Nikon Z7 First Impressions Review The Nikon Z7 is the company's first full-frame mirrorless camera: a 46MP, 4K-capable machine built around a variant of the D850's BSI CMOS chip, but with the addition of on-sensor phase detection.

It's designed to offer an experience familiar to existing Nikon DSLR shooters in a smaller, lighter camera. The Z7 is based around the all-new Nikon Z-mount but an adapter is available for use with existing Nikkor F-mount lenses.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-production camera before launch and we're impressed, despite the model we used running very early firmware. The build quality is great and the interface is responsive, while JPEG images show pleasing color and good detail. From our initial impressions of image quality it also seems that the camera balances noise and detail retention well as light levels drop.

We have a few reservations regarding the autofocus interface on our pre-production camera (though its accuracy was quite good), but overall, the Z7 we used felt very polished. This is all the more impressive given that the Z7 is Nikon's first entrant in the full-frame mirrorless space and the company is clearly aiming it at the higher-end of the market.

Key features:

45. 7MP BSI-CMOS sensor with on-sensor phase detection

In-body 5-axis stabilization (rated to 5EV)

493 PDAF points with 90% horizontal and vertical coverage

ISO 64-25,600 (expandable to 102,400)

Up to 9 fps shooting (JPEG and 12-bit Raw)

3. 69M-dot OLED viewfinder

2. 1M-dot tilting touch LCD

OLED top plate display

Single XQD card slot

UHD 4K capture up to 30p

10-bit 4:2:2 N-Log output over HDMI

We see the Z7 as not only a 'D850 without a mirror', but also (perhaps more) 'a D850 with a more consistent stills/video experience and greatly improved video AF. ' And straight out of the gate, that makes it a pretty well-rounded do-everything camera.

Three 'Z-mount' lenses will be available initially: a 35mm F1. 8, a 50mm F1. 8 and a 24-70mm F4. Nikon has also announced it is developing a 58mm F0. 95 'Noct' lens and has published a roadmap to show how it plans to expand the system. A battery grip will also be available at some point, but a release date hasn't yet been set.

Three Nikkor S (for 'silver') lenses will be available for the Z-mount initially: a 50mm F1. 8, a 24-70mm F4 and a 35mm F1. 8

Nikon has also released an F-to-Z mount adapter (formally known as the FTZ adapter) that will allow the use of F-mount lenses on the new cameras. This has a mechanical aperture lever built in, allowing full use of AF-S and AF-I lenses. Older AF-D lenses will offer auto exposure and AI lenses will have full metering. There's no aperture tab for use with 'AI' or older lenses, though.
