That will set you back £3,139, or you can buy all three together (Z7 II + 24-70mm + FTZ) for £3,679. You can also buy the Z7 II as part of a kit with the FTZ lens mount adapter, which enables the use of existing DSLR lenses with the Z7 II. If you prefer, you can pick up the Z7 II as part of a kit with the 24-70mm f/4 lens, for £3,549 / $3,596 - compared to £2,999 / $3,096 for the original Z7. There are also some new accessories which can be used with the Z7 II (and the Z6 II), which includes a new battery grip and a new wireless remote.Īt the time of writing, the Z7 II retails for around £2,999 / $2,995 body only, while the original Z7 can be picked up for £2,319 / $2,496. It also means that anybody new to this format doesn’t necessarily have to shell out immediately for a more expensive XQD/CFExpress card. Nikon has addressed that by adding a UHS-II SD card slot for both the Z7 II and the Z6 II, which is designed to give photographers peace of mind. Probably the feature that received the most criticism, especially with the pro-level Z7, was the single XQD/CFExpress card slot. This gives improvements to video - which can now record at up to 60p in 4K, and to burst shooting, which has increased to 10fps (from 9fps), with the added benefit of an faster-clearing buffer. There’s also the same 493-point AF system set-up, though new face/animal detection modes have been added, and it’s also said to be improved when it comes to tracking and focus acquisition in low light.Ī new introduction to the Z7 Mark II is an additional Expeed 6 processor, so that the camera has dual processors, instead of one. The prime example is the sensor, which is the same 45.7 megapixel full-frame back-illuminated device as found in the original Nikon Z7.
#Nikon z7 ii professional
The Z7 II, unlike the Z6 II, is aimed primarily at professional photographers, or high-end enthusiasts with a fairly big budget, as opposed to the more consumer-friendly Z6 II.Īlthough none of the upgrades are overly dramatic, if you add them all together, it makes for quite an interesting proposition - especially if any of these niggles on the first version of the Z7 put you off buying it, or you’re thinking of getting a second body.Īlong with the changes, some things have stayed exactly the same. Nikon says that it has listened to customer feedback from the first generation to bring a number of small, but significant, upgrades to its newest top-end model. Announced at the same time as its sibling, the Z6 II, the new Nikon Z7 II full-frame mirrorless camera is designed to be an evolution from the original Z7, rather than a dramatic overhaul.
