Best Nikon cameras in 2021
Buyers Guide

Nikon has quietly added to its growing range of full-frame mirrorless cameras in recent years, perhaps just at a slower pace than in the past. In the last few years we’ve seen refreshes of its founding Z-series cameras in the form of the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon Z7 II. We also saw Nikon challenge the Canon EOS RP for the entry-level full-frame crown with the Nikon Z5 and the foundation of its range of mirrorless APS-C offerings with the Nikon Z30 and Nikon Z50. But as we enter 2022 all the focus will be on the powerful new Nikon Z9.

The company’s new flagship full-frame mirrorless camera looks to set a new market standard and re-establish Nikon’s brand as the go-to system for professionals. But even if you’re not in the market for a flagship professional-level camera, there’s something for every type and level of photographer within Nikon’s Z series mirrorless cameras and existing DSLR range.

So with that in mind, let’s take a look at our picks for the best Nikon cameras for various popular subjects. But first, let’s answer some of the common questions people ask about Nikon’s camera systems.

Which Nikon cameras are full frame?

Nikon’s full-frame cameras sit in both its range of DSLR and mirrorless Z series cameras. The flagship Nikon D6, professional Nikon D850, advanced enthusiast Nikon D780 and entry-level Nikon D610 round out Nikon’s FX range of full-frame DSLRs.

In the Z series mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z9, Nikon Z6 II, Nikon Z7 II, Nikon Z5 and the original Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 are all full-frame options.

Which Nikon cameras have WiFi?

  • Nikon Z9
  • Nikon Z7 II
  • Nikon Z6 II
  • Nikon Z6
  • Nikon Z7
  • Nikon Z5
  • Nikon D6
  • Nikon D850
  • Nikon D780
  • Nikon D500
  • Nikon D7500

Many Nikon cameras come with built-in WiFi, which lets you transfer images from your camera without a physical connection or needing to remove the memory card. Nikon’s SnapBridge app utilises this connection and transfers your images directly from your camera to your phone or smart device.

Nikon cameras with WiFi include the Z9, Z7 II, Z6 II, Z7, Z6, Z5, D6, D850, D780, D500 and D7500.

For years, Nikon’s D3XXX series of cameras has been our recommendation for anyone looking for their first DSLR. Having replaced the D3400 in August 2018, the Nikon D3500 is the most recent model in the line8. While it has a very similar specification as the camera it replaced, the D3500’s APS-C format 24.2Mp sensor is newer (although it has the same effective pixel count as the previous chip). In addition, it’s a little lighter than the D3400 and its battery lasts for a few more shots. Nikon has also tweaked its design a bit in comparison with the D3400.

Thanks to its 24Mp APS-C format sensor and Expeed 4 processing engine, the D3500 is capable of capturing detail-rich images. What makes especially suited to novice photographers, however, is its Guide Mode that explains how to take control of the camera in simple language.

SnapBridge is also integrated to simplify sharing images direct from the camera.

Best Nikon camera for professionals

The Nikon D5 is a phenomenal DSLR and it’s not really surprising that the D6 only makes a few improvements upon it. Despite being more of a refresh, the flagship D6 is the best Nikon camera for professional photographers.

And while units haven’t yet shipped, we’ve tested the Nikon Z9 and it’s an absolute beast and game-changer. For a more in-depth look at all of Nikon’s pro options, check out our guide to the best Nikon cameras for professional photography.

If you’re a professional photographer and you need a solid, dependable camera that has fast responses, can cope with low light and delivers sharp images in a wide range of conditions, then the Nikon D6 is a great choice.

The Nikon D6 is the replacement for the D5, Nikon’s flagship DSLR which is aimed at professional news and sports photographers. It represents the pinnacle of DSLR development, competing with the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III.

The D6 is designed to be used every day in the harshest of environments by photographers who need a fast, reliable camera. It’s a full-frame model, which means its 20.8Mp sensor has the same dimensions as a 35mm film frame.

The Nikon D5 it replaces is a robust and reliable workhorse of a camera that has served many professional photographers well. While the D6 doesn’t make a huge step forward in terms of specification or handling, it does enough to make professional sports and news photographers stick with a DSLR rather than switch to a mirrorless camera.

It has the start-up and response times that news and event photographers need, plus its AF system is capable of getting fast-moving subjects sharp – even in gloomy conditions.

