Z 6II

Really good camera for the price. I got it new on sale for $1696 and it was the best choice. The Autofocus is smooth, the picture quality is amazing. Truely a beast for astrophotography, videos, and much more. This camera minds the gap from beginner to serious hobbiest/pro

My rating is based on my expectations being met. I don't believe I am qualified to compare this to other cameras. I have made over 50 video clips of musical performances with this and the pancake 26mm. I am getting wonderful results. I have a Z7ii and wanted a second cam for live music overview videos. The Z6ii and Z7ii are either exactly the same or so close I don't care. I was tired of confusing the menus of the other four cameras I have. I also enjoy landscape, wildlife and street still photography. The Z6ii with the Z 26mm is enough resolution and small enough to slide into a small Camelback. This met my expectations perfectly. I saw one review saying there was no RAW video. I am not sure what that meant. I can output N-log via HDMI to a recorder and think that is raw. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the SnapBridge camera control still is bugged and not reliable. The link will drop randomly and the cam will stop recording. It would be more useful if the cam kept recording as then shots would not be lost. Nikon is aware of this and a fix is coming. I hope.

I am one very satisfied customer! In fact, my experience with this camera cemented my decision to stay with mirrorless bodies, even though I have some serious money invested in F-mount glass and one great body (the D850). Since my first mirrorless was a Z5, I knew what to expect in terms of handling. However, I was still very pleasantly surprised at how easy to use this body can be... and how light! My purchase was on impulse, and only three days after receiving the camera I left for Europe, on a 9 week-long trip. Even though I had very little time to familiarize myself with this camera menus, now that I used it with a 24-200 lens, I find it very capable. The AF is better than the Z5's (not yet there at the D850 level), the low-light performance is just great, and even the battery use left me satisfied. I had considered to sell this and my Z5 to purchase a Z8, but now I'm rethinking the idea because this camera works very well and I have found a body that I trust as much as I used to trust my D700.

Its a very good camera though a bit small for my hands. Am always changing apertures because my right index finger is touching the aperture dial inadvertently. The blackouts and also autofocus can be improved.Otherwise great Camera but not for those with large hands.

I love the physical quality, the colors that the camera produces, and the ease of use. It might not be the easiest for beginners, but if they go to YouTube there are lost of user guide tutorials. The battery life is great for my use. When doing video, my cf card tends to over heat, but that can be my card. I take pictures using the cf express and the SD card for video. As well documented, sometimes the auto focus isn't the fastest, but when it hits, it's sharp and clean.

This camera is doing the job for me, indoor and low light images are sharp up to 8000 ISO, very little grain, very happy. I've used the camera for a car show, indoor music event and street photos at this point, looking forward to portraits and family photos next.

The Z6II replaced my D850. So far the camera is meeting my needs. The only issue I find is the AF speed and tracking could be slightly improved. Low light performance is pretty great.

The Nikon Z6II is an excellent and versatile camera. It can be used for nature, sports, events, and it has superb high iso performance for indoor lighting. Nikon has done a great job with firmware updates!

As a previous Sony and Canon user I say goodbye to you.
I am so pleased with my first Nikon, quality, beauty and functionality has me gibberish. The planning that went into the design must have been mountainous. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement.
Great customer care and quick shipping provided.
Thank You Nikon.
