Hey Everyone !
Well the Z5 is here along with the 24-50mm, I was actually really surprised by the picture quality of the 24-50mm lens. I certainly can not wait to get some more detailed in depth comparisons done.
Thanks so much for watching !
any questions ?
Ricci Talks Weather sealing on the lens? Should there be any concern using it in rainy conditions? Also, any noise while shooting video? Thanks again.
Wow. I'm really impressed with the 24-50 lens image samples! Would love to see the comparison between the 24-50 vs the 24-70 F/4. Thanks for an awesome video Ricci!
Hi Ricci, can you try the EN-EL15c battery on the Z6/Z7 and test if it works while charging and shooting? Thanks!
Does it have inbody timelapse mode? Or it must be equipped with an external intervalometer?
@@GordonMoat Light rain would be ok but it doesn't have extensive weather sealing. not really seen any more noise than normal in video but will look in to this soon
Wasn't expecting to see this when I pulled up UA-cam today. But here we are!
Look forward to your test Z5 vs Z6 with same lens low light high iso and low iso. BSI sensor or not, can we tell a difference from image? Appreciated and cheers from Australia
I am really glad that Nikon have had the balls to release an actual PHOTOGRAPHY camera rather than a hybrid thing like everyone else is doing.
I am a firm believer that this type of cameras, with this body ergonomics, lenses and all are made for photographers. There are dedicated video cameras if you want to do video. I am an amateur photographer and really couldn't care less about video, so i am glad to be able to pay less for a device that's actually suited for my goals.
Sadly, it's still extremely expensive and apparently in EU it won't be sold as body-only. Still, the Z5 will probably eventually be the upgrade for my D7000... One day, when i could find it 2nd hand and afford it.
A little reduction in price (sale or rebate) and this camera will become the perfect entry level full frame camera. Very good sensor (probably the same as D750), brilliant ergonomics and build quality, dual UHS 2 card slots, brilliant EVF, very good weather sealing, IBIS. There is very little lacking in this camera for a beginner or even a medium to advanced user. Get some good glass with it and the results you can get is going to be awesome!!
by xmas / fall 2020 the price in shops / online should be £/$200 - 300 less than announcement / original RRP / price
Blown away by the night shots....incredibly clean and sharp
Ah??? Like any other camera shots with 60 sec exposure and ISO 100. Please!)
Great to see Nikon is focusing on the entry level segment of the market. This is a great second camera and a perfect alternative for the Canon eos rp. Access to the z glass at an entry level price will be really great for new mirrorless users.
For germany this is wrong: The Z6 is cheaper and offers more!
Esp. if you are ok with used gear in condition "like new" and "very good" you can get a Z6 with the 24-70 f4 for about 1750€ (1851 für the Z5 with 24-50).
I really don't unterstand the necessity of this camera. I think it's highly overpriced!
Thus: 24-50? That's more prime than zoom lens! 24-70 is way to less zoom range for me and 24-50 is even less 😫
@@danielschneider3105 I don't think you can compare used/sale prices with new release poice. The z6 released at $2000 in the USA, which is $600 more. in 1 year the Z5 will be available used and on sale for a lot less than $1400. If you want to compare the Z6, the D750 is a lot less, and a pretty good camera for around $850 used.
La Z5 ya es un clásico. No hablen más de cámara de entrada!!!!! La Z5, Z6 y Z7 conforman una trilogía!!!!!
100% agree that the Z5 is for the D600/D610/D750 users that want to get into Nikon's mirrorless line without breaking too much bank with the Z6 and Z7. It definitely looks like a camera for stills versus for videos too! On the plus side, you can still use 'G' lenses with the FTZ adapter too! Great video Ricci! Can't wait to see more comparisons with the Z5 and the 24-50!
Thanks for watching!
I'm a D750 user looking to go mirrorless, even have a D610 as my back-up.
I will NOT buy a Z5.
My D750 was AU$1800 new, a Z5 is AU$2600! The price is absurd. If my D750 or D610 broke tomorrow, I'd just get a used D750.
The z6 import is cheaper though
The Z6 was previously on sale for $1600, and the Z5 being $1400! The Z6 will go on sale once more. I'd pass on the 5.
Seems like a Z5 might be my ticket to full frame from the Z50!
