Nikon Z 7II | Ultra-high Resolution Full-Frame mirrorless Stills/Video Camera | Nikon USA Model | Video USA Model

This is my 5th Nikon Digital camera (SLR) and first mirrorless camera and it did not disappoint!I shoot mostly lightning and extreme weather, typically I set up my camera with a 3rd party intervalometer, tripod, rain cover etc and shoot a couple thousand frames, then use a software program to create a timelapse and of course finding individual lightning shots to save and print.The features in this camera not only allow me to great great high res photos, but the built in interval settings means I no longer have to pack the old intervalometer (which is compatible with the z7ii), but it also has a time-lapse movie option that will make a time-lapse in camera, just put it on a p.c. and hit play! Better yet it has an "exposure smoothing" option that will give you flicker free time-lapse movies! It tightly controls, ISO, aperture and shutter speed so you can shoot day to night, night to day time-lapses, flicker free and even use "program mode" if you like!The I-menu is another great feature, all the most important settings can be quickly accessed from here, including AF modes, picture size/quality, white balance etc.Nice large rear monitor that has a 2 axis mechanism for low or high shooting angles, and it's also a touch screen!Completely quiet shutter mode ( I like to hear the shutter, but nice option when you really need to be quiet).Then of course the picture quality which is just outstanding, you could crop out 75% of the photo and still have enough quality and detail for large prints.This camera is also plenty fast enough for shooting fast moving subjects (the Z8 is even better suited for fast action, but this unit will still do an exceptional job for that type of shooting).There are way too many features to go over in a review like this and I am still learning and testing out this camera, but so far it's capabilities have exceeded my expectations!It's worth every penny!

As a professional photographer for close to 50 years and a Nikon user since I purchased my first Nikon F for $25 in 1976, I have been using Nikon cameras throughout my career. I finally decided after using a Z6ll along side my D850s I decided to sell them while they were worth a few bucks and get a Z7ll. For the type of work I do I just needed something with a large sensor to match the D850 at half the weight! I also like the fact that I can use the battery grip for the Z6ll for the Z7ll when I need it.I’ve invested in a few Z lenses and using the FTZ adapter I have a slew of glass available. When the time comes and they replace the Z8, maybe I’ll give up the Z6ll. For now, though, I am thoroughly happy with the quality and files that this camera is producing.I don’t mind putting my website here and can’t wait to start uploading photos that I shoot with the new camera on a regular basis!paulgelsobellstudio.com

Been a Z-7 owner since first release. Also own Canon 5DS-R, 5DMKII.Generally Why Z7-line?- A+ still image quality (I shoot RAW and edit in Photoshop)- A+ ergonomics & best menus in business (not perfect, but pretty great)- Assignable buttons = fantastic- View finder and rear screen are A+- Silent/stealth operation is perfect.- Z lenses and N-Z adapter = phenomenal optics. Currently using all favorite Z, G, Zeiss, Sony E, Canon EOS, SIRUI anamorphic lenses no problem. Cannon lenses via slightly temperamental/flawed Techart EF>Z adapter (will not work in pure MF mode!).Why to upgrade to Z7-II?- Faster in-camera computing (2nd processor), generally snappier operation, faster, more accurate auto focus.- Better video (up to 4k 60p 10 bit in cam)- Slightly longer lasting batteries (but will NOT work with Z7-1 batteries), even though the new batts will charge in the old charger.- 2 card slots - but not 2 slots of the same kind...a slightly annoying, but also interesting pair of XQD/CFEx & SD. So if using CFEx, second card will always be much slower...This design choice was a compromise...give new shooters option to run faster CFEx cards for high end video and raw bursts, retain XQD compatibility, provide SD option as primary or backup because it's smaller and fits. Future will be two CFEx/XQD slots or two of some new smaller version of the CFEx.Negatives:- Still no Z pancake 24mm 1.4 that would make this the ultimate "beyond film Leica M" stealth travel cam. BTW: the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact is fantastic at 16mm...and no-brainer inexpensive...but only DX rez. If you need stealth, that is the way to get it currently. Just carry the Z 24mm 1.8 in your pocket/pack for high rez full frame shots.- Wish all Z lenses had an assignable ring controller (like the kit 24-70) that can be mapped to F stop. F-stop control should ALWAYS be on the lens, PERIOD!!!- Why are all the native Z lenses about the same length as the G's + FTZ adapter? Seems like there are actually ZERO native Z lenses yet. They should be 1" shorter.

I recently wanted to upgrade to a full frame camera after many years of using nothing but Sony APS-C cameras, like the original NEX cameras and recently a Sony a6700. But I just couldn't stomach the, to me, very aggressive prices that Sony has been asking for their full frame models, over $3000 for a Sony a7R-V body only. Although the Nikon Z7ii has been on the market since 2021 I knew I would get a great product from Nikon and took the plunge and bought a Nikon Z7ii body. The results have been fantastic. Sharpness is wonderful with the full frame sensor and noise has been relatively low. In body and electronic image stabilization has been very good. People obsesses about having the latest gear with the latest fractionally better technology. This camera puts the lie to worrying so much about that. I am primarily a stills shooter so whatever someone might complain about as far as video specs on the Z7ii is a minor issue to me. My only complaint on the video front is that the Z7ii does not support HEVC video compression so video files are especially large. I have been very happy with its 4k UHD video recording. Nikon's thinking on menus and feature implementation has taken a bit of a learning curve to adapt to from Sony habits. But like anything once you have gotten in the groove with the way of doing things it actually reveals many positives. The 45mp resolution of the Z7ii means that when using an APS-C lens in crop mode you still have a very competitive APS-C pixel area to work with, one reason I did not go with a more affordable, and still over priced in my opinion, Sony 33mp full frame camera.

Been researching cameras for a while to narrow down which one would work best for me. I think I made the best choice by going with this camera! I love the user-friendly menu and settings and the variety of lenses that are offered for this model. Very sharp quality although the battery life is not the best. I highly recommend buying back up batteries. After taking nearly 8 years off from photography, I am back and it was all made possible with this camera.

Great camera! Love the large images and they are sharp. The colors straight out of the camera are really good. Overall enjoying the purchase.

The camera quality is great. Light weight and super sharp.However the camera (used like new purchase) came dirty. It was covered in dirt around the view finder and other parts.

MY DREAM CAMERA!!!!!!!!!Battery life is insane compared to my Panasonic LUMIX. I can do two shoots without leaving full battery. It fits well in my small hands, has incredible performance in all lighting conditions, and is just a jaw dropping gorgeous incredible machine. I am a die hard Nikon girl now that I own this camera. I got this about a month ago and am still not over my obsession with it.

Exercise got here before delivery date fantastic service would recommend seller camera is better than I thought it would be very happy shopper thank you👍

Equipo muy sólido y de muy buen rendimiento.Sus características son destacables y hacen que valga la pena la inversión.Altamente recomendado.

Comprei a câmera com intuito de fotografia de aves, e não gostei do resultado! O que me fez repensar o set up! Por fim! Retornei à Nikon D500! Para fotografia de aves, a Z7II provou-se ineficiente! Seu sistema de foco é péssimo quanto à velocidade e contraste! Perdi uma garça-roxa que estava voando à frente de uma mata! Em mata sombreada, e para aves pequenas, seu foco também é sofrível! Serve somente para aves grandes e em condição de boa luz e contraste! Nas demais situações de birding, não recomendo!

very happy with the purchase. not only well priced but also fast delivery from the seller. highly recommended and i will not hesitate to buy more from them.

Una excelente cámara!
