"Recommend refurbished Z5."

"Go for the Z50ii!!! I have the Z50 and it is just fantastic."

"Nikon D850. It has substantially higher bit depth, dynamic range, and resolution."

"Z8 and the longest lens you can find/afford. I currently use a Z8 and 500 PF."

"If 45mp, speed, vertical option and battery capacity are at the top of your list, then Z9."

"I upgraded from D3500 to Z5 with 24-120 f4 s lens and 50 1.8 s lens and honestly i am blown away."
