I agree the D850 is a super camera for normal very high-quality photography but autofocus not too good with long lenses and bird photography and is not good at all for video. I was with Eric using it with 500mm lens for a video with a wading bird walking quite slowly and it would not hold sharp focus. Sony lock-on focus is 100% better and the major reason I changed.
I agree.
I traded my D850 for my Z9.
My D500 with 200-500 is very surefooted but it was still a challenge trying to get sharp images of bee eaters in flight but I only got a couple of chances as they fly through every year in Spain when they migrate to Europe from Africa. I only had a chance to test over three years.
The Z9 is very good but I havent had a chance to test properly as I tend to use my Fujis most of the time and I dont really do much bird photography these days.
The Z7 is not as fast AF-wise as the Z9 but it is very nice to hold. The best is the Zf but it is not my landscape camera as it has 24MP. I do like the 45MP for landscapes.
Video? Is that what GenZ think are still pictures?
