The autofocus
The Nikon z7 is a camera that I feel could have been so much better. Nikon could have found a way to blow Sony out of the water in all areas
But they just didn't. I feel like they pulled a Canon here and purposely crippled their own camera

The Z 7 did an excellent job of tracking Otto as he ran towards me. I used Wide-area AF (Small) mode as this gives you a larger target area than either Single-point AF or Pinpoint AF mode. It's a

Single card slot
Nlog only available via HDMI output
Pricey compared to the competition
Lacks dual memory card slots
Not quite as ergonomic as the D850

And Ease of Use? Good lord man
The autofocus
Autofocus could be better

Single memory card slot
Omits PC sync socket
Not as good at subject tracking as some Nikon DSLR cameras
Limited native lens selection (although adapter works well)
Limited buffer depths
Single XQD card slot
Only three S lenses this year
Lenses are pricey on their own
XQD card is expensive and overkill
Not many native lenses released yet
FTZ adapter adds a lot of bulk
Middling autofocus performance
Mediocre autofocus subject tracking
Single card slot uses non-standard XQD format
Touchscreen display doesn't flip around
Those needing a faster burst rate
Greater buffer depth or the absolute best focus tracking
Abstract: The Nikon Z7 is the first camera of a whole generation of new mirrorless models from Nikon. It is unique that with the Z7, Nikon has created a completely new system camera that does not feel like a “first generation.” A lot of things about the camera are...
Because the Z 7 is so well resolved as a full-35mm mirrorless camera, the obvious question is just why did it take so long to get to market? Given how soon after that Canon launched its EOS R system (the mere matter of a fortnight, in fact), were the grea...
Abstract: Half a decade ago, a new kid named Sony made up a game called “full-frame mirrorless,” and has spent the last five years dunking on everybody else. At first, the cool kids thought this game was dumb and they were happy to let Sony play by itself. Then, as...
SpecsImage sensor: 35.9 x 23.9 mm backside illumination CMOS sensor with 46.89 million photosites (45.7 megapixel effective resolution); no AA filterImage processor: EXPEED 6A/D processing: 12 or 14 bit (lossless compressed, compressed, or uncompressed)...
Feels great in the hands, Sturdy, Great picture quality, Touch controls are handy, Battery can be charged over USB Type C
Single memory card slot seems short-sighted, Uses the less popular XQD format, Autofocus doesn't feel strong in low light, Electronic shutter has ISO limitations, 8K mode is marketing spin
Nikon's first proper take on the mirrorless market has pros and cons, but overall, we found ourselves really liking what Nikon has created.It's interesting, because in the years where it has seemed like Nikon hasn't cared about developing mirrorless, we f...
Superb, DSLR-like handling, One of the best electronic viewfinders around, Extremely detailed, sharp images, In-body image stabilisation for handheld shots, Intuitive touchscreen interface
Only one XQD card slot, Screen doesn't fully articulate, Average battery life, Limited range of native lenses at launch
One of the finest cameras Nikon has ever made and a genuine alternative to Sony's A7R III, the Z7 has more than exceeded our expectations of its first full-frame mirrorless camera.Related: Nikon Z6 vs Nikon Z7: what's the difference? Nikon Z7 – The Rival...

Superb electronic viewfinder, Effective sensor-based VR system, Very responsive in use, Noise well suppressed in high-ISO images, Plays well with third-party lenses, Very good dynamic range
Relatively shallow buffer depth, AWB can be neutral in daylight, XQD cards still pricey, Expensive next to Z6, Battery life far from class leading, No DCI 4K – only UHD 4K
Nikon has made it clear how important the introduction of the Z7 is to the company, and it certainly feels like a camera that will be one day looked back as the start of something significant.By cutting its losses with its 1 series and focusing on buildin...
