NEW Adventure Camera Gear for 2022

The Nikon Z7 II brings the advantages of modern mirrorless design to my new Adventure Camera Gear, offering a high-resolution 45.7MP sensor in a lighter, more compact body compared to its DSLR counterpart. Its improved autofocus, in-body image stabilization, and dual processors make it a reliable tool for capturing both fast-moving wildlife and intricate landscapes. Built with weather sealing and durability in mind, the Z7 II is well-suited for the demands of the trail, backcountry, or rugged travel photography, while still delivering the kind of image quality that professionals expect.

Paired with the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, the Z7 II becomes a powerhouse for wildlife, portraits, and detail-oriented landscapes. The fast f/2.8 aperture allows for excellent subject isolation and low-light performance—perfect for photographing animals at dawn or dusk when conditions are often challenging. The lens’s optical stabilization, combined with the camera’s IBIS, makes it easier to shoot handheld without worrying about blur, even when zoomed in. For outdoor photographers who want to capture everything from a distant eagle to a tight mountain ridge composition, this lens provides sharpness, speed, and versatility in a rugged package.

For those times when packing light is the priority, the Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR is an excellent all-in-one option. Covering everything from wide landscapes to telephoto reach, it eliminates the need to carry multiple lenses on long hikes. While not as fast as the 70-200mm in low light, it’s impressively sharp across its range and benefits from vibration reduction, making it practical for handheld shooting on the move. This lens shines when you want to travel lean and still be ready for both sweeping vistas and spontaneous wildlife encounters along the trail.

Together, the Z7 II paired with these two lenses gives outdoor photographers a versatile, professional-grade system. With the 70-200mm f/2.8, you have a specialized tool for fast action, wildlife, and creative depth of field. With the 24-200mm, you gain flexibility, mobility, and simplicity for days when the adventure matters as much as the photos. Whether trekking into alpine terrain, photographing coastal landscapes, or exploring dense forests, this kit provides the balance of performance and portability that makes mirrorless systems so appealing.
