I've been advised to look into the Z7 III as a travel camera since it's cheaper and lighter than the Z8.
If I go with a Nikon system, the two lenses that I want to use are the 14-30mm and the 18-400mm. This is a setup for travel and landscape photography.
With all the firmware upgrades since launch, how would you guys rate the Z7 II's AF when compared to the Z8? DPR's review states the following: "The tendency for Eye AF to slightly front-focus and the subject tracking's habit of focusing somewhere on the subject you selected, rather than tracking that precise point are the only real grumbles in terms of performance." Has this been addressed by Nikon over the years? DPR published its review back in May 2021. It's now August 2024. Is Eye AF reliable? Can I get accurate AF close to 100% of the time for slow or non-moving subjects?
I'm reading that RAW bit depth can drop down to 12-bit. What do I need to do to ensure that I always capture 14-bit RAW?
Can I shoot a seven-frame auto exposure bracket with a difference of 1 EV each? Will this always be in 14-bit RAW?
Is the Z7 II compatible with the Nikon ML-L7 Bluetooth Remote Control? Can I use the ML-L7 to wirelessly trigger the seven-frame auto exposure bracket?
Is ISO64 the sensor's native base ISO? Is this what will get me the best possible image quality and dynamic range for landscape photos?
What is the Z7 II's sensor read speed? How does it compare with the Z8?
What is the all-time lowest price you've seen at B&H? I'm currently seeing $2297.
Thank you!
