Thank you very much for your generous comments, cohenfive.
The focus speed is very good. The little Wrens in the above set were flitting about very quickly and the Z7II focused quickly and I was able to grab them 90% of the time. I don't think my D500 or D850 would have faired any better. I generally just use a Single Point or Dynamic Area AF depending on the size of the bird or whether there is time to get it on the eye with Single Point. If it is a BIF, I will go for one of the wide AF modes or tracking but I don't do all that much BIF. The screen black out is much better as is the general wake up from sleep and it just feels quicker to do things, response is much better across the board.
Thanks Lance. I'll let her know. I may get one of these bodies when they become more readily available. I'm most interested in how they do for bif, max fps under what conditions, and using the tracking and/or wide area af for focusing.
It's still not up to D500/D850 for BIF but it is definitely better than the Z7. However, I will have to do more testing on BIF to see how much better it is.
