A few garden bird photos taken with the Z7 in dx mode and Sigma 150-600mm Sport. We are still in lockdown here in the UK hence the limited scope for wildlife.

I’m not a birder, but found this guy hiding in the reeds while pretending to be one. 200-500mm f/5.6 with the Z6II.

Cold day in the north mid-continental region of the US. With the Arctic air pushed south, I woke up to -4 deg F (-20 deg w/wind). This unusually warm winter has made me soft, as I could barely handle and hour of shooting.
About two weeks ago I purchased my first Z7. I have resisted the move to 45+ megapixels since selling my D810 for a Z6. Now that the Z7 can be had for about $1500, I thought it might be time to buy one. I had been using a Z6 for landscapes and Z6II for some wildlife work. Now that I am using the Z7, I am not certain that the 24-70 f/4 is up to the resolution. While the center of the lens remains sharp, I now find the corners a tad mushy. I fear that I am going to see the same drop-off with the 14-30. Because I have the 70-200S, I know what "great" looks like... all of this has me wondering if I should be looking for one of the matching f/2.8 wide-angle zooms, go with some primes... anyway, these are image stacks shot with the 24-70mm f/4.
cheers,
bruce

Nice shot Chris... How come AK looks so warm?... When I retire, I might have to move up there to get away from the MN winters.

Haha, well, not ALL of Alaska. But SE, where I live, is remarkably temperate. We’re just up the coast a bit from Seattle, after all.
I’m not liking what the Weather Channel is telling me about Minnesota at the minute. No Sir!!

From the same walk
Now I am playing with DXO and see which I like more between C1P or DXO.

Hey Bruce, I'm following your transition to the Z bodies and lenses closely. I enjoy your photographs, as your interests seem similar to mine. It was -16(-30 windchill) in Iowa City this morning. Beautiful clear morning, but I didn't last long.

Thanks for the note Chris,
Much like you, I am watching others dip their toe in the mirrorless water as well. This weekend was a real test for the cameras. Yesterday was nothing short of brutal, but the Z7 did fine. The battery drained pretty quickly between Saturday (-12) and Sunday (-20). Saturday's shoot was about an hour long (maybe 70 minutes), and the camera became a bit sluggish w/ displaying images. The external topside LCD never faded nor did the backside LCD. However, when taking photos, there were moments when I could tell the camera had slowed down a bit. FYI, I was using the "auto mode" of the electronic shutter, and .5 to 2 sec exposures. The Z7 (purchased 3 weeks ago used) will remain as my primary landscape camera. With that in mind I am contemplating the purchase of either the 24-70 f/2.8 or 14-24 f/2.8. I am leaning toward the former because I find I use that range more than I use the latter, and my wife has the 24-70 f/4 too (we currently have two).
Regarding the the Z6II and wildlife... I find it better than the D810 was, but still not up to the responsiveness of the D500/D850. For me, this is ok, as I am an opportunistic flight photographer. My passion relates to more subtle imagery of wildlife and wildlife landscapes...
Below is one from yesterday (-20 deg F) and a a swan pic from last week.
PM me if you have any specific questions.