Professional photographers are likely to find the changes made to the viewfinder-based autofocus (AF) system the most significant. In fact, the D6 has Nikon’s most advanced AF system to date.

The Nikon Z9 offers just about everything professional and enthusiast photographers might want from a camera and put it into a relatively compact (yet twin-gripped) weather-sealed body. A resolution of 45.7Mp promises to capture a high level of detail without over-stretching the camera’s noise control.

There’s also 20fps full-resolution shooting for raw files, 30fps for Jpegs and 120fps shooting at 11Mp, paired with what looks like an excellent AF system with super-sticky Eye-detection.

The Nikon Z9 offers just about everything professional and enthusiast photographers might want from a camera.

The Nikon Z9 goes beyond what’s offered by the Nikon D6 while at £5,299/€6,299 it costs around £1,000 less and offers stiff competition to the Sony A1 and Canon EOS R3.

Best Nikon camera for wildlife photography

While its 45.7Mp sensor ensures plenty of detail is captured, the maximum shooting rate of 7fps, which can be boosted to 9fps with the optional battery-grip, plus the superb 153-point AF system make the D850 the best Nikon camera for wildlife photography.

Best Camera: Nikon D850

Specification

  • Camera type: Full-frame (FX) DSLR
  • Announced: 24th August 2017
  • Lens mount: Nikon F
  • Sensor: 45.7Mp full-frame (35.9 x 23.9mm) backside-illuminated CMOS
  • Maximum continuous shooting rate: 7fps as standard, 9fps with the optional MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack for up to 51 14-bit lossless compressed raw files or 170 12-bit lossless compressed raw files
  • Autofocus system: Viewfinder: Multi-CAM 20K autofocus sensor 153 focus points (including 99 cross-type sensors and 15 sensors that support f/8), of which 55 (35 cross-type sensors and 9 f/8 sensors) are available for selection, Live view: Contrast detection
  • Viewfinder: Optical pentaprism type
  • Screen: Tilting, touch-sensitive 3.2-inch TFT LCD with 2,359,000 dots
  • Dimensions: 146×124×78.5mm / 5.8×4.9×3.1inches
  • Weight: 1,005g / 2lb 3.5oz with battery and XQD memory card but without body cap, 915g /2lb 0.3oz camera body only

The Nikon D850 is arguably the best DSLR that has ever been made. It combines a 45.7Mp full-frame sensor with continuous shooting at up to 9fps with the optional MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack. Even without the battery pack, it can shoot at 7fps and both rates can be maintained for up to 51 14-bit lossless compressed raw files or 170 12-bit lossless compressed raw files.

When the viewfinder is in action there’s also a superb 153-point AF system with 99 cross-type sensors and 15 sensors that support f/8).

As the D850 has a backside-illuminated sensor and the microlenses are gapless the pixels have the maximum opportunity to gather light. This and the Expeed 5 processing engine has enabled Nikon to give the camera a standard sensitivity range of ISO 64-25,600. There are also expansion settings that extend the range to the equivalent of ISO 32-102,400, but we recommend staying with the native range.

It’s proved an incredibly popular DSLR with photographers who appreciate its ability to combine a high pixel count with speed and excellent low-light performance.

  • Camera type: Mirrorless
  • Sensor: 20.88Mp APS-C / DX (23.5x15.7mm) CMOS
  • Processing engine: Expeed 6
  • Lens mount: Nikon Z mount
  • Sensitivity range: ISO 100-51,200; expands to 204,800
  • Viewfinder: 0.39-inch 2,360,000-dot OLED electronic viewfinder
  • Screen: Tilting 3.2–inch 1,040,000-dot touchscreen
  • Autofocus: Hybrid (phase and contrast detection) AF with 209 AF points, Eye AF and Subject Tracking. Firmware V.20 adds Eye-detection AF for Animals as well as humans
  • Continuous Shooting: 11fps with continuous AF and exposure metering
  • Video: 4K at 30fps and Full-HD at 120fps
  • Storage: SD/SDHC/SDXC UHS-I
  • Connectivity: Snapbridge 2.6; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 126.5 x 93.5 x 60 mm / 5 x 3.7 x 2.4-inches
  • Weight: 450g / 15.9oz with battery and memory card but without body cap, 395g /14oz body only

The Nikon Z50 has some great advantages as a result of its mirrorless design. The 2.36-million-dot electronic viewfinder, for example, can show the image as it will be captured, complete with any exposure, white balance and Picture Control settings applied. And you can switch seamlessly from shooting using the viewfinder to using the 3.2-inch screen.

