Interesting conclusion. I don’t disagree, the Z6 II for me is still much more reliable than the Z6 was. In fact, it was a much more pleasant experience. That being said; having swapped a Z6 for a Z8 and kept my Z6 II as a B cam, the Z6 II certainly feels a lot more dated now, it’s a shame they weren’t able to capitalise more on the dual processors for the AF. The Z6 III looks interesting but given I was able to pick up a Z8 for only marginally more during the summer it was a no brainier.

Yes the Z8 is a larger and much more expensive camera so perhaps it's expected to be better in many areas. The Z6 II is crazy cheap these days even new, for what's on offer it's still quite appealing. The Z6 III well that's a topic on it's own, but massive price difference makes it a no go for me, like you said the Z8 is a better buy for only a bit more. I'm surprised Nikon put the price up that much. They probably could get more out of the Z6 II, they've added some useful features to the camera, yet the EVF alone was much nicer to use and the other stuff is a bonus.

@@MrBazReviewsyeah I was firmly a Z6 III buyer until the cost was over the £2500 max I set myself. Just couldn’t justify it. But I could justify the Z8 as it does offer significantly more than the Z6 II and Z6 III. I‘ll pick up a used Z6 III when the prices drop but for now the Z6 II will do a good job

@@HamerReviews Only thing is some don't like is the larger DSLR sized body on the Z8, perhaps we'll get something Z7 based too. I lost interest in the Z6 III very quickly, it just has features I don't need or want, and the price increase was dramatic. I did try a Zf, and that's a bit weird in handling (lot of used ones around too seems some can't get on with it), plus having cards in the battery compartment is a royal pain.
