4K 30p could have been 4K 60p; un-cropped; Focus point control & subject tracking implementation could be improved; Button layout quirks not changed from previous model

Mastering the Nikon Z6 II / Z7 II is a new book in the NikoniansPress/RockyNook series by Darrell Young ( digitaldarrell ) , providing a wealth of experience-based information and insights for owners of the new Z6 II or Z7 II camera.

In a rather weird way, the new Nikon Z6 II reminds me of one of the favorite vintage bicycles in my collection. It’s not as fast as my racing bike, nor as bombproof as my mountain bike. And it doesn’t accommodate the full range of racks and luggage as the bike I use for loaded touring.

What's The Best puts the Nikon Z6ii to the test to see if it's worth parting with your hard-earned cash. Keep reading to find out more.

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.
