Nikon Z 7 Mirrorless Digital Camera with FTZ Mount Adapter Kit

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...

As stated at the beginning of this review, the Nikon Z7 and its stablemate the Z6 are two of the best designed full frame mirrorless cameras on the market right now. If you’re moving to mirrorless from a DSLR, the Z7/Z6 is the most comfortable camera to get started with, particularly if you’re...

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.

I have been shooting Nikon Products in excess of 30 years. My main uses are Family, Friends and pets, travel, Landscape, wildlife. I usually do not use the vidio function however I have decided to start. I am really quite pleased with my Z 7. It is so much lighter and smaller than the miror cameras.

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...

Early days, but my first impressions are extremely positive. Handling, ergonomics are excellent. Image quality good. FTZ worked well with 105mm f1.4. Love addition of three user settings that handle both still and video. I have yet to do a tough test with autofocus, whose issues are well documented.

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.

So far, I'm very pleased with the performance of the new Z7. I absolutely love the the in-body-image stabilization that even works well with non-VR lenses. Regrettably, I did not purchase it with the 24-70mm f/4 S-lens. I purchased it only with the FTZ adapter because I have so many F-mount lenses.

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.

First of all I am a 71 year old amateur photographer that loves to take pictures of my grandkids and the places that we travel as we go all over the North America continent as President of Family Motor Coach Association (world's largest non profit RV Association). My old camera was a Nikon D700.
