@turbodude - excellent shots! And AF-C works really well on the Z6. Perhaps the DPR reviewers aren't the best action photographers and just don't know to really make the most of that camera.
Wow, a video of writing down things off of a spec sheet....amazing...could have scanned the three spec sheets in 1min vs watching that for almost a half hour....

I find Jared insufferable. I can't watch him. I know it's a persona but I don't know him personally so I can only judge his persona... Lol

Don’t forget the sniff test and the wind tunnel test. What a clown.
Just an update on battery performance on the Z6. I used the Z6 and shot 723 photos at my daughter's birthday party yesterday. I had a EN-EL15a battery (not the 15b) and I still have 76% battery life remaining. The CIPA rating for the battery is silly, but I didn't know just how far off it was from real world use.

agreed, when shooting sports, i will get over 2000 shots on a single battery with more than 25% left. however thinigs drops a bit if you leave the camera on and dont shoot with it, and just have it on the ready. ive seen under 500 shots for a single battery over a 12hr shoot day of having the camera on.
I've had my Z6 for around 2.5 weeks, only have a couple hundred shots on it, but have done lots of menu diving and general looking around/testing. Still have 2 of 5 bars left on the initial full charge I did.

I used the Z6 as a remote during a college basketball game and had plenty of battery left. I think I was only down one bar for a two hour game.
I was wondering about that. How did you fire it? Is there a pocket wizard cable that works for the z?

I believe it's the D750 cable. N-MCDC2-ACC-1 Remote Camera Cable (1') for older pocketwizards. I really think they'll start becoming popular for remote cameras.

you think? what if you have to leave it up there for a day or two, i figured the battery would die. normally when i hang remotes for fights it has to go up in the lighting truss 3 days in advance.
Thank you Charles! I like this lense but lots of ca when shooting against bright light source! I think I made the right choice with the z6! It compliment the D850 quite well! The D850 is still king in low light for af! I was surprise by the difference! The Z6 was hunting more and was slower but it was with the ftz adapter!
