Competition news: Nikon announes the Z7II and Z6II but fails to wow anyone…

Today Nikon announced the Z7II (specs here) and Z6II (specs here). And checking the reaction from youtubers and reviewers the cameras clearly don’t put a smile on anyone faces Don’t get me wrong, these new cameras feature a series of smaller improvements that fix the many shortcomings of the first generation….and yes they finally have two card slots :)

But both cameras feature no new tech, no fancy headline, and nothing that can take away the spotlight from the current Sony and Canon cameras. In 2021 Nikon really needs to throw out some big Nikon Z8 or Z9 gun if they want to stand a chance in this mirrorless race
