## Questions & Answers

**Q: I currently have a D5600 and i was considering this or a Z6 my main focus is stills. Which do you think is better?**
A: Hello
So the Z6 and the D780 have the same sensor.  Images will really be the same.  Its a question of mirrorless or an slr.  The slr gives you an optical viewfinder vs the lcd in the z6. Either way you can't do wrong
Thanks
The Photo Center

A: ROBI’S Camera carries only authorized US produce. We have never stocked gray
