Really the only big issue at the moment is the lack of native Z mount lenses from Nikon and third party. This is why i ended up going with a Sony mirrorless camera recently over Canon and Nikon. As a hobby photographer on a budget, i have zero interest in lenses that cost $2000+ like the Canon L lenses.

I didn't use my D750 for video, so the Z5's crop is not a consideration. Seldom take action shots as well; but did rent the Z5 for a week - and found that it very well met my amateur needs. The compromises are well worth $200-$400 saved, IMO.

Nikon's Z primes are also excellent. Not only is image quality excellent, but AF is great and build quality is very good. I have the 85/1.8, and it's so good it makes me angry about the years I didn't realize I was suffering with my Canon 85/1.8!
If the price difference between the Z5 and Z6 gets you a second lens, I say go with the Z5. Bodies are temporary, but your lenses are "permanent".

So it really boiled down to how the camera handled. I also picked up an RP at a local BB, and it spent less than 5 mins in my hand...
