Nikon Z7 review by DpreviewTV
DpreviewTV:
The Z7 presented Nikon with a stiff challenge: how to build a mirrorless camera that measures up to its own DSLRs and can deliver a familiar experience to Nikon users. Chris and Jordan have been using the camera for a couple months for everything from landscapes to a studio shoot with portrait photographer Nathan Elson. Find out whether they think Nikon succeeded. Editor’s note: In order to fully cover the Z7’s new video capabilities, we will be publishing a separate video focused entirely on the camera’s video features and performance.
Dpreview confirms Z6 has much better video quality than the Z7
Dpreview writes:
The Z6 and a7 III are taking different approaches to their oversampled 4K output with the Sony doing a better job capturing fine detail. The Z6 on the other hand looks to be using larger-radius sharpening (by default) which results in a punchier look out of camera. As expected, the Z6’s full-frame 4K looks better than the Z7’s full-frame 4K, which doesn’t use all its pixel rows, reducing both resolution and low-light performance.
The Z6’s cropped 4K also appears to use larger-radius sharpening than the Sony’s and looks similar (but still slightly better) when compared to the Z7’s. Interestingly the Z6’s 4K full-frame footage looks very similar to its 4K APS-C cropped footage. There may be a bit of a noise penalty using the later, but detail is broadly similar.
