Z 5

The perfect full-frame mirrorless for a photography enthusiast. Works beautifully with the wide range of mirrorless lens from Nikon.

Nikon makes the best digital cameras and the Z5 is no exception. Nikon calls it a "beginners" camera. I am not a beginner and I feel the camera is much more than that. Quality build and fantastic photographs. Besides ... when did a $1,300 camera become a beginners camera? I appreciate the touch screen menu ... would have preferred a fully articulating screen. The Z5 screen simply "tilts". Make sure that you pair the camera with a full-frame, Z-mount lens to experience the full potential of the photographing experience.

I am new to photography so I didn't have much to compare it to. But it was fairly easy to learn, and a great introduction to learning some fundamentals of photography. It ignited a passion ine I didn't know was there. I unfortunately dropped the camera and the screen cracked and it now is kinda glitchy. Luckily with some support from family I was able to get the z8. So as far as an entry level mirrorless camera goes, I think it was very intuitive and fun to shoot with.

My first full-frame mirrorless camera. Love the compact size. Love the fact it has dual cards slots that use SD cards and not the expensive XQDs. The Z5 and Z 24-120 4S combination produce incredible pictures at a reasonable cost. The viewfinder is just OK, but good enough for still photography. Knowing this camera is not really suited for action wildlife photography, I think focusing is fine. I purchased a table tripod to use in low light conditions. I am happy with this camera. No reason to upgrade right now except to a Z7 for higher resolution. Only shoots at 4-5fps not an issue. I don't miss the extra viewing window found on the Z6.

After looking at several options, I ended up purchasing the Nikon Z5, one of the deciding factors was the collection of F mount lenses, I allready own, and with the F2 Z adapter I can use these, although in manual mode . I have had the Z5 for about a week, and haven’t had much time to use it, however, so far I am impressed, very nice camera.

The Z 5 is a great camera. I really like the size. It’s easy to carry around and the photo quality is superb.So far no complaints.
