For the best mirrorless experience Nikon has to offer, look no further than the Z 7II. Its powerful 45MP full frame sensor, backed up by a pair of Expeed 6 image processors deliver ultimate speed, accuracy and resolution when shooting video all the way up to 4K 60P. Despite these assets the camera’s body is super light and portable – without being fiddly for those with larger hands. It’s forged from magnesium alloy, making it tough yet lightweight, plus its weather sealed to provide protection against the elements.
Built-in image stabilisation is an absolute must – particularly if you are tracking your subject from a moving vehicle, and this camera boasts 5-axis image sensor shift.
Dual card slots can be configured to either record the same footage to both simultaneously to create a backup; overflow from one onto the other – seamlessly or if you want to shoot more than video you can reserve the second for stills making post-production a doddle. All in all, this camera is a real rugged juggernaut that won't weigh you down.
Nikon’s Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is an absolute dream, offering a maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range. Like the Z 7II, weather sealing offers ultimate freedom and peace of mind.
