Nikon Z 6

“The Nikon Z 6 is the best camera for night photography. The more I have used it, the more I like it. The Z 6 separates itself from other great night photography cameras by getting 1 to 2 stops better with cleaner ISOs. That is game-changing camera night photography. It means I can pretty much shoot in any dark sky condition, even with an f/4 lens, and come away with excellent image quality.”

Nikon D780

“The D780 is widely reported to have the same sensor as the Z 6, which in itself would make it one of the best cameras ever produced for night photography. The D780 feels familiar, but offers improvements in image quality and user experience in line with what you would expect from a next-generation model. If one hasn’t been eager to jump on the mirrorless wagon, the D780 offers some excellent reasons to stick with a DSLR.”

“The D850 offers outstanding image quality, close to medium-format resolution and high-end features (many of which are extremely useful for night photographers)—all for roughly half the price of the D5.”
