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.
