WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

NIKON

Nikon’s DSLR models have always been a popular choice among wildlife photographers, so it’s unsurprising that this trend has continued following the development of mirrorless models.  

Solutions > Wildlife > Wildlife Photography > Nikon

Nikon introduced their first full-frame mirrorless camera with the introduction of the Nikon Z 6 and Nikon Z 7 in the summer of 2018. Since then, they’ve bolstered their arsenal, introduced newer version of those original models, and continued to flesh out a small but perfectly curated selection of Z mount lenses for their ecosystem. A great choice for wildlife photographers regardless of the application, we’ve paired Nikon’s best cameras from the Z range with suitable lenses, power options and memory cards, so you’ll know your kit is sorted and can focus on your craft.

Option 1 - Nikon Z 6II, FTZ Adapter & Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 Lens
Weekend from £135 - hire now!

The Nikon Z 6II is a mini powerhouse that boasts many advantages over its predecessor – the Z 6 – such as a new dual processor, improved autofocus and dual memory card slots that record to both cards simultaneously – giving you piece of mind that you have a solid back-up the moment each image is captured. The Z 6II not only gives you access to Nikon’s superb new range of Nikon Z glass, but in addition, by using the FTZ adapter you can also make the most of Nikon’s prestigious full-frame F series of lenses. Whilst powerful, the Nikon Z 6II is small and unobtrusive, meaning that you can stay under the radar when stalking wildlife! 

The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is its latest incarnation of its legendary 70-200mm series of lenses. It’s a super versatile focal length, with a formidable maximum aperture throughout. It’s weather sealed, giving you ultimate freedom and peace of mind should you encounter less than favourable conditions, plus, built in image stabilisation (VR) allows you to capture static creatures with longer shutter speeds when light is limited.

If you are used to shooting with a DSLR then the Nikon Z 7II may be the camera that entices you to the world of mirrorless. If you are familiar with professional DSLR bodies, then the huge reduction in size and weight won’t go unnoticed, plus it boasts astonishing low light capabilities, giving you more freedom early in the morning or when dusk sets in. Autofocus is super fast and accurate, which is particularly useful when shooting with a shallow depth of field. 

Dual card slots give you true peace of mind – you can configure the camera to either start recording on the second card the moment the first is full, or choose to record to both cards simultaneously – safe in the knowledge that you have a solid backup the instant the image is captured. Another truly invaluable feature this camera boats is the high dynamic range, which is a true asset when the sun is low in the sky and contrast is high.
