Thought you didn't 'do' video! LOL I think the Z6 will be a more relaxing camera to use. The Z7 (currently) has ultimate performance but for day to day photography I would consider the Z6 to be more practical, smaller file sizes, cheaper, better video(?) cheaper, and did I mention smaller file sizes... I would need a van to carry all the Gigabytes of images after I have been motor racing if I used a Z7, the faithful D3 gets them all on one 32Gb CF, with a second 32Gb CF to catch star trails on my way home!!!

We know from bitter experience that as pixel density increases, so must operator technique improve to capitalise on the sensors full potential. The lighter weight of the Z7 and Z24-70 combination have caught some off guard ...shooting too casually and getting average results. Have to say that I would be inclined to try the Z6 first....I want a camera like the D3 that is more forgiving of casual technique, when it comes to a carry round body. And, as it's not available yet, my Yorkshire wallet can stay undisturbed for a little while longer.

In this game there is ALWAYS a but! One of the main reasons I don't do video is the video is easy enough to get into the camera, the amount of work involved in processing video from rough files to finished product is disproportionate. For what? A few stills convey the message with a tenth of the processing effort and far less storage. There are occasions where stills don't convey the entire message, like the Ratty Railway video which I helped Graham with but that probably took ten times as much work and effort in the processing stage as it took to record on camera. That said I have been invited to help out at a local studio where they specialise in training budding young videographers! Watch this space... They use Macs too.

Without being too morbid, a good friend who lost his wife a few years back takes great comfort from seeing her and hearing her when he plays back some of the many years videoing he did. He doesn't sit there and just play videos but on occasions he refers back to events for other reasons he is 'taken right back' in a moment....far more than the photos around his walls. Video editing doesn't have to be that time consuming. If you are merely stringing together the footage you have, as opposed to shooting a presteuctured movie. The trouble comes with insufficient cutaway material to punctuate the 'story'. I keep drumming into Jan ...cutaway shots....cutaway shots.....even when just doing holiday footage. And she is getting quite good at it....but I am biased.