Same but I have the 4/3 sensor
I’ve been shooting with a Panasonic GX7 for nearly 7 years, but with the future of m43 in question I’ve been eyeing other systems and I’m really impressed with the Nikon Z lenses. I feel like for my purposes the 50mm f/1.8 and the 24-200mm lenses would be the only lenses I would really need and the Z5 looks to be a great camera to pair them with.
Dude I had the gx7 followed by the g85 and now the Nikon d750. I love mft. Get in addition. There are amazing cameras with the mft. The gx7 is like the baby baby bro. Keep it and don't compare.
@@mafianoodles I have too many lenses for it that I love to get rid of it and I'll probably get another m43 body at some point when I find one for the right price.
@@gorf959 It's funny. I think panasonic is replacing mft with cheaper ff options. But I'm still planning on adding the oly 12 and 75 to my oly 17 and pana 25/42.5. There just isnt anything at the same quality/size ratio. If fuji made a stabilized x-pro body, maybe, but till then I find it weird to hear mft->ff movers. Good luck with the choice!
Ricci ;) Another fantastic video - I've been into Nikon for a long time (I also used to shoot Sony - in the recent past), and have a D850 and a Z6 - I have to say my Z6 has been getting the most use lately as it's a pleasure to shoot with. I'll be replacing my D850 with the Z7s when it comes out. I'm looking forward to you getting that Z5 production unit as you have the best lens comparisons on the net - they are done right. I have a lot of Z glass now - and the optics are so good that is the primary reason my D850 hasn't gotten as much use - the lenses are that good (as I'm sure you know). Take good care and all the best - Chris from Canada.
Thanks so much Chris ! It’s certainly an exciting time ahead ;)
Great review / preview, thanks! After reviewing the Z5's specs, I'm staying with my plan to pick up a Z6 this year for my first full frame body. The Z5's lower fps, lack of 120 video, and somewhat negligible price difference made this an easy decision. The Z5 looks great, but for my needs the Z6 is a better fit.
Hi Ricci, thanks for the video. I would love to see that comparison between the 24-50mm and the 24-70mm f4.
Amazing! It's not just a rumour! The Z5 is real!
I'm still far to happy with my Z6 to think about a new camera at the moment, but this looks like a great little camera.
I love how they kept the button layout the same. When I eventually replace my B camera, it will be nice to have the same interface as my main camera.
I think the button layout is one of the best things I was scared we might loose the AF toggle and af on button
Little???
I’m seriously digging this body. Along with a Z50 I’d have pretty much all of my bases covered. I’d have really loved it if their batteries were the same, but ah well, just the relief of not having to deal with XQD cards is enough to tempt me.
Ricci - I've done some extensive testing on my Nikon F to Z glass myself. Video idea for you while you're waiting on the Z5 release (if it suits your fancy) - test a 50mm Nikon F mount F1.4 to the new Z Mount F1.8 50mm. I actually have the Sigma Art F1.4 F mount lens and my Z Mount 1.8 is even better optically. I don't think people realize how good the Z glass really is - even though your tests also speak for themselves, and I have confirmed some of your results - so bravo, and I'm sure it's good to see confirmation from another photographer with a different version of the same lens. Anyway have a fantastic evening and that's for the Vid my friend! Chris.
Jumped from D750 to Z6 and the Xqd card was a high price to pay for both card and cardreader. If this Z5 camera was released earlier I would problaby take it, that said I just love the xqd card now when I have used it and with the card reader it's so damn fast to get files on to my computer. I think in the end I made the right choice to go with Nikon Z6.
I think Nikon nailed it with the Z5, and keeping the form factor is smart.
Any idea if the EN-EL15C will allow external powering via USB-C on the Z6/7?
I don’t think it will as there’s a menu option in the Z5 that’s not in the Z6. However as Iv not had chance to test I could be wrong
Ricci Talks Isn't there a new softwareupdate for the Z6 and Z7?
There is but it dosnt add anything new in relation to the battery it’s adds support for the new TC and firmware update lenses
Stunning I'm sold...look at the night photography...in- ce- di- ble..!!. Damn..Nikon pulled out ALL THE STOPS...!!!🎲🍎♥️♥️😉🌞☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Waiting for the comparisons of this sensor to the Z6 sensor for photography only.
To be honest, this is the camera body I've been waiting for. I'm a current d750 user. I want the pancake lenses to pair with this body, Nikon.🙏
I hope the low noise iso performance is better than that of the d750; because I shoot Weddings.
