Not bad for such a large cropJust sorting these out but i did a crop just for fun, its needing some AF fine tune.

What possessed you to buy a Z50?

That's what I'd be looking at.

What I do NOT like about the M6 is that there is no integrated EVF. The EVF is a slide on hot-shoe device.
Canon expects you to use the rear screen, just like a P&S or cell phone camera.
Nah, can't see it. EFS & EF will die for sure, along with all the crop DSLR'S. EF will be around for quite a while yet, EFM will take over from crop.I wonder whether the M6ii will be the last of the M bodies, or whether a M5ii (or better) will appear. I confess that I fear for the M series now the full frame bodies have started. But if anyone can sustain so many different lines, Canon can for sure. A M5ii would be nice to have a play with for sure.
Ahhhh, no they don't, or they wouldn't make the detachable EVF. Which I'm pretty sure it's a tilting model, which is a huge bonus. Plus, they give you a pop up flash, which should work as a master. The add on for the original M does anyway.
Plus, you have the EF 1-400 mk II, and little gems like the 22 pancake, 11-22 EFM, 32 f/1.4 It's taken them (Canon) quite a while to get there, but it's starting to look pretty good. Especially with the new to the mount Sigma 56 & 16.
Okay. 1-4 hundred
And you have the MANY different lens/camera coupling mechanisms of the F mount.Personally the EF / EF-S / EF-M / RF Canon thing bugs me. At least with Nikon you have the F-Mount and Z-Mount; no need for FF vs APS-C.
Function compatibility and mount are not the same, at least not to me. I get that some find it frustrating; that the electronic diaphragm and newer AF-P electronic stepper motor lenses are an issue for those with older bodies (pre 2012?).And you have the MANY different lens/camera coupling mechanisms of the F mount.
When I look at a lens, I have to consult a compatibility chart to see if that lens will work with my camera.

Believe it or not, I do know all that and actually chose to simplify my answer as to not hijack the thread. Please also note I did say "personally" and "to me".THAT is the issue I have with the Nikon marketing.
Yes, the F mount itself is the same F mount since the Nikon F of the 1960s.
BUT when a F-lens looses functionality or is NON-functional on a F-mount camera, because of the lens to camera coupling, that is a major issue. And for all practical purpose, it then becomes the same as a different mount.
So is the mount just the mechanical mount, or does it include the coupling (mechanical or electronic)?
- You cannot auto focus an AF lens on a D3xxx or D5xxx camera.
- These cameras do not have the in-body AF motor for the AF lenses, so you can only manually focus the lens.
- This is why I did NOT get a D5xxx. All my AF lenses would loose their auto-focus capability, and have to be manually focused.
- You cannot use the AI function on an AI lens on the D7500.
- The D7500 does not have the AI linkage, so you have to use stop down metering with AI lenses.
- I cannot turn off the VR on an AFP lens on my D7200, which is only 1 generation older than the current D7500.
- So I cannot turn off VR, for use on a tripod.
- You cannot focus AT ALL, with a AFP lens on an older body.
- The focus ring is "focus by wire," not mechanically linked.
- This is one of the worst incompatibility, as the lens is totally useless, in this situation.
- etc, etc.
IMHO, in Nikon's case, you cannot ignore the coupling, or you could be shooting yourself in the foot.
I like Nikon, the only reason i gave up on them was m4/3 was a lot lighter than my D500, i saw the Z50 as an opportunity to get back into Nikon without the weight.
