Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best camera I have ever owned. The pictures are great. we used it on a trip out to Moab, UT to take night photos. 1st time doing that too. I was given the camera setting to use by a friend in order to shoot the milky way. ISO was supposed to be 1800, but I made the mistake of setting it at 180. Well, the camera shot was awesome at 180 ISO. Hmm... not sure how that worked, but it did. Day shots and low-light shots are great/fantastic. I have noticed that the bright light shots are too light on auto. It performs much better on manual with some slight adjustments to tone down the pic. Keep in mind that the older or cheaper DX lenses don't really work on this camera. I bought a 28mm to 300mm Nikon VR lense that is perfect. Shot the night sky with a 1.8f 35 mm lens.

I originally purchased the Z6 and I was not happy with that camera. And I took it back in and exchanged it for the Z7 that has better MP. I have shot with this camera and it is good for video it is good for standing still but there needs to be a little bit of work done to focus from the back screen as it doesn’t have like a vibration control and the pictures do not come out sharp while being handheld.

After much research and hands on experience at my Best Buy, I decided to purchase the Nikon Z7. While I am still learning how to unleash the power and potential of this camera, so far I am thrilled! The fact that I am easily use all my F mount lenses with this camera is a real plus, especially since I like to photograph wildlife and need a good zoom lens.

This body in the right hands creates razor sharp images! I highly recommend this camera. It did upgrade my image quality for sure!

I get great pictures, and since I already have the Z6 getting my settings was a breeze

I've had this camera for a few days and can't say enough about the image quality. Probably the best Nikon has produced. My only complaint so far is that there is no autofocus motor built into the camera body like I had on my D610. What that means is that my D series Nikon lenses lost their auto focus capability. So now I have to work on my focusing skills, which is a challenge with my old eyes. So if you have D series or older lenses with no autofocus motor in the lens, you will have to manually focus with those lenses.

I purchased this camera after finding myself frustrated with a different mirrorless camera from another maker. I love this camera for the following reasons: It is intuitive...if you are a Nikon camera owner, learning to use this camera is a piece of cake. It comes with an adapter so that you can use your existing Nikon lenses...a huge plus. It is slightly lighter weight than my other Nikon digital cameras, but not enough to make a huge difference. The picture quality is stunning. Overall, I find this camera to be a worthwhile choice for a mirrorless camera.

I own a Nikon D850 and have a bunch of expensive lenses, so getting the Z7 with the FTZ adapter was something I was looking forward to. It took a couple days of testing to get really comfortable with the Z7 because some things are different from the DSLRs, but many things are the same, so it isn't a completely new experience if you have used a Nikon DSLR from the last 10 years. Most of the controls are there, they just may be in different menu locations. The displays, including the EVF are amazing. Seeing the exposure in the EVF before you take the shot helps so much in manual mode as the meter may under/over expose a little when you really want to nudge the exposure the other way, I like to get as close as possible to the final image from the camera, even though I always shoot RAW (NEF). So far, I took both my D850 and the Z7 to Las Vegas with the idea that I would focus on the Z7 and use the D850 if required. Well, I didn't even pull the D850 out of my bag. I used my Z7 the whole time and never found that I was lacking anything. That said, I would probably still use my D850 for a lot of the fast action images like sports, at least for now. I don't think I'm comfortable enough with the Z7 for extremely fast action shots.

The Nikon Z7 is consistent with Nikon quality. The Z7 is much lighter\smaller than DSLR's and much easier to handle, carry and travel with, especially when dealing with weight restrictions (like African safaris and other remote places). The only downside that I have seen is there are fewer usable buttons, due to the smaller size, and you have to use menus to access certain features typically available on DSLRs.

I got this camera as a replacement for my old Nikon D80. I was very satisfied with the D80 but the Z7 is even better. It lets you change many setting such as focus points etc but if you are not so inclined, you don't have to study the manual before taking pictures. The defaults work just fine. I also like the idea that I don't have to take a separate movie camera with me on my trips. The large bright display is also great. I particularly like that the camera is relatively light and that picture taking, now that there is no moving mirror, is quicker. Compared with my D80, I am missing a built-in flash but at this point I have not needed one yet because of the camera's high sensitivity. This camera requires you to extend the lens each time before using it, which is a minor inconvenience. Setting up a Wi fi connection to my PC was pretty hard and I think I will just take out the memory card and connect it to my PC. The camera requires expensive memory cards and I would prefer a unique, time and date based picture labeling system to prevent overwriting other pictures in my PC.

