[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 807598, member: 48483"] Clovishound, there are some other possibilities. If the Scene modes are truly important, be aware that Nikon pretty much stopped including the feature with the last DSLR bodies and did not look back with the Z bodies. I still have my D750 and it does have the Scene setting and options on the Mode Dial, but I checked the online manual for the D780 (which replaced the D750 right as mirrorless launched) and that camera does not include the feature. So an upgrade to full-frame can be a possibility. The D750 with 24-120mm f/4 lens is a good setup. At 24mm you already have a wider field of view than the typical 18mm-whatever lens DX cameras normally have. D750 is a 24MP sensor and really could be considered the DSLR version of your Z5. Same sensor, same dual SD card setup, similar tech specs, same batteries, same accessories. Has a 2nd LCD on top that the Z5 does not have. Check for the used cameras instead of the Nikon "refurbished" because those cameras often had a reason to be returned for needing that refurbishing. And I am a former D7000 owner and that was a perfectly good camera also. So a D7200 or D7500 with the tech advances comes recommended too. These are all upgrades in features and capability over the D5600. There is less pressure for replacing lenses going this route also. [/QUOTE]
