Nikon Z6 II Body + Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S

The Nikon Z6 II is a full-frame mirrorless camera that impresses with its outstanding image quality, speed and versatility. As the successor to the popular Z6, it offers numerous improvements and new functions that will appeal to ambitious amateurs as well as professional photographers and videographers. With a robust, ergonomic design, a powerful dual-processor system and advanced video and photo functions, the Z6 II sets new standards in mirrorless photography. In this detailed product description, you'll learn all about the key features and why the Nikon Z6 II is one of the best options on the market.

Powerful sensor and dual image processors

At the heart of the Nikon Z6 II is a 24.5 megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS full-frame sensor that guarantees outstanding image quality. BSI technology allows the sensor to capture more light, resulting in low image noise, high detail and excellent color reproduction - even in low light conditions. Whether you're taking landscapes, portraits or action shots, the Z6 II delivers crisp, clear images with impressive dynamic range.

New to the Z6 II is the Dual EXPEED 6 processor system. This powerful image processing engine ensures significantly faster performance, both when taking photos and recording videos. By using two processors, the camera is able to achieve a faster continuous shooting speed of up to 14 frames per second. It also ensures a higher buffer capacity, so you can take more photos in a row without having to put up with delays. This makes the Z6 II an ideal companion for sports and action photography.

Improved autofocus with 273 AF points

The autofocus of the Nikon Z6 II has been significantly improved compared to its predecessor. With 273 focus points distributed across the entire image area, the Z6 II offers precise and fast focusing, no matter where your subject is in the frame. Particularly noteworthy is the optimized eye autofocus (Eye AF), which works for both people and animals. This makes focusing on the eyes of your subject child's play - ideal for portraits or animal photography.

The autofocus of the Z6 II is also impressive in low light. Thanks to the sensitive sensor, the camera can focus precisely even in extremely low light conditions (-6 LV), making it the perfect choice for shooting at night or indoors.

High-quality video recording in 4K UHD

The Nikon Z6 II is not only an excellent photo camera, but also a powerful video machine. It supports 4K UHD video recording at up to 60 frames per second, which ensures smooth and detailed recordings. The camera can also record in Full HD at up to 120 frames per second for fantastic slow motion effects.

Another highlight of the Z6 II is the support of N-Log and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), which offer you extended options for color processing. N-Log gives you a flat color reproduction that is perfect for post-production, while HLG provides a higher dynamic range for HDR videos. These features make the Z6 II an excellent choice for professional videographers looking to produce high-quality content.

With the ability to connect an external Atomos recorder, even 12-bit RAW video can be recorded directly via the HDMI output. This offers maximum flexibility and quality for those who want to get the best out of their video material in post-production.

Dual memory card slots

One of the most important new features of the Nikon Z6 II compared to its predecessor is the addition of a second memory card slot. The camera now has a slot for CF Express Type B / XQD cards and another for SD cards (UHS-II). This not only increases the storage capacity, but also offers more security as you have the option of saving your data on two cards at the same time. This is a decisive advantage, especially for wedding or event photographers, as a card error no longer has devastating consequences.

Robust and ergonomic design

The Nikon Z6 II is housed in a weatherproof magnesium alloy body that is both lightweight and extremely durable. This means you can take pictures without worrying, even in adverse weather conditions. The ergonomic design of the camera ensures that it sits comfortably in your hand, even during long photo sessions. It also has a tilting 3.2-inch touchscreen and a high-resolution electronic OLED viewfinder display that allows you to preview your shots clearly and sharply.

Versatile connectivity and battery life

The Z6 II offers a variety of connectivity options, including USB-C for fast data transfers and charging the camera on the go. With the improved battery life, you can also enjoy longer sessions without interruption. An optional battery grip (MB-N11) enables even longer use and offers additional control options for portrait format shooting.

Nikon SnapBridge - Seamless connection and easy transfer

The Nikon Z6 II is equipped with SnapBridge technology, which enables a wireless connection between the camera and your smartphone or tablet. With SnapBridge, you can transfer your shots to your mobile device immediately after shooting, without having to connect the camera to a computer. This is done via an energy-saving Bluetooth connection that remains continuously active in the background to synchronize images automatically. SnapBridge also supports remote camera control, so you can use your smartphone as a remote shutter release - ideal for self-portraits, group shots or difficult camera angles. The app also enables GPS linking so that your pictures can be geotagged. With these features, SnapBridge offers seamless integration into your workflow and ensures that you can share your photos quickly and easily or save them to other devices.

