Description

First of all there are two options the Z6 which gives you 24 megapixels full frame, AA filter and 12 FPS and the Z7 which has the larger 45 Megapixel count no AA filter and 9FPS which is going to be more suited to the landscape or commercial product photographer looking for the ultimate in image sharpness.

The z6 will retail for around 2k body only and the z7 around 3,3k body only.

The cameras are also available in Kit form and with the all-new Z mount system that offering a 24-70mm f/4 zoom.

The Z7 will run $3,999.95, with the Z6 at $2,599.95.

The same lens will cost $999.95 on its own and has a minimum focus distance of under 12 inches across its zoom range.

A 35mm f/1.8 prime ($845.95) will be available at launch as well. There’s also a 50mm f/1.8 prime ($599.95) coming in October offering astounding sharpness and edge-to-edge clarity.

These new lenses make a lot of sense if you are just buying into the system.

However for me the most appealing thing about Nikon creating a professional series of mirrorless cameras would be the ability to use your existing glass, and the same thing applies to Canon should they decide to introduce a similar product.

And to that avail, Nikon did announce a proprietary FTZ adapter coming in at $250 that is compatible with hundreds of your f mount lenses promising auto focus capability and auto exposure as well as compatibility with the cameras in body image stabilisation.

So overall a pretty decent offering but nothing to blow Sony out of the water or put Canon on notice when it comes time for them to step up to the Mark.

So here are the five things that Nikon could have done better to put them in the mirrorless game and avoid losing even more ground to the emergence of competitor offers from Sony and soon Canon.
