  • Exceeds expectations Exceeds expectations
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
I have been a Nikon DSLR shooter for well over a decade. I currently own the D7200(2), D600, D610, D800 and D850 and was reluctant to transition to mirrorless. I had heard a lot of negativities about the initial Nikon mirrorless cameras, which fueled my reluctance. Nikon's continued mirrorless updates encouraged me purchase the Z5. My initial expectations for this camera were more or less, middle of the road. I have owned this camera for six weeks and it has exceeded my expectations. From a physical perspective, I have large hands and generally prefer the larger body of a DSLR. From a performance perspective, I find the eye auto-focus, IBIS, customization and image quality to be better than expected. I will be using this camera primarily for still photos. The attached images were taken handheld using a Tokina 100mm 2.8 macro lens with FTZ adapter, in manual focus or Tamron 17-35mm 2.8/4 in auto-focus. Although this is considered an entry level camera, the overall features make it much more. ... show more

  • I'm glad I chose Z5
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
Why I chose Z5 If you're upgrading from an entry-level DSLR camera and like me, you're focused on image quality because you like shooting portraits/ppl, landscapes and street, this is THE camera to choose. It's because, nothing more than what Z5 offers is needed and money can be saved for LENSES. There are other cameras (mainly from Canon and Sony) that can be considered but for me, nothing beats Nikon colors, so I chose Z5. It came with 0 damage and works fine. Low light I'm happy with the photos I've taken so far, even in low light, where image stabilization can let you shoot at even 1/9 shutter speed (while hand held) and if you're hands are steady there's no shake blur. Z5 handles high ISO just fine, and you won't even need ISO that's too high 40% of the time, unless the lighting is terrible and boring anyway. Two slots for SD cards can be lifesaving for commissioned photography, as you know the cards can be damaged and photos - lost. You can't afford that. I must say, however, when I insert the 2nd SD card, the light that indicates processing turns on for ab. half a minute, so you can't take pictures before it's gone. I hope it's temporary or it's the card itself to blame. I'll update this if the issue gets resolved. I haven't taken the camera in the rainy day yet, but it's weather sealed and I expect that all is fine. Ergonomically, Z5 is very comfortable - you have all the buttons and dials placed intuitively and you have customizable buttons - you can choose what they do. FYI: The sensor is similar to the one in D750 but Z5 is still better due to a newer processor. If you're into Nikon system, new Nikon Z line is already the present and obviously the future and the next thing to focus on is this - going for a more expensive bodies won't make you a better photographer, that choice should be made out of necessity, like if you're into vlogging you'll need a fully articulated screen (Z5 rotates on only horizontal axis, so that's up and down), and so on. Otherwise Z5 is excellent. Match this body with cool lenses and do your best in practice. Good luck! ... show more

  • Fantastic Mirrorless Camera for Enthusiasts!
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
I've been using the Nikon Z5 for a few months now, and it's exceeded my expectations in every way. The image quality is outstanding, especially in low light conditions. The autofocus is lightning fast and accurate, making it a breeze to capture those spontaneous moments. The in-body stabilization is a game-changer, giving me sharp shots even with slower shutter speeds. The ergonomic design feels comfortable in my hands, and the intuitive touchscreen interface makes navigation a breeze. I love the EVF - it's clear, bright, and provides an accurate preview of the final shot. The Z5's battery life has also been impressive, lasting through a full day of shooting without needing a recharge. Switching from my old DSLR was seamless, thanks to the included FTZ adapter that allowed me to use my existing F-mount lenses. The Z5's compact size and lightweight build make it a great travel companion, without compromising on performance. Overall, the Nikon Z5 is a fantastic mirrorless camera that strikes the perfect balance between affordability and high-end features. Whether you're a beginner looking to step up your photography game or a seasoned enthusiast, this camera won't disappoint. Highly recommended! ... show more

I bought this Z5 as a backup camera and I’m impressed with the image quality. I mainly shoot with a Z9, and this camera has impressive image quality for the price.

  • A Good Entry-Lever mirrorless
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
A step up in sensor quality from my DSLRs. Since buying the Z5, I have upgraded to a more professional camera, but for those starting out with mirrorless photography, this is a good choice. I now keep a wide-angle lens on my Z5 and use it mostly for family shots indoors. It's very easy to understand, and it's a step up from a DSLR or a cell phone. ... show more

  • The Nikon Mirrorless For All of Us
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
Here's the bottom line on this model. It is the same Nikon quality you know, love, and expect at a much more attainable price point. It has dual SD UHS-II card slots, and uses the newest variation of the EN-EL15 battery from Nikon (EN-EL15c). I refuse to call it "entry-level." So if you have been on the fence about Nikon mirrorless because of the single XQD card slot in the Z6 or Z7, this is a great way to dip your toe in the mirrorless water and even dive in if you want. SD cards are ubiquitous and inexpensive. It has been flawless with the FTZ adapter and my F mount lenses. It does uncropped 1080p HD video, and can do cropped 4K video. I don't do much video at all, so I don't mind. 1080p is enough for me right now anyway. I am not a pro (maybe someday...). I do wish it had a little faster frames per second for stills. 4.5 is ok, but not great. I liked the Z5 so much, I sold off my F bodies and bought a second Z5! Now I have two of these for the day I go pro as a wedding photographer! You always need a backup. There's a lot of reviewers on the 'Tube who have been talking down to Nikon for its mirrorless efforts, but the fact of the matter is, Nikon is doing a great job in its first generation of full frame mirrorless. The Z5 (for me), Z6II, and Z7II (both unreleased at the time of this review), have everything we need. There's no reason to jump ship to another brand now. IBIS and Eye autofocus are all onboard the Nikon mirrorless cameras. Don't get caught up in the reviews (especially outdated ones) that make it seem like everyone buying cameras is a professional wedding photographer who needs 4k video 100% of the time in one hand while photographing birds, wildlife, and sports at 20fps in the other hand, all at the same time. If that's not you, do you care if you have one card slot, or can't record in uncropped 4k? All we need is a little perspective. Find the right camera for you and go have fun. ... show more

  • Identical to the Z6 in image quality Identical to the Z6 in image quality
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
I bought the Nikon Z5 for the soul reason for it to be my main body for weddings. I needed the dual cards. I already have the Nikon Z6 for the past 18 months and it's a phenomenal camera. But the Z5 is a cheaper version of it and the image quality is identical in my opinion. I cannot tell the difference in low light or high ISO up to 6500. In my eyes that's amazing for $1,400. If you plan on shooting wildlife or Sports you're going to be disappointed and if you just dabble with video this Z5 will work just fine. But if you're a professional videographer or want to get into using 4K get the Z6. The autofocus works great. Which is been very good since the last firmware update for the z6 and that is the same firmware in the Nikon Z5. In my opinion this is not a beginner camera it's going to take professional portraits and you will love it ... show more
