Let me start my post by claiming that I am not a Professional shooter, but I’ve shot for money once upon a time. Now just for fun. I am also closing in on 75, so weight (and time) are becoming harder for me to deal with. I have been wanting a camera for shooting wildlife during those morning “just getting light” and “almost too dark to shoot” dusk lighting. I have been researching the internet, watching YouTube and the many blogs and forums available for research. I have some nice cameras (D850, D810, D500 and Z7) but although they take great photos, they just don’t seem adequate for those “not enough light to shoot” times at dawn and dusk. You know, when the critters are moving around.
What I have been able to determine (and afford) is a choice between a used D5 or a new Z6II. What I have not been able to determine is the Z6II that much better at low light than my Z7?? I want to stay with Nikon, not Sony or canon. I keep consider the D5 but I am uncomfortable with buying an ebay bargain for under $3000 which is my spending limit. I have been bamboozled before with ebay purchases so now I’m leery. Looking for advice, D5, Z6ii, or just keep shooting what I already have.
