Nikon Z6ii and Z7ii Wildlife Photography Review

Thinking about a Z6ii or Z7ii for wildlife? Then this is the video you've been looking for!

In this video, I'll discuss my experience using the Z6/7ii for wildlife photography. I've shot in various local locations and knocked out over 7000 images between the two bodies, so this isn't just a quick afternoon test and review.

We'll cover what works well, what's average, and performance aspects that are less than ideal for some wildlife scenarios. Also, note this isn't one of my full reviews, this one is tightly focused on my experience with the Z6/7ii for shooting wildlife.

Enjoy!

Just a quick note. I'm currently recovering from COVID - you can read bout it here:
(This video was put together before I went into the hospital). Please forgive any delays in responding to comments, this thing has really set me back.

I pretty much ONLY watch Steve's videos. He walks the walk and talks the talk. Plus, he's a great presenter chock full of insight and no bull commentary. Thank you Steve and thankfully you get back healthy quickly!!!!

Thanks Steve for another great review, I just ordered a Z6ii this morning to go along with my D780 dslr. Looking like I have your video to rely upon for the learning curve.

Mate, I have been waiting for this review. In terms on wanting to understand AF performance you are the baseline.

Mr. Perry, your camera reviews Rock! Always practical, clear, logical and useful for me! Much better for me than some other sites that get stuck in details that may not matter in big picture (no pun intended).
