What I see as green with pink stripes, you may see as pink with green stripes!
From my perspective having used film SLR, DSLR, mirrorless Fuji, mirrorless Nikon there is a difference.
If I am wanting to be limited then I use poor tools and then try to get round it later.
IMHO.
If you have as your main speciality of BIF, action and sports then buy a D500.
If it is landscape, product shots, fashion, publicity and advertising get a D850
If it is studio portraits, product shots, travel, landscape, street, general walkabout then get Z7/Z6.
If you want to do everything, get a D850/D810.
Compromise is a dirty word if you are a specialist or have a specialism that requires a specific specification be it fast AF, EVF, etc....
My biggest gripe with the Z7 is the fact that they changed the lens mount. Not really an issue with the FTZ adapter.
The Z series lenses need to be expanded as fast as possible.
My biggest love in the Z7 is the FX/DX mode, EVF that shows my real exposure.
Functionality wise on the Z7 there are some niggles which may be me but I need confirmation from Nikon Tech that I am not doing something wrong.
For example:
I want U1 to be AF-S single spot, matrix metering, Single frame shooting.
I want U2 to be set up for HDR set of RAW exposures (The Nikon mode of HDR forces you to use JPG), so I want same as above but with 5frame AE bracket, shot in a burst of 5 shots so I need camera set to CL, 5 frame burst, AE bkt 5. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. Or it doesnt work for me as I need to change the single shot to CL independently. Grrrrrrr!
