- When the Nikon Z5 was released I was quite sure I would not be purchasing it, a year later and here I am with the Nikon Z5! In this video I explain why I did decide to purchase this camera with the 24-50 kit lens.

I realise you made this video 2 years ago, but I just wanted to agree with you when you said you were a bit disappointed that Nikon were referring to this camera as 'Entry Level'. I've recently purchased the Z5 and I feel that there is nothing 'Entry Level' about it! I absolutely love mine. Everything about it, to me, just screams quality.
It's a $1,300 full frame camera with a combination of features you typically only find on cameras costing twice as much. a great 3.69 milldot EVF, IBIS, a 1/8000s mechanical shutter, dual card slots, a large battery and weather sealing. It's the same price as the brand new R8 which lacks all of those features and why I chose the Z5 a couple days ago instead, and I am a huge Canon user. Especially at its $997 price. Canon and Sony should be ashamed they can't put out anything this good for the price. Nikon deserves a ton of credit.
The Z5 was my first step into a full committed step into mirrorless photography, im floored by the feel and quality and with out hesitation i bought a Z50 and ive never been so satisfied in my set up
I agree, everything about the Z line up is top notch. The Z5 does have that 1.7 crop in 4k but it actually works for me quite well so I dont find it annoying, I would if I needed a wider field of view when filming in 4k, I have also got the Zfc which I also rally enjoy using.
I´ve owned both cameras since 2-3 years (first Z50 then Z5) and I´m absolutly satisfied with both for my kind of photography (model, boudoir, sometimes landscape). Good choice!
After watching your video, i decided to go out and buy one just a few hours ago. Thank you for your post.
As a long term Nikon user I totally agree with your thoughts the ergonomics of Nikons is great. Been considering moving to the Z series of camera's so I'll be following your Z5 videos with interest.
The Z 5 is really nice and available at really good prices at the moment.
I've also been using it for zoom and been getting lots of compliments people are impressed with the quality
The Z5 is a great little camera . I use it with the 40 F2 as my daily driver . It’s also the backup to my Z6 II for work .
I recently purchased the 40mm F2 and like you its pretty much bolted to my Z5. I will be uploading my review of this lens very soon.
Nice Video, thx!
I love the Nikon Z line for image quality, handling and overall joy of use. AF of my Z6 is still ok for me, especially after the latest firmware update.
Z5 is nice, too 👍
I am really enjoying the Z5, the AF works very well for me and the handling is simply amazing,
great review, thank you
That was a great discussion on why you bought the z5 over the z6 and z7. Nikon probably should have called it a z10, instead of a z5, lol... Thanks for the review. I think I'll buy it, thanks!
This is the main camera I consider upgrading to next year, the price of the lenses is kinda expensive 😵
Great value for the money 😊
The Nikon Z5 was the first full frame camera I bought and I still love it. No BSI but slap that 28mm f/2.8 prime lens with that 1.7 crop gives me the best looking picture of myself when describing products or ranting from a young 65 year old who loves to make videos for UA-cam.
The Z5 looks great, but I'm hoping with the rumored release of the Z6 III right around the corner, there'll be a price drop on the Z6 II to at least close to the Z5 body price. The Z6 II has some better bang for not too much more buck, in terms of BSI sensor, higher burst rate (more than double, even with mechanical shutter), top LCD, and the ability to send 10-bit 4:2:2 video to an external monitor-recorder (and *12-bit ProRes Raw* with a paid upgrade!).
this is the only video that said nikon z5 has no touch and drag to move the focusing point.
a full frame version of em5 mk II
La Z5 ya es un clásico!!!!! Fantástica con el Z 50mm 1.8!!!!!
Nikon is amazing ; maybe they aren’t up to par with the af compaired to other brands aside from the z9 but once they unleash z9 performance in the small bodies is the end of the competition . Nikon glass is amazing and best ergo imo .
Nuff said.
Liked Your Video on the Z5 . Could You please tell me about the camera strap You have on it . Thanks .
I don't know anything new about the camera, please answer my question I want to use this link Sigma 105mm f1.4 Can I use this lens with Nikon z5 without adapter now?
Z5 vs Rp which one is better in your opinion?
Is the z6 worth buying over the z6ii since the z6 is 400 less looking for low light photography options
I have no experience with the Z6ii so I cannot say.
I was initially put off the Z5 from a channel I follow Bill & Eric. He sent his Z5 back because he found the AF was bad. But I have now heard its had a AF update and is much better.
Question - how do you find the 1080p
I have seen his video and I understand why he returned his. I have not done anything at night yet but I have used it very successfully in very poor weather with very poor light and had no problems, I have updated the firmware so maybe this has helped.
That video also put me off 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@AvpStudios I recently got this camera and tried to push it by taking a picture in my kitchen at night with the only light coming from the lights in the street outside coming in trough the window. It handled it beautifully with the 50mm f/1.8 lens I got with it.
B&E son Tonto&Retonto!!!!!
I have considered the z series but the only thing putting me off is the exposed sensor.
Exposed sensor?
I use snapbridge to record myself myself you can use your phone as an extra screen
I have not tried that I will experiment with this, thanks for the tip.
It is an amazing camera, but does not have a BSI sensor!!
Which lens i should need to purchase with z5 ?
The Z 50mm 1.8 is an amazing lens, and relatively affordable. For flexibility, if you can get the Z5 with the 24-70mm f4; that lens is very good, too - but the 50mm 1.8 is on another level!
neat
How is the autofocus on z5 compared to z6?
I have only had the Z5 for a few weeks but my initial tests suggest it is better, its certainly not worse! The face and eye detect is very good, it compares very favourably against my Sony a7C and a6600 although the sonys do pick up the face from a further distance.
I’ve owned both , currently own 2 z6’s and I’m buying another z5 next week for my gf. Imo the af on the z5 might be better but overall performance is better on the z6. Also when shooting in super low light the back screen on the z5 becomes unusable . The images will look good but you won’t be able to see anything ; so shooting Astro is just out of the questions . I know I have used it side by side with the z6 .
Did you notice any AF issues?
Not at all, I find the face and eye AF very responsive and accurate, animal eye AF can be iffy at times but overall I think it works very well.
@@AvpStudios Glad to hear that. I asked because of this one I found some time ago: ua-cam.com/video/1Eqnmy1qgfg/v-deo.html
@@AvpStudios he is asking general autofocusing performence not eye autofocusing
Meaningless review, 👎👎🤣🤣😱😱😡😡🐷🐷
Very bad lowlight autofocusing performence.
Totally useless camera ever made by nikon.
I have not had mine long enough to agree or disagree but I have used it in very poor weather conditions and under dark trees with no problems at all, I have not used it at night though. I have updated the firmware, maybe this has helped.
@@AvpStudios it has very poor low grade image sensor.
It's not fast for professional works.
Firmware update improve nothing
@@c.bwijesinghe2259 The camera wasn't made for 'professional works'. Its an entry level unit for those prosumers and recreational shooters entering into the FF scene. You come off as smug walking into burger joint saying the burgers aren't as good as the one you tried at the steakhouse.
@@aringrags yes entry level toy camera for daily normal familly shoots..
But performence is much below than other entry level cameras.that is the issue.
These days cheapest chinese mobile phones have much better autofocusing performence even in low light.
Z5 price is more than big for a entrylevel camera.
Not worth than 800US$.
Are you using continuous all area focusing in low light ? Because even the canon r6 struggles in this situation .
