Nikon Z6 III

Pros: Weight, AF, customization (buttons eg.), pre-capture, high-iso

Cons: the rotating screen, could be a litte bit "higher"

Opinion: As I don`t do any tests and just go out to take pictures, these are my very personal thoughts. I comparison to the z-6ii the AF-improvement is huge! It ist not as great as the z-9, but there we had some huge updates - so we will see ;-) I personaly prefer the tilt screen of z-6ii/z-9 over the fully rotating one. The "old" one is more durable I think and - it`s a litte bit "strange" for me to look at a screen that is not in the optical axis of the lens when shooting low level for example. Second thing is, thas the body could be a little more "higher" - my hands are rather big - but SmallRig already has the solution as with the z-6ii The big question I guess is: as a photographer (without video) is it worth to update from z-6ii? Well, if you don`t shoot wildlife&birds all the time, then I would say no. The z-6ii handles everything else in a great way and you can spend your money in lenses :-) If you love to shoot birds and other wildlife and the z-9 is too big/heavy - definitley a yes. Or, as a second & lighter body with similar af-technology.... I hope, this non-scientific thought can help someone with their descision - if there are questions, feel free to ask :-)

Nikon AF-S 500mm f/5.6 E PF ED VR

Pros: sharpness, VR, AF-speed in most situations fast enough, WEIGHT!!

Cons: AF somtimes hunts in nervous backgrounds

Opinion: for me, this lens is a dream. After times with heavy 600/4 or bulky 560/5,6 this is the lens I can take with me wherever I want - long hikes, into the mountains, or...just out of the car window. You save many seconds just taking the camera plus 500/5,6PF, instead of lifting a heavy lens out of the window while "driving by". For hide-fotography or when a TC is an option, a 500/4 or 600/4 would be the better option - af is a little faster and the heavy lenses are more "think about what you shoot" and "concentrate on the target". While the 500/5,6 is a "run around and search and have fun" lens :-) Difficult to explain, but with the 500/4 fotography feels a little bit more serious ;-)
