One of the things about mirrorless technology is the ability of the focus system to do that easily. If that is not something you care about in your images, that is valid. But technology is changing, and expectations along with it. I am expecting that these assisted features will make it into future Z cameras.
Currently, the Z cameras can do it too. It just means that you have to manually do much of this work yourself.
Please, please take this in the manner it was meant, and not as brand or personal flame.
Eye focus is the thing I wish the Z have or will have with future firmware. I feel like these feature missing have to have something to do with patent. I was very close to switch to Sony and I decided to go with the Z6 due to my current Nikon gear. I never tried a Sony system with speedlite (I use those all the time) so I can't compare the performance and I found this Z6 sync perfectly with my Nikon CLS, even my Flashpoint gear. If I have zero Nikon gear in my hand, I'll go with Sony as the system is pretty mature, but again, in my opinion these Z are for us Nikonians
If it's about patent, wouldn't that be Fuji's problem too?
Just my wild guess man cuz I don’t think Nikon isn’t aware that’s what consumers want at this point
I think it's pretty clear at this point (and with the many stellar contributions to this thread) that in capable hands, not having marketing gimmicks eye-AF isn't an issue with the Z6 (or Z7). I shot the Z7 for about a month in the studio, chasing around my nephew and nieces, in Oaxaca during dia de los muertos, and the only ding I'd have on it is low light AF compared to my D850 - which is something that all mirrorless cameras struggle with.
Let's keep the brand bickering outside of this thread please.
