Z 5

My camera for several years was the Nikon D610, which I liked very much. After much thought and research I decided to go digital. More investigation convinced me that the Nikon Z5 was the best one to suit my needs as a portrait, street, food, flower, and travel photographer. Since I do a lot of travel photography, the lens I chose was the Z 24-200mm, eliminating the need to carry several lenses. I like the fact that the Z5 holds two SD cards and that the photos are tack sharp. The camera and lens have exceeded my expectations. Both are top-notch! I'm extremely pleased.

This was to replace my f1 . is lighter than my 850 and solves my need for a lighter camera and I can use all my lens from my 850. well with the fx lens.I have been a fan of Nikon since I purchased my F2 film camera in the early 70's.this camera is a jewel I love it. RAG

I moved up to the Z5 from my D50 i bought 15 yrs ago. Its a great entry into the mirrorless system. I'm learning all the features it has an it has alot. I bought it as a kit with the 24-50 lens, and i recomend getting the larger lens also. I bought a 50-250 and it works really well. I bought it because i can use the FTZ adapter with my older nikon lens. The pics are sharp and true to life. I print on an Epson printer and so far the reproduction is spot on. I love to 5 focal points to use. They are great for bird shots in trees, focal point on the bird and disfuse the tree branches makes it really stand out. I so far have no issuse with it except the high end S lens are really costly. The film mode is nice also, and useing my 50-250 i focused on my grandson at bat from right field. As he hit and ran to first the lens control was smooth to keep him in focus with very little vibration. All in all im very happy with my choice.

A lot of camera for under $1,000. The two SD cards are really handy. I also have a Z6 and a Z50, and I feel the Z5 at present is a much better deal than the Z50. The images the camera makes are very good. I think Nikon had a price point they were shooting for, so they eliminated the top LCD from the Z6, no BSI, and back LCD as well as EVF don't have as much resolution as the Z6. Less camera than the Z6, but much more camera than the Z50 for almost the same price.

This Z5 is my second Nikon Mirrorless having bought a Z50 earlier. Both these cameras are outstanding deals at their price point. I still have my D500 which I will never give up for shooting wildlife. I have also used the new Z5 with the adapter and my Nikon 200/500mm zoom and it works great. I absolutely haven't a complaint on the capabilities of this Z5 full frame camera. Auto focus is spot on. The 24/70mm F4 is super sharp on the Z5. I also have used the Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 and it totally rocks on this camera. The built in Ibis alone in this camera is a great package addition. The only thing I added on the Z5 is a Speedlight. This camera is a keeper and at a price point anyone can switch to full frame. Nikon has a real winner here. Please note The Z50 is also a wonderful travel camera. Small, light plus the two native kit VR lenses are fantastic and super sharp and all you would need for most situations when you want to go light while on the road. I am keeping them both because they fit a major nitch in my photography want list. Nikon has always been a bright spot in my day.

There is so much to like in this camera. Its size, versatility and functionality to list only a few. One of its best features is that it uses the Z mount lenses. This last feature opens the door to it doing so many things well.

Great Mirrorless Camera for the money has 2 card slots as the 6II and images are amazing

It’s a great camera for the price. The Z lenses are expensive, but F-mount works just fine on it. I shot a wedding with it as soon as I got it and had no issues. I think my Z6 may have slightly better image quality, but the difference is minimal. It’s definitely a step up from the d750 I used to shoot with (which was a fantastic camera).

Amazing camera for a great price! I love it
