I (almost) never print, the advantage of the extra pixels would be the ability to crop significantly and still end with usable shots. Once I go full frame the plan would be to sell the old kit. A couple of my lenses indeed come from the d7000 days! The 50mm/1.8 IIRC.

Aiming for black Friday! No rush. Let's see what the new owners report from the field over the next few months. The new z6 certainly looks solid, like the d500 in its day.

Yes, I am a DX refugee. The D500 served me very well all these years but I feel it's time to go full frame. This third gen from Nikon will probably be the one I will go for. I have used DX since the d90 days. I thought the next gen will give me not only the new tech and full frame but also in step up in pixels. I do tend to take a lot of urban pics. To your point I was also hoping for a truly compact/lightweight prosumer full frame mirrorless from Nikon.

Starting to wonder if it's time to update my gear. D500 hold out here. Does Z6iii fit? What I keep wondering about is whether 24mpx is enough. Shall I wait for a z7iii or not, is it worth it.

 

Any recos for a starting kit (budget: ~500), HF/VLF/UHF, looking forward to eventually get my permit and transmit ad well? Linux-only desktop user

Based on readings so far RTL SDR kits with ham it up do not seem to fare anywhere as well as anyspy or sdr play. Wondering between these two which is the better iption and why, and is there a more modern alternative?

In the future I would also like to experiment on higher bands (Bluetooth/wifi/lte/5g), for that perhaps RTL could be an option?
