With Black Friday discounts I can get a Z8 at $400 off and a free memory card and extra battery. This is very enticing to say the least.
However, I'm trying to talk myself out of it. For one, I don't do action/fast moving object photography - ie. Birds in Flight. When I used the D500 with the 200-500mm, which I still have, I did a bit.
I now have the 180-600mm and pair it with the Z50, which works for me.
I find the Z8 a bit too large still and was considering the z7ii more for a travel camera and for wildlife - I am definitely in favor of the 45MP sensor, so I can crop and essentially have a DX body as well.
I'm hoping of course for a Z8 in a crop sensor body, but I'm not too optimistic at this point. The least is an upgraded Z7iii with better focus would fit the bill.
I'm curious to know if any Z8 owners have any regrets on the purchase, or realize that the camera isn't used to its potential, and essentially not a must upgrade Ie. As in my case don't do action/BIF and don't need fast focus.
