Nikon Z 7 Reviews & Ratings

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 less reliable than the competition and the buffer can be limiting for fast action, but overall, the Z7 is a pleasure to shoot with.

With straight fives for features, build & handling and performance, the Nikon Z7 is an instant classic. It’s a superb (and superbly made) mirrorless camera.

The Nikon Z7 is not only their first full-frame mirrorless camera, it is also one of the company’s best cameras. Inside a sleek and compact mirrorless camera body, the high-res sensor delivers superb image quality, and its speedy processor delivers great all-around performance. Of course, there is room to grow and improve, and there aren’t many native lenses for the Z7 yet, but Nikon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera is an excellent one.

Ultimately the Z7 is an impressive start to the Z-system and one that’s very satisfying for a version-one product. Nikon’s hit the ground running with a camera I greatly enjoyed using and can easily recommend, especially so if you own existing F-mount lenses.

The Nikon Z7 may not be the prettiest camera, and it’s certainly not cheap either, but it’s still a formidable debut model in the Z system. With excellent image quality, great videos, lovely handling and a wonderful EVF, together with much-appreciated support for F-mount optics, Nikon has smashed our expectations with the Z7.

Nikon has made a solid debut of its all-new full-frame mirrorless Z-Mount system with the Z7. It handles full-frame 4K video surprisingly well, with high-quality 10-bit external output and no cropping, plus 120 fps 1080p. The new mount will allow Nikon to build sharp, compact lenses, even though the glass launched with the Z7 is pretty boring. Luckily, you can get an adapter that supports any F-Mount DSLR lens. Image quality with the 45.7-megapixel sensor is great, but unfortunately, autofocus tracking is slow and not up to par with Sony’s A7R III. If you need to buy a high-resolution full-frame camera today, Nikon’s Z7 is a great choice.

The Z7 may be the mirrorless camera to finally sway diehard DSLR fans

The Z 7 is the best full-frame mirrorless camera for photographers invested in the Nikon system, but some quirks prevent it from attaining class-leading status.

One of the finest cameras Nikon has ever made and a genuine alternative to Sony’s A7R III, the Z7 has more than exceeded our expectations of its first full-frame mirrorless camera.

The Nikon Z7 isn’t especially exciting in this growing sector of great full-frame mirrorless cameras, but it’s ease of use, stunning results and new Z series rangefinder make it a formidable contender.
