Nikon Z7 review: Great photos, great video, imperfect autofocus

 

Nikon has made a solid debut of its all-new full-frame mirrorless Z-Mount system with the Z7. It handles full-frame 4K video surprisingly well, with high-quality 10-bit external output and no cropping, plus 120 fps 1080p. The new mount will allow Nikon...

Great 10-bit full-frame 4K video ; In-body stabilization ; Wide choice of lenses with adapter ; Good ergonomics ; Excellent image quality

Mediocre autofocus subject tracking ; Single card slot uses non-standard XQD format ; Touchscreen display doesn’t flip around

So who won the debut mirrorless full-frame camera shootout between Nikon and Canon? I'd have to give the initial trophy here to Nikon. Discounting the higher resolution and price, the Z7 is a better all-around camera. It's easier to shoot with, has...

45.7MP full-frame image sensor. ; 90 percent autofocus coverage. ; 9fps continuous drive. ; In-body stabilization. ; Tilting touch LCD. ; Superb EVF. ; Works with Nikon SLR lenses and accessories. ; 4K video. ; Weather sealing. ; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Autofocus could be better. ; Lens control ring system is too sensitive. ; Single memory card slot. ; Omits PC sync socket.

The Z 7 is the best full-frame mirrorless camera for photographers invested in the Nikon system, but some quirks prevent it from attaining class-leading status.

Nikon Z 7

 

The Z 7 is the best full-frame mirrorless camera for photographers invested in the Nikon system, but some quirks prevent it from attaining class-leading status.

45.7MP full-frame image sensor. 90 percent autofocus coverage. 9fps continuous drive. In-body stabilization. Tilting touch LCD. Superb EVF. Works with Nikon SLR lenses and accessories. 4K video. Weather sealing. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Autofocus could be better. Lens control ring system is too sensitive. Limited native lens selection at launch. Single memory card slot. Omits PC sync socket.

Bottom Line: The Z 7 is the best full-frame mirrorless camera for photographers invested in the Nikon system, but some quirks prevent it from attaining class-leading status.

Nikon Z7 Review

 

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.

The relevant sections of this review, including the scoring, have been updated to reflect the AF behavior and performance of Firmware V3.0, released Feb 2020.

Nikon's Z7 and Z6 mirrorless cameras are a refined pleasure

 

After some hands-on time with NIkon's first full-frame mirrorless, we love it -- warts and all.

Nikon Z7 First Impressions Review

 

Nikon's Z7 is the first camera to use the all-new Z-mount, the company's first new full-frame mount since 1959. We've put together our first impressions based on quality shooting time with a pre-production camera - check out what we've found.

Nikon Z7

 

What We Love. The Nikon Z7 distills (almost) everything we love about the D850 DSLR into a smaller-yet-still-ergonomic body featuring the brand new 55mm Z-mount, 5-axis vibration reduction, and Nikon's best video autofocus ever. With weather sealing...

Nikon Z7 Review

 

There’s absolutely no doubt that Nikon users have been waiting for a viable mirrorless option for some time now. The ill-fated Nikon 1 series certainly didn’t tick the right boxes for the vast majority of pro photographers, while the Z7 finally feels...

Familiar design in a compact form; Rugged build quality; Gorgeous EVF; Excellent image quality; Good autofocus; In-body image stabilization; Good 4K video recording.

Single card slot; Not as good at subject tracking as some Nikon DSLR cameras; Limited native lens selection (although adapter works well); Limited buffer depths.
