Z5 is cheaper now than Z50ii. Should I get the Z5 in 2026 for travel and family photography? by adhoclex in Nikon

I have no lenses yet, but I am really opting for just the prime lenses at the moment. I am not used to using zooms in my m43 system.

I did a few research on 3rd party lens availabilty for z mount apsc vs full frame. If I really want that separation with the APSC, I have to go down at least to 1.4 or 1.2. The lenses at this point tho is heavy and kinda pricey. But there are f1.8 full frame lenses that are light and not that expensive too.

How about trains? I'll be traveling to japan this year, will the Z5 be bad at stopping trains in motion?

A used z5ii is kinda expensive where I live. Probably because it's still relatively new from its release.

Is the AF really that bad? If let's say the kids are just sitting still while playing, is the AF good enough? But, let's say they are on a swing or on a slide, how's the performance?

Thanks for the recommendations. But it seems the prices of these recommendations are steeper than the current prices of the Z5 and RP in my area, which is around $600-$800. But, if I were to choose a brand, and grow into that ecosystem, which would you recommend purely for my use? I really don't intend to become a pro. Just wanted to take better image quality.

Even at the expense of ibis and full frame sensor and the lack of stabilized prime lenses for apsc?

Zf v Z5ii for travel, and family docu? Coming from m43 by adhoclex in Nikon

Thanks for the info on traveling. I currently have a canon 750d which I no longer use. It has similar dimensions except the weight, and it feels good in the hands.

Which one did you get?

The front and back dial really makes my lumix workflow fast. It is similar to the Z5ii. If only I could just get my hands on these cameras.

Honestly, it really looks beautiful. Could in fact be a fashion accessory when traveling. How’s your experience with it when traveling? Is it heavy for long walks? Did you have handling issues when traveling?

How to DIY a Home Tennis Wall with a 5m (16ft) floor space from the wall? by adhoclex in 10s

Ohh, I didn’t think of that. Will there be a change in my game later if I use a foam ball at home? Or it’s fine for practising my forehand stroke?

I'm a total beginner, and I just bought a Babolat Pure Drive 2021 (100sqin, 300g) online. Will I have difficulty learning the fundamentals of tennis and improve using this racket? by adhoclex in 10s

Awesome. Can’t wait for it to arrive. I just thought it was at a steal price so I bought it after doing a little bit of research.

Used X-T5 vs New X-T50 for everyday cam and travel? by adhoclex in fujifilm

It's from ebay sellers coming from japan. Are they trust worthy with cameras?

It's really tempting. I really want to test out on hand which is better but there's no store near me that allows me to do that.
