Upgrades in the Nikon Z 7II body ensure that both stills photographers and videographers have a great deal to celebrate as Nikon introduced a wide range of incremental updates.
Hand held shooters benefit from in-camera 5-axis vibration reduction combined with new AF improvements which include high speed Eye, Face and Animal detect systems for both video and stills. The high resolution 45.8 megapixel sensor remains the same on the Z 7II with improved dynamic range and excels at low light captures. This allows the lens to be used in gathering light down to -6EV with ISO between 64-25,600.