My educated bet is on the sensor being the exact same as the D750/D610/D600, Nikon's non-BSI 24MP, which is actually a good thing for low ISO dynamic range. Thus there will be no improvement in RAW files over your D750. The newer processor could well extract cleaner JPEGs though.
Bayonet so bad news for this guy he wants a better sensor than the d750 one
Agree, getting those pancake lenses that Nikon has on its lens roadmap sooner, as an option for this camera would be a big plus moving me to take the plunge to buy it.
Don't expect any better ISO performance with either 24MP sensor, they are both excellent (Z6's is about 1/2 stop better than the D750/Z5 sensor, so negligible). You will find more innovation with the improved/more versatile EVF, video and autofocus (with limits). Also: no more af problems with Sigma Art lenses, that was the most pleasing part for me. But I still grab my D750 for low light action photos (dancefloor at weddings) because my SB-910's AF assist beam is disabled with the Z6 (or any Z camera). For my style (candid), I need that.
@@caleidoo Damn... to get a used D750 or a Z5 for three times the price... when on a tight budget -- I know all would say get better lens, but the D750 doesn't work with Z glass. It's a bit hard to decide what to want, even harder to make decide on what to spend the money :)
finally entry level for fullframe mirrorless, but still need cheap lens for mirror less camera and more variant
My guess about that 24-50 f4-6.3:
There might be people who are interested in having a small lens (for traveling), BUT
would they be satisfied with 50 mm f6.3?
I guess, that lens is just a "hey look, we can do small lenses, too"-lens.
Z5 is really great. Plus the kit lens gives you everything you need if you are a stills oriented. It has a great sensor and I yet have to see a Z lens that is not sharp and good.
Another great combo is Z5 with 40mm f/2. Great for street, portaraits, landscapes...It is so sharp at f/4, and has a beautifull character wide open...
I got some beautifull photos from that combination.
Great little camera for the price
😊
Dear Ricci, once again another review that is not only comprehensive, but thoroughly worth watching. You nearly stole me from the Z6 which I dearly want for video; considering how many UA-cam subscriptions I have that shoot their Vlogs on the Z6 (that's gotta account for something-yeah?) your field photos of the wildlife are super and the fact that you include all the settings on screen is just superb. Thankfully yours Pete
Can't wait for comparison between new Z5 and Z6,,and this new lens VS others
Excellent review! I think this camera will have a huge success on the market. As a z6 user I'm seriously interested in that compact lens.
Great video as always. One question: Does the Z5 have any contacts on the bottom in case of any future battery grip?
It does not
@@RicciTalks Thank you!
As always, a comprehensive and informative review. Thanks! Now to get a personal hands-on experience...
I’m more curious how the 24-50 compares to the 16-50 dx kit lens in the Z50
You probably have the DX 16-50, and know it is incredibly sharp. Pretty sure the new FX 24-50 is gonna be sharp too.
If the DX (Z50) lens is put on the FX camera (Z5), then it’s going to cut down or crop the image size.
I am a hobbyist photographer. I currently own the Nikon D7200 and the Z50 with kit lens. I been happy with APSC cameras so far. Actually I like to see a D500 replacement with IBIS and two card slots. Not sure I need to move to FF body.
Ricci You're the man when it comes to Nikon, really appreciate you sharing this with usI I can honestly say that after thirty years with Nikon I've not once thought about changing, Nikon always deliver the goods, ok it may mean waiting sometimes but we should be realistic and realise we can't always have everything at once! The future's bright, the future is Nikon! Cheers. PS I've been using XQD cards since I got one free with my D4s in 2014, I've not had a single problem with XQD ever but to be honest two card slots does give peace of mind !
The future is definitely bright I can not wait 😁
Plus, the XQD cards are expensive. Reliable, though.
Very impressed by the image quality of the lens when stopped down to f18!
Me encanta tu forma de hacer la reseña. Creo que es la que más tranquilo me ha dejado, por su tipo de pruebas.
The main reason to be Interesse are the sd cards ... The new card format would cost me hundreds of euros to have enough to take on a trip and that’s where i mostly shoot
I like the mode dial location, looks like it would allow for quick, one handed operation, without an annoying locking button like on the 6 and 7.
I wish camera makers would allow the locking button to be disabled, it just needlessly slows down operation for people that handle their cameras intentionally, and carefully.
I can't believe it's 2020 and Nikon still don't have a flip side screen.
