NIKON

Nikon is an industry leader when it comes to sports photography. Already established as the first choice for many photographers due to their fabulous pedigree in DSLRs, Nikon's latest range of mirrorless cameras up the ante further still.

Solutions > Sports > Sports Photography > Nikon

Nikon has been making digital cameras since the early 90s, when it made one of the first ever DSLRs for NASA's Space Shuttle program. Nikon has been a trusted name in photography ever since, known for cutting edge bodies and sharp, expertly designed glass. Moving into the mirrorless market, Nikon's Z range has been gathering momentum ever since the release of the orginal Z 7 in 2018, and took a huge leap to the top of the tree with the Z 9 - a sports photographer's dream.

Option 1 - Nikon Z 7 II, Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3, Gitzo Monopod
Weekend from £151 - hire now!

The brilliant Nikon Z 7 II has got it all. Despite almost double the megapixel count compared to the Z 6 models, The Z 7 II can still shoot up to 10 frames per second with its 46-megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor, with double the focus points of its little brother. Lens-wise, this package includes the Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3, providing a vast focal range to play with, from establishing shots to set the scene, to impressive zooms to zero in on the action. It’s also worth noting that the Z 7 II achieves such fidelity from its sensor, that zooming-in-post is extremely viable. Stability comes in the form of the Gitzo monopod, and the package also includes 2 batteries, a charger, and a memory card.

Option 2 - Nikon Z 9, Nikon NIKKOR 100-400mm F4.5-5.6, Gitzo Monopod
Weekend from £262 - hire now!

It’s fair to say the Nikon Z 9 surprised a few when it arrived late in 2021. Nikon’s Z 6 II and Z 7 II were incremental upgrades to what came before, and couldn’t really compete with the flagship cameras Sony and Canon were releasing. Of course, we now know what Nikon was really up to – creating an absolute masterpiece.

The Z 9’s stats are eye-watering to say the least. A Full frame stacked 46 megapixel sensor provides incredible fidelity, coupled with unbelievably fast autofocus, tracking and AI learning makes this model an absolute beast for sports work. Capable of tracking people, animals birds and vehicles with its 493-point autofocus system, the Z 9 also features 120 fps burst and a 1000 single burst – truly magnificent performance. All this means the Z 9 is hard to beat, something critics agree with judging by the swathe of Camera Of The Year awards it received upon release.

Partnering the Z 9, the brand new Nikon NIKKOR Z 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 offers a fantastic focal range, multi-focusing system and whisper-quiet autofocus suitable for stills and video. Finally, the Gitzo Monopod with fluid head provides professional levels of stability and control befitting such a high-end camera and lens combo. This package also includes 2 batteries and a memory card.
