Customer Ratings & Reviews

I upgraded from the d7500 and it's a night and day difference. I absolutely love the speed and quality of this camera (used with nikkor z lenses). If i could complain about something, it's that the auto focus (on all nikons, from what ive read) are just not quite as fast as brands like sony or cannon, but it does good enough if your subject is well lit. It doesnt affect me enough to drop down to a 4 star rating.

This was the upgrade I needed at a price point that allowed me to finally take the plunge into full frame. While I have been shooting with a Nikon for years, I have never had a full frame. As someone who shoots weddings and enjoys shooting events, I have found myself really exploring the many features and trying new things. Having compared the options before making my decision, I knew this camera would fit my specific needs without going overboard or not getting what I truly wanted in my upgrade.

Sold my older 300 and 500 and bought this body and the lens converter. Very happy with the images and ease of use.

Swapped from a D850 to this and so glad I did. I love everything about it! I use it for newborn photography

Love my camera. Takes great photos. I use it almost everyday

This is my first mirrorless camera. Never realized how impressed I would be. It's fun to use with its many attributes that I still learning to use. It will be my primary landscape and portrait camera.

I have owned for 2 years. It is a great camera Coming from d7500. It will take time to learn the AF modes and when to use them and for what. 45 megapixel allows for ease with cropping. The ftz ii adapter will allow use of AFS lens with ease and zero optical difference. The viewfinder is natural view. I’m no pro, but a 68 year old enthusiast. O need to spend more for z8 unless you have pro aspirations or just disposable cash. Invest in good glass and rent Lightroom mobile. You will have pro level images! The focus tracking isn’t A plus but if needed will get the job done.

I got to upgraded my camera to this!!! I love my new camera! I love the quality of pictures!

I have been a Nikon DSLR user for many years. I transitioned to the z7ii mirrorless from a D810. After a bit of a learning curve to get comfortable with the dials and menus I find this to be an amazing piece of hardware. I was reluctant to go mirrorless because of my comfort zone with the DSLR and its controls but I’m loving my new gear. Highly recommended

Light and versatile camera. The imagine quality is superb. Feel good on hand.

Upgraded to mirrorless from the D3300 I bought back in 2016. Wow. What a difference. With the FTZ converter I can keep my old F-mount lenses. I was focusing on GoPros the last 5-6 years. This is going to bring me back to photography.

Perfect for landscape photography. Upgraded from DSLR.

D850 genius into a small mirrorless body. I bought this camera to compliment my Nikon D850 for jobs where a smaller form factor was important.

So far love it for macro, portraits and landscapes. Still have a lot more to learn about it.

I'm coming from the D850 and don't like this camera as much. Pros: it is lighter and has eye tracking. The color is quite a bit different from the D850 (if you're planning on carrying this with another body style, it takes time to match color while editing). I have issues with skin tones looking muddy, which is something I've never struggled with before. I like the eye tracking, but it doesn't always work. I also feel like the images are flat compared to the D850 (and I have worked with adjusting in-camera settings). If I was starting with this camera I would probably think it was pretty great, but knowing what I've been capable of doing, I've been disappointed. This camera body is smaller, so I would suggest getting the battery grip if you have bigger hands. I have medium sized hands and find that it's almost uncomfortably small and off-balanced with larger lenses. The buttons are also smaller and has made it tricky to quickly change settings while I have the camera up to my eye. I feel like this camera was designed to be held and shot with an extended arm instead of up to your eye. It being lighter than my past dslr cameras is a perk though.

Outstanding camera! I was going to upgrade from the Z6, but decided to keep the Z6 for video. The images out of the Z7ii are outstanding and it is nice to have the flexibility to crop in a little more. When I don't crop, it is even better! I shot some video with the new camera and it was great too! Very clear and auto focus worked as it should. One thing I have to say to the negative Nikon people, I shot some long videos at full resolution and I didn't need to stop because the camera got hot (same with my Z6, can run it for hours on live webinars). I have been on video shoots with videographers using the other two main brands and they all needed to stop to wait for their cameras to cool down. Not an issue here! I have been shooting with my new 24-200 at the beach and was able to get some incredible wild life shots (have other lenses, but wanted to use this one). Although my F mount lenses are working great, even the 24-200 Z lens takes great pictures! I am on a budget, but can't wait to get some of the more expensive Z lenses. You can't beat Nikon glass and Nikon colors! I wish I can say that I can compare this against the Z7, but have only used the Z6. This is very fast and focus is great whether with people or wildlife. Can't say enough about the camera, if you are thinking about this camera, just get it!

I decided go with the newer technology of mirrorless and love this camera so much. I really enjoy the electric viewfinder! All settings (ISO, shutter speed, and F stop) all show up in real life changes in light within the view finder. You can set this camera to beep when you shoot, if that's your thing, I have the beep off. It makes a quiet shutter noise that is similar to my old DSLR, that I prefer most of the time. However in instances where I want to be more discrete, there is a silent shooting mode where there is no beep or shutter noise... just a tiny motor noise which is barely audible. Works fantastic when I'm shooting photos of birds that can be very easy to startle. All the button settings and dials on the camera can be customized to how you shoot. The pop up menus can be customized for the other settings you use most. It's a good weight, much lighter than my DSLR and smaller... yet it feels great in the hands and is balanced well. I don't use the LCD much but it works great and is touchscreen so you can use it to focus or change your settings at will and it also shows the changes in light. Another option I enjoy is the focus peaking. It has multiple colors and strength settings. The only issue I see is that its auto focus can sometimes be a little wonky. It works excellent on people, and there is a pet option that does excellent on cats and dogs. However, birds and more fidgety animals can be a bit trickier... normally I turn it to manual focus and still get excellent results, but I wanted to give this a fair review. It is a little harder if you are used to shooting with autofocus, sometimes it's auto focus is focusing more on the beak than the eyes, especially trying to track animals. I almost exclusively shoot manual so for me it's not a big issue.

I hesitated for a long time to upgrade from a dslr to mirrorless. After a month of shooting with this, I don't have a desire to pick up my d750. Its weight and picture quality is great. The new auto focus system didnt take long to get used to and its been awesome. Get the FTZ, all the old lens work great.

Bought this camera body recently along with the FTZ adapter. I am a professional portrait photographer, mostly outdoor senior and family type photos. I have used D810, D850 and now the Z7II for these and having used it on three shoots so far, I can honestly say its fabulous, just fabulous, and I am picky about sharpness. Colors are wonderful, eye tracking focus never misses (yes these models are standing still), and it's nice and light. If you research the photography forums you will see some negative comments, ignore them, they are either commenting on the autofocus issues that have largely been resolved via firmware updates, or there is some picky personal preference that this camera doesn't have that they want (all axis screen tilt seems to be a big one). Bottom line, it's excellent, and even without the S lenses, using the FTZ adapter and my F mount lenses it is really really good. I sold my D810 and may, may even sell my D850, yes, it's that good. Ok, that was the overwhelming positive, here are some picky peeves - you have to put a little time into learning the new "ecosystem" - auto focus options are a little different but not overwhelmingly so. You can only review images on both the screen and the view finder. There is no options to keep a live image in the view finder while chimping the screen. Again, not a big deal as you can just press a review button. I don't do video so I have no information on that. Oh, and there is an AUTO BUTTON, the humanity.......

Wow from older model to a mirrorless model big difference I really love the speed and accuracy. I truly love it. I think I’m set for a while. The colors are amazing. Very easy to operate for a non professional photographer. I feel like a professional jajaja I just love it.
