Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

Nikon has entered and exited the mirrorless market before with the largely underwhelming 1-series — but with the Z-series, it looks like Nikon is here to stay. The Z7 proves that Nikon is ready to make mirrorless a priority, with features like 5-axis stabilization, an upgraded processor, and pro...

  Limited 3D tracking, Less effective low light AF compared to D850, Fewer physical controls

The Z 7 is the best full-frame mirrorless camera for photographers invested in the Nikon system, but some quirks prevent it from attaining class-leading status.

• +

  45.7MP full-frame image sensor. 90 percent autofocus coverage. 9fps continuous drive. In-body stabilization. Tilting touch LCD. Superb EVF. Works with Nikon SLR lenses and accessories. 4K video. Weather sealing. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

  Pricey compared to the competition, Lacks dual memory card slots, Not quite as ergonomic as the D850, Not for shooting sports, wildlife, or fast action, No flip-forward screen, Nikon DSLR AutoFocus (D850, D500) is a bit quicker for still photos, No 4K/60p or internal 10-bit 4:2:2 video recording

The Nikon Z7 is a high-end full-frame mirrorless camera that jointly launches the Z-system alongside its more affordable, faster but lower resolution sibling, the Z6. The Z7 gives you 45 Megapixels, phase-detect AF across most of the frame, built-in stabilisation, 4k video up to 30p, 9fps bursts and...

The Nikon Z7 is a worthy contender in the Full-Frame Mirrorless market. It is remarkably polished for a first camera in a completely new platform. This mirrorless takes a 46 MP BSI-CMOS senor paired with an EXCEED 6 processor to deliver a high throughput with 9 FPS at full-resolution.

  Single XQD card slot, Only three S lenses this year, Lenses are pricey on their own

The Z6 and Z7 are Nikon’s first attempts at a full-frame mirrorless camera system. Although it took Nikon many years to finally come out with its own mirrorless system, it was definitely worth the wait for many Nikon photographers.

Nikon's flagship Z7 mirrorless shooter is a big step forward for the camera maker, with an eye to the future with many forward-thinking technologies built in to back up the impressive image quality.

I did all the reading up on the Nikon Z7 and watched as many online videos as I could before sinking serious money into an untried new camera. Most of what I read and saw was from professional reviewers who had not actually had the real finished camera in their hands, and they seemed to come from a...

Awesome camera !! The images you get out of these camera are really pro-grade. The COLORS are so much better !! The auto-focus works perfectly with the lenses I have. 24-70 f4 S, 50mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8. Snapbrige mobile app works seamlessly. The camera overall is very well made.

After having used a D200 and then a D800, I hesitated for a long time about buying a D850, to the point I had it in my hands in a merchant in Orchard St in Singapore. I hesitated enough to let it go and when the Z7 appeared I thought the time was ripe to get into mirrorless.

I purchased my Z7 with the kit Z 24-70 f/4 S primarily for travel, and it has not disappointed. So I wanted to do a short review for those who might also be considering this camera for travel. Size and weight .

For my purposes, which are primarily landscapes and larger, slower moving wildlife - this is a fantastic camera. Image quality on a par with my D850 in a smaller, lighter package. I have heard some griping about the single card slot versus dual, but the absence of doesn't affect me so I don't really...

  Small, lighter, the future of Nikon I think.
