Z 7II

My first Z platform Nikon…..amazing piece of equipment..! I’ve had Nikon DSLRs over the years….decided on the Z7II for now until the Z9II is available. Also picked up the Plena to pair with the Z7II….stunning images…worth every penny..!

Steep learning curve but worth the effort…great images…love it with my old and new Nikon lenses…

I bought my Nikon Z 7ii as a backup camera for my Nikon Z8. I do mostly wildlife photography and have really enjoyed my Z8 but wanted to have a less expensive mirrorless camera as a backup on trips. I purchased it recently and have only taken about 500 pictures with it using a 200 - 500 Nikon zoom telephoto. I was pleasantly surprised with the camera's performance. The pictures were very sharp, even at a longer distance. The camera was easy to setup and use as it is very similar to the Z8 in many ways. It will make a great backup camera for trips where you can't afford the loss of your camera. At this time I have no complaints regarding the camera, in fact it has performed better than I expected.

I bought the Z7II when I decided to upgrade from the D5600. Initially I was looking at the D850, but after doing a little bit of research I decided to go to a Mirrorless camera. I chose the Z7II because of the 45.7 MP resolution and the lighter weight. I am so happy I did. I am still learning about it's capabilities. Also using my old lenses with the FTZ II adapter is great. The pictures produced with the FTZ II adapter are very good.

Excellent camera, I bought this for my significant other, she is an amateur bird photography and insect macro photography. She loves this camera and its ability to take detailed photos of both macro insects and stationary wildlife as well as birds in flight. I have found some reviews saying this camera is not good for bird photography or flight birds but I disagree. Paired the the Nikon FTZ adapter she uses a multitude of lenses from her F mount series cameras and the photos have been the most stunning yet. Everything is familiar to her even though she has been using the D800 and D5600 the menu format and layout is very similar. This is a highly complex camera and is more of a computer than camera, learning the camera takes time and is a lengthy process so give yourself patience and take the time to learn the micro details of each feature and this will be one of your favorite broad format camera.

Resolution-wise, the Z7II is incredible—whether shooting outdoors or in well-lit indoor settings, the image quality is fantastic. However, the camera starts to struggle as lighting conditions drop. I also shoot with Z6II bodies and a D850, and both of those consistently outperform the Z7II when it comes to low-light autofocus.As a wedding and portrait photographer, I need gear that adapts quickly to changing light. During receptions, I often find myself switching back to the D850, while my wife has no trouble using the Z6II throughout the evening.When I bought the Z7II, I expected it to be a mirrorless upgrade from the D850, but in real-world use—especially in low light—it still feels like a step back.

The Z7II is really a very good camera. While I am still learning all of its features I can say this is the best Nikon I’ve ever used.

The Z7ii is my first full frame camera and I am in love. Lots of incredible features. I learn something new every time it’s in my hands.

A very nice bargain refurbished. The Z7II shutter count was practically zero and looked new. Purchased fast CFexpress and SD cards that best match the camera. Customized all camera settings and buttons before taking the first picture. Tried a few Z mount and F mount lenses for snapshots and did a macro focus stack. Camera functioned flawlessly. Both the RAW and *jpeg fine images needed very little post processing if any at all. Purchased the Z7II for tripod stills, macro, astro, landscape, time lapse, video, etc. I prefer 2 cameras when gathering outdoor content and the Z7II pairs well with my primary camera, a Z6II. The Z7II will be nice for situations when high resolution is an asset. The Z7II definitely is built solid and it is weather sealed. About 99% of my photography is outdoors in all weather conditions. No concerns about this camera failing at all. This is my 7th Nikon camera body in 20 years. Probably won't be my last and the refurbished price is nice!
