Nikon has announced that the Nikon Z 6 has won the 'Camera of the Year' award and the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens has won the 'Professional Standard Zoom Lens' award at the EISA Awards 2019-2020. 

This is the second international accolade for the Nikon Z 6 this year, having already achieved the award for 'Best Full Frame Camera Expert' at the TIPA World Award in April.

EISA comments for the Nikon Z 6, winner of the 'Camera of the Year' award 2019-2020: "Nikon has made a superb camera with sensational handling and robust build quality that delivers excellent images in almost any shooting situation. Its autofocus system includes Eye-Detection AF, allowing accurate focus wherever the subject is placed in the frame. The large and sharp electronic viewfinder provides a truly accurate preview of your images, while in-body image stabilisation helps keep your pictures sharp with every lens you use, including F-mount DSLR optics. Quite simply, this is the best all-round camera for serious photographers."

EISA comments for the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, winner of the ‘Professional Standard Zoom Lens’ award 2019-2020: "The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is a fast, professional standard zoom lens for the Nikon Z system. Solid and robust, it employs Nano Crystal coating and the new ARNEO coating to reduce flare and ghosting, while the front and rear elements have a fluorine coating to repel dust, oil and moisture. Thanks to a customisable control ring, the photographer can easily adjust the aperture or exposure compensation, while an OLED panel on the barrel displays aperture, focus distance or focal length. With stunning optical performance that combines high resolution and attractive bokeh, this lens is the perfect partner for Nikon Z series."
