The Nikon Z7 is a mirrorless camera featuring a full-frame FX-format BSI CMOS sensor with an impressive 45.7 megapixels, all housed in a remarkably compact and lightweight body. The camera features a familiar grip, similar to that of Nikon's professional D-series DSLRs. Controls and the display are located in familiar positions, and the menu system remains unchanged, allowing you to get to work immediately with a setup you already know. A completely new feature is the Z-mount; combined with the compact body, it opens up possibilities for new lenses, such as the 58mm f/0.95 S Noct.
Additionally, the Z7 is equipped with 5-axis in-body image stabilization (offering 5.0 stops of compensation) and an autofocus system with 493 AF points. This system covers an impressive 90% of the image area. The tilting touchscreen on the back offers greater creative freedom for shooting from various angles and allows for quick menu navigation. A top-mounted display lets you check basic settings at a glance, eliminating the need to dig through menus. Also new is the high-resolution electronic viewfinder (3.6 million dots), which provides a superb viewing experience. The magnesium alloy body is fully weather-sealed to professional standards, ensuring reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions.
The Nikon Z7 captures 4K Ultra HD video at 30 frames per second and supports super slow-motion recording at 120 frames per second in Full HD resolution. Thanks to the microphone and headphone jacks, you can effectively monitor your audio while filming. If you want to take things a step further, it is possible to record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using an external recorder. For optimal connectivity, the camera features Nikon's SnapBridge, allowing you to easily transfer your footage to a smartphone, for example, or even use your smartphone as a remote control. Built-in Wi-Fi also enables you to transfer images directly to your PC. Finally, the camera can now be charged via USB-C—ideal for when you are on the go.