I was waiting for this camera but unfortunately the screen is a big deal for me.
It's useless for 99% of consumers, and it's a potential point of breakage.
@@TaipeiGeek I'm sure there's more content creators then that which rely on a flip screen
The size of the 24-50 finally makes the full frame cameras an alternative to the Z50 when it comes to portability. I'd love a comparison.
time to sell my DSLR . . . . . this is what I have been waiting for.
Quality content here. New sub!
that shot at 9:56 you can see stars, and speaking of stars I like the points of light starburst on this one as well. Bit of a slow lens but seems compact as hell, PLEASE test this lens on a Z7 as well
Already used it on my z7 and it looks really good but I do want to wait for a production unit to see how good it is
Interesting lens. It looks like they decided on compactness vs speed. Even a 24-50 f4 would have been acceptable if size remained small.
Certainly all about size but it still seems really good quality its just not "Fast"
Most kitlenses are F3.5-5.6, so F4-6.3 is really not much different, maybe half a stop. I don't understand people getting all mad at Nikon for this slow lens. It's made to be compact, you now have an extra option in de Nikon line-up. People are treating Nikon like they promised a a 24-300mm F1.2 and delivered a 24-50 F4-6.3. Ah the internet.
Virtually any camera on the market these days can take the same photos as you did, including those with 1" sensors. I just don't get what's so exciting about this camera. Don't get me wrong, because I use a D750 myself, I just can't see why I should waste my hard earned money on yet another camera when my D750 still takes stunning images, even in those low light shots that you showed.
Great review. This will be my upgrade from a D7200. I'd really like to pair it with the 24-70, but your review on the 24-200 has me thinking. What do you think???
I think it’s a case of how often do you shoot above 70mm .... if it’s a lot then the 24-200mm is the way to go. If it’s not a lot at all then I would look at the 24-70
I wouldn't call the Z5 an "upgrade" to a proven D7200. You can get nearly identical results from either camera. However, the Z lenses are superb, and I personally like the EVF more than a viewfinder. When you do decide to expand your Z lens collection, the lenses are twice as expensive as f-mount, and there aren't many mid-range alternatives to the AF-P lenses. Since some time has passed since your post, how did you make out?
Thank you Ricci. As always a very calm and informative walkthrough. I've recently got into the Z system (and in fact to Nikon cameras) with the Z7. I tried the Z6 first and found that I really wanted a higher res sensor without the AA filter so decided the Z7 was the best route for me. However, there are two things which the Z7 miss - SD card slots and USB power operation. A bit frustrating that it's the "entry level" model that gets these better features! Quick question for you though - does the Z5 have an AA filter? Oh, and does it do Focus Shift?
It does do Focus Shift. From the NikonUSA Z5 page: "Focus Shift Shooting Mode automatically takes a series of images (up to 300) while advancing the focus position in each shot. These images can then be stacked* into a single image with surreal depth of field-great for shooting jewelry, products, landscapes and still subjects. *Requires third-party image-stacking software sold separately."
Woah... I was not sure if it was real or not. But youre the first person to ever come out that it is real. Really curious about this body.
its certainly real ! :)
This is the first time I'm pretty stoked for a new camera, because it means further reduction of price in the D750 and I could probably get the Z5 for said DSLR's current price, or I hope
great video tnx
Excelent review! I'm a Nikon shooter (7200/750) and I'm thinking of buying some Z model. 👏
I also have same cameras, sold my 7200 with some DX lenses, and holding my 750 for now, and looking to buy my first FF mirrorless, the Z5 looks fine and capable, but 4.5 FPS, Non-BSI sensor in 2020 and this low quality kit lens and everyone call it entry-level camera, All this doesn't really encourage me! 750/7200 were very capable mid-range pro level cameras. I think I will wait for something better from Nikon, maybe Z5II or Z6 price drop or get Sony A7M3 after Sony A7M4 will be released in few months hopefully.
I agree. The Z50 is a great gear to replace de 7200. I saw several reviews.
Regarding FF I think Z6 and A7 III are good options.
The problem here is that Z lenses are very expensive and when using the adapter we lose some stabilization in the sensor and the gear gets larger. 😏
@@LucasPoldi yes true.. I think lightweighed mirrorless gear is a myth! Good glass will always be heavy, especially wide aperture zooms and primes. Sony is ahead and leading the race at the moment so I think I'll get one of their FF with one native and one third party lens, and when Nikon reach maturity I will also get maybe a Z7 with a native lens and one good third party lens when they start producing for Nikon
@@Ali.lensman Sure! I think I Will do the same. A7 III is a great option!
