  This review is about the type kit: Kit (Z 24-70mm F4 S)

  I have been using the camera for half a year and I will take away one star. First of all, let me tell you that I am a fan of the company for many reasons, but I always want to be objective. To start, the image quality is incredible and you will definitely never be disappointed. I don't work with video, but from what I've seen, it's fine. Now I want to move on to the biggest disadvantage of the camera, which is the auto focus. Guys, I can't believe it!! I was watching videos on YouTube that said the auto focus is mediocre, and I thought, okay, it can't be that bad (it costs €3000), after all, these are big professionals with extreme demands, but I was wrong. I have lost countless shots because of this auto focus. I really don't know how they managed it in this professional camera, but I have tried cameras costing €100 and €500 that had incomparably better auto focus. It misses photos where the point to focus on is obvious and focuses on the edge of the photo. It can even be that in one photo, 80% is a portrait and it focuses on the background where there is nothing. It's extremely bad, I'm not joking, and a phone costing €100 has better auto focus, and I have done all the updates but nothing, and I have tried all the modes. I really don't know how they managed this in a €3000 machine. Let's move on to the build quality, which is incredible; you really feel like you are holding something very premium. It is mostly made of metal, premium materials, and you feel it is very sturdy, with an amazing grip. The screen is good, the viewfinder seemed mediocre to me; a Canon M50 I had had a better one. The app for the phone is good; it generally has useful features like being able to transfer photos even when the camera is off, but it takes a long time to transfer photos. And something unrelated, just so you know, in the summer it heats up very quickly with a few photos; thankfully, I don't shoot videos and I am in northern Greece. And one last thing I didn't like is the fact that there is not much room for customization. You can't customize many things like I learned from the Canon M50 I had, where you could practically do everything.

  I have the older Z7 which is still in perfect condition after 5+ years of daily professional use. I got the Z 7ii because I needed a second one for work and the price was a steal.

  This review is about the type kit: Kit (Z 24-120mm F4 S)

  I bought it when it first came out, and 3 years later, I repurchased it the other day because for my tastes, I haven't found anything better for Landscape Photography in Full Frame.
  I don't photograph flying creatures, crawling things, dinosaurs, etc., so for me, its AF is more than excellent.
  In my personal opinion, it's probably not worth it for someone to spend extra money on a similar type of lens, regardless of the brand. All of them will satisfy even the most demanding photographer in one way or another.
  The one and only problem I have encountered, and from what I read, is likely a problem with specific CF Express cards and not the camera itself.
  With Sandisk CFX/2 regardless of capacity, it shows me Card Error. It does the same with Prograde. On the other hand, I haven't noticed any problems with XQDs.
  If you are going to buy this specific camera, I wish you good shots and truly great enjoyment!

  I give it 4 stars because it could be better! I bought it when it first came out and it really performs well, but with the competition growing and the arrival of the Z7II, Z8, and Z9, it falls short! Still, it is a very good camera for professional and non-professional use! If you know what you're doing, this camera can do wonders! I would have expected the price to drop a bit after so many years, because with this money, you can get something much more powerful!
  Overall, a very good camera. Well done, Nikon! (One day you will catch up to Sony, don't cry)
