with the Z6 you'd have to spend a lot extra on an XQD memory card. Seems like a great solid and relatively decent priced photo camera. I'll take your opinion to the bank. I agree that I would not use the Techart on a paid job requiring AF. The Nikon Z5 is the best entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera you can buy right now. With its weather sealing, metal chassis and high quality construction, the Z5 is much more robustly made than its entry-level status implies. 24-50 is hard to find on it's own right now i think, so you should be able to get a decent price for it.

The best cameras for under $1000 should have good ergonomics and controls, great image quality and be capture high-quality video.

Z5's 4.5 FPS is 2 FPS slower than my D7000 (10 year old camera) and too slow (for me), but I'd stump up for 8 FPS.

I had the 300D, 400D, 550D, 1000D into my hands from friends, and always thought heck - seriously, it doesn't suit me, i can't work with this, vs. a 2-digit D Series back into it's heyday. Thanks to the enormous customs fees, it cost the same amount of money when we ship from the US to Europe than to buy directly in Europe... @zephyrion974won't it sell with 24-200mm and body-only?it will drop in price in time, if Z6 II will get shipped around christmas - we could see a significant drop in price for it (if we're lucky) :). It’s just as good as the Z6, or better. …then you’ll probably love the Nikon Z5, too. Not sure about the Z5, I think it’s 200.000. What lenses do you have on the RP? Under normal logic Nikon would sell these by the droves. Not the A7II. They’d rather activate and de-activate focus tracking the same way as on DSLRs: by half-pressing and then taking their finger back off either the shutter release or the AF-ON button, and having the AF point reset back to wherever it was before you started. The Z5 is far superior to the A7R II in everything but resolution, but if your needs are mostly for subjects that don't move, it's pretty compelling. That's funny. Aside from those two drawbacks, working with the Z5 is pretty fun; it feels exactly like a Z6 but with the mode dial re-arranged, and dual card slots of course. There is nothing repeat nothing the Z5 can do that the A7RII cannot.

The rear camera (or cameras) on an iPhone has all the latest bells and whistles, but how do you use them to capture a selfie or record a video of yourself? Nothing the Z5 doesn't do better except all the cases when you need autofocus... :-). @refusenik, ok I've found $90 23GB XQD on amazon vs ~$20 for SD UHS. Canon R5 vs Nikon Z5. (It’s missing the front command dial, the C1, C2, and C3 buttons, a focus point control joystick, and a deep, comfortable grip.) BTW, did they ever resolve that overheating problem?

I was pretty disappointed with the camera. Also, this crop for video means that the over-sampled 4K video from the Z6 will appear much sharper and finely detailed, unfortunately. Nikon Z6 Review – Does Sony Have Serious Competition? Second, the Z5’s video is cropped to approximately the DX portion of the sensor, which is fine for most normal and telephoto focal lengths, but it can be a deal-breaker at wider focal lengths. That seems like a pretty ridiculous blanket statement. @ionbar, yes I want FF 4K uncropped for $1400 because it’s possible. i thought Canon is the darkside? With that said, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty test results: The Nikon Z5’s autofocus is good enough to consistently nail focus the majority of the time, (say, anywhere from 7/10 to 9/10 of photos) at low light levels of an exposure value of 1/80 sec, f/1.8, and ISO 6400.  This means it is more than able to shoot in most low light levels where you might be hand-holding and using autofocus, as opposed to putting the camera on a tripod and focusing manually. Both the Canon R5 and the Z5 are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are equipped with a full frame sensor. So, it won my money. I never said it was "great". This is how the Sony Real-Time Tracking system works, by the way, and Nikon’s Focus Tracking works almost as good in decent light, though it gets a bit less reliable in “terrible” light. I ran mine in video mode spitting out HDMI output for five hours straight yesterday and nothing went wrong. I took some of my best photos with entry-level cameras :). I think you nailed the Conclusion/Summary perfectly. Then talk. 3. Wow, shocking, just shocking!

