Z5II

I am astounded at the versatility and capabilities of the Z5ii. I have a Z8, and I was using my trusty D850 as a backup. I sold the D850 and all of my F-lenses and bought the Z5ii as a backup. I might still be in the honeymoon period, but so far I am using, and enjoying, the X5ii more than my Z8.

the Z5 II is a true gift from Nikon. I own almost all their mirrorless DSLRs minus the Z9.I didnt need this camera at all. But, it truly does almost everything its big brothers do in a small package. I am a street photographer for the past 45 years, shooting mostly in INDIA and the underdeveloped world and i cannot wait to take this amazing weight saving Nikon with me to Delhi along with my Z8. This is NOT an ENTRY camera. There is nothing i dont like about the camera. My Z6 III and ZF might take a long vacation, or be sold because for my needs this baby does everything i need it to do. BRAVO NIKON.... thank you.

I have been a Nikon amateur hobbyist since my early 20's (I'm now 80) and after retiring have become a more avid wildlife photographer. When the Z5ii with its bird detection autofocus feature became available, I simply had to give it a try. I'm impressed! It did a fine job of picking up an egret over 200 yards away, using just the 24 to 120 Z lens that I bought for this camera. I have been using a D500 with a 200 to 500 zoom for birds in flight, and I look forward to using that lens along with a FTZii adapter on the Z5ii.

Extremely pleased with the Z5ii. Autofocus is quick and accurate. Images are with excellent contrast and dynamic range. Great addition to my Z8 and Z6iii. Excellent for my work with birds and other wildlife. I use it as a backup to my Z8 and couldn't be happier.

Read all the reviews both online and YouTube. Goes beyond expectations! Low-light shooting is impeccable. Works flawlessly with the z24-200 and z28-75/2.8. Far exceeds my wildest dreams for a camera! Nikon prevails again!

I am using this new Z5ii as a backup camera for my Z8, and to be honest the last wedding I shot it was shot completely with the Z5ii and my Z8 stayed in my bag. It has amazing quality and I love the mechanical shutter. After using the Z8, grip and huge lenses, the z5ii was a breath of fresh air with its compact size but still a deep enough grip to run and gun. This is the most well rounded camera for the best price you can currently buy.

Great digital camera with plenty of features! Unfortunately Nikon is advertising it with one year free Adobe Lightroom that I never received. I have contacted Nikon by email and phone with no response or results. They are ignoring my emails that I send them?
