Took the Z6 on a trip to Panama (Panama City and Bocos del Toro) recently. Brought the 24-70 and accidentally took the 50 1.8 instead of the 35 1.8 - would have much rather had the 35. Did not bring the 70-200 f/4 but only missed it on a few occasions. Brought my old Fuji X-E2 mostly to use the Samyang 8.5mm FE - love that lens and might pick up the FF version for the Z6.
Overall, still really liking the Z6, and quite pleased with the 24-70 f/4.
Here is a link to a great review from a Sony user. Seems the Z line has awesome potential, especially with the upcoming lenses and firmware update. Time can only tell.
so im selling my trusty d850 for a z7 to join the family of Z's in my stable. Cant wait, the d850 size with bracket and grip is simply too much after using cameras with 30% the weight and 90% the capability.

I made a deal with the spouse - no new body for the next 18 months. Sold my D850, 14-24, 24-70 and 58. Got the Z6 with 24-70 and 50. Pre-ordered 14-30 and kept 28/105/70-200E. In 18 months I reckon it will be the 2nd gen Z time.
I really like your Panama colours.
Would you be kind to share what program and profiles you use for editing
I also like the dog picture. What AF seeing we that taken. I just picked up a z6 and would like to learn.
Thanks!

And one from back home today. I can confirm that the 70-200 f/4 focuses well with the FTZ on the Z6 .....
Rented a Z6 for the weekend to give it a go. Was impressed by the viewfinder and the VR, and LOVED the soft shutter noise.
I did not enjoy the startup time on the camera in comparison to my D750 or the A7 III when I had it. The baffling way 3D tracking AF works does not suite my shooting either.
Had some issues with ergonomics, the front dial is too recessed and I really miss having an exposure button on top (I know it's programmable) Will stick to my D750 for now, waiting for Z generation 2 before purchasing.
For the first one I use afs with pinpoint af. I use afs single point to move my af point faster and when I'm pretty much where I want I switch to pinpoint for ultimate accuracy. Moving the af point when in pinpoint mode.is dreadfully slow. I wish there was an option.to.speed it up. For the wolf action I choose afc single.

What settings are you using in the camera?
So what is the disadavantage to having the d8 option set to off? I searched the internet to find something that talks about shooting a Z6/z7 with pocket wizard/strobes
