Frequently asked questions

The Nikon Z 6II is designed as a hybrid camera, excelling in both photo and video capture. Its versatility comes from a 24.5MP full-frame sensor, capable of high-resolution stills, together with advanced video features such as 4K recording at 60p, and slow-motion capabilities. Furthermore, its dual processor enhances performance, offering faster image processing, improved autofocus, and better buffer capacity for continuous shooting.

Yes, the Nikon Z 6II performs exceptionally well in low light conditions. The full-frame sensor, combined with its wide ISO range (extendable up to 204,800), allows for excellent low light performance. This is further supported by its advanced autofocus system that remains accurate in near-darkness.

The Nikon Z 6II is equipped with dual card slots, enhancing its storage capabilities and providing redundancy for important shoots. It supports both CFexpress (Type B) and SD cards (UHS-II recommended). This dual-slot system allows photographers and videographers to configure the camera for overflow, backup, or file separation (stills/videos or RAW/JPEG).

Yes, the Nikon Z 6II can be used with Nikon’s wide range of F-mount lenses via the FTZ adapter, which is sold separately. While the Z-mount system provides optimal performance with Z lenses designed specifically for the mirrorless system, the adapter ensures that photographers can continue to utilize their existing F-mount lenses with the Z 6II.

  • Expensive but worth it.
Style: Camera + 24-70mm f/4 Lens Set: w/ Lens
I originally bought the GH5 and that camera is a ridiculously good workhorse. However, I shoot predominately consumer electronics, which means I shoot a lot of screens. The GH5, for all its greatness, doesn't have an anti-aliasing filter and that caused all kinds of ridiculous moire. So I sold it, did some research, and landed on the Nikon Z6 II. Super glad I did. For the record, I upgraded originally from the Nikon D5200, which I used with my trusty Sigma 17-50mm lens for many years. I used the GH5 for a month before I got this camera, which I've now had for about a week. Pros 1. Good, sharp photos (obviously lens dependent). I did most of my testing with the included Nikon 24-70mm F/4 and my old Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8 with the FTZ adapter. You can find way better photos by much better photographers on pro reviews or other Amazon reviews, but rest assured those reviewers are right. This camera takes excellent photos. 2. The auto-focus features are a bit outside of my wheelhouse (my subjects rarely move while I shoot them), but I did mess around a little bit. I don't know how it compares to its contemporaries, but it beats my old Nikon D5200 by margins I can't possibly overstate. 3. 4k60fps recording works perfectly. Mine came in the box with the software update already installed so I assume yours will too. I didn't have to do anything other than turn it on in the settings. Even with the crop, it's smooth, sharp, and easy to work with. 4. I've always liked Nikon's menu system. It's simple, easy, and effective. Coming from a previous Nikon, the menu is larger, with controls for modern features, but it's more or less the same layout as previous cameras, so it's familiar. 5. The ability to charge the battery in camera via USB-C is awesome. The ability to power the camera with one is even cooler. 6. I also like that I can connect the camera in a bunch of different ways (wifi, bluetooth, usb-c). Compared to old cameras, it's a massive difference. 7. The ability to have a clean HDMI-out and the ability to turn off sleep mode makes this a great webcam for streaming or similar use cases. Neutral 1. I appreciate that there are two card slots, but I'm not too keen on buying a new card type and a new adapter for my computer. Cons 1. Nikon is intentionally vague about the USB-C power stuff. They want you to buy a $60 wall charger with a USB-C end. However, you basically just need a 15W power brick with USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and it'll get the job done, and you can find those on Amazon for vastly less money. 2. Having the play and delete buttons on the left side makes the camera difficult to use one-handed. Not the biggest deal, but ergonomics matter. Finally, a word about OLPF or an "anti-aliasing filter". This is an electronic component that, to over-simplify, knocks things ever so slightly out of focus to help avoid moire. It's a technology that does work wonders, especially if you shoot a lot of video or photo of things with screens, like smartphones, computer screens, etc. The Nikon Z6 II has one (the Z7 II does not). If you're here and you're considering a career in tech vlogging/journalism, I would put this toward the top of your "maybe" list for that reason alone. Sharp photos and video with the filter is a difficult combo to find. Overall, this camera is bonkers good. When I asked about it on Reddit, someone there challenged me to find a negative review. Turns out, negative reviews of this camera are exceedingly rare. It does well in low light, regular light, and intense light. The controls are good, the ergonomics are mostly good, the video capture is great, and it's just an all-around powerful workhorse camera. I also tried the kit lens. It's nice and sharp, and I actually like the part where the barrel compacts and locks for travel. I'll likely use it most of the time since it's a tad sharper than my Sigma, but if the lighting gets difficult, I have no problem switching back to the f/2.8. The kit lens is really good, and getting it at a $400 discount with the bundle is a smart idea unless you already have an outstanding zoom lens, in which case getting a second is redundant. Finally, a recommendation. If you buy this camera, at MINIMUM, you should consider getting the combo with the FTZ adapter. That gives you access to many older Nikon F-Mount lenses, since the Z-Mount is still kind of new. Buying the adapter separate costs $250, but Nikon reduces the price to $99 if you buy it when you buy a Z-mount camera (Z50, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z6 II, Z7 II, etc). The deal is available straight from Nikon, here on Amazon, or virtually anywhere else you can buy the camera. It functionally triples the number of lenses you can buy (including some really decent cheaper options, like the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8). Anyway, this camera is fantastic. Most of the other reviews touch on the kit lens and camera image/video quality, so I wanted to focus mine on some of the technicals and niche stuff. This camera is excellent. I'm happy to have it. ... show more

