“Nikon has been promoting the larger diameter and shorter flange distance of the Z mount, and how this will allow more lens designs, easier design, better optics, faster AF and edge to edge sharpness. But are they actually better? In this video I compare the 24-70mm f4 Z lens to the 24-70mm f2.8G lens and the 35mm f1.8 Z lens to the Tamron 35mm f1.8 VC. Tested on their native mount cameras the Z7 and the D850.”
Just like any first generation cameras also the Nikon Z7 has some odd quirks. That said the camera is certainly superb in most aspects!

Imaging Resource posted their first part of the Nikon Z7 review.
Generally, the Z7 offers solid performance. It’s fast, it can shoot action and it feels responsive in use. The battery life is rated for a somewhat low 330 shots when using the EVF — 400 when using the rear display — but I think that it has been significantly undersold by the rather rigorous CIPA testing standards. Everyone’s mileage will vary, but in my workflow, the Z7’s battery has performed surprisingly well and offered considerably more shots than the rating and better duration than I expected.
