FEATURES
XQD CARD
Nikon’s decision to give the Z 7 a single card slot has upset quite a few professional photographers, but XQD cards are more robust than SD cards.
CONNECTIVITY
Nikon’s SnapBridge system, which uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, is built in, but you can access the Wi-Fi system separately to transfer images.
TRADITIONAL CONTROLS
Exposure is set via the aperture dial on the lens and shutter speed dial on the camera body. The ‘A’ settings on each allow automatic selection.
BATTERY
The Z 7 comes with a EN-EL15b battery, but it can also accept EN-EL15a batteries from the D850. The battery is rated at just 330 shots.
VIDEO
Nikon hasn’t held back on the video specification: you can record 4K (3840 x 2160) footage at 25/30p in 8-bit internally or 10-bit 4:2:2 to an HDMI device.
IN-CAMERA CHARGING
Although a battery charger is supplied, the battery can also be charged in-camera via the USB-C port. That’s useful when you want to travel very light.