Further good news is that the 209-point autofocus system, which uses phase detection, is excellent even in low light. You’ll have no problem shooting sport or action with it.

But if you’re getting into video, or thinking about it, you can also shoot 4K video at up to 30fps, and there’s a mic port to connect an external microphone. You can also shoot Full HD footage at up to 120fps, which means you can really slow down action if you want to add a bit of drama.

Nikon’s SnapBridge technology is also built in and it does a great job of firing low-resolution copies of your images to a paired phone. It’s amazing how useful that is.

What’s more, Nikon now sells a Vlogger Kit for the Z50, which includes the the Z50 and 16-50mm lens, a SmallRig Vlogging Mounting Plate for Nikon Z50 Camera LCN2525, a Rode VideoMicro microphone and a Manfrotto Pixi mini tripod.

Although the Z6 and Z7 were Nikon’s first full-frame mirrorless cameras, and some might argue the company’s first serious mirrorless cameras, they avoided that ‘first generation’ feel. They are both excellent cameras. However, there’s one aspect that many photographers feel is a mistake for a high-end digital camera, they each only have one card slot. Happily, the mark II cameras correct this and the Nikon Z7II has two memory card slots, one that can accept CFexpress or XQD cards and the other that’s designed for SD-type UHS-II media.

By adding a second card slot, the Nikon Z7II corrects the main concern that photographers have about the original Z7. Adding a second Expeed 6 processing engine also boosts the continuous shooting rate, takes 4K shooting to 60P, deepens the burst depth and enhances the low-light capability of the autofocus system. It’s a solid update.

Inside the Nikon Z7II is the same full-frame 45.7MP backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor as is in the original Z7. This is a similar, but not identical sensor to the one that’s in the Nikon D850.

Nikon has paired the Z7II’s sensor with two Expeed 6 processing engines. That’s a first for Nikon, even its flagship DSLR, the Nikon D6, has a single Expeed 6 engine.

The Nikon Z7 II has a high dynamic range which means it can capture a wide range of tones in a single image. That’s good news for images straight from the camera, but it also translates into greater scope for adjusting images post-capture. On those occasions when you might need to reduce the exposure to preserve the brightest highlights, you can do so in the knowledge that the shadows and mid-tones can be brightened in processing.

The Z7 II’s raw files withstand substantial brightening well. In fact, low-ISO images can cope with being brightened by 4 or even 5EV with only a slight increase in the noise level.

Best Nikon camera for portraits

An excellent all-rounder, the speedy Nikon Z6 II is the best Nikon camera for portraits, building on the success of the original Z6.

Just as the Nikon Z6 is the 24Mp partner to the 45Mp Z7, the Nikon Z6II is the partner to the Z7II. Both are full-frame mirrorless cameras with the Nikon Z mount and they share the majority of features part from the sensor.

As the 24.5Mp camera in the second generation double-act, the Nikon Z6 II is the all-rounder that’s a bit nippier and more affordable than the high-resolution Z7 II. It’s primarily aimed at enthusiast photographers, but it’s also likely to appeal to professional wedding and portrait photographers, who don’t need the larger files sizes brought by the Z7 II.

While Nikon has stuck with the same 24.5Mp backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor as is in the Z6 for the Z6II, it has added a second Expeed 6 processing engine. That extra power enables the Mark II camera, more correctly known as the Nikon Z 6II, to have a maximum continuous shooting rate of 14fps, 2 fps higher than the Z6. That’s with full autofocus and metering capability and the rate can be maintained for 200 Jpegs or 124 uncompressed 12-Bit raw files.

There’s also the same 273-point hybrid focusing system that uses phase and contrast detection, with points covering 90% of the sensor. However, the tracking and low-light AF performance has been improved. In fact, Nikon claims that the Z6 II can focus down to -6EV with an f/2 or faster lens. That’s roughly equivalent to the light cast by a quarter of the moon.

Also, the human and animal eye AF that was added to the Z6 as a firmware upgrade has been enabled for the Z6 II so that it now operates in video mode. That’s good news for wedding, portrait, lifestyle and wildlife photographers and videographers.
