A while ago I needed a speedy camera for a pretty interesting job. I ended up picking up a used Nikon D500 that I found in pristine condition, offered at a price that I couldn’t resist. The day after the assignment I went to Hawaii with my wife and decided to only pack the D500, to further familiarize myself with Nikon’s flagship APS-C camera and to decide if it was worthy of a permanent place in my camera bag.
It's now been a year since I picked up the mirrorless Nikon Z7. Since then, the camera has joined me to numerous assignments -- Travels all over Japan, Shooting deep underground at a construction site and of course, countless portrait sessions. Here are my thoughts on Nikon's first steps into the high-end mirrorless world.
As someone who prides himself for being something of an expert on domestic travel here in Japan, being very fond of Enoshima feels like something of a guilty pleasure. While I can think of a dozen of places equally far from Tokyo that makes for a great day-trip on those occasions when I need an escape from Tokyo, Enoshima has turned into a place I keep coming back to.
