" D5 " and single-lens reflex camera of professional amateurs for that was led by, compact digital camera " COOLPIX Nikon is known for" series, has been adopted by such D5 and D850 Nikon FX-format (35mm full size) mirror of From the Less Camera "Z" series, we have sent two models of "Z 7" and "Z 6" to the world.

Since Nikon 1 J5 released in 2015, I borrowed from Nikon together with the lens, I brought it out from here with the lenses of Nikon's mirrorless camera that I came back for the first time in 3 years.

◆ Appearance - "Z 7" on the left and "Z 6" on the right. As you can see the difference because each logo is in the lower right, there are no other apparent differences at all.

The back side also has the same specification like this.

Hiding the logo does not tell which one is the one. Internally, Z 7 is a high pixel model with effective pixel number of 45,750,000 pixels, ordinary ISO sensitivity 64-25600, Z 6 effective pixel number 24.5 million pixels · regular ISO sensitivity 100-51200, all-rounder excellent for high sensitivity shooting There is a difference. The difference in the number of pixels also appears in the difference in price, compared with the selling price in Nikon Direct, Z 7 (body only) is 437,400 yen including tax, Z 6 (body only) 270 2700 yen including tax The difference of 160,000 yen is attached.

The front is such a feeling, the size is about 134 mm × 100.5 mm × 67.5 mm.

The rear monitor is a tilt type 3.2 type TFT liquid crystal.

From true upward ... ...

It is possible to take an angle to obliquely downward.

The grip on the right side is overhanging greatly.

XQD memory card slot inside the grip.

XQD memory card is a memory card incompatible with compact flash (CF) and SD card. In Nikon's camera, there are CF dual slot machine and XQD dual slot machine in D5, DQ50 is equipped with dual slot of XQD and SD card, but Z7 · Z6 is single slot specification only with XQD.

Various interfaces are provided on the left side of the main unit.

The inside of the grip is a battery slot on the bottom. One EN-EL 15b comes with a battery. In addition, EN-EL15a and EN-EL15 can also be used although the number of frames that can be shot may be reduced. Z 7 The main body charging AC adapter included can only be used with EN - EL 15b.

The sensor part looks something like this. The full-size sensor does not feel uncomfortable when it is contained in a large body like the D850 or D5, but when it is small Z 7 · Z 6, it is loaded with the full size all the time I feel like.

When we inserted the battery and XQD memory card and put it almost in use, the weight was 683 g. Since the lightest D750 in the current FX format machine is about 840 g with battery and SD memory card, there is a difference of about 160 g. If you are a person taking a picture for a long time, this difference will have a positive influence.

This time, the lens to be used together with Z 7 · Z 6 is " NIKKOR Z 24 - 70 mm f / 4 S ", " NIKKOR Z 35 mm f / 1.8 S " released in September 2018, and December 2018 Three pieces of " NIKKOR Z 50 mm f / 1.8 S " to be released on the 7 th.

The standard zoom lens "24 - 70 mm" is 557 g (with cap and hood).

A large-diameter single focal-length wide-angle lens "35 mm" is 421 g (with a cap and hood).

469 g (with cap and hood) with large aperture single focus standard lens "50 mm".

The figure when 24 - 70 mm is worn is like this.

The thumb is just caught on the grip firmly, the hold feeling is very high, and it stabilizes considerably at the time of shooting.

◆ Difference in the number of recorded pixels between Z 7 and Z 6
When the number of recording pixels of Z 7 is 8256 × 5504 pixels when FX setting (36 × 24), Z 6 is the same setting as 6048 × 4024 pixels. I compare the red frame part of the following picture by enlarging it to see how much this is the difference.

The thumbnail is simply reduced to 560 pixels wide, but in the enlarged image after clicking (tapping), the difference between Z 7 is 892 × 501 pixels and Z 6 is 654 × 367 pixels gives the difference from the original image .

Shot with Z 7. The original file size is 21.4 MB. It was generally in the range of 15 MB to 25 MB.

Shot in Z 6. Original file size is 6.6 MB. It was generally in the range of 4 MB to 10 MB.

Z 7 is very attractive if you are premised on printing, but if you are premised on handling photographed photos on a PC, Z 6 is also considered useful enough.

◆ Example - The following is an actual example. In order to keep the file size as small as possible while leaving the state as close as possible to the original, we scaled EXIF ​​information down to 50% of the original. Since the file size of the enlarged image exceeds 1MB, please be careful about click & tap when browsing with mobile line.

It was especially petite, light and easy to handle, even among Nikon's full-size aircraft, that I felt out of here and there. There are certainly scenes where cameras like the D5 flagship in FX format are required, but it is quite appreciated that the performance is not so easy as to be easier than that. If it is a case that you take pictures from morning till evening on a journey, if the camera is heavy, it accumulates damage alone, and if you do not use a tripod or monopod, the retention of the camera becomes serious, but such a fear It will be gone.

Although the lens is a new Z mount, if you use the mount adapter FTZ you can also use the conventional Nikon F mount lens, so it is also ant to think as a new body. The lens mount of the Z mount is still thin and there is no telephoto zoom lens, so it can be said that it is essential if considering such use.