Reasons to prefer the Nikon Z5: More detail: Has more megapixels (24.2 vs 20.7MP), which boosts linear resolution by 8%. Senior Editor Barney Britton's Gear of the Year part two details how he ended up with a Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm F11, and despite its quirks, why it was ideal for a creative project in the COVID-era. You can’t even go in a store and buy one. I loved the ergonomics of the X-H1 before I moved over to Nikon but Fuji X-Trans 26 MP sensor only holds up for BW photography.

It sounds similar to … With a 1.8x squeeze, the lens produces a more pronounced anamorphic effect than the 1.33x lenses offered by Sirui, albeit at a much higher cost. I agree with mkowalski.

But arguably better quality glass. The AF of the a7rII is a well known thing, claiming it’s great only paints you as a person lacking objectivity.

I had Panasonic FZ2000 as well as Mamiya RZ67. .....Reading the review of the Z5 in the French 'RéponsePhoto' magazine doesn't quite give the same results and for various reasons.Apparently in France, the Z5 is only sold in kit form with the disappointing 24-50mm f4-6.3. *shrug* Enjoy your Nikon. Z6 is in a higher category. There you go. Impressively, the Z5 holds its own impressively well when shooting in very low-light. Speaking of the Techart TZE-01, I have one of those too. Which youtubers? Update, i forgot, the intial 300D got a 2nd Display, not on top, but backside, but it was very plasticky. Sadly the reverse is not true. First of all, ignore anyone who brings up the RP as "competition". Lots of brand lover type comments from people that don’t now what they’re talking about (because they haven’t ‘tested the waters’ and used other cameras to compare). Most can't tell the difference between 42MP and 24 MP, esp those interested in a lower priced more entry level FF. As a nightscape & time-lapse photographer, for this one feature alone I would not only choose the Z5 over the Z6, but I would even sell a Z6 if I owned one and get a Z5 instead! Depending on which system you're in and what your needs are, they might just be the compact, well-priced and impressively sharp little primes you've been looking for. @ bernardlang the Z5 is not destined to be a guaranteed success, dual card slots or not - this is not a professional level camera and as such is fairly expensive.

There little data about the Expeed 6, but my guess is the Bionz X is competitive since it’s also used in the A7 III and A7R III. You can see every blemish on the fireman's skin; every subtle shadow gradation if you look for it, looks pretty clear and sharp to me. I’ve used many brands and there are a lot of good cameras out there. When Nikon first switched from their legendary 3D focus tracking in the DSLR realm to the mirrorless Z-mount with autofocus being done on the image sensor, “Focus Tracking” was a little frustrating to work with: you had to hit the OK button on the rear of the camera to activate and de-activate it. Btw, D610 is still comparable good cameras now. So far though, I am having an issue with the lenses. Make no mistake; it’s not perfect, but that’s the fault of the adapter and third-party lens, not Nikon.

Now, as the year winds down, we're highlighting some of our standout products of the year. Sometimes Nikon’s are more expensive and other times Sony’s are more expensive.

The Z5's dynamic range is very good. I have posted in the Nikon Z forum about this and it seems others have had the same experience. The f1.8 range isn’t super compact but they are light and overall still the most compact to reach that level of quality since you typically need to use f1.4 or f1.2 lenses in Sony/Canon line up if you need the best possible quality. It is amazing that some haven't gotten the message yet- mirrorless does NOT mean sweet tiny lil lenses. There have to be differences. Looks like Sony did and still do the biased review over the years from various youtube channels, that is why this kind of statement is coming from you.

