Why should you consider a Nikon Z7 in 2023? Well, I am here to tell you! But before we get into that I should let you know that I am not a full-time, super-technical photographer. I work in the field of marketing, and my camera is a tool I use daily for creation. My perspective is not from someone who is shooting wildlife or high-speed action sports, but from a full-time marketer, focusing on the ever-changing realm of social media.
