Full Nikon Z7 Review at Dpreview: “extremely well-rounded digital camera”

Dpreview published the full and final Nikon Z7 review:

The Nikon Z7 is an extremely well-rounded digital camera and suitable for a wide range of photographic and video needs. It packs outstanding image quality and very good 4K video in a lightweight, well-built package with in-body image stabilization. Autofocus is slightly less reliable than the competition and the buffer can be limiting for fast action, but overall, the Z7 is a pleasure to shoot with.

Nikon Z6 and Z7 first look by Kinotika

Kinotkia:

We were lucky enough to have a meeting with Dirk from Nikon to give us a first look at the new Z6 and Z7 from Nikon! These mirrorless cameras are potentially going to be better than the competition and we cant wait to get our hands on them soon. We have a Z6 on pre order so hopefully we will have it this month!

Dpreview: Five ways the Nikon Z7 could be improved

Dpreview listed five things Nikon has to improve on the Z7:

It’s AF where we’ve seen the most serious issues with performance. Unexpectedly, the native Z lenses we’ve tried appear to focus more slowly and less predictably than adapted F-mount lenses too (though to their credit they are silent to focus in video).

In most other respects the Z7 is an impressive camera. We’re optimistic that where we have concerns, Nikon can address some of them via firmware, and others via new dedicated flash accessories. Our other concerns? Perhaps we’ll just have to wait for a Z8.
