Z 7II

I am primarily tale travel and family pictures. Love the camera.

I've been a professional photographer for decades and I've used many different types and brands of film and digital cameras. I always prefer shooting with Nikon cameras because their superior performance and ergonomics help me focus on the image rather than be distracted by the camera. I've shot portraits, macro work, architectural assignments, landscape, wildlife and photojournalism assignments and my Z7II has never let me down and my clients have been delighted with the images. All of my Z series cameras have been a great investments that have paid for themselves many times over.

Works well for landscape photos but after buying a Z9 I won’t be using it for birds in flight. The tracking on the Z7ii still needs work. It works but just not to the same level as the Z9, maybe some day

My Nikon Z7 II is my go-to camera for everyday photography, especially for landscapes. Although I have the Nikon Z6 II and a Nikon Z fc camera, the Nikon Z7 II is my first choice.- It has excellent ergonomics- Withstands the riggers of outdoor use in dusty or wet weather with excellent weather sealing.- Buttons and dials are all in logical places and easy to access without lifting your eye from the viewfinder.- Battery life is very reasonable and typically gets me through a day of heavy shooting- I love the customizations that can be assigned not only to Function Buttons but also to the U1, U2, and U3 setting dials. It is like having three cameras in one.When you consider the enormous choice for lenses, both the F mount and now the Newer Z mount, you have a formidable photography tool.Dislikes: Unless one like to Nik-pic Last but not least - Nikon continues to improve the camera's performance through firmware updates for free.

I’ve had a great experience with the Nikon Z 7II. Build quality is excellent. The menus are somewhat difficult to navigate until they are learned, but I am able to change settings as required without too much problem. My wish list is as follows:1. It’s a challenge to use focus shift shooting because the instructions are not clear and as often as not the focus stack has images in which focus isn’t shifted. 2. Autofocus for quickly moving subjects (birds, small animals, etc) is difficult to achieve. Bird and vehicles recognition capability from the Z 9 would be helpful in a firmware update. Also, when using wide area small or large, occasionally autofocus loses the subject and will not reacquire it. Again, a firmware update based on Z 9 capability would be helpful. Overall I am quite happy with my purchase and I am a dedicated Nikon customer. I love the growing family of Z mount lenses. Keep them coming!

After about a year I continue to have my expectations exceeded. Switching up from a Nikon D750 and D810. As I continue to explore various features I have found a number of nice surprises. I have used the Z7II with a number of lenses, including quite a few F mount. These include old Nikkor and Dyne macro manual focus lenses and FTZ where focus peaking is a big help. Also using the Nikkor 200-500mm and FTZ for wildlife. Latest lens acquisition is a Z MC 105mm, which is pretty remarkable. Setting up a custom menu is a time saver, as I tend to switch to DX crop with the 200-500mm for distant wildlife, and then switch back again. I would tend to recommend the FTZ II since it can be less troublesome with a tripod mount adapter. I continue to be very happy with the Z 7II.

Excellent Image quality, Great dynamic range. I don't do BIF The Focusing is just fine for my needs.Would I like to see some improvements? Sure, but this is a great camera and properly set up you can do almost anything with it. I don't need a Z9, but I may be tempted on a Z8 if you ever comes to market with the Z7II as a second. I have used Nikon equipment since the 70's and have always been happy them them.

I wanted a lighter camera so it fits the bill. I still like my 850 better.

The first few months with my Z7II I used my F mount gold ring lenses. The image quality of this combination was a major step up from my D3s and D810. A few months later I was able to purchase my two main kit lenses the Z 14-24mm f 2.8 S and the Z 70-20mm f2.8 S. These Z lenses in combination with the Z7II body have made my images clearer, sharper and more detailed that any camera/ lens combination I have ever used. I know that my wide shots will be sharp edge to edge. My telephoto shots are clear and clean without any distortion. And I have no complaints about the video I shot with both lenses. The processing and programmability of the Z7II is a major step up for me. I hope that Nikon continues to add firmware updates for this camera. Little by little the autofocus keeps improving. I would highly recommend the Z7II for anyone wanting to upgrade.
