Evidently there are a number of new Z mount adapters being offered/developed that should allow just about any lens to work with the Z mount since the short registration.
The only weakness I see with the Z7 is the autofocus (low light) isn't up to the best overall DSLR performance of the D5 and D850 which are the benchmark for pro level autofocus. With the in camera stabilization Nikon potentially "could" do pixel shift, and agree I was a little disappointed it wasn't included. I really appreciate that the Z7 behaves and has similar menus and the "buttons" in the right places like the D850 or other Nikon top end DLSRs, so I could just pick it up, turn it on, and get going without any deep dive into the manual. In fact I haven't even opened the operating manual yet!
I agree. Nikon has done a super job with a few camera home runs in a row, D700,D800/D800E, D810, D500, D850, keeping the interface familiar but constantly improving the image quality and AF without raising the price. Nikon was on quite a roll with the D series since 2007!
The D4-D4s-D5 is not in that group BTW
The D850's 3D AF is just about perfect but then on the new Z7 its a step back with the speed/accuracy and lock on interface, it seems designed for people that want to use the touch screen to lock on a subject but this isn't a phone, I need to be able to do that with my eye on the viewfinder.
The Z7 seems made for a different market than the D series I think.
