Nikon Z6II Black 2020
The 24.5MP full-frame sensor captures clean detail at ISO 51200, and the 273-point AF system locks onto fast subjects during 14fps bursts. An included NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens provides edge-to-edge sharpness, while 5-stop IBIS and weather sealing add versatility for handheld and field use. This camera suits event and documentary photographers who split time between high-resolution stills and 4K 30p video, though vloggers will find limited front-facing controls.
