I had a two camera day, R5 and Z 8 competing taking pictures of Hummingbirds. Both are good and the shooting is challenging regardless.

Nikon Z8,
Nikon Z 400 f 4.5
ISO 4000
F 4.5
1/4000 s

Certainly both fine cameras, and another great Hummingbird image here, Karl. Definitely, a challenging type of bird photography!

So good!

Switching from Canon 1DX to Nikon Z9 (for the Z 800mm) was a challenge for me, so I can only imagine the brain freeze from using both systems concurrently.
