I shoot corporate portraiture for a living. I love the large chip for retouching and composition work. The more res, the more I like it.    I tether my Z7ii to my laptop using CaptureOne, which I also use to process the skin tones from the RAW files.   The color and the resolution are amazing.   There are a couple of quirks I watch.  1. I purchased the Nikon battery grip.  Good thing is charging the camera with the Tether cord between shoots.  Bad thing.. The grip can loosen up and you'll get an error message when firing the camera. Check that the thumbscrew is TIGHT...   Still, I'm super happy with it and when shooting editorial on location in low light, the hi ISO does a great job with color, and shadow detail.

Nikon Z7ii - Short review

Traded up from a Z6ii. It's pretty affordable for what you get.  Since most of your investment should be in lenses, you can always move up to a Z8 or Z9 and keep the lenses. The Z7ii can use most of the same accessories as the Z6ii, including the dual battery grip (which you'll want if you want to match D850 battery capacity). Similar image quality to the D850, but handles differently (and takes some getting used to). Z7ii also does a better job with video than either of older D750 or D850 (esp. w/maintaining focus).

Z7ii is a great bargain

I am new to both Nikon and mirrorless. The camera works as claimed. It's responsive and easy to use, and there is not much of a learning curve from Pentax. (Fotodiox makes a nice manual Pentax K to Nikon Z lens adapter that allows you to adjust the aperture manually.) The availability of lenses, image quality, and AF are all just fine for my purposes. Adorama gave me a very nice deal on this, and shipping was quick.

Happy with it

Connects seamlessly.

Better quality than D800, but still not ideal. Sometimes focusing is a challenge.

Better but not best

The Nikon Z7ii is an excellent choice for photographers seeking a high-resolution, full-frame mirrorless camera. With its 45.7 MP sensor, it delivers exceptional image quality, sharpness, and dynamic range, making it perfect for landscape and portrait photography. The dual EXPEED 6 processors ensure fast performance, with a solid 10 fps continuous shooting speed. The autofocus system is highly accurate, even in low light, and the eye-detection AF works well for both humans and animals. The camera's build quality is robust and weather-sealed, ideal for shooting in various conditions. The Z7ii also offers dual card slots, which is a significant improvement over its predecessor. While it lacks some advanced video features, the 4K recording is still quite good. Overall, the Z7ii is a powerful, versatile camera that excels in both stills and video for professionals and serious enthusiasts alike.

Excellent mirrorless camera

I love the Nikon Z 7II because it's light and easy to carry on hikes across the Blue Ridge mountains.  This being my first mirrorless camera allows me to quietly take photos without distractions. I decided to start with the kit lens rather than using an adapter for my older Nikkor lenses.  The quality is very good for my landscape photos.  I'm glad I made the move from my DSLR.  By the way, I got a good trade in price from Adorama for my Nikon D7500.

Light & Quiet

Been waiting to switch to mirrorless and this camera is perfect. Huge sensor, amazing autofocus capabilities, and lightweight, it is impressive. The lens, while only a F4, is a great all around lens for a nonprofessional. Despite the hefty price tag, it is worth it!

Z 7II is Impressive

Great mirrorless camera. My first mirrorless and a decent step up from my previous DSLR, (Nikon D750). The transition was smooth and easy, (nominal learning curve). Besides the mirrorless features, the Z 7ii is lighter weight, double megapixels and the camera is a decent step into professional level photography. 
   One consideration, however, is the unexpected presence of the new, state of the art (for 2024 at least) upgraded storage, (CFExpress Type B). I wasn't aware of this type of storage when I bought the camera. I ended up having to  acquire a new card reader for the CFExpress (let the buyer be aware). One other consideration is that my D750 battery is not compatible even though at first glance it looked like it would be. 
   On the plus side, the lens adapter allows me the ability to continue to use my older Nikon compatible lenses. This is huge and I really look forward to my photo trips over the year(s).

Easy Switch from Mirror to Mirrorless

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.

A camera that gets better every time it's used.

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.)

Fits My Needs Perfectly

Z7II is a great camera with the FTZII adapter. I can still use all my F-series Nikon lenses. Although my camera is so automatic, I choose to shoot in manual mode. I love this camera.

Z 7II - A wonderful camera

Z7II is a great camera and  with the FTZII adapter can still use all my F-series Nikon lenses.
Big upgrade from my D5200.
Speed and features are amazing

Z7II

Straight to the chase?
This is an amazing camera. I worked for years the the iconic D850. Everything you read about both is true?.but this is finally a wonderful technical upgrade. Ergonomically I still like the feel of the 850, but I don't need to spend $4000 to get the Z-8 for that though I would like to have some of the Z-8s autofocus improvements. The Z-7ii is fantastic!

