Small changes have made Nikon's best camera even better.

Superb color reproduction, extreme sharpness and large dynamic range. Perhaps the best ergonomics in class, solid, weatherproof camera body. Well-functioning image stabilizer, and dual card slots.

The tilt screen cannot be rotated, 4K/60p with 1.08 x cropping.

There are lots to like about the Z 7II, and while it’s not a complete overhaul when compared to its predecessor, there have been some small but valuable upgrades. Particularly of interest to professionals and high-end enthusiasts is the addition of a secondary card slot, plus 4K 60p video.

Dual card slots, 4K video up to 60p, Excellent viewfinder

Screen only tilts, not articulates, Autofocusing for sport and action could be better, Relatively small upgrade from predecessor

First introduced in October 2020 , Nikon Z7 Mark II is a 46.0MP Pro Mirrorless camera with a Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor, built-in Image Stabilization, weather sealed body, Tilting touch screen and Nikon Z lens mount. Nikon replaced the older Z7 with this model.

Built-in Wireless (Wi-fi), Bluetooth Connectivity, 5-axis Image Stabilization, Articulating Screen, 4K (UHD) Video, No crop on 4K Videos, 10-bit 4:2:2 at 4K via HDMI Video recording, Touch Screen, Electronic Built-in Viewfinder, Face Detection Focusing, 46.0MP - High Resolution Sensor, 25.600 Max...

Low Battery Life: 420 shots, Heavy Body: 705g

The tweaks and refinements to the Z7 II are certainly welcome, but we think Nikon could have done even more. As it stands it feels a little like a stopgap before we see an all-new model.

Excellent image quality, Lovely handling, 5-axis IS system, Best-in-class build quality

EVF resolution lower than rivals, Tilt-angle display, not vari-angle

Two years ago, Nikon joined the full-frame mirrorless market with a pair of cameras, the Z 6 and Z 7. These followed the approach, originally laid down by Sony, of using identical body designs but sensors of different resolutions, with the Z 6 being a 24MP all-rounder and the Z 7 a 45.7MP...

When Nikon and Canon released their first full-frame mirrorless cameras, I gave the edge to Nikon. Now that Canon and Nikon have both released new standard and high-resolution cameras, what’s the verdict in 2021? This time, Canon wins.
