The Nikon Z5 is a great buy for those brand new to full-frame photography, and it has an appealing range of specifications that should suit lots of different type of photographers.

Great handling; Small and tight – especially with kit lens; Excellent viewfinder

Slow frame rate; Cropped 4K video

The Nikon Z5 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck stills-oriented camera on the market. Image quality from its 24MP sensor is just tad behind class-leading and much of its design, from the build-quality to the ergonomics, is borrowed from higher-end Nikon Z models.

Just about anyone seeking a well-priced; stills-oriented full-frame mirrorless camera.

Video shooters; Those wishing to capture super-fast action (in which Z5's 4.5 fps burst may not be quick enough).

The New Nikon Z5 is a very attractive option for photographers on a budget who are looking for a full-frame camera. And in combination with one of Nikon's compact and affordable lenses like the 24-50mm f/4-6.3, it makes for a very compact package that delivers big-camera results.

Despite its struggles with dim, warm light, the occasional focusing discrepancy and the 4K videos ordeal, the Nikon Z5 is wholeheartedly recommendable. It is a good camera, and at an introductory price of Rs 1,13,995 for just the body, the Z5 makes sense as a second unit for casual photography, for...

The Nikon Z 5 offers a lot for photographers moving from a Nikon SLR system to mirrorless, even though it omits some of the latest bells and whistles to meet its price point.

24MP full-frame sensor; 5-axis IBIS; Tilting touch LCD; High-magnification OLED EVF; Dust and splash protection; Dual UHS-II card slots; Works with Nikon F lenses via adapter

Cropped 4K recording; Autofocus a step behind Canon and Sony; Meager 4.5fps continuous drive; Z lens library still in development; Few third-party Z lenses available

Nikon has once again done what they still do better than everyone else: they made a great camera at an incredible price, and hardly left anything out.

Incredible image quality; Solid autofocus performance; Rugged build quality; Professional functionality; Comfortable ergonomics; Unmatched value

Slow speed & viewfinder blackout a deal-breaker for fast action; 4K 30p video crops away the "full-frame advantage"

For and against; Upholds the excellent handing from the Nikon Z6/Z7; Performs well with Fmount SLR lenses via FTZ adapter; Build quality is excellent for a camera at its price point; First full frame Zseries model to offer dual card slots

1.7x crop is applied when shooting 4K (UHD) video; 2450mm kit zoom is likely to be quickly outgrown; Produces cool looking images in AWB mode in sunlight; 4.5fps continuous burst shooting is slow by today’s standard

Excellent full frame camera with most of the functionality of the Z6 at a more affordable price.

An entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera that’s just as well suited to many professionals as experienced amateurs, the Nikon Z5 is easy to use while still offering all the manual features and customized settings you’d expect from a camera in this price bracket.

Comfortable Grip, Large LCD screen, Double SD card slots, Easy-to-change settings via on-body buttons, Weather sealed

Tilt screen, but no flip screen, No built-in flash, Cropped 4K video, Only 4.5 frames per second in burst shooting mode

The Nikon Z 5 is a compact and lightweight camera equipped with a 24.3-million-pixel full-frame sensor mounted on a mechanical stabilisation system. It’s very pleasant to use thanks to a large grip, a joystick to change options quickly, a touchscreen and a sharp 3.6-million-dot electronic...
