The Z 6II replaces the original Z 6 from 2018 as Nikon’s enthusiast-level full-frame mirrorless camera. With a 24MP sensor, it hits the sweet spot between resolution and processing power, and for many users is a preferable option to the professional-grade Nikon Z 7II, which comes with approximately double the megapixel count.
The Z 6 ticked many of the right boxes, so what we see here is very much a refinement rather than anything radically new. It receives incremental improvements to speed and functionality, after Nikon listened to user feedback on the Z 6.
Externally there is little difference between this new camera and its predecessor. The only giveaways are the ‘II’ nomenclature next to the Z 6 logo, and a marginally deeper battery door. To accommodate some of the internal changes, it’s a couple of millimetres deeper and weighs in at 20 grammes heavier.