Superb

I love my new Z7II - it is fast lightweight and has mega megapixels - easy to learn to use 
Cant wait to take with me on Safari in Tanzania 
Still learning all of the functions - I have a Z5 and this is just a step up from that one with more advanced features higher pixel count and ability to film in slow motion

Great Camera

It's a super camera , I love Nikon - the only camera  company - or the company makes only cameras.
When I wanted to upgrade to D850 , from D810 - have waited for some time to decide - and finally bought the z7 II.
I have attended 2 events after that , and have received lots of appreciation, and recently added 24-120 f/4 and the combination was a super hit .
The camera was so light , still managing the f lenses I have to use with the Ftz adapter .
I found a solution for battery power - attach a powepack., while it charges the battery too . 
The issue is that the internal battery getting charged only when the camera is off , it's fine though . May be there should be a firmware upgrade ! 
Thank you Nikon .

Super light yet Powerful Camera

Upgraded from my D850 with pleasure. Lighter and equally good in 99% of the categories I need it to be. Dynamic range is super vs Z7 and am very pleased. One thing I'd ask for is a ME 'final' img. in RAW format rather than JPG. D850 gave me RAW MEs. Hard to get over that, but I will persevere. Great camera, Nikon - thank you very much.

A work-a-holic body and lighter than D850.

Upgraded my D750 to this Z7II and it is a game changer when shooting sessions. The live screen and Eye focus is amazing.

LOVE LOVE

My Z7II is really great and with the FTZII adapter, I can use all my old F-series Nikon lenses.  Be warned, however, the Z7II uses up a lot of battery power (you cannot just look through the viewfinder and see any image without the camera being on), so use a Nikon MB-N10 battery pack and get several extra batteries (use the EN-EL15c).  Also, the average JPG size I can get is around 13-14MBytes, so I really don't know how Nikon can claim its a 46-48Mb camera.  Still, its way improved from my old D200.

Wonderful camera, but it does take a lot of battery power.

Great camera, still learning many of the features and settings. Great pictures and I like the overall size compared to my old 850 :)

Fun camera and I still have much to learn

This is my second Z7ii.  I love the size.  Deciding the D850 was just too heavy for me, I purchased the Z7ii and, as I basically photograph stationary subjects, it has worked well for me. The times I photograph action, the Z7ii has not disappointed.  The Z8 is now available and, as much as I would like its sensor capabilities, it is the size of the D850 although slightly lighter in weight. So, needing a backup camera, I purchased another Z7ii. Again, I love the size.

Love its Weight and Size

The Z7 II is years old by now, and everyone who cares about cameras/photography already knows it's autofocus wasn't up to the latest standards when it first entered the market. It's AF performance has been far outpaced by the Z9, and Z8 not to mention by camera's from other manufacturers. On that point, there have been a few occasions over the 2 plus years I've owned it, while photographing people that the AF has let me down. Given the amount of "keepers" I achieved despite the occasional frustration with AF, I think the AF is better than it's given credit for, but still not up to the bar Sony/Canon AF set. Shooting the Z7 II for approximately 2.5 years, I do not feel a need to upgrade (the itis!) for better autofocus. Not that I would mind better AF, but I get the shots I want to get just fine with the Z7 II. I shoot lots of landscape, nature, and portraits and after many clicks of the shutter, I'm still often dazzled by the image quality when I nail the shot. Marvelous dynamic range, incredible sharpness and detail, great color and tonality. The files are very malleable (to use a metal term) and manageable size wise.  No, I certainly wouldn't choose this camera for dedicated sports photography but in a pinch, you'd be surprised. I recently shot a benefit five mile run and came away with many great shots. As I don't often shoot sports, or fast moving subjects, a lot of the shots I missed probably had more to do with my inexperience than a failure of the AF system. I'm positive someone with more experience would have gotten more useable shots than I did. I was happy with what I got and I delivered on what was asked of me, so the Z7 II came through in a genre that isn't it's forte. The image stabilization also works great. Again, probably not the best in the business, but I can get sharp shots hand held up to about 1.5 seconds give or take, and occasionally even slightly longer when I'm really going for it. I have pretty steady hands, most of the time. This camera has superb size and weight for use as a "walk around", or street photography camera. If you use one of the pancake style, or smaller lenses in the mirrorless lineup you can be fairly discreet on the street. The Z7 II fits well in my hand, is comfortable to use for an entire day out shooting, and is my perfect photography companion. I have spent all day out shooting with it attached to a strap without discomfort or complaint many times. I think it's also attractive as far as camera's go. It's no Hasselblad X2D in the looks department, but it's handsome nonetheless. The only desire I have for another (along side the Z7 II, not in place of it) camera is to own a digital medium format model. Why, if the Z7 is so good, you ask? For the 16 bit color depth, larger sensor size, different aspect ratio and in last place of priority, the 100MPs. Either the Hasselblad X2D100C, or the recently released FujiFilm GFX 100 II. Those, however are wants, not needs as the Z7 II gets the job done for me, and I think the sensor in it is one of the all time greats in full frame terms. Even if I got one of those medium format, 102MP cameras, I'd keep the Z7 II because it's that good when it comes to outright image quality, and I would not need 102MP of resolution all the time. Why write a review for a camera that's a few years old, and has outmoded/outdated AF? Because it's image quality is fantastic and at it's current price, is an absolute bargain in the best possible way. Happy shooting! Whichever brand/model camera you shoot with, I hope you are as happy with it as I am with the Z7 II.

Exceptional image quality in the full frame realm.

