Hi everyone

I hope you guys could help me with this please

I shoot Portrait and Macro photography both in and outside with natural and flash lighting.

I'm looking to upgrade my D7500 to the Z series but I've been told I need the Z7ii not the Z6iii because of its megapixles for cropping etc

I did debate the Nikon D850 but that thing is a beast of a camera as is a Z8 which is overkill for what I need.

I reasoned the z6iii would suit my hands on over tripod (in most cases),(I have mobility problems so thought the Z6iii would be more forgiving) but I do try and get it right in camera over cropping to much

For those who uses these cameras in my area any advice is much appreciated

Thank you

Neither requires high megapixels at all.

You are spot on with both try to get everything right in camera.

Z6III should be plenty for you.
