DPReview TV: Nikon Z7 Review
The last decade has been an interesting one in the world of photography, with traditionally dominant DSLR manufacturers like Nikon and Canon faltered and lost some of their footholds to the rapidly developing world of mirrorless cameras. Combine this with the even more dramatic rise in the performance of smartphone photography and you get a somewhat challenging landscape for those who don’t innovate.
Nikon certainly took its time making its debut in the mirrorless photography arena, but that day has finally arrived. The Nikon Z7, and its more affordable cousin the Z6, represent a clear path forward and a largely uncompromising starting point for Nikon in this space.
The Z7 is an extremely versatile camera that shoots gorgeous 45.7-megapixel full-frame images. It offers some of the best color reproduction we’ve ever seen in a mirrorless camera. And that’s without even mentioning the new native lenses developed for the lens system, which are as good as any high-end modern lens we’ve tested.
