The latest firmware for the Nikon Z6 and Z7 makes a significant difference to the cameras' usability and focus performance, so we've revisited the scoring for both cameras to address the improvements.
Read our analysis of the performance of Nikon's Eye AF system
We found the Eye AF system significantly improves the ease of shooting with the Z6 and also overcomes many of our concerns about the ability to fine-focus for portraiture. These improvements greatly change the user experience and are enough to bump the camera's overall score up to 89%, making it the joint high-scorer in its class.
The change to the Z7's score is less pronounced. This is partly because its 45MP sensor makes the slight inaccuracy of the Eye AF system more significant but also because the update doesn't appear to make a big improvement to the camera's low-light AF performance, which was a major factor in the camera's AF score.

Are you going to do this for other cameras?
There have been significant firmware updates for a number of other cameras and we'll be re-testing and updating those reviews wherever possible.
