Capture the stars this Black Friday: Save $800 on the Nikon Z7 II

The Nikon Z7 II is a brilliant mirrorless camera, capable of capturing images at 45.7MP and recording silk-smooth video in glorious 60FPS 4K. It's a wizard at astrophotography and, thanks to this Black Friday deal, you can save a ridiculous $800 on it. 

Get the Nikon Z7 II, with an FTZ II lens adapter from Amazon for $2446.90.

While you'll have to purchase your own lens, the included adapter lets you use F and Z-mount lenses. It's a superb all-round camera but, in particular, it excels at astrophotography and low-light shooting. 

In our review of the Nikon Z7 II we had high praise for this photographic powerhouse, not only for snapping the night sky but for all sorts of other uses from close-ups to wildlife photography. 

At a massive $800 off, the Nikon Z7 II is one of the best Black Friday deals you're likely to find. It's the lowest price we've ever seen so snap this up before it's gone.

This Nikon Z7 II is one of the most powerful mirrorless cameras you're likely to lay your hands and not just because of its impressively high 45.7MP, on a par with the DSLR Nikon D850. It's not exclusively for astrophotography but if that's one of your side-interests, this will absolutely do the job. 

However, it's also great for any photography task you throw at it and its dual card slots (UHS-II SD cards and XQD/CFexpress) mean you can juggle JPG and raw photography. And at 615g, it's impressively portable. 

This deal includes an adapter to let you use F or Z-fitting lenses, which is handy if you've got one you can salvage from a previous camera. But since this is just the body you will need to source your own lens. 

Or if you're after something a little different, here's our guide to the best mirrorless cameras.
