I recently jumped on the Nikon mirrorless bandwagon after a long period of deliberating between either upgrading my aging but faithful A7r2 or going into a new (kind of) system.

This is a live post and I will continue to add my initial observations and experiences with the camera and the accompanying 24-70mm f/4 S series lens.

Conducted a completely non-scientific “sitting in the living room” test of the in body image stabilization of the Z6 body. Basically setting the camera in Manual mode and slowly dropping the shutter speed, I let the auto ISO compensate for the exposure value. Metering is set to center weighted due to bright background. Focus mode was AF-C.

At each setting I took about 5 shots and presenting the best ones here. Success was about  75% at shutter speeds slower than 1/15s. This can be improved with better shooting posture that the heavy 200mm f/2 demands.
