Z 6II with Zoom Lens | Versatile full-frame mirrorless stills/video hybrid camera with 24-70mm f/4 lens | Nikon USA Model

I originally bought the GH5 and that camera is a ridiculously good workhorse. However, I shoot predominately consumer electronics, which means I shoot a lot of screens. The GH5, for all its greatness, doesn't have an anti-aliasing filter and that caused all kinds of ridiculous moire. So I sold it, did some research, and landed on the Nikon Z6 II. Super glad I did. For the record, I upgraded originally from the Nikon D5200, which I used with my trusty Sigma 17-50mm lens for many years. I used the GH5 for a month before I got this camera, which I've now had for about a week. Pros 1. Good, sharp photos (obviously lens dependent). I did most of my testing with the included Nikon 24-70mm F/4 and my old Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8 with the FTZ adapter. You can find way better photos by much better photographers on pro reviews or other Amazon reviews, but rest assured those reviewers are right. This camera takes excellent photos. 2. The auto-focus features are a bit outside of my wheelhouse (my subjects rarely move while I shoot them), but I did mess around a little bit. I don't know how it compares to its contemporaries, but it beats my old Nikon D5200 by margins I can't possibly overstate. 3. 4k60fps recording works perfectly. Mine came in the box with the software update already installed so I assume yours will too. I didn't have to do anything other than turn it on in the settings. Even with the crop, it's smooth, sharp, and easy to work with. 4. I've always liked Nikon's menu system. It's simple, easy, and effective. Coming from a previous Nikon, the menu is larger, with controls for modern features, but it's more or less the same layout as previous cameras, so it's familiar. 5. The ability to charge the battery in camera via USB-C is awesome. The ability to power the camera with one is even cooler. 6. I also like that I can connect the camera in a bunch of different ways (wifi, bluetooth, usb-c). Compared to old cameras, it's a massive difference. 7. The ability to have a clean HDMI-out and the ability to turn off sleep mode makes this a great webcam for streaming or similar use cases. Neutral 1. I appreciate that there are two card slots, but I'm not too keen on buying a new card type and a new adapter for my computer. Cons 1. Nikon is intentionally vague about the USB-C power stuff. They want you to buy a $60 wall charger with a USB-C end. However, you basically just need a 15W power brick with USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and it'll get the job done, and you can find those on Amazon for vastly less money. 2. Having the play and delete buttons on the left side makes the camera difficult to use one-handed. Not the biggest deal, but ergonomics matter. Finally, a word about OLPF or an "anti-aliasing filter". This is an electronic component that, to over-simplify, knocks things ever so slightly out of focus to help avoid moire. It's a technology that does work wonders, especially if you shoot a lot of video or photo of things with screens, like smartphones, computer screens, etc. The Nikon Z6 II has one (the Z7 II does not). If you're here and you're considering a career in tech vlogging/journalism, I would put this toward the top of your "maybe" list for that reason alone. Sharp photos and video with the filter is a difficult combo to find. Overall, this camera is bonkers good. When I asked about it on Reddit, someone there challenged me to find a negative review. Turns out, negative reviews of this camera are exceedingly rare. It does well in low light, regular light, and intense light. The controls are good, the ergonomics are mostly good, the video capture is great, and it's just an all-around powerful workhorse camera. I also tried the kit lens. It's nice and sharp, and I actually like the part where the barrel compacts and locks for travel. I'll likely use it most of the time since it's a tad sharper than my Sigma, but if the lighting gets difficult, I have no problem switching back to the f/2.8. The kit lens is really good, and getting it at a $400 discount with the bundle is a smart idea unless you already have an outstanding zoom lens, in which case getting a second is redundant. Finally, a recommendation. If you buy this camera, at MINIMUM, you should consider getting the combo with the FTZ adapter. That gives you access to many older Nikon F-Mount lenses, since the Z-Mount is still kind of new. Buying the adapter separate costs $250, but Nikon reduces the price to $99 if you buy it when you buy a Z-mount camera (Z50, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z6 II, Z7 II, etc). The deal is available straight from Nikon, here on Amazon, or virtually anywhere else you can buy the camera. It functionally triples the number of lenses you can buy (including some really decent cheaper options, like the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8). Anyway, this camera is fantastic. Most of the other reviews touch on the kit lens and camera image/video quality, so I wanted to focus mine on some of the technicals and niche stuff. This camera is excellent. I'm happy to have it.

