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!

Awesome product. Excellent quality. The Z 7’s core strength lies in its 45.7MP BSI-CMOS sensor. It delivers astonishing detail, high dynamic range (especially at its base ISO 64), and excellent color depth. For photographers specializing in landscape, architecture, studio, and fine-art photography, this sensor is still world-class. The lack of an anti-aliasing (AA) filter maximizes sharpness

Easy to use, fast, light weight and great quality of pictures.

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.

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.

Great mirrorless camera! Light weight, sturdy, and powerful. Too bad Tamron and Sigma F lenses with FTZ adaptor don’t work too well. It doesn’t look like a very expensive camera though.

Use this for stills only as I don’t shoot video. Fantastic captures on this body, using with F lens and FZ adapter for wildlife and scenic images. Highly recommend this body

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.......

Good Excellent nice camera easy to use and sharp color

I love this camera. I've been a Nikon shooter for some time now and I was using the D850. I decided to go mirrorless so I picked up the Z7ii. It is essentially a mirrorless version of the D850. This camera is feature-packed and image quality is superb. So far, my only complaint is that Nikon doesn't have a better option for a remote wireless shutter. It would be nice if there was a Bluetooth technology that can act as the shutter release, but I have to find one. There Z7ii has the DC2 port for a wired option or their ridiculously expensive wireless transmitter, but that's not really an option for me since I use an l-bracket and I don't want to have something plugged when I want to switch to portrait mode. Also, I wish Nikon made the rear screen fully articulating like Canon. It only tilts which is great when shooting landscape from a low perspective, but shooting portrait will be challenging to see the screen if the camera is down low.

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.

The Z 7 II is a masterpiece. Lightweight and easy to handle. Before I bought this camera I was contemplating buying the Z 8 which is about $1000.00 bucks more. But I decided on this Z 7 II and I don't regret my decision.

Upgrading from a D610, the image quality and low light performance is amazing. I also appreciate the reduced weight for backpacking. I have medium sized hands and occasionally I do find my pinky fingers off the edge of the body. Shooting indoors in lower light conditions I did find I had to pay a lot more attention to the autofocus and durring action shots,I did miss the mark a few times. Overall still really rnjoy using the camera

Extremely happy with this camera. I use it primarily for its video capabilities but both photo and video quality are top notch. The autofocus options in video mode are super handy and with previous experience with Nikon DSLRs and Sony mirrorless, this takes characteristics of each to the next level. For video, I highly recommend it.

My first mirrorless camera. I have only had it for less than 3 weeks, but already I love it. It acquires fast and accurate focus, I tried the eye AF on a book cover with a face on it and it locked right in on the eye and produced a sharp image of it. It is definitely a learning curve, but it is a fun camera to work with. It produces sharp images with my F mount lens on the FTZ adapter. No regrets on this purchase and highly recommended.

Great mirrorless camera. My first mirrorless and a decent step up from my previous DSLR, (Nikon D750). The transition was smooth and easy, (nominal learning curve). Besides the mirrorless features, the Z 7ii is lighter weight, double megapixels and the camera is a decent step into professional level photography.

Excellent mid level camera, AF almost like Z8, just a tab bit slower and image quality is same as Z8. all this at a fraction of Z8's price.

After months of research, I decided to purchase the Nikon Z7ii. I chose to purchase from Best Buy because the prices are fair, they match, and offer great services so I can be worry free on photo shoots. I've had the camera about 6 weeks and had the opportunity to go on about four or five photo shoots. The results are fantastic. With over 30 years photography experience, this camera is the best yet. Will definitely purchase future photography needs from Buy Best. Cannot wait to uncover all the possibilities with this camera.

Crisp, clean images!!! All the things I love about the Nikon lives in this camera! Very pleased.. very light. Don't like the price tag on the video SD card, but glad there is a normal SD slot. Very happy with this camera-- as well as the 30mm lens I bought with it!

Hoo this camara is great for me. The weight is perfect for my events.
