lighter. But it FEELS heavier.

    I also miss the optical viewfinder

    So... For your use case, the z8 would be a massive upgrade and I would highly recommend it. It also has the the sensor shifting super resolution.

    If you do travel photography or need the lighter weight... I think the z6 is plenty. Even for video.

  • This was a few months ago in 2025. You can verify that by the advertised shows on display.

    I think it's contextual to me. I dont mind the crowd. New York felt human-centric everywhere else. I minded the atmosphere. Vendors selling cheap souvenirs, every brand imaginable on a billboard or in a store, celebrities peddling stuff, some religious band leading awful music, Spiderman, Elsa, a guy offering me a selection of illicit drugs because I "looked sad". Blehh