Took a significant technological leap from my days using a film based SLR to the Z7ii. I finally have the time to learn this camera inside and out. So far I've captured some special sports and scenic photos that impressed . I chose the Z7ii based on its technology, its price point, and the potential to take my passion to new levels.

Elevating my photography game entering retirement

I had been contemplating the move from DSLR to mirrorless for a while, but didn't have a reason to switch until my D750's shutter stopped working.  Sent the D750 into repair but couldn't stomach not having a camera for weeks, so I rented a Z6.  Definitely was impressed!  Then I did the research between the Z6ii and Z7ii and I the resolution upgrade of the Z7ii sold me for my type of photography (landscape and macro).  I have been absolutely and totally impressed with the Z7ii!!  Not only because of the amazing resolution, but also the touchscreen, more focus points... the feel... all of it.  And! It is so nice to have a lens adapter so I don't have to reinvest in lenses.  A great buy for sure!

Beyond happy!

Love, love, love the low light capabilities!  As a concert photographer, there has never been a better beast of a camera.  I still love my 750s but I'm leaning on this z7 II more and more.

Great for concert photography

Upgrading from my 13 year old D7000 I was torn between the D850 and Z 7ii. After lots of research and weighing the pros and cons of each I am happy with my switch to the mirrorless world. Being able to use f-mount lenses with the FTZ adapter was a key component since some lenses I need are not yet available on z-mount.

Some major concerns I had when switching over were reduced battery life during multi-day excursions, switching to a digital viewfinder (also shortening battery life), and the problems associated with "rolling shutter" when using mirrorless.

1 - Battery doesn't seem to be much of an issue because you can charge straight through the USB-C port. I still need to carry around a second battery as 1 seems to last around 700 frames currently (airplane mode, power saving, very short screen timeout, etc. really trying to optimize battery life) but over night while camping I am able to plug directly into a power bank and have it charged by morning. The battery is 2280mAh meaning a small 8000mAh power bank will provide 3 charges (2.5 to be safe) and charging takes 2-3 hours with 2.1a output. 

2- The digital viewfinder has been a very easy adjustment. Being able to see a histogram right on screen really helps keep clipping to a minimum. I do find colour temperature to be a little off sometimes from what my eye sees but after coming home and processing everything seems to be very accurate. the eye tracking is very nice for both people and wildlife. The ability to focus to the full edge of the image is also super helpful. Autofocus also working down to -4.0 EV is really nice when working at the brink of dusk and dawn.

3- Rolling shutter... the dreaded words of mirrorless and something I would just have to learn to deal with if making the switch. A number of salespeople at my local camera store all failed to mention that most (if not all?) mirrorless cameras still use mechanical shutter under certain conditions. If you aren't aware, rolling shutter is what happens when using ONLY the electronic shutter, which records the sensor line by line. This creates problems in LED and fluorescent-lit rooms (banding in lights), torn bird winds, or torn animal legs. You can google this and see what this is. HOWEVER, there are options to still use mechanical curtains to eliminate this problem. I really wish this was explained to me while comparing the D850 and Z 7ii but I also wish this was more apparent on Nikon's website.

Overall the cons I had heard about or read online have not been a problem for the month I have owned the camera. Having used a D850 in the past I feel like I've made the right choice in switching over to mirrorless. Although there are some 'pros' of the D850 over the Z 7ii there really isn't 'much' reason to steer away from mirrorless. There is a lot of power in a small package.

Making the switch to mirrorless

I came from a D850 the camera heavier than the Z7II I loved the D850, but the Z7II has perfect eyes detect and fast focus on live view shooting, in events the live view helped me a lot.

Good step up to mirrorless

I came from a D850 which I loved but as I age, the camera got heavier.  I loved the 850, but when the Z7ii came out, I was able to get one right away.  I love the Z7 even more.  It's size and capabilities are superb.  I like the new line of lenes better also.  I started out with the 24-200mm and got the 105mm Macro and then the 100-400mm for the air shows.

The Z7ii - Another Winner from Nikon

I've only had this camera for a few weeks and it is my first professional level digital camera. I'm most familiar with Linhofs and Mamiya RB67s (film cameras), but I had to make the switch to digital. This camera offers more bells and whistles than I need right now, but man the images are SHARP!  I studied up on various digi-cams before making my decision and I feel confident that I made the right choice. I started with the Z7II body with the 24-120 f4 'S'  zoom rather than the 24-200 VR or 24-70 f4 S.  The 14-30 f4 S zoom will likely be next to purchase.

I watched a couple of product videos and they were a huge help to familiarize myself with the camera and highly recommend others to watch those. A friend of mine has a Z5 and he was helpful as well.

So far, so very good.

I feel confident that I made the right choice

I recently sold my D850 and bought the Z7 II. I am so happy I made this upgrade. My backpack was already heavy so I didn't really like lugging that D850 and all those heavy lenses around. This Z7 II with Z lenses makes my backpack so much lighter. It's fantastic. And the picture quality is beyond amazing. When I took the first set of pictures with this camera I was shocked at the quality. I love this camera and don't regret replacing the D850 with this at all. I very much recommend giving the Z7 II a try if you are on the line with moving to mirrorless.
