Ich bin jetzt auch von der Nikon D5 auf die z 7 II umgestiegen, eine ganz schöne ungewöhnnung! Der Grund dafür,, ich hatte in der D5 permanent Dreck und Haare im Sucher wie immer die darein gekommen sind! Die Bildqualität der Z7 II ist schon echt genial… Das Nikon 105 z 2 8 ist auch besser als das Nikon 105E 1.4 Ansich gibt es ein paar Verbesserungen.. bei der z Serie … damit es nicht ganz so schwer fällt von der D5 auf die Z7 II umzusteigen, habe ich mir den neuen Batteriegriff MB n11 geholt. Vorteil der z Optiken… die sind halt echt leichter!

I will move from D750 to Z7II. While I understand the ‘struggle’ that higher resolution cameras have in low light versus low resolution cameras, any ideas on how to offset that disadvantage regardless of the superior performance of the Z7II in most other aspects as noted in Section 5? I know that some of the low light performance of the Z7II can be worked around in post processing.

Hio Nasim,
May I know if the autofocus system for the ZII is similar with the one from Sony and Canon after the firmware upgrades?

On my d750 in A mode, I could use the back wheel to change ISO. I have not found this to be possible with my Z7ii. Instead I have to find that tiny ISO-button on the top, which takes a couple of seconds that may be crucible. A solution, anyone?

Love the camera but we aware there are irritations. Eg the manual is virtually pointless and certain clones do not work eg a couple of en-el 15 batteries ( don’t know about clone 15cs) that work in a 7100 are not accepted and the Meike 910 flash gun does not work with TTL and probably other clone accessories. Be prepared to pay to get the best from it.

I shoot some runway fashion. The Z7 ii paired with the 70-200 mm f/2.8 S lens fits this very well. On longer runways, you need to crop even when shooting at 200 mm so the 45 Mp is helpful. No tripods in the pit so the combination of IBIS and lens VR is very helpful. Movement is very predictable, so the ability to maintain focus and shoot short bursts is better than I achieved with my D850. Sharpness and color with this native lens is as good as any other combination I have owned. I agree it is not a great bird or action camera, but I prefer the Z7 ii with a native lens to any of the DSLR I had for fashion runway assignments.

Great review! I wonder how this camera compares to the fuji gfx 50r. Which do you recommend? I mainly do landscape and portrait photography. I wonder how the image quality compares.
