NikonZ 5 with Compact Zoom Lens | Our most compact full-frame mirrorless stills/video camera with 24-50mm zoom lens | Nikon USA Model

This a fabulous camera ! So are the Z series . Nikon takes photography , to a whole new level .

No regrets amazing full frame camera

Oooohhhh boy! I love this camera. It takes killer pictures, and straight out of the box it was easy to use. It’s also small enough to haul around. So far the battery has been doing great. The only complaint I have with this is the charge light never changes from red to green. But that’s it.

Here's the bottom line on this model. It is the same Nikon quality you know, love, and expect at a much more attainable price point. It has dual SD UHS-II card slots, and uses the newest variation of the EN-EL15 battery from Nikon (EN-EL15c). I refuse to call it "entry-level."So if you have been on the fence about Nikon mirrorless because of the single XQD card slot in the Z6 or Z7, this is a great way to dip your toe in the mirrorless water and even dive in if you want.SD cards are ubiquitous and inexpensive. It has been flawless with the FTZ adapter and my F mount lenses. It does uncropped 1080p HD video, and can do cropped 4K video. I don't do much video at all, so I don't mind. 1080p is enough for me right now anyway. I am not a pro (maybe someday...). I do wish it had a little faster frames per second for stills. 4.5 is ok, but not great.I liked the Z5 so much, I sold off my F bodies and bought a second Z5! Now I have two of these for the day I go pro as a wedding photographer! You always need a backup.There's a lot of reviewers on the 'Tube who have been talking down to Nikon for its mirrorless efforts, but the fact of the matter is, Nikon is doing a great job in its first generation of full frame mirrorless. The Z5 (for me), Z6II, and Z7II (both unreleased at the time of this review), have everything we need. There's no reason to jump ship to another brand now. IBIS and Eye autofocus are all onboard the Nikon mirrorless cameras.Don't get caught up in the reviews (especially outdated ones) that make it seem like everyone buying cameras is a professional wedding photographer who needs 4k video 100% of the time in one hand while photographing birds, wildlife, and sports at 20fps in the other hand, all at the same time. If that's not you, do you care if you have one card slot, or can't record in uncropped 4k? All we need is a little perspective. Find the right camera for you and go have fun.

I absolutely love my camera!! Their quality is amazing and I love the telephoto lens! It also transfers the photos to my home within seconds which is so awesome!

COOL WEATHER PERFORMANCE THIS AM IT WAS 48 DEG F IN PHOENIX AND MY Z5 EVF AND SCREEN BECAME INTERMITTENT....TOOK A DOZEN SHOTS AND ALL WORKED FINE. WALKED A HALF MILE, TURNED CAMERA ON AND IT TOOK ABOUT 30 SECONDS FOR EVF TO WORK. A COUPLE OF TIMES I JUST GAVE UP ON THE SHOT. I HAD A SPARE FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. CAME HOME. IN THE HOUSE ALL IS FINE.NIKON SPEC APPARENTLY SAYS 32 DEG F. HAD PREVIOUSLY USED ONE EVENING WITH TEMPS AROUND 40 DEGREES. FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD ...WITH AROUND 7K SHOTS.For Nikon stills shooter the ONLY thing missing from this camera is the pop up flash...The OLED viewfinder is just wonderful...Auto focus very quick and accurate..Love the AF joystickIn body and lens stabilization have allowed me to shoot handheld with low shutter speedsHave run auto ISO to 6400, with no noise that I could see...Rated 8X that.I have shot humming birds a 1/6000Thought I would miss the top plate display, but the i button gives much more info...Took about 50 shots to get used to it...And then the ability to quick change all settings from the i screenTouchscreen by far the most responsive of any camera I have used.Dual SD card slots for me are a must have...Sale price was less than you can purchase a new D750 today...Wonderful upgrade from the D750 in every way except the flash. Very long way from the D7000.The focus motor on my 24-120 lens on the D750 went out....Justified new buy vs repair...

I've been using the Nikon Z5 for a few months now, and it's exceeded my expectations in every way. The image quality is outstanding, especially in low light conditions. The autofocus is lightning fast and accurate, making it a breeze to capture those spontaneous moments. The in-body stabilization is a game-changer, giving me sharp shots even with slower shutter speeds.The ergonomic design feels comfortable in my hands, and the intuitive touchscreen interface makes navigation a breeze. I love the EVF - it's clear, bright, and provides an accurate preview of the final shot. The Z5's battery life has also been impressive, lasting through a full day of shooting without needing a recharge.Switching from my old DSLR was seamless, thanks to the included FTZ adapter that allowed me to use my existing F-mount lenses. The Z5's compact size and lightweight build make it a great travel companion, without compromising on performance.Overall, the Nikon Z5 is a fantastic mirrorless camera that strikes the perfect balance between affordability and high-end features. Whether you're a beginner looking to step up your photography game or a seasoned enthusiast, this camera won't disappoint. Highly recommended!
