Nikon Z7

Nikon Z7 - Nikon's first cinema-quality mirrorless flagship

Better late than never, the Nikon Z7 opens up Nikon's game in the world of cinema mirrorless. With an all-new sensor and a body rethought from the ground up. The body image stabilizer and electronic viewfinder, things you never thought would come to Nikon, are finally here. This flagship model features a staggering 45 megapixel sensor. Fast autofocus and over 400 focus points make focusing a breeze, and as it's a mirrorless, direct-from-cell focusing device, you can be confident that your images will be unprecedentedly sharp. A tilting rear screen makes it easy to shoot in previously awkward shooting positions, and because it's not a fully tilting design, it's also quick to use. The main body of the camera features the LCD display for settings familiar from vintage cameras, but this time with a modern touch of e-ink.

Conveniently Nikon Z6 and Z7 both use the same frame, and the batteries are the same so using two different frames doesn't cause layout confusion. In a dual camera set-up you can jump from one body to the other intuitively and the only choice criteria is which one you use.

In video, Nikon has been the underdog so far but times have changed and Nikon has got on the nerves of time. Sharp 4k and good video AF is the order of the day and the Nikon Z series is definitely it. The image compression is modern and the focus transitions from point to point have been made smooth. The low light shooting is controlled and you won't be left wanting for anything else, the Nikon takes care of business at home.

Whether you pick up a Nikon Z7 or its little sister Z6, depending on your needs, you won't be disappointed. Nikon has put everything into the game and even the price is close to what the basic consumer can afford. If your needs are higher resolution, the Z7 is your choice , if you're doing more documentary or shooting where a lot of footage is generated, the Z6 is the way to go. Both cameras represent the latest innovations in the industry.
