Nikon Z6 II Body · Nikon
Wait Last updated: Jul 08, 2026

Is this a good time to buy?

Legacy Value

The Z6 II (2020) was superseded by the Z6 III, a large leap in sensor, autofocus, and video. The Z6 II remains a well-rounded body but is a generation behind on autofocus.

What to do now: A good value buy new-on-sale or used. If you want modern subject-tracking autofocus, compare the Z6 III and Z5 II before deciding.
