Going by the Internet, it seems that many potential users have a question: Should they get the new Z6 II or save some money and get the Z6 instead? Added to that query are several other questions. I hope to clear your doubts (most of them anyway) in this Z6 II review.
Design & Build Quality
By design, the Nikon Z6 II is an Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless (ILM) camera. The build quality is very good; the outer body uses Magnesium alloy which is lightweight as well as strong. The camera is made in Thailand.
Key Features
Let’s start with the key similarities and differences between the Z6 II and the Z6.
Highlight denotes advantage
Besides the differences seen above, there are a few more differences in the Z6 II:
• The hand-grip is slightly different – better grip
• The EVF has a better refresh rate and the viewfinder black-out time is reduced.
• A power bank can be used to charge the battery even when using the camera and hence the camera can be used with a power bank for very long duration exposures.