"What is really different between the Z5 and Z6?" I just realized something - is this the first written review done before the video-review of a camera since Chris and Jordan joined DPR team? [Related Reading: Nikon Z6 Review – Does Sony Have Serious Competition?]. If you're just joining us, the 937 posts below seem to generally tilt toward the Z5 being a nice camera (I agree), but: a.) I was pretty disappointed with the camera. Also, this crop for video means that the over-sampled 4K video from the Z6 will appear much sharper and finely detailed, unfortunately. Nikon Z6 Review – Does Sony Have Serious Competition? Second, the Z5’s video is cropped to approximately the DX portion of the sensor, which is fine for most normal and telephoto focal lengths, but it can be a deal-breaker at wider focal lengths. That seems like a pretty ridiculous blanket statement. @ionbar, yes I want FF 4K uncropped for $1400 because it’s possible. i thought Canon is the darkside? With that said, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty test results: The Nikon Z5’s autofocus is good enough to consistently nail focus the majority of the time, (say, anywhere from 7/10 to 9/10 of photos) at low light levels of an exposure value of 1/80 sec, f/1.8, and ISO 6400.  This means it is more than able to shoot in most low light levels where you might be hand-holding and using autofocus, as opposed to putting the camera on a tripod and focusing manually. Both the Canon R5 and the Z5 are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are equipped with a full frame sensor. So, it won my money. I never said it was "great". This is how the Sony Real-Time Tracking system works, by the way, and Nikon’s Focus Tracking works almost as good in decent light, though it gets a bit less reliable in “terrible” light. I ran mine in video mode spitting out HDMI output for five hours straight yesterday and nothing went wrong. I took some of my best photos with entry-level cameras :). I think you nailed the Conclusion/Summary perfectly. Then talk. 3. Wow, shocking, just shocking! The adapter will bring full autofocus, aperture control and EXIF data transfer capabilities to Pentax K-mount lenses when used on select Sony E-mount camera systems. Native ISO could be misleading. All of them will produce wonderful files. Adapting lenses via a camera manufacturers own adapter – Nikon F to Z or Canon EF to RF – is an entirely different experience. $1,396, (body only) $1,696, (w/ 24-50mm kit lens) $2,196 (w/24-200mm kit lens) I've held a Z6 and it is like some higher intelligence scanned my hand and came up with a camera that fits like a glove. Reasons to prefer the Nikon Z5: More detail: Has more megapixels (24.2 vs 20.7MP), which boosts linear resolution by 8%. Senior Editor Barney Britton's Gear of the Year part two details how he ended up with a Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm F11, and despite its quirks, why it was ideal for a creative project in the COVID-era. You can’t even go in a store and buy one. I loved the ergonomics of the X-H1 before I moved over to Nikon but Fuji X-Trans 26 MP sensor only holds up for BW photography. But it's still very much Money for a Camera, into absolute terms. The Canon EOS R5 and the Nikon Z5 are two digital cameras that were announced in July 2020. It sounds similar to … With a 1.8x squeeze, the lens produces a more pronounced anamorphic effect than the 1.33x lenses offered by Sirui, albeit at a much higher cost. I agree with mkowalski. I don't want APS-C and don't want fake medium format either. It can entirely replace an f2.8 flagship zoom in most cases, if you keep an S 50mm f1.8 in your bag for real low light situations. But arguably better quality glass. The AF of the a7rII is a well known thing, claiming it’s great only paints you as a person lacking objectivity. You had to hit the OK button again to stop focus tracking. Shoot a a mid-length portrait (face covering about 1/8 of the frame. Casual video shooters probably won’t notice the difference, but if you’re truly serious about video, the Z6 will be well worth the extra $400. Our test results will demonstrate this shortly. Being a long time Nikon user doesn't automatically make you a good Nikon future predictor. An 89 is a B plus. There are a few quirks to Nikon’s ergonomics which are essentially identical to the Z6 and Z7, and you can read about some of those obscure complaints in our Nikon Z7 review, for example. With Fuji there's no way to bring that information back as it's rounded out when the image is saved. I had Panasonic FZ2000 as well as Mamiya RZ67. .....Reading the review of the Z5 in the French 'RéponsePhoto' magazine doesn't quite give the same results and for various reasons.Apparently in France, the Z5 is only sold in kit form with the disappointing 24-50mm f4-6.3. *shrug* Enjoy your Nikon. Z6 is in a higher category. There you go. Impressively, the Z5 holds its own impressively well when shooting in very low-light. Speaking of the