Nikon Z6 vs Z7 Camera Decision

If you are Nikon D850 and D750 user and have been looking forward to an upgrade the Nikon Z6 or Z7 Mirrorless Camera with the brand new Z mount is right for you.

The Z6 and Z7 are the first full frame mirrorless cameras. Nikon made a big compromise here and build them with a new Z mount and S series line of lenses.

They both are amazing full-frame mirrorless cameras and after using them for a couple of days for photography I will go over my full review between Nikon Z6 vs Z7.
