Z 6II

This is my second Z6II. As a sports photographer I carry two cameras so I am able to capture close up action with my Z 24-70 2.8 S mounted to one Z6II and an 80-400 mounted to the other (using the FTZ adapter). Most times I'm shooting bursts in AF-C mode. The Z6II focuses quickly and accurately. Color and images are great during the day or night games. I was using a D810, as my go-to camera before I purchased my first Z6II. The D810 was a bit heavier and not as responsive. Love being able to see what I captured on the LCD in real time so I am able to change or correct my settings accordingly. The Z6II is perfect for what I need. I have since added a Z 70-200 2.8 S and battery grip to my kit for court-side vertical basketball shots. During my free time, I love shooting wildlife and landscapes. Again, the Z6II turns out great images all around. I am very happy I switched to the Nikon mirrorless system!

Lightweight and very versatile. This camera fits great in my hands and has a very easy learning curve.

As a sports photographer I now love it after changing the focus settings from the factory, I'll be selling my D500 and using the $$ to help purchase the Z mount 70-200mm f/2.8 (a friend let me borrow his) I added the battery grip as I shoot some sports vertically and it really fits my hand nice and seems to be lighter then the D500 and f mount 70-200mm lens combo.

Upgraded from my D750. I shoot mostly wildlife. The first thing I noticed is that the images are clearer compared to the DSLR. Shot some photos of a hawk that hangs around our back yard with an f mount 300 f4 lens. Images were awesome. Another reason I went mirrorless is I’m wanting to try video. Will be selling some f mount lenses to buy z mounts. So far very pleased with the upgrade.

Outstanding all the way around, I do a great deal of low light photos, this is the perfect tool

I recently upgraded to the full frame Z 6II from my D500. The first thing I noticed was the difference in weight. The Z 6II is much lighter and the body is more compact. I have fairly large hands so the smaller grip on the Z 6II takes some getting used to. I have noticed that the kit lens that came with my Z 6II is an S Line series lens which provides extremely clear photo detail compared to the lenses on my D500. Don't get me wrong, I still love my D500 but the clear advantages of the new full frame mirrorless cameras is very noticeable indeed. I have only used the camera for a short time, and I am very pleased with the results I'm getting so far. Great camera and lens combination at a good price. Thank you Nikon.

Picked up one of these while they were on sale for $400 off and I don’t regret it one bit, the performance of this thing is outstanding all around and fairly easy to use. Mildly heavy and my only complaint is that extended or long exposure pictures absolutely need to be on a tripod as this camera’s VR is honestly not the greatest. Wouldn’t trade it for anything else still, it’s an incredible value and well done product by Nikon who I’ve grown to love as a beginner and first time customer. Battery life is also excellent and the fold out screen is great except it can’t fold out like a door, buttons are pretty solid and some are even metal, doesn’t really get hot with mild use.

I love this camera! I upgraded from a Z6 and I am not disappointed. It is amazing how you tolerate things because you have to. Case in point, the Z6's auto focus. Subsequent firmware updates did make it better. But the Z6ii, blows away the Z6 in every way. Focus, buffer, processing speed. If you are on the fence about getting this camera, even in 2024, just do it. You won't regret it.

Works greatCompactExcellent picture quality in low lightPut the 24 to 200 on it and you are all set for travel photography
