All I’ll say, is that I owned the original a7 and it kinda sucked. Is Nikon going to get it right the “first” time? Or will next week's supposed announcement of the Z-series cameras begin a long cycle of trying to one up themselves while trying to keep up with the major mirrorless players?

Most people see photography as something that just involves grabbing a camera or a mobile device and shooting whatever it is we see out there, but not for me.
