Just snagged a Z6ii... to my surprise after sifting through all the "influencer" jargon, it was exactly what I needed... and I'm loving it! Exceptional color science & performance, phenomenal AF (and this after renting the Sony/Canon/Fuji counterparts). Great video, lovely location! Thanks.
@@splootan Not at all. They are both great cameras but the A74’s AF, MP’s, Eye detect, and 3rd Party lens support best the Z6ii and make it a better option for me. The only thing I miss is the rear LCD rez, but prefer the variable tilt on the Sony. Plus the A74 is far more customizable and I prefer it’s menu structure over Nikons.
After using D750 for years, I newly purchased a Z7ii and love it very much. By the way, not all Nikon lens are compatible to Z camera, as far as I know AF-S lens work well but not the older AF lens
Thanks for watching and stoked you are enjoying the camera. I have a bunch of D lenses that work no problem. But anything strictly manual aperture won’t work for sure.
@@BluePacificMedia Thanks a lot for your message and your video is excellent. I was referring to those old lens of Nikon with model name as AF, these lens are with auto aperture e.g. Nikon AF NIKKOR 80-400mm F4.5-5.6D ED VR (I have one) and it is working well with DSLR like D750 and D850 but not with Z machines, however, the next generation Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 G ED VR is working with Z camera. As far as I understand, I may be wrong, AF and AF-S lens of Nikon is different that AF-S lens are with motor built into the lens, AF lens rely on the camera body's motor, so AF-S lens are faster and quieter. I think the Z machines are not with motor at the camera body so they don't work with the AF lens.
Super video, you have said it all, the Z7 and Z7II are superb cameras and the Z lenses are fantastically sharp, I have been a Nikon shooter for 40 years and I am so glad I made the Mirrorless jump.
@@robeson1231 Hi,Yes, I had the D850 for about a year, beautiful camera, i would say the sensors are very similar it was the compactness of the Z system that drew me. Also the Z lenses are just superb.
@@douglasritchie2836 ahh thanks so much. Am still on the D850 (and D500). Am a wildlife photog so just wanna be sure I'm making an upwards move by shifting to mirrorless. And yes, everything I hear about the Z lenses is very positive 👍
@@robeson1231 Not sure I would switch to the Z system for wildlife right now. The tick is to keep the subject in the shot and the EVF of the Z7II still lags a bit in burst mode. Also no great Z zoom lenses yet. Personally, I would wait for the Z9 to come out as it seems like it will be a more action/wildlife focused body.
Just got this camera and still learning. I was a photographer in the military 30 years ago and this is my first camera since. Excited to start shooting! Thanks for the video!
I’m absolutely chomping at the bit to finally purchase this awesome bit of kit! I’ve researched the hell out of it and I haven’t heard anything bad yet! January sales here I come!👍
Awesome, yeah i still have no issues or hangups about this camera that I didn’t mention in the video. Grabbed my d750 the other day as a second camera and it felt like an old tired dinosaur 😂 thanks for watching and sharing the stoke!
Hi. I’m an enthusiast and taking photos as a hobby. I have the D5100 since 2013 with a few lenses. Now I have start thinking about this model as a huge upgrade. It looks so amazing and with so many capabilities.
I remember when "google" was just a funny name 😊 Fantastic real life review. So simple, charismatic and easy to understand. Very beautiful place to test and explain this fantastic camera.
🙏 thank you, really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment...absolutely love this little river trail, only found it recently and pretty much living there now 😂
Thanks. Useful review! Ordered one yesterday with the FTZ2 and MB-N11 battery pack/vertical grip (which is what sold me finally on the mirrorless, as I’d rented a Z7 and HATED the small form factor and lack of vertical shutter release as a long-time Nikon flagship DSLR user with big hands). Tons of nikon glass already, but I ordered the Nikkor Z 24-50mm for a potential “one travel lens” solution. Looking forward to getting the new kit and putting my mind to learning to use it.
I got my z6ii almost 2 weeks ago and I got used to the EVF as soon as I put my eye on it! I simply can't go back to the old VF. I really love my new camera!
Wonderfully explained in a wonderful setting. What could be more beautiful? For me, the Z7 II is a real powerhouse for photography and film. A hybrid camera that brings enough power for many use cases. On my photo adventure, I was happy. Because of the technology. But also because of what I experienced. Because in the end that's what counts: experiencing the situation. Best regards SLEH
Great review man. I believe you have just sold one. Shooting a D810 and D500 now. Thrilled about the FTZ mount. No immediate investment in new glass. Thank you
I've had the original Z7 since 2018 and can keep it longer and still be really happy, but I'll be in the position of being able to upgrade to the Z7 II soon and I'm looking forward to having that for another 5 years or so. We'll see. The original Z7 is a fantastic camera that makes outstanding images. I have a gallery full of wonderful images I love from my Z7. I'm really looking forward to the little changes they made in the Z7 II.
