Yeah but the lack of a viewfinder is a large part of what makes it so small. You can’t have everything, a huge very bright screen plus a viewfinder would make it bigger than a Z8. The Nikon designers got it right imo. I’ve been shooting in very bright sunlight for a week without issues. I’ve...

It would look smoother when panning or on moving subjects.

No chance don’t even try it. You need the Pro model but even then I’d never put a 70-200 on a gimbal

You’re asking too much. Sony IBIS and most other makes isn’t great in video, Panasonic are miles ahead. It’s a 70-200 @ 135mm, challenging. You’d need a high end gimbal with strong motors for a 70-200. Try using crop mode @85mm first and compare results.

Panasonic don’t own up to their mistakes, ask anyone that’s bought the S5 II or S5 IIX about the faulty mic inputs that leave a video orientated camera unusable to record clean sound. It’s an inherent design fault with no remedy offered.

Which grey dealer did you get it from ?

You might want to check out my ad in the classifieds.

Memory prices are rising rapidly. I have some CF Express B cards in the classifieds.

I've got a hardly used decent 512GB CFB in the classifieds at a good price and an unused 1TB.

I'm surprised that the world's leading authority on this subject hasn't shown up on this thread, where are you ? @trevorbray

Norwich WEX are awful, they won't let you touch anything, i'm being serious, not even a lens from an unsealed box. Putney branch is pretty good. LCE on the other hand are super helpful at every branch i've been to.

Totally different beasts, 61Mp vs 24Mp for a start. Crappy EVF and screen on the Sony but it has the EVF. Crappy build quality on the Sony. IMO a better option if someone wants more resolution would be a Fuji X-T5, 40Mp, nice EVF and Screen. I just think Sony bodies are awful, as I say I...

Why would they make an add on EVF ? It would be costly to develop and probably about £350 to buy, utterly pointless. Z5II 620g ZR 540g EVF accessory ?