Best Nikon reviewer! Excellent review! I think when the z mount 24-105 f/4 will come out and provided that the z mount glass is of great quality, it will be the perfect combo with the Z5 for landscape work! I'll be waiting for the high ISO tests against the Z6 though. Things are getting very interesting for Nikon shooters!
Love the City shots at night. How did you keep people off the wobbly bridge though?
The Z5 is a bargain. Thanks for the review!
The lens would be welcome if it can take care of the moderate wide angle zone . I mean by that great IQ corner to corner at 28 and 35mm at its best aperture that can be F8 or even F11 .
Wish this had been announced in Nikon rumors a month ago when i decided to buy a Z6. The Z5 pretty well hits all my boxes and I loved the Z50 DX16-50 lens. Would love to see a comparison between the pancake lenses since Z6 owners have been picking up the DX lens for travel and now we have this option instead.
Helpful video, thanks! I wonder how the autofocus compares to a D750, in terms of speed, tracking, and low light.
Usually I watch your videos immediately when they come out but since watching Grays of Westminster Live Streams and you with your expertise on one of the episodes I bought the Z5 April 2021. Updated the firmware to 1.10. Fantastic camera but I shot a video at 24p@4k and I do not think that was cropped. Question is why 30p instead of 24p for videos?
The Z5 is oh so close to being the mirrorless D750 but again, no battery grip and just 4.5fps. Looks like I'll have to look to the Z6mkII to fulfill those missing aspects. Otherwise I'm liking the Z5, two card slots makes it viable to professional use and IBIS is a great addition.
I already have the 24-70 f4 but after seeing how small it is and the relatively low cost I may have to get the 24-50.
Nice Review! I can see the real Z5 at this video first time!
I think it is a good start Nikon's Z serie cameras. I'd buy it then invest on Nikon's S serie lenses until improved new Z serie camera (dual slot 7s or 8?) is available.
I'll be watching fo that 24-50 v 24-70f4 comparison video!
It is worth noting the LOW/dated EV performance rating on the Z5. I noticed the -1 EV difference using my Z50 and z5 side-by-side in a room with soma natural light (EV5.) A few other users noticed this too, but only those who had two Z bodies. I think most of the reviews (not this one) were focused on tracking and eye AF. I certainly liked the images out fo the Z5 more than the Z50 overall. I like that the ergonomics matches the Z50 a little better, but having the OPTION to have play/delete on the right would be ideal IMO. I ended up going with the Z6II (for the shutter response, sound, and feel alone,) and couldn't be happier.
Z5 -2.0 EV with low-light -3.0 EV
(D7200/D750)
Z50 -2.0 EV with low-light -4.0 EV
Z7 -2.0 EV with low-light -4.0 EV (Z7II/D500/D5/D850)
Z7II -3.0 EV with low-light -4.0 EV
Z6/Z6II -3.5 EV with low-light -6.0 EV
D6 -4.5 EV
Thank you! I would still be interested in the 24-50 vs 24-70 comparision! :)
great one ❤
Thank you, one basic question, can I use Nikon DSLR flash on Nikon z5
Nice preview and illustrative shots. Considering paid photography is a marginal business for most photographers, this would be an excellent step into the Z system for wedding photographers. F glass still works with the F2Z adapter, and gets IBIS added. Two card UHS-II SD slots and a buffer never locking the camera up thanks to the max fps stills limit. Weather-sealing, even.
The nighttime shots looked like the front-lit sensor does really well in low light, btw.
Shooting a Z 7, I don't think the "keep battery charged" option is vitally important - in stills. (Q) But I still wonder if a firmware update could enable that on my Z 7 too.
If the low light performance is on par with, or better than, D610, that were to make this Z 5 very attractive.
(Q) As to the dual card slots, I feel a discussion of what it offers is needed in relation with how it is implemented and what it protects against. (Does it have a shared I/O controller chip for both slots? Or a separate one for each? And, to me, the price difference between UHS-II and CFexpress does not justify a discussion. CFexpress all the way. I just bought a Thunderbolt 3 (TB3) card reader with two CFexpress slots (Sonnet) that can daisy chain another TB3 device. I just built a new workstation and rebuilt a catalogue in Lightroom of a couple thousand 46MP raw shots. Speed has become so fast that card-reader speed matters and enables to wait for a task to finish, instead of taking so long that we have to think what else to do in the meantime.)
