Great camera that is still relevant in 2023

Nikon has done some great things with the Z7 that keeps it competitive in 2023. For one, the firmware update brought a highly responsive eye tracking feature which helps me out in portrait photography. It still struggles a bit on focusing a subject in low light condition but the eye tracking makes up for it. Come from a D800, which is no slough, the Z7 is a nice upgrade. Now my images are sharper than before. Docked a star because the only card it accepts is CFExpress Type B. My current magazine of memory cards are SDXC or CompactFlash.

Banding, no Remote socket at front for L bracket use, tilt screen only in one axis, poor AF

Generally the el cheapo - bluff model. Banding can show up very easily, especially when exposure blending with luminosity masks. Avoid. A dumbed down D850 with significant flaws.

Great Camera

Love this camera. It is a great addition to my gear. I rented the Z7ii for a week before jumping into the mirrorless arena. I can't find any difference between the Z7 and Z7ii. I had to download a new firmware version to accommodate the lens mount, but it wasn't difficult.

The best camera

The easiest to use most perfect camera I have ever owned. Not to large, not heavy, excellent viewfinder or just use the back screen, excellent auto focus and great subject tracking in video mode.

Z7 is helping me be a better photographer

Photography is a hobby. I've only had the Z7 a few weeks and I'm still getting used to it. This week I was photographing butterflies and hummingbirds. Of course, they don't hold still and pose, so I did the typical "spray and pray" and hoped to find a few nice images when I got home. I was thrilled to find every photo was in focus! Now I can't wait until my next outing.

Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camer.

This camera is all I need for the type of photography that I need. I did not want to pay the extra money for the newest version just to gain two card slots and some extra speed. The pictures that I get from this camera are outstanding.

Love my new Nikon Z7

I absolutely love my Nikon Z7. Shopping with Efraim at Adorama was a pleasure. The camera is a significant upgrade to my D7000. I also purchased two Nikkor lenses so the whole package was a significant investment and well worth it. I didn?t realize the camera is a computer that can be updated via software - wow! The images are super sharp and, if you?re a Nikon user, the learning curve isn?t bad at all. I?ve been out and about a few times just testing different conditions and I?m having a great time.

Age makes this camera more interesting and capable.

I'll be straight and honest about this camera and I'm not going to sugar coat anything. When I initially received this camera back in 2018, I was a bit disappointed with its AF performance. The AF tracking was clunky and tedious to enable and it wasn't on par as far as performance goes with my D850 as I was initially expecting. However, that didn't make me give up this camera. I didn't let the handicaps hinder my passion for taking shots with it. I tried to find a work around on some functions that wasn't working for me. Sometimes we as photographers got so spoiled with technology that we forget the skills we acquired because we mostly let the camera do most of the work for us. In the beginning of photography our fore-fathers never had such luxuries as what we enjoy today. But they were able to use their cameras despite the lack of technological help. I'd like to think this camera as that, however as time goes, I'm enjoying this camera more and more. It brings me back to the basics and allows for me to improve my craft. And as Nikon continually supports and provides firmware upgrades to further improve this camera, it is making it more compelling to use. I'd like to compare it to wine; as it ages it becomes better and better. So the question is: should you buy this camera? My answer is: An absolute YES!

Impressed.

I own a Nikon D810, D850 and now the Z7. The first feature that I love is the EVF that stands out the most for me. . This alone is worth the upgrade. I love the size and weight of the mirror less camera vs DSLR. Ive had it a little over a week so it will take more time for me to fall in love. Low light isn’t impressing me at all. I’ll wait another few weeks before I can truly review this amazing camera.

Price

Picture quality is amazing . It does not want to stay focused, or it is hard for it to stay focused on something moving. Needs battery grip with controls. D850 is still better.

Great Z7

The Z was a snap to set up, very similar to my D810. The camera balances well in hand, the buttons are located consistent with my D810. I'm using the FTZ adapter and my 24-70 f2.8 and 24 f1.4 G; each lens works flawlessly. The latest firm ware even allows me to use an old Tamron 70-200 (A009), I plan to update this lens with a new long Nikon Z. For architectural photography the flip screen has replaced the angle viewer and allows for shots close to the floor and walls. Along with the near silent release this camera is worlds better for interior photography. I highly recommend the Z7 for architecture and landscape photography.

Great camera for photojournalist.

I've been using Nikon camera since I was issued my D2 when I joined the Army. The Z7 works great for photojournalism and cooperate style videos. I love it.

Awesome and bulletproof camera. Takes a fall and keeps on shooting.

Fantastic camera and lens, just like all the reviews said. I haven’t had any issues with banding so far even with some dark photos but I’m sure they might be there for the really discriminate eye. But so far with my usage I have not seen any image issues at all. This body is also rocksolid as a tank or a brick house. Was in Brussels on my way to dinner and slipped on the cobblestones and fell right on top of the Camera with my 220 pound body. A couple of scratches and the lens hood cracked. Dented the Nikon UV lens filter I had on for protection. Also appears one of the knobs hit the ground during the fall. The Canera is perfectly functional, just replaced the lens filter (I always have one on for outdoors stuff just in case). Even with all that, still works like a champ. If you walk around outside with your camera you should get this Z7.

About Nikon Z7

FEATURED REVIEWS

Really great first full-frame mirrorless camera.

By mm1co

I got my Z7 on release day and have been very happy with it. The EVF is fantastic and is a real boon to people like me with bad near vision. When I use my D850 I can see through the viewfinder just fine because of the diopter adjustment, but I have to put on my reading glasses every time I want to review a photo on the back of the camera, or make menu changes. Very time consuming and annoying. With the Z7 I can do all that through the diopter corrected EVF. There are many great things about ...

Excellent camera. Light, powerful and well built.

By DANIEL M.

I spent a few hours with this camera and it's all that we've been waiting for. You can read all the specs on the internet, so I'll just point out a few things I noticed. The grip and overall size is very similar to the D750, maybe a little lighter and thinner. Grip is almost the same. The back LCD screen is about the same as the D850, only difference is that the hinges are a new mechanism, it doesn’t tilt down all the way like the D850 does. Maybe about a 40 degree angle, not bad, but I wo...

Our vision has always been to create cameras and lenses that capture more light. More light means more detail. More speed. More possibilities. The Z 7 brings that vision to life (and then some). Combining the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount and matched lenses, a Nikon designed 45.7MP image sensor and seamless integration with Nikon's DSLR system including the NIKKOR lenses you love the Z 7 is a camera unlike any before it. And yet, it's unmistakably a Nikon. This is mirrorless reinvented.
