Hello everybody! I´m Cuco de Frutos.
It´s a pleasure to share photos with you.
I´m from the South of Spain, base between New York and Madrid.
my best friend Nikon D850, thinking about change her for the Z7...
Thanks

Welcome Cuco! I look forward to seeing your images!
Regarding your D850, I would only switch to Z7 if you shoot manual lenses a lot. The current Z's do not match current DSLR IQ yet having introduced noise banding, effectively lowering their usable dynamic range. I swapped my D750 for a Z6 and it is only an upgrade in terms of manual lens use, IQ overall is a step back.

Hello Cuco, welcome!
Also looking forward to your contributions!
I don't know about the Z7 but the Z6 does not feel like a step back in IQ from the d750? Interesting. If anything I have gaing a bit in high ISO and af accuracy (single). Completely agree about the manual focus.

Please define IQ.

OT, the D750 got me settled into the habit of single image HDR with it's incredible shadow retention. I quickly found out the Z6 is more limited here as patterned noise comes with the shadows, so no more single image HDR. I personally can't stand banding. I will be posting a review of the Z6 in the future that goes over this. Shadow banding aside, the Z6 does retain color much better at higher ISOs.

I mean IQ across all types of use in this case. The only areas I have seen noticeable difference between D750/Z6 is the Z6 has better color at higher ISO, but introduces noise banding in shadows. Colors can be improved in PP, but noise banding is simply a killer. So, all things considered, I prefer D750 IQ.

Under what circumstances do you encounter the noise banding. I haven't seen it yet (but my use of the Z6 may be completely different). That is the reason I am suprised by your remarks. I do agree with the colours and the very low noise. And the ease with manual lenses.

I will do a full post on it soon, don't want to continue hijacking Cuco's introduction thread.

Welcome, Cuco. I do hope you will have an enjoyable time here. I am looking forward to seeing your photos and curious to learn why you consider switching from D850 to Z7!