Techart TZE-01, I have one of those too. Which youtubers? Update, i forgot, the intial 300D got a 2nd Display, not on top, but backside, but it was very plasticky. Sadly the reverse is not true. First of all, ignore anyone who brings up the RP as "competition". Lots of brand lover type comments from people that don’t now what they’re talking about (because they haven’t ‘tested the waters’ and used other cameras to compare). Most can't tell the difference between 42MP and 24 MP, esp those interested in a lower priced more entry level FF. As a nightscape & time-lapse photographer, for this one feature alone I would not only choose the Z5 over the Z6, but I would even sell a Z6 if I owned one and get a Z5 instead! Depending on which system you're in and what your needs are, they might just be the compact, well-priced and impressively sharp little primes you've been looking for. @ bernardlang the Z5 is not destined to be a guaranteed success, dual card slots or not - this is not a professional level camera and as such is fairly expensive. Planning to treat yourself to a new full-frame camera this holiday season? As an aside, I'm noticing that the Sony fan crowd is really hammering how you have to adapt CaNikon's previos generation glass to their new bodies in order to fill price/performance holes in their two year old new lens lineups. There little data about the Expeed 6, but my guess is the Bionz X is competitive since it’s also used in the A7 III and A7R III. You can see every blemish on the fireman's skin; every subtle shadow gradation if you look for it, looks pretty clear and sharp to me. I’ve used many brands and there are a lot of good cameras out there. When Nikon first switched from their legendary 3D focus tracking in the DSLR realm to the mirrorless Z-mount with autofocus being done on the image sensor, “Focus Tracking” was a little frustrating to work with: you had to hit the OK button on the rear of the camera to activate and de-activate it. Btw, D610 is still comparable good cameras now. So far though, I am having an issue with the lenses. Make no mistake; it’s not perfect, but that’s the fault of the adapter and third-party lens, not Nikon. And for the record, I've only posted a little over 300 comments in an entire year, since I do have a life outside this little world... > Most can't tell the difference between 42MP and 24 MP...if you're legally blind! Nikon Z5 review: Image Quality and Low Light Performance Image quality from the Z5 is very good, even if the full-frame sensor isn’t as up-to-date as the one in the Z6. That's such a lame lie. The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a version of the Gold Award-winning Q2 that only shoots images in black and white. Sony lenses aren't cheap. You can still get great quality 1080p with the Z5 by the way. Sony a7rII is a relic from the past. For less than $1,400, you’re getting a full frame 24.3 MP CMOS sensor with the EXPEED 6 Image Processing Engine. BSI has been shown to make little difference in FF sizes. The Fuji probably has a better feature set, the cheaper sensor gives them more budget to spend on features, but the Nikon is full frame. Now, as the year winds down, we're highlighting some of our standout products of the year. Sometimes Nikon’s are more expensive and other times Sony’s are more expensive. You can still upgrade to premium anytime. Too bad Fujifilm didn't jump into full frame for the beginning. It's available in Canon EF, Fuji X, Leica M, M42, MFT, Nikon F, Pentax K and Sony E mounts and the first units are expected to ship in January 2021. The title of this article got me thinking; there's a trend building in there. They have insane lenses at more than the cost of a camera, but I far prefer the Z-mount approach of top tier standard lenses and zoom. zoom for 1900 euros. My issue is that I would like to see a score of 90 or over for Gold Award cameras. A great mirrorless video camera from Nikon? My gear is cheaper, except the oldies 5D, A7 back into their heydays. The Z5's dynamic range is very good. I have posted in the Nikon Z forum about this and it seems others have had the same experience. The f1.8 range isn’t super compact but they are light and overall still the most compact to reach that level of quality since you typically need to use f1.4 or f1.2 lenses in Sony/Canon line up if you need the best possible quality. It is amazing that some haven't gotten the message yet- mirrorless does NOT mean sweet tiny lil lenses. There have to be differences. Looks like Sony did and still do the biased review over the years from various youtube channels, that is why this kind of statement is coming from you. The 1M dot screens are used on lots of Nikons and more than capable. just crazy. At low ISOs the Z5 sensor actually has better DR. FPS: The fps is a bit low. In our latest buying guide we've selected some cameras that might be a bit older but still offer a lot of bang for the buck. Nikon Z50 Review | Getting Mirrorless Right The First Time?