I upgraded from my Nikon D750 to this new model, and I have zero regrets — the image quality is absolutely incredible. It’s a noticeable jump in performance, especially in low light and autofocus speed. The dynamic range and color depth are also much better, and I love how intuitive the controls feel coming from the D750. It’s everything I wanted and more. If you’re thinking about upgrading, don’t hesitate. This camera delivers professional-level results and makes photography even more enjoyable. ✅ Outstanding image quality ✅ Fast and accurate autofocus ✅ Great upgrade from the D750

I owned the Z6 and Z6 and actually rather liked them. The Z6 II is a nice upgrade. It is a well built very nice handling camera that makes you want to take pictures. Paired with Z f/4 24 to 70 lens it is an excellent camera being easy to handle and relatively compact. This camera produces excellent out of camera jpgs and, with the improved autofocus, it is easy to get tac sharp pictures. I went for the Z6 II rather than the Z7 II since I already had a camera that provided high resolution photographs and I wanted an easy to use, high quality camera. Pros: 1. High quality weather proofed camera body that handles well. 2. Excellent out of camera jpgs. 3. 2 card slots (a nice improvement over the Z6/Z7. 4. Excellent quality Z lenses which are high quality. 5. Easy access to most features via a touch screen with well designed menus. 6. Good low light performance. Cons: 1. Focus tracking is a little tricky at times and it loses the subject more easily than my other cameras. 2. No 70 to 200mm f/4 Z lens. (This is my biggest issue, there is a variable aperture non S series Z lens 24 to 240 mm but this does not match the quality of the S series 24 to 70 mm f/4 lens) (S lenses are the highest quality equivalent to the L series from Canon). 3. Concern about the long term viability of Nikon (I am sure they will survive but in what form, they seem to be contracting). Overall I love this camera but that missing Z mount S series 70 to 200mm f/4 is a problem for me (I go for the f/4 lenses and not the f/2.8 lenses due to cost and size).

Had old Nikon DSLR , used it for several years. This one is several level up. Amazing features , sharpness , quality . Loving it. Very good for nightscape photography

No había querido iniciar con cámaras mirrorless pero la practicidad y ligereza de los equipos me convenció junto con la excelente oferta con la que compré. Al final estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra y me convenció la practicidad de la cámara, especialmente el hecho de que puede cargarse con conexión USB, lo cual me evita tener que llevar el cargador de baterías en un viaje .

La mejor cámara de formato completo Mirrorless. Pros: Enfoque muy rápido hasta con poca luz, doble procesador, mayor número de fps, muy buena para video, agarre excelente y cómodo, una cámara para hacer cosas profesionales. Ahora con doble ranura una Sd y otra para CFexpress Contras: Cada vez hay más lentes para la montura Z pero se necesitan más fabricantes como sigma y Tamron. El precio si es algo elevado por solamente el cuerpo. La batería dura un poco más pero no Como una reflex. Conclusiones: Si necesitas una cámara que cubra fotografía y video de más alto de nivel que el de entrada esta Z6ii no te hará dudar, pero si tendrás qué gastar algo más por sus ópticas originales pero de excelente calidad.

Tudo certo com o equipamento e a entrega dentro do prazo.

This camera was a fantastic upgrade from my D750. The autofocus is astounding by comparison, and it's brilliant in low lighting situations. Came very fast and in perfect condition too
