Sure it benefits from the removal of the mirror in vibration terms but, crucially for me, it isn't any lighter than the D4 bodies I already have. An extra 160g per body is significant and, if I use my current lenses, another 100+g for FTZ II adaptors means I would be carrying an extra 500g. The other advantages just don't do anything for me, though I accept that for others they may be make or break. Got to say that I agree with all of this as I dont feel the Z9 is for me but I would like a similar specs on a lighter camera with a smaller battery. I dont do video so video is wasted on me, I seldom do anything more than the occasional CH burst and find it useful but not a must have. The killer items are smaller so like the Z7, with built in GPS, better Dynamic Range on the sensor and anything between 36-50MP is OK. More is not good! Battery if it uses the current Z7 battery then so much the better.

My wife has bought a gimbal head for her iPhone. ( she loves doing videos) There's no doubt it gives rock steady walking video plus the app has some clever tricks. But I can't see here running up and down the touch line filming soccer at her age so it's only going to be valuable if she falls over while filming.it will keep subject lock albeit at a lower angle. I have to laugh (without her seeing me of course) because she now carries more paraphernalia weight to get the iPhone working optimally than she did with her bridge camera. ðŸ¤ðŸ¤

I use the iPad mini to video - it has video stabilisation, the large screen makes composition easy and removes the desire to squint through one eye!

Get yourself a decent camera with a Passepartout. Easy solution, he carries, you shoot.

(Wallet in the other side keeping her hands free) But having a 10†metal handle poking out is apparently unacceptable. So she's had a rethink and come up with a better solution..I carry it !!! She's keeping the wallet though.

Haha that will stop you going feral with the finances. Never know what desperate things you might do after the LandRover experience. These new tech are distraction from the mundane. Still trying to get a tradesman to sort out a small but annoying leak at my other house.

Yes I do. I hope that 2022 and Covid-reduction everywhere will allow me return for a holiday.