Nikon Z7 works fantastic! Took a bit gettting used to all the features, but it was well worth it. Would recommend it to everyone who asks!

I've had all the cameras! a73 a7r3 eosR a9 z6 z7 for ergonomics, grip, color, high resolution, dynamic range..... the z7 wins for me! happy bby had this in stock in delaware, thank you bby!

My first step into getting a mirrorless camera. As far as the quality of images and functions the camera has, there's very little left that you need. The only thing I'm still getting use to is having the viewfinder shut-off after a few seconds. I may extend the time, but that will also use more battery. My other camera is a D850 so the jump in quality wasn't that apparent; but the Z7 is much lighter!

Wow I couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase. Nikon never get it wrong, the Z7 is absolutely great, wonderful resolution, great finishing and stile. This is not a camera for beginners, don't spend that much $ if your not ready for... Nikon have several other DSLR options that are very good... but if you're ready GET IT because its great, in my opinion the best camera out there.

I have owned the Nikon Z7 for a couple of weeks now and could not be more impressed. The build is very sturdy and the grip feels great in my hand. - Resolution: The Z7's 45.7MP sensor captures HUGE images with incredible detail. - Dynamic Range: The dynamic range of the Z7 is incredible. When pulling up blacks from an underexposed image or dark area in an image, the detail is preserved with very little noise. - ISO Range: The ISO range is very capable on the Z7. With a range from 64-25600 and extended ranges of (Max) 10240 (Min) 32. I am able to capture crisp clean images in well-lit situations and am able to push the ISO beyond where I ever have before and still have acceptable images. The cameras high resolution also helps, reducing the size of the pixels creates a smaller noise field. - Z mount: Admittedly I do not own a Z-mount capable lens yet. However, I am able to use FTZ mount adaptor and use all of my F-mount lenses with autofocus. The only lens I am not able to use auto-focus on is my Tamron 150-600. However, I am able to manually focus it and still produce excellent results. Some Features I love: - Focus Peaking: While in manual focus mode the camera shows you where your focus point is by outlining the areas in a color you choose. This is very handy when shooting macro shots or wide landscape shots to make sure your focus is where you want it. - Delayed exposer: You are able to choose from .2 to 3 seconds to delay the time between pressing the shutter release button and when the shutter actuates. This is extremely handy when capturing long exposer images. I almost never carry my remote with me anymore. - Live View: "Live View" shows you how your camera settings affect the image on the back display and in the viewfinder, effectively reducing the number of sample photos taken to get the exposure you want. You are able to turn "Live View" off if it does not suit your style or in low light situations. - Auto Focus Points: With 493 autofocus points you are able to choose virtually any point in the frame to focus on. What I don't love: - Battery life: Although it is not great it is the worst I have seen. I am able to get by with only one battery (for now) without many issues. - Only one memory card slot: The XQD memory card that the Z7 uses is amazingly fast and reliable, it would just be nice to have that extra piece of mind with a back-up card. That being said I have not lost any images yet. - Overall: I could not be happier with my purchase. There are so many features and customization options that I will never be left wanting.

I have been a Nikon DSLR user for many years and have a number of pro-grade lenses, but I wanted to get something lighter. I am so impressed with the speed, ease of use, versatility and quality of this camera and its output. Highly recommended.

Keeps the same Nikon platform if you are used to Nikon cameras. Low light shooting is the best and awesome detail.

I purchased this camera while upgrading all of my equipment. It look so long to decide if this one was the right one for me as there still is not much information out about this particular camera. I believe I made the right decision and I love this camera. I shoot portraits, family, senior, etc photography with this camera. I am glad I chose this... Nikon for the win once again!

So I'm using this Z7 with a lens that I bought in 1968....46 megapixels. I show you but it's too big! I don't have a cpu lens so I have to focus it myself. The camera changes it's speed so whatever opening I select the exposure is perfect. I am having a blast with the binary picture control.

Fine and easy to use, quality, able to use f mount lenses with z-adapter.
