Nikon Z6 II (body): $1,996$1,596.95 at Adorama

Nikon Z6 II (body): was $1,996 now $1,596.95 at Adorama
The Nikon Z6 II might be the best Nikon camera for most people – it's a great all-rounder that's superb for stills and video, and it's great value to boot. The original Z6 was already a decent mirrorless flagship but the second iteration brings a second card slot, improved autofocus, and quicker burst shooting modes. The Z6 II was recently replaced by a third-gen model, but the Z6 II remains a capable hybrid camera that's better value – although the lowest price it has been is $1,496.95 so keep an eye on this price.

DSLRs might feel dead in 2024, but there's plenty to enjoy about the Nikon D780. It's Nikon's most modern DSLR with fast liveview autofocus for video – which is typically a Nikon DSLR's achilles heel. You also get a fantastic user experience with this full-frame all-rounder: it boasts superb battery life, a bright optical viewfinder and a wide selection of lenses, which are much cheaper than their mirrorless equivalents. 

Until now we'd struggle to recommend the D780 over the Z6 II because the price was a little high for a camera that's now several years old. However, the massive discount in the US and UK changes the picture. Almost the same price as the Z6 II, the choice is now about which format you prefer. If you need more help to decide, we've put together a mirrorless vs DSLR cameras guide.
