Mirrorless cameras would suck all the energy from the universe if they could. It supports most of the existing accessories, and uses the same format batteries (just a generational update) as the D850 and D7500 - and that's a potential problem. Nikon seems to have made a strong effort to make sure the Z system hits the ground running. Low-light, low-contrast autofocus wasn't great, but the Z7 has a specific mode for focusing under those conditions which I didn't get to try.īattery life suffers for backward compatibility And along those lines, the flash sync speed is only 1/200 sec, which makes using flash to stop action suboptimal, though it does support Nikon's Auto FP sync which can compensate. Bright sunlight is about 15 EV so it's probably an edge case, but for shooting water or winter sports it might become an issue. Almost every modern camera can go up to 20EV.
The metering-sensitivity specs in bright light look a bit low, maxing out at 17EV, and autofocus sensitivity only goes up to 19EV. But those problems may be limited to the preproduction models. There was a lot of white in the scenes we were shooting, though, and it could easily have just missed the correct area to base the exposure on. The metering seemed unpredictable, some times working as expected and other times underexposing. The slow motion video showed some moire as well, which didn't appear in the regular 4K video - that looks great, by the way. The new sensor-shift image stabilization seemed inconsistent I got some perfect shots at 1/10 second, but ones with shake at 1/80 sec. (With the samples, remember that browser rendering and scaling doesn't faithfully reproduce the original.) But you can safely assume that anything good will still be good, or possibly better, when the camera finally ships. That means we really have no conclusive information about its latitude for highlight and shadow recovery, color accuracy or tonal range we also don't know if there's any in-camera correction adjusting for possible issues with the new lenses. I can only base my judgement about photo quality on JPEGs straight from a preproduction version of the camera the firmware was extremely early and the raw files completely inaccessible.

It also supports the faster-than-SD XQD cards - ironic, since XQD is a Sony standard adding CF Express is just a matter of a forthcoming firmware update (the card slots for the two are the same). While the Z6's price is roughly competitive with the Sony A7 III, the Z7 costs more than the A7R III, but with modern niceties like a USB-C connection for faster transfers and charging, as well as 5GHz Wi-Fi for faster, more stable wireless transfers.
