I find it interesting that while you say the Z6 ll is not a great choice for action/wildlife photography, the majority of the sample photos are just that; and most of those look pretty darn good! Any comments on that?

The Z6 II is the King of low light photography. I’m doing a lot of concerts and festivals, and that little magic camera coupled to dxo photolab never let me down.

Nasim, thank you for yor excellent review. May I ask a question. How fast and convenient is the Z6 II in AF-S and AF-C (Dynamic Area) modes compared to competition? I mean catching fast moving or fast changing objects provided the photographer is up to that task.

Thank you for this comprehensive review Nasim… Bought this camera after read this review. Last week tried to take stage photography combined with Z40mmf2 and AFS70-200vrii. Got 700 shots for a single battery. And less than 3% missed focus. Not bad for an amateur…

I bought the Z6ii as an addition to the Z5 when the price dropped to the deepest level ever in my country. I am a people photographer, and I find that AF eye tracking is better (longer distance, maintains focus longer when head is turning) than on Z5, but not to a large extent. Since the firmware update, the eye tracking on the Z5 is remarkably good. A great advantage of having two bodies now is to be able to switch body/lens combination instead of changing lenses. I use 40mm/50mm on one body, 85mm/105mm on the other.

Nasim, privet — still considering buying either used Z6 or Z6II – do you think it’s worth going straight to Z6II?
Any robust comparisons of autofocus? Competitors at same price point are Sony A7iii, Sony A7C, not Canon R6 (50% more to buy, but lots of comparisons elsewhere)

Nasim, just bought a Z6II and while very happy with the camera I did run into a potential deal breaker for me: no H(extended) drive shooting with Flicker Reduction. I bought this to help shoot boxing and basketball this winter and was looking for a mirrorless companion for my D850 with a slightly higher frame rate (contact shots in boxing are hard to time I don’t care who you are), but got very frustrated the other evening trying to shoot a night game at my local high school with all the banding. I did get some better results fiddling with the shutter speed to time the Hz of the lights, but it didn’t work terribly well either. So I guess the question is, to your knowledge has this been addressed in the Z9 and do you think a fix will make its way down to the Z6II and Z7II via firmware update? Thanks.
