Nikon Z1695_EDI_2 2024
The 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor deliver 20 fps raw shooting and internal 8K60 video without a mechanical shutter, enabling silent operation up to 1/32,000 sec. Its 493-point phase-detect AF system focuses down to -9 EV with deep-learning subject tracking, while the compact 816g body retains a full-size HDMI port and four-axis tilting touchscreen. This hybrid camera best suits wildlife and sports photographers who need silent, distortion-free bursts alongside filmmakers requiring internal N-RAW and ProRes RAW recording in a travel-ready form factor.
