Why are these cameras so heavy? They are only 100g lighter than a D500. And 200g heavier than a D5300. Whilst I wouldn't consider any of the current D series cameras too heavy ( perhaps excluding the D5), I feel we are being cheated when they are marketed as new lightweight cameras.

D500 and D5300 are APS-C cameras which have smaller sensors than Z7. But the Z7 and Z6 weigh the same (676g with battery) so it must be that there is additional electronics e.g. EVF that must weigh in pretty heavy. Certainly this is the functionality that eats the battery life.

Interesting post in DPR. https://www.dpreview.com/news/7219656533/sigma-confirms-that-its-current-lenses-are-fully-operational-on-the-nikon-z7-with-ftz-adapter Hope they have tested it all, but I doubt it!

OK the eagle has landed. Battery is charging but I have pulled my spare battery for the D850 and am using that no problem. First impressions is that it is like my XT2 but slightly larger, so in reality like a Fuji XH1. The EVF is fine for me. I will go out later and shoot some images but I am busy today with F1 GP qualifying watching and building a wardrobe. First impressions are positive but that is just a handling of the camera. The controls all fall to hand. FTZ adapter is actually much smaller than expected. Will need to test that out but not for a while as I am so busy with house stuff. One thing I dont lke is the side door cover for USB, HDMI, remote trigger/GPS connectors. I feels flimsy as it is hard rubbery plastic. I am sure it wont last long!
