They ironed out nearly all autofocus issues with the Z9. If they can bring that tech downmarket in a reasonable amount of time they will be okay IMO. The bigger problem is that the market for standalone cameras is still shrinking.
My Z50 and Z6 autofocus is pretty amazingly good. What issues do people report?
Most of the complaints I’ve seen are around the face/eye tracking. Improved in the second generation and even more so in the Z9 but still not quite on par with Sony/Canon.
Ah I don’t take pictures of people. Explained.
Where do Fuji feature in size? IMO their products are exceptional - coming from Nikon DSLRs at least.
They don't have a full-frame offering, unfortunately. So low-light performance lags behind.
[edit]: They do have medium-frame, but that's another league entirely.
Not really a huge problem imo - their bodies are superior when it comes to having manual controls close to your fingers and their glass is amazing.
Do you have experience with e.g. modern Sigma or Zeiss lenses on EF/F mount? Are their lenses comparable or better?
