My transition to the Nikon mirrorless Z system is now complete

With the acquisition of the Nikon Z7II camera, my transition from Nikon DSLRs and f mount glass to Nikon mirrorless Z cameras and Z Nikkor lenses is now complete. That’s not to say that I won’t purchase additional Z equipment down the road, but for now, I have a well rounded collection that should allow me to shoot just about anything.

Overall, I have been pleased with the performance of all the Z equipment I have purchased, both lenses and bodies. The one exception would be the shortened battery life, mostly related to the Z8 (that I have now sold). That’s about the only thing that I miss about DSLRs is the extended battery life.

As an event photographer, I can’t emphasize enough how valuable silent shooting has been with the Z8 and Z9 (both of these I have now sold). When photographing people at a podium, you often have to take many photos in order to get that perfect expression. Being able to do this in silence without the click clack of the shutter as in the past makes getting the perfect podium shot much easier and feeling less self conscious while shooting at 20 fps.
