Title: Z5II vs Z7 - which is best?

Between the Z7 and Z5II, which do you prefer for still photography and why?    Obviously, it depends upon one's style of photography, but I'm curious to hear which one works best for your type of photography.

Thanks...

I'd take a Z7 for the 36x24mm format and the ability to blur backgrounds to isolate a person from the background with a 85m ~ 135mm, f/2.8 ~ f/1.8 lens.

If landscape is your main use case then the Z7 will serve well. I just bought amZ5ii and love it to complement my Z8 for when the lights are low and size and weight matters. And AF and all other features are more advanced then on the Z7.
