Η Nikon announced yesterday the release of Nikon Z7II and Nikon Z6II, next generation versions of top models mirrorless Z 7 and Z 6.
Οι Z 7II and Z 6II full frame are designed based on the ultra-wide Z mount and the ever-expanding range of lenses NIKKOR Z.
Both models benefit from both image processing mechanisms EXPEED 6, faster and larger internal memory that supports continuous shooting and dual card slot where cards can be used UHS-II SD and XQD or CFexpress.
Cameras are also equipped with features video 4K / 60p. They can be used with a new optional battery power supply, the MB-N11, which also supports vertical shots, as well as the new wireless remote control WR-R11b.
Z 7II
The Z 7II is the new development of the award-winning Z 7, providing top theme shooting, high resolution and strong reliability. With greater dynamic range and performance across the ISO range, its processing power and internal memory capacity enable shooting at speeds of up to 10 fps. Photographers can now capture up to 200 JPEGs in full resolution, or 77 uncompressed 12-bit RAW images in one burst.
The Z 7II's enhanced AF capabilities provide support for wide area autofocus whether your subjects are humans or animals. Subject focus autofocus works similarly to 3D monitoring and enhanced AF function in low light conditions. At the same time, the 3690k-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) provides a more natural view with a high refresh rate that reduces the cases of viewfinder interruption.
The camera is suitable for advanced and professional photographers who are looking for unparalleled rendering of the details of the subject. It can be a portrait photographer who takes photos quickly to capture textures on the skin, hair, clothes and makeup of the subject or a landscape photographer who needs durable but lightweight equipment that allows him to travel in difficult environments and capture scenes in nature.
Z 6II
The Z 6II builds on the success of the Z 6. It provides robustness and ease of use, the ability to create professional-quality cinematic videos, and top-notch photo capture. The camera's resistance to dust and droplets supports continuous shooting in difficult conditions, while the new focus ring rotation feature allows users to focus manually in the direction they are used to.
In terms of video capabilities, the camera has 4K UHD and HD output in FX and DX video format. At the same time, HLG capture formats retain more detail, dynamic range and contrast, minimizing post-capture processing requirements. Improved AF eye detection and animal detection AF achieve enhanced focus on subjects when shooting video.
These AF capabilities also support great shooting in conjunction with improved camera speed and power. The Z 6II supports continuous shooting at 14 fps and increased maximum shooting in continuous shooting mode: 200 JPEG or 124 uncompressed 12 bit RAW images in one burst.
The Z 6II is suitable for users who want to take cinematic quality video and photos with a compact system. It is the ideal camera for professional video production, such as wedding photography where mobility, flexibility and quality without compromise are paramount.
The Nikon Z mounting system
Both cameras use the Nikon Z mounting system to ensure that light reaches the entire sensor, even at the corners. Combined with the ever-expanding range of NIKKOR Z lenses or more than 300 compatible NIKKOR lenses via the FTZ mount adapter, they take Nikon's tradition of visual excellence and innovation to unprecedented new heights.
Accessories
The MB-N11 battery power supply has a shut-off button and controls for vertical shooting. It also has a USB-C port with which you can charge two batteries in a row while it is not connected to the camera.
The WR-R11b remote control lets you wirelessly control the capture mode of your camera and can synchronize the shooting mode of multiple cameras connected to a main camera. The WR-R11b is compatible with specific Nikon cameras and is a remote transceiver that can also be used to control external flashes, such as the SB-5000 Speedlight, in advanced wireless lighting systems. The WR-R11b is also compatible with the WR-1 remote control, a professional remote control with a wide range of features.