NICE ONE MATE I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT THIS AND YOU TAUGHT ME A FEW THINGS THAT I DIDNT KNOW. ALSO APPRECIATE THE NO NONSENSE REVIEW AND YOUR NEGY. THANKS AND SORRY FOR ALL CAPS LOL
Thanks for the amazing video. I've owned a Z6 for about a year now and I'm loving it. I shoot a lot of low light street photography and it does a really good job at that. I want to get more into Landscape photography so ill be picking up a Z7II here in a the next few days. Subbed!
Thank you for watching…I was on the fence about the z6 or z7 in the end i have dedicated video cameras already so the z7ii made better sense…appreciate the sub🙏🙏😊
I’ve just bought a Z7 ii after owning just about every camera on the market. So far so good. You are right though it’s designed for stills rather than video. I also bought the 50mm 1.8 S lens which is absolutely awesome. Nearly bought a Sony but too many issues with colour and menu system. Are you still using your Z7ii
Awesome! Yes i still use the z7ii, it is my main camera for all shoots now. Funnily i am lost when i go back to an older body like the d850 now. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience🙏😊

hello! I am planning to buy the z7ii and need to know if my tamron 18-400mm (dslr) works correctly with the z7ii + ftz adapter. It is a lens that I use a lot and I love.
@@drab_videos Yes it will work, as I have that lens as well, great isn't it. First of all though, you need to get a "Tamron Tap-In Console" This re-programmes the lens. Unfortunately its one of those things you buy and probably only use once. Are you in the UK ?
@@tectorama i’m from Spain, I tested the 18-400mm on a friend's z7 body with the ftz adapter and I think I remember that it worked fine without the “tamron tap in console”, shouldn't the same thing happen on a z7ii?
@@drab_videos thanks for watching, sorry i am not familiar with that lens, but i did see a list somewhere that said what lenses work…maybe on Tamron’s homepage.
I believe that almost all the newer SP lens from Tamron work now on the Z system with firmware updates - this is a list of the ones that I personally know work perfectly: The 24-70 2.8 G2; the 70-200 2.8 G2, the 35mm 1.8 VC; the 35mm 1.4; the 45mm 1.8 VC; the 85mm 1.8 VC and for DX the 18-400. I am not sure that they have yet gotten around to updating the 90mm 2.8 Macro and as Nikon has just released both the 50mm and 105mm native macros for Z today, maybe it doesn't matter. Thanks :)
Is there a difference between the Z-mount and the Zed mount? Mine is the Z but I am worried that maybe I might not have the right one🤓 Great review by the way. I am very happy with my Z6II and imagine the Z7II is also truly wonderful!
Thanks for the Video; fantastic information, my ownly comment was that I talked to Nikon about the IBIS and was told that when you turn the VR on, on the lens, the IBIS is disabled.
That must be a misinformation? I did some video on the Z6 ii handheld and saw big difference when turing the IBIS on or of in camera. And I always have it active on the lenses too. I would check that again.
@@kjetilsimonsen7180 all i can tell you is that i got it directly from Nikon tech support. If you put an f mount lens on the camera and turn off the VR, you will see that it is greyed and you can't change it. If you turn it on, on a lens that has two options, normal and sport, you will see either the normal or SPT on the camera.

Hey Adrian, I was in the same boat. I own the D500 and 850, and think they are the best DSLR’s around. 500 for Wildlife and 850 for landscapes. I have been wrestling with that decision, since I loved my 850. But I made the jump to the Z7 ii, and I have no regrets. I sold my 850, and it’s ok, lol. I thought I wouldn’t be able to let go. But once you start shooting with this, you will love it. Are there things to improve? Of course. But with the dual processors, you are looking at firmware upgrades that can continue for a while. So, it will only get better. Just my opinion, but I really am happy with it. 👍😎
Thank you for watching 🙏 i am by no stretch a wildlife photographer, birds in flight has always been a weakness for me, but the camera has worked as well and i think a little better then my older DSLR’s ( d750, d4, d800) did in that regard. The tracking is really good as long as the bird isn’t to small in the frame. I have a couple of bird shots in the video. I hope that helps.😊🙏
Yes, and no also. It isn’t robust like Z9 or even the older D3,4,5 etc. so it is probody in ability but if I was out in it and this was my only camera, I might be worried about it failing. Perfect under controlled use. Studio, landscapes etc. not so much as a bash about.
Use the Nikon D5 and D6 cameras and tried the Z6ii and z7ii mount camera in action, Sports and wildlife areas. I found the Z mount cameras were too slow in comparison to my D5/D6 for covering F1,Road Racing,Football, Rugby and battery life was rubbish
Just wondered if anyone knows if the Ziess Touit 35mm 1.8 lens would work with the z7ii with an adapter? (autofocus) Really hard to find info on this online, really appreciate any help 🙏🏻
Very down to earth, easy to understand review. You convinced me. I just placed an order for the Z7ii. I should receive it on Wednesday.
