The Nikon Z7 is a 45.7 megapixel full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Nikon. The camera was officially announced on August 23, 2018, for release in September 2018. It was the first camera to use Nikon's new Z-mount system; the second model, released in November 2018, was the 24.5 megapixel Nikon Z6.
Three Z-mount lenses were available by December 2018, the Nikkor Z 24-70 mm f/4 S, the 35 mm f/1.8 S and the 50 mm f/1.8 S, all three covering a full-frame (FX) image size. The F-to-Z mount adapter accessory allows for using Nikon lenses from the digital SLR series with full compatibility.
In late 2018, Nikon also published a "roadmap" of lenses to be released between 2019 and 2021. A total of nine products were included in that list.
The Nikon Z7 was succeeded by the Nikon Z7II in October 2020.
