Nikon : Z series.

Nikon one of the premium cameras that is celebrated by world photographers.

Indeed Nikon was first to introduce high definition video in a still camera.

After it was many brands took front seat in Digital era to dominate videography.

Hollywood cinematographer Januz kamniski preferred Nikon dslr for a product shoot for video.

Mirrorless cameras another siren happening now.

Nikon now has slowly brought Z series mirrorless camera which has a full frame sensor and shoots a brilliant 4k video.

Nikon Z6 by far has a very good exposure latitude closer to a film stock.. Much better than other brands in  the market.

Nikon now announced Z6 mark II and Z7 mark II.

the Nikon Z 6II is an updated take on the all-rounder mirrorless camera designed for high-end photo and video applications. Despite the wealth of upgrades, the Z 6II retains its familiar form factor and prized image quality to benefit working multimedia image-makers.

Revolving around a 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor and dual EXPEED 6 image processors, the Z 6II is characterized by an increased buffer depth and faster continuous shooting rate, up to 14 fps with single-point AF or 12 fps shooting in other focusing modes. Video recording at UHD 4K 30p is possible, or up to FHD 120p for slow-motion output, and external recording gains 10-bit out along with N-Log and HLG (HDR) support. The sensor also suits working in a variety of lighting conditions, with sensitivity from ISO 100-51200, and in-body 5-axis Vibration Reduction reduces the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Additionally, the sensor also incorporates a 273-point phase-detection AF system, which now supports Eye-Detect AF in Wide-Area AF modes and during movie recording, and permits focusing in low-light down to -4.5 EV.

Nikon another model z7 mark II is a best workhorse both for professional still photography and as well as hybrid video.

The Z7 II has a 45.7MP full-frame BSI sensor, but it’s now backed up by dual processors compared to the single processor in its predecessor.

Both these cameras has best auto focus features for video with eyedetect.

Another best one would be it’s raw video features.

Nikon coming with blackmagic Raw support also from February for Z6ii and Z7ii in addition to already existing ProRes Raw support.
