I have to ask the question to myself.
Do I want this upgrade to my Z7.
Yes some of the new features will be nice to have but I would want to use the Z7ii to see if they have fixed some of the annoyances on the Z7 e.g. the need to change both release mode and exposure bracketing settings to get a full exposure range set.
However the updates are very much like the 's' updates in D2, D3 and D300 models. Non-essential for most users but a must-have if it fixes a big annoyance.
How many exposures have you taken on your Z7? It may be indicative as to whether you are getting enough use out of it to warrant an upgrade.
Since getting the D850 and reassessing my own photography 'needs and habits' I have come to the realisation that any other camera would sit on the shelf 99 times out of 100....so why buy something with that prospect? For me at least, the days of having a camera and lens for every eventuality have gone. Having a camera and lens collection that satisfies even 80% of my needs is good enough.
I have always been a minimalist. 😆. We have a saying in our house “ we much prefer it's space to it's companyâ€
When lightroom came out and enabled sorting 'by focal length', I discovered 95% of my photography was using 2 zoom lenses. So I sold the rest. It's true I have bought (and sold again) new cameras & lenses, but I have never had to re-buy a camera or lens I got rid of. So I sort of regard that as a correct action plan.
