not a bad camera by any means, but in need of some refinements. Potentially DSLR-killing photographic quality is crippled by poor autofocus and controls which, on the whole, meet expectations.
This is an excellent start for Nikon entering the mirrorless market. It obviously has it's flaws but has so much to offer if you can look passed them. The biggest issue people have is that there is only 1 card slot. I personally don't have an issue with this since I carry my D850 with me just in case and use the Z7 for mostly personal work/enjoyment. In low light it performs well and is surprisingly great at higher iso's. The autofocus takes some getting used to but it is so nice to be able to have nearly the entire area to place your focus points. So goodbye focus and recompose. The EVF is very clear and nice. It is a little brighter than what your actual exposure is so thats a minor issue I have with the camera as well. Sure you can dim or brighten the EVF in the settings but it is never perfect.
I think this is a fantastic camera. Obviously there can be a few improvements but for me personally, I am happy with my purchase so far. Having a few nikon lenses already, i did not have to take a loss by switching to the competitors. The camera feels good, performs great, and is weather sealed. I live in the PNW so this is important to me. I lool forward to future Z mount lenses that will be released and for what Nikon learns and improves from this!
Think of the Z7 as the new D760. All the sweet handling of a 750 with the output of an 850. And 3 “U” banks! Image quality is as good as or better than the 850. Nikkor F lenses’ AF speed is as fast as the 850 and perhaps a little more accurate. The Sony XQD card gobbles up the 60MB, 14 bit NEFs at a remarkably fast rate. The 24 – 70 lens is super sharp wide open. Belying its lite weight and small size. The FTZ lens adapter works seamlessly with no performance penalty.
The viewfinder is VERY close to the excellent viewfinders of the 750 and 850 with lots of add-on features. The VR is much better than either the 750 or 850. You can get the full resolution benefits of the sensor, while hand holding the camera. In summary: the Z7 is a small, fast handling camera that turns out remarkable results. The downside: Currently there is only one program that lets you use the Z7’s 14 bit NEFs in Photoshop. That is Nikons new ViewNX-i program. It is as slow as it ever, and only produces very large TIFFs. I’m sure Adobe is working on that problem. There are some Nikkor lenses that, as yet, don’t work with the Z7. For instance the DX 10.5mm. Some third party lenses suffer performance lags. For instance, the Tamron 45mm f1.8 hunts a lot in lower light. The Z7’s very low light (available darkness) AF performance is good, but not as good as the 850’s.
s is basically what we’ve been hoping for, a d850 but smaller. It has a lot more potential for recording video than any previous Nikon. I’m still adjusting to it, I’d say this is a really solid camera and much more convenient than the boat I’m replacing.
I’ve had the Nikon D700, D750, and D800 when they came out the first time and used them for many years. This model is a big step forward. Out of the box, the picture quality, focus speed, and quietness when taking pictures are the first few things I liked about this model. I’m sure the new built in image stabilization and faster processor are all factors in getting that incredible image. I still have to tweak the configurations and settings but so far I’m already impressed.
I have gripes about the xqd memory card and the lack of an extra slot in the camera. I bought two 256g xqd card to compensate for it. My other gripe is the battery capacity that will allow about 250+ shots. A big dissappointment considering the D850 can take thousand before the battery is drained. Don’t like the price buf can’t blame Nikon for jacking up the price for their first mirrorless full frame camera. I’m sure it will go down after all the demand slows down. I’m giving it 5 stars because of the many things I really like, inspite of some of it’s shortcomings.
