In our Nikon Z6 II camera review, we found that there's a lot to like. It's an improvement on the predecessor, it's a good all-rounder and we think it's the best rugged option for cameras when it comes to astrophotography.

There's no hiding that this is a high-quality camera and a good deal, but what makes it a high-quality camera? Well, on top of the 24.5MP sensor and 4K at 60fps video, it features an ISO range of 100-51,200, 14FPS burst rate, a 273-point autofocus system, a weather-resistant design and a comfortable feel. This, therefore, is at the top end of what part-time photographers and hobbyists could want while being a more-than-acceptable backup option for professionals. Its quality is apparent, while not necessarily being the market leader apart from its durable design, across the board.
The $500 discount is eye-catching. This is a deal worth considering as on top of the impressive specs and design of this camera, the accessories that come with it are worth having. A carry bag is essential for transporting the camera around with ease and without damaging it, the cleaning kit helps maintain the Nikon Z6 II in top condition and the 64GB SD card is essential for memory and storing plenty of stills and videos. The sling strap and screen protector are also essential for helping with the transporting and maintenance of the camera.
Key features: 24.5MP sensor, 4K video, 100-51,200 ISO range, weather-resistant design, 14fps burst rate, 273-point autofocus system.
