The Nikon Z7II is a high-end full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) produced by Nikon, and is the successor to the Nikon Z7.[2][3] The camera was officially announced on October 14, 2020, alongside the Nikon Z6II, and became available for purchase on November 5. It uses Nikon's Z-mount system.
Features
[edit]- The most notable upgrade over the Nikon Z7 is the inclusion of a second memory card slot. The Z7II features an SD card slot and a CFexpress/XQD card slot.
- The camera features dual Expeed 6 image processing engines, a first for Nikon cameras. This improves autofocus performance and enables 4K video recording at 60 fps.
- Low light sensitivity has been improved to -3 to +17 EV.
- The frame rate for photos is increased from 9 fps in extended high-speed continuous to 10 fps with a larger buffer as well (increased from 23 12-bit lossless RAW files to 77).
- The electronic viewfinder refresh rate and blackout time is improved from the original Z7.
- The autofocus system has improved with a new Wide-Area AF option with eye autofocus for both people and animals.
- Battery life has been increased from ~330 to ~360 CIPA-rated shots (or from 85 min to 105 min of video recording).
- In video recording, the camera can now record 4K "Ultra HD" footage at 60p with a 1.08x crop.[4]
