Tag: Nikon Z7 | Alik Griffin

The other day Jared Polin posted one of his Eye AF tests, and I was blown away at how well the Nikon Z7 kept up. I always thought the Z7 was much further behind based on what everyone has said about that camera. This test shows something else.

Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S Lens Review & Sample Photos

The Nikon 50mm f1.8 S was one of Nikon's first lenses for the Z mount system and it has been designed to cater to the hybrid shooter who wants a single lens that can do anything.

Nikon Z6/Z7 Firmware Update Wishlist

A firmware wishlist of features I would like to see implemented in the Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras. I usually do these at the end of my Fujifilm camera reviews and interestingly enough, almost every time, they almost all get fixed as long as they are reasonable. Not to say Nikon would do this, but these camera companies do monitor community feedback. I think Nikon could potentially implement some of these in the Z6 and Z7 to make them significantly better cameras. These requests are not unreasonable considering other cameras have these capabilities.

I've just wrapped up some of my memory card benchmarks in the Sony A7rIV and noticed something very interesting and exciting. Sony has dramatically improved the speed of UHS-II memory cards in their mirrorless cameras. A few cards in the Sony A7rIV are now clearing the buffer at a rate of about 200MB/s which is very similar to the XQD speeds in the Nikon Z7.
