The intuitive button layout stays true to Nikon’s signature design philosophy, ensuring seamless adaptation and effortless operation—whether you’re a longtime Nikon user or picking one up for the first time. Photographers will particularly appreciate the dedicated Picture Control button for instant adjustments, signaling Nikon’s commitment to enhanced cloud workflow optimization in future models—an exciting prospect for creatives.
Boasting the same premium EVF found in the Z8/Z9 series, the brilliant display delivers exceptional brightness for crystal-clear framing even in harsh sunlight. Its rugged magnesium alloy construction provides dust and weather resistance, giving shooters the confidence to capture stunning images in any condition. The versatile 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen enables creative compositions from every angle, while the thoughtful vertical shooting UI makes multi-platform shooting a breeze.
Remarkably compact at just 700g (134 x 100.5 x 72mm), this powerhouse punches above its weight class with professional-grade dual SD card slots—a standout feature rarely seen in entry-level cameras.
