If you know it’s limitations, and can live with them, then it’s worth it at the right price. For a main camera if you do professional work, is very limiting. The image quality is incredible in the studio and daytime outside. As good as the best Full Frame modern cameras. But interiors, late afternoon and night exteriors is not nearly as good, it’s below average. You cannot use iso above 400, and even at 400 you lose quite a bit of quality.
I was planning to buy a Z to replace my D as my main camera, but in the end I bought a Sony A7RIII for $2,200 (new) and 3 lenses for $1,000 Sony 28mm F2(new), Zeiss 55mm F1.8(used), and Sony 85mm F1.8(used). And the quality is a bit better than the D in studio and daylight, and lightyears better at high ISO. Plus it’s got liveview, excellent video, and the autofocus is increíble, both in stills and videos. It would have cost me about $4,000 just the Z body(used).
