Human eye dynamic range is 20 stops or 1,000,00:1.

Good LED panels can have a dynamic range of 10 stops or 1000-2000:1
This is similar for EVFs apparently.

Ability to print is even worse than LED screens with a dynamic range of 6 stops or 64-128:1

So looking at prints tends to be more pleasurable but less discerning!  This is not what people tend to consider to be the case when they are doing assessments.

Interesting and informative.

The Z series is brilliant and the Z7 has all the features of the D850 and more.  There is a 'but' though, for me the mount jump (from F mount to S mount) is a complete distraction and has been driven (IMHO) by lens designers looking for a job, rather than consumer need or desire.  I understand the design opportunities and flange distance in the Z series is less than the DSLRs but a metal ring is cheaper than all the changes to move to a S mount set of lenses.
As I said, physically too small for me, but I think Nikon could have done better with the FTZ adaptor, it doesn't need a tripod socket, which is unusable with the comical grip, a simple tube would have been better and much cheaper all round.
