The Z6 II offers a higher video frame rate of 4K at 60 FPS than the Z6's 30 FPS, allowing for crisper footage, especially slow-motion video. Then there's the faster burst rate of 14FPS for high-speed shooting, a greater buffer capacity, and a more immediate and snappier autofocus thanks to the dual processing engines. One of the enhancements is a second memory card slot, offering an instant backup for peace of mind when on a shoot. Still, if you are going to be shooting a range of different styles, the slightly more sophisticated Nikon Z6 II is worth considering as an excellent all-rounder. The Nikon Z6 (featured in our 'honorable mentions' below) is a great camera for astrophotography.

There's Snapbridge file transfer, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transfer, ethernet, and USB-C. More impressive functionality is the range of connectivity options. Even when we tested it while shooting for over 3 hours of astro shooting, it only lost less than 20 percent juice. The hefty battery on the Z9 is ridiculously long-lasting. We don't think this is a good choice for astrophotographers who only shoot astro, but it would be fabulous for the occasional astro shoot combined with the abovementioned purposes. The Z9 is also eerily good at picking out eyes and faces, something else that lends perfectly to weddings and sporting events. It shoots at 20FPS RAW and a blistering 120FPSP to low-res JPEG. The camera is perfect for sports and wildlife photography and capturing those fleeting special moments at weddings or events thanks to its 'market-leading' burst shooting.



It is an expensive bit of kit, so more suited to professionals who make money from photos or videos as it's incredibly capable at both. After our Nikon Z9 review, we gave it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars, and we think it is one of the top-performing digital cameras ever made.
