Dual card slots, dual processors, 14fps shooting and eye AF for humans and animals in video mode might not be enough to tempt existing Nikon Z6 users to upgrade but they keep Nikon right in the heart of the mirrorless camera market.

  High-quality sensor, Excellent user interface and control layout, Weatherproof build

• -

  Eye detection can be unreliable in video mode, Video Info menu not customisable, 4K 60fps shooting will incur a 1.5x crop factor

The Nikon Z 6II and Z 7II are very effective improvements on the original Z 6 and Z 7. The sensors, AF points, build and handling are largely unchanged, so you probably wouldn’t pay swap an existing Z 6 or Z 7 for these, but for anyone new to the full frame mirrorless market, these two cameras are...

  Controls, handling and ergonomics, Continuous shooting performance, 4K 60p video (soon, for the Z 6II)

  Relatively modest upgrade, Twin card slots use different formats, Tilting rather than vari-angle screen

The Nikon Z6 II is a light refresh of the original Z6, with a second memory card and processor bringing a bump to burst shooting and the promise of 4K 60p video. However, the latter is cropped (and not here until February) and the camera still lacks an articulating screen, limiting its appeal for...

  Two memory card slots, Improved burst shooting, Superior AF performance

  No articulating screen, Other bodies are faster, 4K 60p will be cropped

  Great allround performer, Good build and weatherproofing, Rapid 14fps continuous shooting, Large, sharp viewfinder, 4K 60p video coming in future, Impressive lowlight autofocus

  Only minor updates over predecessor, Lacks full screen articulation

Nikon has taken one of our favorite mirrorless cameras and addressed its main weaknesses. While it might not be class-leading in key areas, it’s the Z6 II’s strong performance across the board that makes it such a compelling choice.

  Excellent image quality, Polished handling, 5-axis IS system, 14fps burst shooting, Best-in-class build quality

• -

  Other AF systems more advanced, Tilt-angle display, not vari-angle

Like the Nikon Z6, the Z6 II, offers great image quality, and great handling, but with added "oomph" as well as the convenience of an SD card slot. The Nikon Z6 II and the other camera's in the Z series offer great handling, and the Z6 II offers a full-frame 24mp BSI CMOS sensor that is able to...

  Excellent image quality, Extremely high-quality lenses available, High-speed shooting possible - 14fps, 5-axis image stabilisation, SD card slot a welcome addition, Excellent handling

  4K 60fps not available till firmware update due Feb 2021, Some will wish the screen could face forwards, Battery life is still quite short

Just so comfortable, easy to use, great customisability, nice menus, crisp EVF, stable IBIS, great grip, prominent buttons, love the buttons around the mount, two card slots, quick AF, but most importantly it produces lovely images every time.

  Great Features, Great Picture Quality, Simple Controls
