I have just got back from Italy - despite the non eu status and covid, the travel was easy in both directions. 10 days of bliss with my hossie!

Not at all - return flights to Pisa from Stansted were £77 including in flight meals!

Stunning!

Maybe a bit slow to start with but the images are amazing, worth seeing it all.

Very good.  Dont buy his second hand cameras!  Mind you they are probably maintained by Nikon.

As JK said..do n`t buy those camera`s...but that video has cin¨ quality,leaving my D3s in the video dust,it`s a nice looking camera too, unfortunately it does n`t have a mirror , and now I´m wondering what the D6 is like, but not much chance getting that (D6) any time soon.

J K : Mirrorless v DSLR is like Digital v Film.  Nostalgia clouds rationaity!

I do not agree,..yet I have no arguments against it,other than that I have always been pro the Mirror solution.

Mirrorless V DSLR is nothing like Film V Digital. For a start both mirrorless and DSLR can produce the same result, a file of exactly the same resolution and size captured from the same place with the same lens (all be it with a spacer on the mirrorless body). The nearest equivalent I can come up with is a PAT* box V individual insulation resistance and continuity testers. Both methods will come up with the same result but by slightly different processes. Of course I can override the box and sign the test label anyway if I know the limitations in the same way as I can override settings with a camera.

As I have said before, what will cause the demise of the DSLR will be the lack of batteries, fortunately the Z9 uses the same battery as the D4, D5 and D6.

*PAT  = Portable Appliance Test (for electrical safety).

I was real keen on getting a Z 9. I sold my Nikon f mount bodies and most of the lenses. I have kept the 500 pf. I also sold my Z 6 and Z 7 bodies. I’m currently using a couple of Z fc bodies. One I use for birding, the other for macro. I have also moved on my Olympus gear which I was using mainly for macro.

However, the more I consider the z 9 the more I’m starting to doubt whether in fact I do want one. I used my Z6 more than my Z 7, the reason was the file sizes. For birding I have always used an APS-C body, I’m not sure if using higher MP FF sensor and cropping more will be beneficial or not.

The Z fc is by no means a replacement for the D500 I sold. For perched birds it does a great job, but like many mirrorless bodies it does suffer from not focusing or freezing, so it does tend to miss focusing on birds inflight.

I have also considered jumping ship to either Canon, or Sony, but have decided to wait and see what options will be available in 2022.

The Sony A1 is like the Z9.
I think the D500 has always been considered a very good BIF camera as the focus points cover the whole viewfinder (much better than the D850 or Z7).
I find the Z7 a very capable camera with some annoying miss outs which arent rectified in the Z7ii.  Like you cant save the drive mode to the U banks.
