I totally agree upon Ming and Nasim Mansurov, they are very serious, skilled and committed.Not boring at all Thorkil. The more reviews, the better.
This reviewer has not bothered to proofread.
I respect Ming Thein and Photographylife more than others.
Best.
I think the D850 vs. Z7 debate will continue, but it's really not apples to apples. I have owned the D850 since week one. It is stellar. Does everything a Pro Camera should do. I have only owned the Z7 for a day. It is also stellar, so far does everything a mirrorless camera should do, but in different ways than a D850. I would guess that the Z has 90+% of the D850 features, but it is missing some features that pro's/prosumer's are used to. Not all focus modes are available, function button options are different. No full function grip, dual card slots, etc.. On the flip side the EVF, creates compelling advantages for the Z that the D850 can't match. In viewfinder WYSIWYG, Histogram and menu changes to name a few. So this really comes down to the user and what they need/prefer. It would be impossible for me to say that one or the other is a universal choice. Each user will have their own boxes to check.If you can get thru this review, he says anyone is 1000% insane to buy this over a D850. Around the 15 minute mark

That's a bit rough. There are lots of photographers out there making a living on much more basic equipment than a Z7 and kit lens... Admittedly a meager living, but still a living.If you can get thru this review, he says anyone is 1000% insane to buy this over a D850. Around the 15 minute mark

From that link:..and then the completely teardown for you Vivek

Another unique aspect: the cover glass of the Z7’s sensor is about half a thick as the Sony’s, coming in at 1.1mm. This means the Nikon will have better performance with adapter lenses right out of the box

Rayyan,Peter, if I didn’t know you, I would have said you were Nikon Marketing!
Glad you have found the Z7 having much to like.
I have put most of my Nikon n Fuji gear out for sale here.
No, not for the Z6/7, but to get rid of camera gear. And maybe fund a vacation or two. Wife has Bhutan n Greenland planned:shocked:
I prefer to stay mostly at sea-level nowadays. And warm climates.
I am in no hurry to buy any new cameras now, but am becoming interested in what I read about the Nikon Zsfrom folks like yourself.
Best.
PeterIt had to happen .... today I had hands on with the Nikon Z7 and S lenses when it was officially introduced (presented) by Nikon in Vienna.
To make it short - I am overwhelmed! Where to start? I will not repeat any specs but what impressed me 8not necessarily in the right order):
1) EVF is out of another world - not sure how they do it, but even in dim light of the event (evening) it was smooth, crisp and clear - although "only" 60Hz. Totally different from what I can get with my EM1.2 and also the G9, liked it even more than the one of the Leica SL. Also for video!
2) Camera is very responsive and what you expect from Nikon - overall VERY comfortable to hold, even with big adapted glass like the 80-400 or 70-200/2.8
3) AF is blazing fast - especially also AF-C and face detection works like a breeze - also in video!
4) I love that kit zoom - 4/24-70
5) The rear display is also from another world - have not seen such a great and crisp display on any camera yet. And touch operation is intuitive and smooth.
6) Video AF is almost Hollywood Cinema like. Smooth but very accurate!
I could go on and on .. I am really impressed by what Nikon pulled out of the hat here! And I was not the biggest fan of Nikon during the last years as many of you may know ....
I am now in serious trouble as I am seriously thinking of replacing all my m43 gear (which I love) with a Z7 and a few lenses. It is very tempting to think I could go fully back to FF with an almost similarly light system as my Olympus m43 with PRO lenses.
Needs some more thought process I know and I will take my time but I don't see anything which I could not do similar as good or in most cases better with the Z7 compared to my m43 gear. Of course IQ is also from a different world - both in still images as well as video!

Ivo, congratulations on the Z7 and lenses, you will enjoy very much!The thing is here (the left one in the picture above ...:grin. Z7/FTZ-Adapter/24-70. Massive box. Really. Compared to the size of the camera almost ridiculously large. Comes with a free XQD Card, which is a nice touch.
