Nikon Z Z7II 2020
Dual EXPEED 6 processors and a 45.7MP full-frame CMOS sensor enable precise subject acquisition, backed by dual card slots (CFexpress/XQD and UHS-II SD) for on-the-fly backup. The comfortable, durable, weather-sealed body is intuitive to handle, and the included FTZ II adapter brings extensive F-mount glass into the Z ecosystem. This camera is best for studio and landscape photographers who demand high-resolution detail and fault-tolerant dual-slot recording.