Dancing in the light
The outstanding imaging performance of this NIKKOR Z Lens from the S series sets new standards for full-frame 1.8 lenses. With its sharpness of detail and brightness to the corners, it leaves even previous 1.4 fixed focal lengths behind.1 This is more than a new 50mm lens. This is a new future for incredible photography.

Open to Light
The Z-bayonet mount, with its exceptionally large diameter, allows your NIKKOR Z lenses to direct more light to every corner of the frame. This, combined with the small flange focal distance - the distance between the bayonet mount and the image sensor - visibly minimizes light fall-off from the center of the image to the edges. The result is a new potential for details and subtle nuances - everywhere in the image.

Let inspiration roam. Focus follows
The NIKKOR Z 50 mm f/1.8 S offers outstanding quality in available-light photography. This, its natural perspective, and its razor-sharp focus from as little as 0.4 meters allow for a completely free, intuitive way of working. Use the surroundings of your subject to give it a frame. Or choose a shorter distance for a detailed portrait with head and shoulders.

Reliably precise
True to life. Open to light. Both the superior resolution of this Lens and its brightness (thanks to Elaborate Vignetting Reduction) extend to the corners of the frame. As a result, every detail of your subject is reproduced with perfect precision - even when shooting at open aperture.

More sharpness
Point light sources, such as distant streetlights at night, are reproduced with superior precision because sagittal coma has been almost completely corrected. Point light sources appear in the image as naturally round dots, even at the edges of the image.

More light
Two ED glass lenses and aspherical lenses each also contribute to razor-sharp images with a high level of brilliance, clear colors and rich contrasts.

More nuances
Nikon's Nano Crystal Coatings are highly effective in reducing reflections and thus also ghosting and flare. Your image will be clearer and more brilliant, especially in backlit situations. The effect is also clearly visible on subjects with multiple light sources in the image field.

Artful at any distance
Delicate, gentle bokeh. Spectacular sharpness. Both combined with the fine shadow and highlight drawing of your Nikon Z camera create an incredible depth effect.

Finest bokeh
The f/1.8 speed and the aperture with nine rounded blades support the fine, particularly natural-looking bokeh. Highlights are displayed as natural out-of-focus circles. Even slightly stopped down, you'll achieve beautiful results.

Artful at any distance
The Lens's multi-group focusing, which moves several lens groups individually, ensures that your subject is always razor-sharp - even at short distances. Highlights are rendered as delicate dots.

The image is the target
Nikon's multi-group focusing with individual AF drive of multiple lens groups ensures that focusing in any stuation is seamless, with incredible precision, and virtually no operating noise. This makes the lens an ideal choice for videography as well as still photography.

Your perspective
Fast and extensive data transfer between the lens and camera enables highly effective distortion correction with maximum image sharpness right into the corners of the image field.

Precise at all times
The optical design with "floating elements" (independently moving lens groups) ensures exceptionally high imaging performance even at close range. The electromagnetic control of the aperture ensures highly precise exposure with perfect consistency even during fast continuous shooting.

Made for any light
The lens supports the camera's built-in image stabilizer (VR), which allows you to use exposure times that are up to five light value stops longer.² This means you can take sharp photos in fading daylight and shoot video without camera shake.

Everything under control
The wide, easy-to-grip adjustment ring enables intuitive yet precise handling. For shooting or filming with autofocus, you can assign it the function to set ISO sensitivity or exposure compensation. For manual focus, it becomes the distance adjustment ring and depending on the speed at which you turn the ring, the focus drive responds differently. This makes it easy for you to set the focus with high precision and to pull the focus even close to subject elements when filming.

Film-ready performance
A face of radiant beauty. A look that reveals a hidden truth. This Lens is made for telling special stories with the finest nuances in full-frame video.

Quiet on Set
Virtually silent autofocus operation, leaves room for even the stillest moments to reveal their full emotional impact. With the adjustment ring, you can also pull focus manually - again without operating noise. Nothing distracts from your scene.

Breathless
Focus breathing, a change in the angle of view when focusing, has been virtually eliminated. This allows you to shoot your video with complete creative freedom. The aperture is controlled continuously and with high precision, so there is a natural adjustment of exposure within a setting.

At home anywhere
Dare to go outside! Every moving part of the lens barrel is intricately sealed to prevent dust and water droplets from entering. The fluorine coating prevents the adhesion of water, dust and dirt - without any impairment of the imaging performance.