It is fine? Nikon should include the adapter as a package to use with F mount lenses.
It is also the only way for a pro to use a Z until they update the rest of the range with a second card slot. Yes indeed I know a few pro's who use the Z6/7 but they are careless. I've had card failure before and I was quite happy to have a jpeg backup of my shots instead of spending a very bad time explaining my client why he didn't have the pictures.
This lens is also a great choice for vloggers!
How would you compare the 4K video from the Z5 vs Z6?
Z6 no 1.7 crop and slightly better iso
I wish they offered it bundled with a cheap 16-55 DX lens for those folks who want to get rid of the crop-factor in video
Nice review. Z5 looks like mirrorless version of D750 with good af in video mode. The thing I don't like is Sd card because got spoiled with xqd and if buy Z5 have to carry different types of memory cards( many people would find SD cards better solution though) . One question. If we put new battery in Z6, will it also be able to charge while using like Z5?
I agree I'm not keen on using Sd cards at all ! but it makes sense for this range of camera.
@@RicciTalks There are a lot of pros and cons for the whole XQD vs. SD discussion. I think there is a reason why many brands mix XQD/CFE with a SD-slots and only the flagships get dual-XQD-slots.
Great video. Liked and subscribed. I will be getting a Z5 today comes with the same 50mm kit lens. I do have my own older nikon 50mm f1.8 lens and a few other older nikon lenses from my old D series nikon I'd like to utilize in my kit until newer z lenses become available to me. Just wondering where and what mount I should get to make that happen. Cheers
How and where do you turn on low light autofocus in the Z6? Thanks in advance.
Zooms are not really my thing and my prime lineup really doesn’t need me wanting anything else-but if it can be found cheap enough I might fuck with this. Could be a fun exercise, force myself to shoot only at f/8 or something.
Z5 is a weird camera from a market segmentation standpoint-but this lens weirdly makes a lot of sense.
Hi Ricci, great video as always. I own the Z6 and the Z7. But there is something that I do not absolutely understand with the new cameras released by Nikon recently. Why does Nikon not implement this fully articulating screen which everyone wants, at least for Nikon’s high end cameras or at the very least for its video camera, the Nikon Z6? We are in the 21st century and with the strong development of vlogging and social media, Nikon should have already implemented this fully articulating screen with the Z6 and Z7 in 2018. In my opinion, Nikon really makes a very big mistake. In the past, I asked this question to a Nikon representative, actually it was in 2018 after the release of the Nikon Z7. The Nikon representative answered me the following: Nikon does not want deal with the broken fully articulating screens and besides the fully articulating screens should be only for the entry level cameras such as the Nikon 5600. But then, why did Canon implement this fully articulating screens for the R5 and the R6? Are these cameras not high end cameras? Is Nikon afraid of dealing with broken fully articulating screens, whereas Canon is not? On this point, Nikon should urgently innovate and give us this fully articulating screen. To solve this issue, I had to buy the UURig Vlog Selfie Flip Screen for Mirrorless Camera. The product is good. However, I would much prefer to have this fully articulating screen in my Z cameras, especially for changing my settings directly on the touchscreen facing towards me.
Thank you for the intro to this camera... Interesting. (Love those dragonfly shots with the 500mm!) Take care!
Thanks a lot ! They took some effort :)
@@RicciTalks I know they do! In my area, I can never find a spot where these insects hold still long enough for me to get to them. Great results with the 500. (I'll try with the 200-500 f/5.6.)
I still prefer the 24.5mp Backside Illuminated Sensor of the Z6 vs a 24.2 CMOS sensor. Better low light performance and dynamic range in both video and stills.
So many 24 - ** lineups, would love if it would be a 20-50..
35-70 would be good. I used to have this old Minolta 35-70 macro for film cameras where at the long end it could do macro when you set it in macro mode. It was a super handy travel lens.
@@tallaganda83 this range can be covered by any kit available in the market, but 20mm would be useful for landscape enthusiast.. IMO
I agree I would love a 20-50 or even a 20-40! but the 14-30 it self is so small its my most used lens.
