BTW ive been getting in a little tiff with the boys over at Dpreview's forum regarding AF tracking, so i decided to post image sequence bursts while tracking Metallica. i guess it worked out that i shot a shit ton of images.
check it out here. God knows how many frames are actually in it, but it shows the AF potential of the Z6.
Ah, you posted those Metallica pics? Great captures, really like them!

Some of the "boys over at Dpreview" have in the past seemed more interested in offering opinions than taking pictures or so it seemed . Those were the folks that rarely posted pics to substantiate opinion so your offering of the pudding to show the proof is probably refreshing to the ones there trying to gather facts!

I don't have a Z6 (yet), but regarding plates, I wonder if the Breakthrough Photography 40mm plate would work with FTZ adapter, I have one sitting around and always thought it might be good for a small body...
The bottom of the Z6 is 30mm deep, with the FTZ leaving a small gap of a few millimeters. This one might be a bit too large (specs say 40x38mm) to leave on the body while attaching the FTZ, I guess. Can't really say without trying, of course. But it's good to see more options emerging, so thanks for posting!
One problem might be the "lip" the Breakthrough plate has on the side where it attaches to the body, or is that removable?

yeah i noticed that. a guy literally said to me, the Metallica stage had more light than the alleyway bike tracking test on dpreview... unless i mimic the exact test that dpreview did, of a guy biking in an alleyway at 2pm, on a windy day, my tracking results dont matter.

Please post your experience with the plate once you get the Z6-thanks!!...Show more →
Hmmm, that 10mm overhang may be too much. You'd think that Nikon would have realized this before they authorized that design, that people want to have arca plates on the camera body and not want to have to swap between the two. I'm sure in a few months we'll see more Z7/Z6 with FTZ specific camera plates.

Yea, I could not leave that one alone so just left a little not contributing SA post :-)
Back to work for me,
Best to all!
Can you make auto bracketing without setting timer on?
I couldn't find how to do it, thinking that I can trigger bracketing from touch screen, but it will do only one shot at the time, until you set time up.
BTW, has anyone compared landscape results of tripod with only electronic shutter vs first curtain?

I just switch the bracketing on, release mode to continuous H or L, frame the shot, press & hold the shutter button. Not sure if you can do it without pressing the shutter.

I did this for a little chuckle and not to show camera capabilities. My subject was forever away from me up this tree so just a spec in my viewfinder. I was going to tell Mr. TurboD, maybe this is the kind of shooting the guy on DPReview does...dark alleyways and night critters :-))))
So, this is a joke for those that followed the TD post on DP. For this shot I have a flashlight in one hand, a camera in one hand, and a German Shepherd on a leash in one of those hands doing her best to pull me up the tree to get to this guy who came out to eat bird food. So please forgive the quality of post!!
I just peeked into your Metallica thread on DPR and sweet Jesus what a load of idiots. Reminds me why I had my account deactivated.

It was a misunderstanding. The guy I was debating/arguing with was Snapsy on here. And we met to make a sale on his z6 and had a long awesome conversation about cameras, I took his questioning as interrogation, and really he just wanted to know specifics. It was really quite ironic because we didn't know who each other was on dpreview until after the sale.
For those who are using Snapbridge effectively with Z7/Z6, what is the range when connected to iPhone/iPad? My wife is often wanting to see my pictures when we're out and about and I wonder if this might not be a good setup. It's been a while since I've played with Snapbridge, but it doesn't just send every jpeg over right, I have to go into preview and mark an image to send if I want it to, is that correct or have they changed some features?

you can set it to auto send every image. ive only done a quick test, but i can send from my office to the living room about 20 ft away thru walls without an issue.
"Image quality is fantastic, and it’s really only likely to be those that really desire to have a super high resolution sensor to work with that should discount the Z6 over the Z7. There are also benefits that the lower resolution brings – most notably better performance in low light and the ability to shoot at faster speeds.
Realistically, it all comes down to what kind of photographer you are. If you’re somebody who specialises in landscapes, or commercial work, the Z 7 is the obvious choice. If however, you’re somebody who does a bit of everything – landscapes, portraiture, action and so on, then the Z 6 is in all likelihood the best all-round camera on the market right now."
