seriously frustrated because i just spent my whole $2000 budget on this Nikon Z6 for my Iceland trip next month only to realize my old cards wont even fit. it feels like every little thing is another hidden cost. what are the absolute must-have accessories for a new Z6 before i lose my mind?
Iceland is gonna be so freaking amazing!! I totally feel your pain on the extra costs tho, it literally never ends... but you absolutely need more juice for those cold hikes or youll be so sad. The Z6 is thirsty and the cold kills batteries fast.
You shooting waterfalls or aurora? Watch out for the spray... Peak Design Shell Medium is tough but pricey vs Op/Tech USA Rainsleeve which is cheap but flimsy. TL;DR: dont get it wet.
i know the card prices sting, but im really satisfied with the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Gold Series 128GB. it handles the Z6 data rates easily and hasnt failed me yet. you basically need a card to even use the thing, so grab that and a SanDisk Extreme Pro CFexpress Type B Card Reader USB 3.1 Gen 2 to keep things moving. no complaints, it just works well.
