Nikon Z 7 II
Doesn’t time fly. It feels like yesterday Nikon entered the full-frame mirrorless market with the Z 6 and Z 7, yet here we are two years on looking at the sequel to its high-resolution specialist camera. Activity in the full-frame mirrorless sector has been rife these past few years, with most camera manufacturers expanding their line-ups beyond a pair of models. The release of the Z 5 increased the number of full-frame cameras in Nikon’s Z-series to three. This number has since been bolstered to five with the introduction of the Z 6II and Z 7II.
The Z 7II follows the popular Z 7 and becomes the new flagship model in the Z-series. It’s virtually identical in terms of design and as those who digested our first impressions will know, sets out to address the shortcomings of the original. But can it entice those who haven’t already switched to mirrorless to do so and is it worthwhile upgrading to from the Z 7? These are questions I intend to answer.
Features
The Z 7II is an update to the Z 7, not a replacement. The original will continue to be sold beside the Z 7II for the foreseeable, giving photographers choice over which is better suited to their needs. The Z 7II costs £680 more at the time of writing, so what does this extra get you?
In terms of resolution, the Z 7II adopts the same 45.7MP back-illuminated full-frame sensor from the Z
