My first impressions are.. I dunno!
ITs properly put together. Has most things (like SDI and HDMI) and they work with intelligent options LUT or not, et al.
Raw is clearly bit scary as it is some evil data rate.
What the files do im not sure.. basically they dont seem flexi like a nikon NEF (still) in Capture One.. but are a level of solid that the sony (fs7k410bit) files are not.
Its a bit of a lump (high mass) and not perfect to hold as the EVF is both too small for hand holding and also big enough to be annoying.
I guess a 200b and a $2-5k evf would be better
It does go into my Billingham.. which is a bit of a dream to be able to take one bag to an event and be shooting 12bit. The FS7 never went in that bag once built to a usable state.
I got the 15-85 lens which is proper wide enough to do reportage like jump in a car with your subject and macro to fill the frame with the lenscap. That is pleasing. Ill get a 70-200F4 which gives a really decent reach and will go in my billingham.

Im feeling this..
Keep a photo kit being my D600, D3 and nikkor AFd lenses that dont work with the Z6 - basically - im mr pimped photo kit man of 2005. 20-35, 50, 70- 200 400 nikon D3. This is for photo commissions.
Keep MF nikkors for use on anything. This is for general cinematography and timplases.
Canon C200 - buy more canon AF glass, see how the R/EF thing shakes down in time - this is for corporate and news mainly on my Movi Pro
Buy a canon that can be af Bcam and my walkabout camera.. maybe rp or M50ii this is for corporate and going to the park with the missus.
FS7.. works with nikkors and booster. It is a great Bcam off the gimbal. Can go in my mirror box (auto cue) theoreticall it could be sold but Im thinking its worth nothing and potentially useful.
EX1.. its still a bts camera of some note.
Today we got (I think) a gig livestreaming a festival in the summer. Those sony NDs will eat 'DSLRs' for lock off cams especially as I have vlocks to keep them going all weekend.
Z6.. I like it a lot but as it doesnt take D nikkor glass or Canon glass - it doesnt really fit - Im better to get a canon of equal stature. Being into three sets of glass is bad enough.
I guess logic says bin the D3 and D glass.. that might come
I guess my sony 18-200 can go.
