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

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"

Despite its positioning as an affordable, entry-level full-frame camera, the Nikon Z 5 ($1,399.95, body only) is nearly as capable as the midrange Z 6. For a few hundred dollars less you get very similar image quality, though you'll have to live with cropped 4K video recording. Photographers with an investment in Nikon gear should take a look at this one, especially if video is a secondary concern. Still, you can't discount the value proposition here, especially if you're already invested in the Nikon system. If you're not, the Sony a7 III is our absolute favorite mirrorless camera and Editors' Choice, but it carries a higher asking price, around $2,000 without a lens.Affordable Full-Frame The Z 5 isn't the first sub-$2,000 full-frame camera we've seen, but it cuts fewer corners than alternatives like the Canon EOS RP and Sigma fp.
