Better value for money than much of its competitors it covers a wide range of features, ability, and imaging resolution which make it well suited to any kind of photography. Should you buy the Nikon Z7 II?įor all-round performance and excellent full-frame image quality the Nikon Z7 II is a brilliant choice. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on here and further testing to required to pinpoint the exact reasons but we suspect it’s something to do with the 5-axis, in-body image stabilization that the Z7 II has. This is most unusual and something we haven’t really experienced with other camera systems. However, we were astounded to find how many useable, sharp shots we got when not using it. The camera has an in-built exposure delay mode of up to three seconds to avoid camera shake blur when pressing the shutter button but using a long exposure. Colors appear natural, as if we are looking at the sky with the naked eye, but it’s as if the camera knows to limit the amount of orange glow from light pollution, too. However, we’re pleasantly surprised how natural-looking the AWB is on the Z7 II when capturing astrophotographs. It’s generally overwhelmingly difficult for cameras to know what to do with Automatic White Balance (AWB) when shooting in low light or astrophotography because they’re mainly geared towards shooting in daylight or with continuous interior lighting.

So when the Z7 II is paired with an appropriate lens we can ascertain focus and camera settings from this display without ruining the night vision by having to stare at the rear screen or the EVF.
Some Z-mount lenses have a display screen built right into the lens barrel itself. We expect the small lag is either idiosyncratic of the model we reviewed or due to the slower shutter speed required when shooting at night. Though there’s a small lag between the turn and the gauge changing this is still extremely useful to keep track of focus to ensure subjects are pin-sharp even when it’s hard to see them on-screen. When manually focusing (as one will do a lot in astro work), a turn of the focusing ring brings up a gauge on the rear screen showing the focusing distance selected. A gauge displays on some Z-mount lenses which allows users to switch between camera settings and distance of focus (Image credit: Jason Parnell-Brookes)
