Z 7II

I have been shooting the 6ii for years upgrading from a D500, and adding the ZF as soon as it was available. The ZF kind of took me back to the F2 days. Now I'm taking more pictures of birds and as a result doing more cropping even with the Z100-400mm ,and Z180-600mm lens. At 72 years old after shooting the 6ii for as long as I have, and being able to tell you what happened 20 years ago but not what I had for breakfast, learning how to use a 7ii was a cinch for me!John W

This was a huge upgrade for me. I upgraded my Sony A55 after about 12 years, and replaced all my A mount gear some of what I have had for over 20 years since my Minolta 35mm days. I have only used my 7II for a weekend was loved how it did all day in bright light and then at night for the fireworks show. So far learning this new gear has been mostly easy to understand. Just the feel of the camera in my hand is great. I feel like I have the camera quality I have always wanted. I do wish the LED screen could fold in like other makers when not in use so you have less of a chance of damaging the screen.

Was looking for a great camera to use while visiting the national parks with my wife. Spent the last several months going over the various reviews. Finally decided on the Z7 II. I’m a pretty novice photographer and have enjoyed the many features on the camera so far. It’s probably more camera than what I need to be honest. My last camera purchase was years ago and it was the Nikon D90 so it’s been awhile. The weight and size of the camera are perfect. Really looking forward to getting on the road again and taking so fantastic photos!! Very pleased so far!!

I am impressed with the clarity of the pictures. I also have the 180-600 Nikkor lens. This camera is exceptional for taking pictures of wild life.There are so many settings to learn. I'll be a few months to learn how to properly use them.Great Camera and Great Lenses

Image quality, Colors, autofocus, low light and video recording quality are great. The only headache is the rotation of the screen; it is not fully articulated as it is difficult to take a long-angle picture, in that part, Z8 is better. I wonder if the screen mechanism can be replaced.

Fantastic machine! Had it since it was released and after learning the focus modes it has been nothing short of amazing. The image quality is excellent. Low light performance is better than expected for a 47 M sensor. I continue to learn its features. It is a photographers camera as you need to understand it to get the most out. I cannot believe the dynamic range. If it. When you learn how it works worlds open up. Absolutely love it.

This is my second full frame digital camera. I bought it in February, 2024 (refurbished by Nikon), and it was a choice between this and the new Z8. I do not shoot sports, wildlife, or videos so I could see no compelling justification for buying a Z8. This Z7ii does everything I need it to do and I am quite pleased with it. Even if the cost were the same, I think this is the better choice for me.I've been shooting film since 1948 (and still do), and my love/hate relationship with digital cameras is the morass of features and menus, most of which I will never use, and therefore the time and effort required to set it up as I want is a frustration. The only missing feature I wish the Z7ii had would be the ability to download all my settings to an SD card that I can store outside my camera so that if I ever buy another Z7ii as a spare or replacement or have it reset during a repair, I will not have to go thru another set up. (My Zf has this feature and I truly think it is worthwhile.)
