Budget Full Frame Mirrorless: A Review of the Nikon Z 5 Camera

Many newer mirrorless cameras are on the more expensive side, but we have also seen a few budget models that offer affordable entry points into the world of full frame mirrorless. This excellent video review takes a look at one such option, the Nikon Z 5.

Coming to you from gabpolitely, this great video review takes a look at the Nikon Z 5. The Z 5 is quite affordable for a full frame mirrorless camera at $1,396, but it still comes with a variety of useful features that make it a great backup body or budget main camera, including:

  • 24.3-megapixel sensor
  • Native ISO range of 100-51,200
  • 3.6-million-dot OLED EVF
  • 3.2-inch 1.04-million-dot tilting rear touchscreen
  • 4K 30p video
  • 273 AF points
  • Continuous burst rate of 4.5 fps
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction providing up to five stops of compensation
  • Magnesium alloy body that features weather-sealing and dust-sealing
  • Dual UHS-II SD card slots

No doubt, the Z 5 looks like an awesome entry point into the Nikon mirrorless system or a reliable second body at a very affordable price, particularly for a full frame camera and when paired with Nikon’s relatively affordable f/1.8 lenses.
