Is this a good time to buy?

Legacy Value

The Z7 II (2020) is a high-resolution body whose role has effectively been taken over by the Z8. Its 45MP detail is still excellent, but the autofocus trails modern Nikon bodies.

What to do now: Best as a discounted or used high-resolution buy. If you want modern autofocus at high resolution, compare the Z8 before committing.
