Nikon Z7 Field Test Part I: Nikon takes a good first step into the full-frame mirrorless fray
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.
