I purchased the nikon Z7ii as my first serious mirrorless camera, I have shot nikon cameras and others since 1970. It seems like a long time ago, I have witnessed my changes in this time. I remember how I felt when I left film and when to digital. I have never looked back, kind of the same thing with mirrorless, I bought the nikon Z7ii as a precursor to knowing that I had a Nikon Z9 on order. Not knowing how long I would have to wait to get one and I wanted to have a little experience before the Eagle and Pergine falcon season. I received the Nikon Z9 before Christmas (Thanks) I had about six months before my trip to Seabeck Washington. I was able to get many more shots that ever before, I think using the nikon z7ii made the learning curve less. I have shot every Pro Nikon since 1970,I can't wait to see what is next. Totally committed to Nikon.

I love my Z7II. I also have the Z6II and Z9. The quality is stellar. I love the size and weight. The noise is not quite as good as the Z6II due to the 45 megapixel resolution in low light - but I love to be able to crop in on images. Sometimes it misses focus in a studio portrait setting using wide area large for people. That is frustrating. I guess I'm spoiled by the Z9. I'd love to see a firmware upgrade to improve focus. The Z9 has spoiled me. I would really like to see a Z9 without the video in a small form factor like the Z7II with great focus like the Z9. I tend to take both cameras when I'm out shooting nature Z9 and Z7II so I have more than one lens easily accessible with comparable picture quality. I would love them both to be the same size as the Z7II. Otherwise - Nikon is amazing - the lenses and picture / color quality is fabulous. I wish the software companies with fix the ability to see the HE* format of the Z9 so I could shoot compressed.

I bought the z7II to pair with my z7 (always wanted a backup body). The z7II is my workhorse body. I thought that the d810 would be my last camera, but decided to try mirrorless for a lighter kit. I was not disappointed; the z7's are light, sturdy, and professional grade. The colors are outstanding. I'm an old style still photographer so some of the bells & whistles are not used that much, but I print alot and the results are amazing. BTW, I have the 24-70mm & 14-30mm f/4 zooms ... where is the 70-200mm f/4 zoom?

Absolutely love my Z7ii! As primarily a landscape photographer it is the perfect camera. Great sensor, great live view, and sharp focusing options. Interval timer, multiple exposure options, focus blending, etc.etc.etc give me endless options for straight landscape or more creative artistic imaging as well.

I really had doubts moving moving from a DSLR to mirrorless, but I knew the benefits were too much to ignore. I was looking for a replacement for my D850 and the Z 7II had all the features that I was looking for. I was not disappointed! A great camera that has exceeded all my expectations. The performance is excellent and the image quality is what you would expect from a high-end camera. It is my go-to for both my professional and personal work. I especially appreciate the dynamic range and improved eye-detection AF.

With the acquisition of my Z7 II, I have pretty much completed my transition to mirrorless. I began with the Z7 when it came out. At the time, I sold my D600 and kept my D810, so I had a hybrid. As Nikon expanded their Z mount lens line, I began to sell of some of my F mount lenses and replace them with Z mounts. The release of the Z7 II enabled me to sell my D810. I love the mirrorless cameras. When I travel with two bodies and multiple lenses, the weight difference is evident. The Z mount lenses are sharper than their F counterparts. The Z cameras with their IBIS enables me to handhold at a much slower shutter speed. The easy of changing settings on the Z cameras with the customizable "i" menu is a great tool.

The Z 7 II is the replacement for my D750 (that died a tragic death) and it far outperforms the D750. The mirrorless function is fantastic and getting the optimal settings is easy. The Z 7 Ii is light, it’s fast and it is up to the toughest challenges.

Currently using the z7ii for multiple genre's.With the 24-200, 14-30 and 85mm prime it has delivered for all the uses that I've been challenged with.Just now have been experiencing the close up tubes, but have no notable usage of them yet.Looking forward to my first road trip with this set up, and believe that current camera and lense configuration should cover 99 percent of everything that I encounter.

Needs FW update to improve focus tracking, take bird pictures and will not maintain tracking after a bit. Also found that it will not maintain the selection of display (Viewfinder vs Monitor, and does not work with Auto select between VF and Monitor), this is annoying when I'm tracking birds between Monitor and VF.Pictures out of camera are great, previous camera is a D850, now tend to use Z 7II more.
