This puts to rest any claim that this camera is outdated.
Nikon's been very slow updating the mid-range Z, that doesn't mean these cameras are up to date.
someone at Samy's traded in a Z6 II with **12** shutter count, no box but otherwise in excellent condition.
had I done the trade-in with my D750 I could've gotten a brand new one for the same price.
ugh. might have to return the used one.
thank you for this!
For walking subject, the Z6/Z7 AF is ok. Similar to Canon R, Sony A73.
I see the Z6/Z7 at fashion weeks, not so much for major sports
probably will use the D750 trade in credit for a good Z lens, at least I am in no hurry. so far my 28-70 f/2.8 is working well with the FTZ adapter.
R8 is budget sports shooter with 80% features of R6
Both worth demo.
If you have F mount lens or a random mounts, ZF
If you have EF mount lens, R8

I think with the zf you really need to physically hold it because it's both heavy and not ergonomic.
I found the relatively small 24-70 f4s was a bit front heavy for it without a grip. Any of the grips improve ergonomics though, so it's a must if it'll be used for the longer zooms.
Nearly new Z7 can be had for a little over a 1000 on the secondary market and paying double that for a year of warranty and minor improvements isn't a great deal.
I myself use Z7, and for my landscape only use case it is still king of image quality. If autofocus is of any importance for you though, this is outdated tech in that regard.

That said, it's hard to argue that the Z5,Z6 and Z7 series (and the Z30/ZFc/Z50) aren't pretty far behind Canon and Sony in the AF department especially
I love my Z5 and Nikon makes some great lenses.... just realize that anything other than the Z8, Z9 and possibly the ZF are going to have AF challenges in some situations.
All that said, Z8 is light years ahead of the other cameras besides the Z9. I haven't used the ZF.
