With the Nikon Z 5 full-frame camera, you'll capture photos and movies in unimagined quality. This mirrorless camera is based on Nikon's Z bayonet, the largest bayonet of any full-frame system. It allows more light to reach the camera sensor, giving you the freedom to create images with greater detail, depth, and color.Powerful built-in 5-axis image stabilization lets you shoot with exposure times up to five stops slower. Photos turn out sharp and video smooth - with any NIKKOR Z lens. Hybrid AF with 273 points is fast, precise, and extremely consistent. Focus is quickly acquired and reliably tracked - no matter where in the frame your subject moves.Two slots accommodate fast UHS-II SD cards. The card slots are easy to configure - such as slot 1 for normal recording and slot 2 as a backup.

The Nikon Z5 is not a surprise package, it has a lot in common with the Z6/Z6 Il: the 24 MP sensor (but no BSI CMOS), the integrated image stabiliser, the high-quality OLED viewfinder and a similar range of functions. At least this applies to still image photography; filming is more limited...
Simple operation, top image quality and a really good viewfinder - the Z5 satisfies even the most demanding photographers. The kit zoom is nice and small and surprisingly good: in terms of image quality, it can keep up with significantly more expensive lenses. There are two main drawbacks: The continuous shooting speed is comparatively slow at 4.5 frames per second, and the Z5 films with pixel-perfect...
The Z 5 is Nikon's entry-level model into the full-frame Z world. It is also available in a practical kit with the Nikkor Z 4-6.3/24-50 mm, which can be locked in a compact parking position. In combination with the FTZ adapter, SLR lenses can be used. To get a taste of full-frame air at a favourable price, the Z 5 can be recommended...
The Nikon Z5 is an affordable entry into the KB world: savings are made in features, not in image quality. With RAW, the images get a quality boost from ISO 100. At high sensitivities, most users should be satisfied with LR2. LR1 can sometimes be an option, as can the LR3 setting if the subjects are large and the noise is more noticeable. Even with LR3, RAW advantages over JPEG are clear.