@@RicciTalks yeah, 14-30 is great little lens.. but Nikon has 24-** ish line-up Z lenses, so I would love if they produce 18-50 or even 20-50, thought Z lenses are awesome, one might consider 24-70 F4 or 24-200 for bundle offer
@@tallaganda83 Film was different, you got the slide and that's it, In digital you can always crop if needed so wide angle is better than tele.
Thank you and really enjoy the vids. If I'm only interested in stills, would recommend a z5 or Z6, z7? Thank you for your insight!
Perfect one for me I'm not into videos that much so Z5 is Z6 minus video plus extra card slot ♥️
Hey Ricci,
Any more content concerning the Z5 coming? I.e. the comparison to the Z6?
Love your Videos!
Thanks Ricci for your video, quick question in video mode (1.7x crop FF) is there a DX crop option available ? - and what crop is there on top of the DX mode (e.g., 1.1x, etc).
Was going to get the z5 24 -200 kit instead of the 24-50, but after seeing these pictures u produced on the 24-50 is amazing. Would u say the 24-200 is better in terms of image quality?
Just bought the Z5 with that tiny kit lens. Loving it! But how did you get an F8 on that kit lens?
I wish theyd made it a little smaller but I'm not surprised. I'm more surprised with the huge price .
Pre-order prices are rather expensive. The Z6 pre-order prices are ~$500 more than current pricing. So I'd say either get a used Z6 or hold back a bit at the moment. Expect body only prices to drop to around $1000, that would be killer.
But whyyyyyyyyy why didn't they put the display foldable on the side :'(
I simply love @ricci talks, the fact that he he time to respond to almost every comment,great guy great account to follow always and anytime
Thanks a lot 😊
@@RicciTalks pleasure.. in the mean time, what will be your recommendation for a new camera body for events/documentary photoJ (general purpose) if I already shoot with the D810 and need a body with a good ISO, and manageable file sizes?
Ricci, really love the z5, but that kit lens holds zero interest for me. Can you talk Nikon into offering the s24-70 f/4 lens as a kit option with it for $600 additional like they do for the z6 and z7 kit offerings? Like i suspect many others, i don’t /won’t part with $1,000 for it as a stand alone purchase. Thanks, Craig
Really great review - you talk nice and clearly, no hype or BS - just facts and opinions based on experience. Well done!
It doesn’t have sensor with BSI , which will be a reason for poor quality photography specially in low light... not suitable for wedding photography....
Can you compare with Fujifilms XT 3 or XT 4 ?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for this and I will now look into upgrading from my 7100 to the Z5 as I don't need video. Just not sure whether to go for the kit with the smaller lens and FTZ adapter or splash out and get the 24-200mm and the ftz adapter?
very nice images Ricci!
Thanks a lot !
HI, I need help :)
I currently have a Nikon D7500 with a couple of basic DX lenses and considering moving to mirrorless before i invest in any lenses.
I used to shoot a 5d Mk2 for weddings and fashion, i had a bike accident a few years back and fractured my spine (all good now) but i was off work for some time and had to sell all of my gear to cover my time off from my day job. I'm just getting back into it as a hobby with my D7500 which i bought around 18 months ago. So my choices at the mo are the Z5 or A7ii, then slowly invest in glass and upgrade the body down the line. Sorry about the back story, just trying to explain the point i'm at lol.
Mainly shoot portraits, street day and night and general walk around. My budget is tight so what would you suggest out of the A7 ii and z5?
Thank you
Hi Rocci, are both timelapse modes (intervalometer and inbody 4k) there? Same features in them as in Z6? What about 4k timelapse mode, is that full frame + dx or only 1.7x ? Thanks
Hello. What do you think, is it a good camera for street photography ?
I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 Mirrorless Micro 4/3
Would I see much of a difference in picture quality?
How does the new 24-50mm kit lens compare with comparable lenses and primes (both F & Z-mount)? Thanks!
Hello! I’m looking to make the jump into a full frame camera and I was considering buying the D750 but now Im thinking of buying the Z5 instead. However, my heart was set on buying the sigma 1.4 35mm art lens with the D750, but now with the Z5 I see that Nikkor Z 1.8 35mm is also an option. I know that with the sigma lens I would have to purchase the adapter and it’s much heavier but it is cheaper since the Z series cameras are now being sold with the adapter as a bundle for $50. Which one would you recommend? Is there a huge difference between both lenses?
which is best EOs RP with stm lens or z5 24-50mm
