Extremely awesome camera. Easy to use. Every single photo is high end. Love the ISO when shooting professional football...hands down. Best camera I've ever owned. Nikon you hit a home run...

I'm giving this five stars for overall value and functionality (since I can't do half-star ratings so I'll give NIkon the benefit of the doubt here). This is perhaps the best value in entry-level Full frame cameras there is, with dual card slots, in body stabilization and a very good sensor. Obviously the two biggest drawbacks here are the focus tracking and video (4k) with the heavy crop, but if you're mainly a stills photographer and looking for a budget full frame camera, or a second/backup camera, this is it. If you happen to catch them on sale it's an even better value, but even at the regular price, it's still a lot of camera for the money, and the image quality rivals that of some of it's peers and even previous notable Nikon cameras like the D810 and D750/D780 despite perhaps having older sensor technology (don't let that steer you away from this great camera, the camera performs very well and on par with the Z6 series minus the auto focusing and the video capabilities, but from an imaging/stills standpoint, it's a very good cheaper alternative if you don't want to spend $2k on the Z6).. I mean this camera includes many features you would previously only find in higher-end cameras (like the in-body stabilization and dual card slots).

I love it. The size, the weight, the image quality, the price.One key factor for me was the FTZ mount adapter, having 4 DSLR lenses and being able to use them was a no brainer to switch to the Z5.

I have been having a very photographic experience with my Z5. It meets and even exceeds my photographic expectations.

This is the Camera I've needed to get the right Shots. As a Lapidary I married this Camera with the and with this combination105mm Macro Lenz to get up close and Personal. It is a must have in my business of Custom Jewelry. I used to take pictures with my Samsung 7 but it couldn't cut it. Pictures of Gems are like documentation showing the fine quality of Faceting workmanship.

I'm a hobbyist photographer, mostly focused on travel and landscapes. After 5 years with a D3400, I wanted to move to full frame and mirrorless. I couldn't be happier with the decision. The Z5 has produced some spectacular photos and has allowed me to dive deeper into my hobby, turning it into a passion. I considered a Z6ii, but the main advantages (video and burst FPS) weren't of interest to me, so I couldn't pass up the value of the Z5. Even though the Z lenses are expensive and will probably cause my kit to grow slower than I'd like, they are insanely impressive lenses that certainly make the most of the Z5's capabilities.

I’ve made the switch from Canon to Nikon. And I’m thrilled as well as impressed with the Z5

I have been a long time Nikon user starting with the D50, then the D300. My Z5 purchase was quite the upgrade and I couldn't be happier. I was reluctant at first to move from the DX to the FX format. However, I am so impressed with the FX format that I immediately purchased a 50mm Nikkor lens to accompany my 24 - 200 kit lens. The advancements in technology are impressive and it didn't take me long to transition to the mirrorless camera from my old DSLR. Great job Nikon!

I am a long time user of Nikons starting with the F, then F2 and many models film and digital since. I also have Canon and Fujifilm and like all of them, but I really like the new Z series. I have two Zfc's and have used them extensively in travel. I can use my many DX and FX lenses as well as Leica and others. Recently I decided to buy the Z5 to make better use of my FX lenses and also the excellent Z 24-70 S lens that I've been using on my Zfcs. Currently I am photographing many church activities for which my SB800 and SB 700 speedlites work so well with the new Z5. Also I like the two SD slots that use the inexpensive SD cards I used in all my other digital cameras. I don't need the features that the more expensive express cards used on the Z6 and Z7 series. I expect the Z8 will probably use those cards so I decided to go for the Z5. Handling is outstanding and the menu is familiar from other Nikons. This is an excellent Nikon and is far better than one might imagine.
