• Nikon Z6 vs Z7: What’s the difference?

Our quick take

Nikon Z6 - 5.0 / 5

Design

  • Z series mount; FTZ adapter available for F-mount compatibility Magnesium alloy front, back & top covers; weather sealed 3.6m-dot electronic viewfinder (100% FoV, 0.8x mag) 3.2-inch tilt-angle LCD touchscreen Single XQD card slot

Performance

  • In-body stabilisation to claimed 5-stops (VR; vibration reduction) 273 phase-detection points, covering 90% of frame 12fps burst mode (maximum) 300-400 shots per charge

Image Quality

  • 24.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor (FX format) ISO 100-51,200 native sensitivity

Video specification

  • 4K video capable at 25/24fps, Full HD at 100/120/60/50/30/25/24fps 10-bit HDMI clean out (with N Log)

To recap

Arguably the most well considered and capable of any full-frame mirrorless camera on the market. Nikon has got the lens mount right, the quality right and, despite strong competition from Sony’s well-established range and Panasonic’s forthcoming S1, we think any photographer would be mad to not give the Z6 a look in.
