Nikon Z Z7 II Black 2020

85 out of 100 high confidence 158 reviews

The Nikon Z7 II is highly praised for its exceptional 45.7MP image quality, superb dynamic range, and solid build. Users love the lighter weight compared to DSLRs like the D850, the excellent EVF, and the ability to adapt F-mount lenses via the FTZ adapter. The autofocus is generally accurate for portraits and landscapes, but many note it lags behind competitors, especially for fast action and birds in flight. Battery life is a common concern, and the dual card slot design (CFexpress/XQD + SD) is seen as a practical compromise. Overall, it's a fantastic value for high-resolution stills photography.

Pros
  • Exceptional 45.7MP image quality
  • Superb dynamic range and sharpness
  • Lightweight and comfortable ergonomics
  • Excellent electronic viewfinder (EVF)
  • F-mount lens compatibility via FTZ adapter
Cons
  • Autofocus lags behind competition for action
  • Battery life is shorter than DSLRs
  • Dual card slots are mismatched (CFexpress + SD)
  • No built-in GPS
  • No native pancake lens for compact travel
