  • 24MP full-frame sensor, 5-axis IBIS, Tilting touch LCD, High-magnification OLED EVF, Dust and splash protection, Dual UHS-II card slots, Works with Nikon F lenses via adapter,
  • Cropped 4K recording, Autofocus a step behind Canon and Sony, Meager 4.5fps continuous drive, Z lens library still in development, Few third-party Z lenses available
  • The Nikon Z 5 offers a lot for photographers moving from a Nikon SLR system to mirrorless, even though it omits some of the latest bells and whistles to meet its price point...

  • Intuitive interface with numerous manual controls, Rugged weather resistant build, Impressive image quality
  • Inconvenient placement of Function buttons
  • The New Nikon Z5 is a very attractive option for photographers on a budget who are looking for a full-frame camera. And in combination with one of Nikon's compact and affordable lenses like the 24-50mm f/4-6.3, it makes for a very compact package that del...

  • Just about anyone seeking a well-priced, stills-oriented full-frame mirrorless camera
  • Video shooters. Those wishing to capture super-fast action (in which Z5's 4.5 fps burst may not be quick enough)
  • The Nikon Z5 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck stills-oriented camera on the market, which is why it's earns our gold award.Read moreSample galleryPups, mountains and summertime vibes. Check out our initial Z5 sample gallery.View gallery...

  • Solid design and build, Best features of the pricier Z6 at a cheaper price, Crazy fast 1/8000 shutter speed, Great connectivity with USB-C and SnapBridge app, Z-Mount lenses continue to expand, Relocated mode dial is more convenient to control, Five-axis
  • Non-BSI sensor, Average 4.5 shots per second burst, 1.7 crop on 4K video, Lower resolution back monitor,

  Published: 2020-08-22, Author: Adam , review by: digitalcameraworld.com

  • Solid, robust feeling build, Good EVF and tilting rear screen, Twin memory card slots
  • Only 4.5fps continuous shooting, 4K video is cropped, 24-50mm kit lens is limiting
  • The Z5 is a very good entry-level full frame camera, but its relatively high launch price may just persuade some potential purchasers that it's worth forking out the relatively little extra for the Z6. Compared to other brands, the Z5 is neither cheap nor...

  • Solid construction and weatherproofing, Twin SD card slots, In-body stabilization
  • Compact but limiting kit lens, Weak 4.5fps burst shooting, Cropped 4K video
  • The Nikon Z5 is a very nice camera to handle and use. It works well. Our only misgivings are around the features and the pricing. The Z5 is a pretty advanced camera in many ways, with its in-body stabilisation and twin cards slots, yet curiously hobbled i...
