I was surprised by the quality for this price.

My path to the Z6 was thorny. In 2022x I was choosing between Nikon and Canon. Chose Nikon. There were cameras D50, D90, D300. Overgrown with optics, but in 2022 I realized that I was taking a DSLR with me less and less, and decided to change the system to a full-frame UPC Sony, which had just announced its first A7. I sat on the Sony system for a year and sold it when I heard the prices for the announced lenses. And the system was still raw, without the famous stub and AF in the eyes. Switched to an even more compact solution from Olympus. Four years on the m4/3 were a blessing. Excellent system - not expensive, very compact, convenient. But there is one thing - no matter what Olik's ambassadors say, these are not working ISOs above 1000. The matrix is ​​​​small and noisy. And it's hard to paint a picture normally.
As a result of these throwings, I wanted to try a new product from Nikon. I bought Z6 + 24-70 / 4 The system is not without sin, it has its drawbacks (about the pros and cons above), but I'm satisfied. I recommend.
Compared to direct competitors:
Sony A7m3 - Sony has the most gorgeous AF, but prohibitively expensive and not compact native optics, inconvenient ergonomics, over-sophisticated menu.
Canon EOS R - no matrix stub (as a result, bulky and expensive lenses), weak battery, old sensor, expensive optics
﻿

Pros

About the agony of choice below, but for now, straight to the pluses: 1. Compact dimensions and weight. This is what my back needs. 2. Very comfortable ergonomics, the camera just fits in your hand (and you don’t want to let go) 3. Chic for its class lens 24-70/4 (sharp, compact, fast). 4. Excellent viewfinder. The best solution. 5. A clear roadmap for lenses 6. I was struck by the battery life. According to CIPA, this is about 330 frames, but in reality 500-1200 is quite possible. And it can be recharged via USB. 7. A huge list of optics is available through the adapter 8. From what I tried, I really liked the S = 35mm and 50mm lenses. I want to buy both. Very compact and sharp.

Cons

1. One slot for memory cards and that XQD. I don’t think that having finished the spare SD, the manufacturer would have lost much in compactness. But the photographers would say THANK YOU 2. Not the most intelligible AF, especially in tracking mode. I really hope that they will finish it with firmware. 3. In order to flash the camera, I had to buy a card reader. Why? There are not many of them on the market for XQD - expensive ones from Sony for 4-7 thousand or from Delkin for 3-4 thousand. I ended up buying for 900 on Aliexpress.