  • A Complete Nikon Mirrorless Camera
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
The Nikon Z6 was and still is a great camera, but has been heavily derided by reviewers on the 'Tube. Some of the criticisms were unjustified, while others had some merit. The Z6 II fills in any of the gaps that caused these criticisms. The TLDR of this camera is that its a refined Z6. Nikon listened and updated the Z6 in every was that was necessary. Still, the reviewers will hold this up against the Sonys and the Canons, but Nikon's target audience is not people switching camera systems. Instead, Nikon's audience is its own current DSLR consumer base who may want to go mirrorless. The theme for the Z6 II (note that Nikon does not call it a "Mark II") is two of everything. Internally, this camera is faster and has a larger buffer, due to the inclusion of a second processor. Continuous High shooting speed has increased by two frames per second from 12 to 14. There are now two card slots (1 XQD/CFExpress Type B and a USH-II SD card). I wish there were two of the same cards for convenience. The Z5 has two SD card slots if you prefer that. The Z6 II supports a vertical battery grip with buttons for taking photos in portrait orientation. So now there are two sets of buttons, with the optional grip. It has the same sensor as the Z6, so no changes there. Currently as of this writing (November 15, 2020), none of the major photo editing software packages have been updated to support the .NEF raw files it produces. This is normal for newly released cameras, and the updates should be coming soon. In the meantime, you can shoot raw and jpeg so you can edit the raw files later. Alternatively, you can use Nikon's Capture NX software. My firmware is 1.00. Firmware updates will make it even better (like the video updates coming in February 2021). It uses the en-el15c battery, but accepts the older en-el15 and en-el15b batteries. I think the greatest improvement so far is the wide area eye detection, where you can enable a red box in the viewfinder that restricts the eye detection to only eyes inside the red box. This way, you are giving the camera a helping hand as to where you want it to look for eyes. This is a rather unique approach that I don't believe any other camera system supports. Overall, the Z6 II feels familiar more than it feels different. In fact, if you have a Z6, you may not need to upgrade to the Z6 II, depending on your needs. If you are a still life, street, or portrait photographer, your Z6 is still a great camera. Pros and wedding photographers (business owners) will probably want to upgrade though for the autofocus, dual card slots, and speed improvements. If you shoot fast action or wildlife, I think this is a great upgrade for you due to the speed improvements. This is the complete camera from Nikon. Nikon has given everyone what they wanted in the Z6 II. ... show more

  • Nikon Z6 II is a great mirrorless digital camera
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
After reading the reviews and owning a prior Nikon digital camera, this product is excellent for an upgrade to the latest model. Better pixel capacity, improved battery power, and extra and manual features make this camera a worthy upgrade and hobby tool. I was able to also buy the adapter ring for F mounted lenses, and saved money on buying newer and more expensive lenses made for the Z6 II. I have the option to upgrade the lenses but choose to be thrifty at the moment. The hot shoe for the flash accepts older or existing flash guns. This camera has great features and better use cases for the specifications, and I will use this product more often and frequently, indoors and outdoors. ... show more