nikon z5 image quality

We are in a 2nd lock down and unemployment is 20%+ and I figure other places are suffering as well. Wow, Ein, I still use the original A7, and I don't think it abysmal at all and I am not joking :) Relax. "THOUGHTS" IS PAID TO POST PRO-CANON AND ANTI-SONY PROPAGANDA. * Low light continuous AF capability matches or exceeds DSLRs with fast primes. The answer comes from studying its rivals. How did Nikon make such an affordable full-frame camera, one that at a glance seems not make any compromises in terms of physical quality, nor image quality? AtahualpaThe second wave is just beginning. After reading the review here I thought I was making a good decision in purchasing the camera. So it’s only about the lenses lacking an equivalent in either Z or F mount and the main ones end up being very compact Voigtlander MF lenses. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best. Judging by the large number of Anti-Nikon Trolls panicking over this camera, It must be very good, Surprised nikon has any money left in their budget to pay dpreview for this biased review. While there is no size advantage over conventional DSLR lens size wise, you so get high quality EVFs and a larger AF point coverage area. "Entry-level" cameras are underrated. The Z5 is, for the most part, fun and exciting to shoot with. I've done that with both Sony (Sigma MC-11) and Fujfilm (Fringer). Sony is the mainstay? If they give it a gold award at this point, there is no doubt that the Sony a7C will have one too, what a joke. The advantage of mirrorless is using the OSPDAF to work for both through the EVF shooting as well as shooting using the back screen. The Z5 is an insanely bad value compared to the less expensive A7RII. @Mr Bolton There does seem to be some kind of mob at work here who are deliberately misunderstanding very clear text. But saying the A7ii is good value is a joke. Here’s a selection of prices. The 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 DG DN share similar designs and have weather-sealed metal bodies. Better image quality: Is equipped with a larger and more technologically advanced sensor. Switching to native lenses on my Z6 has been a revelation over my previous lenses, and especially my previous lenses with the D750. (Also, remember, you could buy three-point-two Nikon Z5’s for the price of ONE Sony a9 II!). This may not be important at all for you. Yes, Nikon is the only company affected by the 2nd wave it seems. But then, what else can we expect from someone who tells lies for money ? Are people really looking for a stills-oriented mirrorless camera? Their F mount trinity of 35mm, 50mm, 85mm f1.8 can be bought new for about $1000/€1000. Especially Europe with huge 2nd waves.. Deliverator: Our first troll of the day, with a typically stupid comment that trolls like to make. Just wait for the October announcement for the new Z6s/7s. Again, not bagging on Canon colors or rendering here-but you can make Fuji colors look almost any way you want between the film sims themselves, tweaking their parameters in the Q menu, or the raws. This gave some folks reason to fear that high ISO image quality would not be as impressive as the Nikon Z6 and Nikon D780, which have set a very high bar that roughly matches even the Sony A7 III and Sony a9 II. In my opinion, the only thing it has in common with the Z6 is the Body and Viewfinder. I have the Z6+24-70 f4 and it is very sharp. I'm happy that there's still healthy competition out there, I hope the camera sells well as it will herald good upgrades for all users no matter what their predilection. First, the Z5 has quite a bit of image blackout when taking a picture, so if you want to “spray and pray” at the relatively modest 4.5 FPS, (the Z6 has 12 FPS, by comparison) …you’ll struggle to track very fast subjects in the viewfinder or on the rear LCD. BTW, on the argument not to buy entry-level cameras: I've often bought a camera at the lower end of an enthusiast/semi-pro range and invested my money in good glass. Z is so good, it is unbelievable. I'm sorry but in the shots outside of ISO 100/200 (geezer with the beard should be in that range) the watercolour effect on skin is clearly visible. When I found myself not noticing a difference between a Z6 (with the latest firmware) …and then contemplating, “I wonder how the Z5 compares against the Sony a9 II?” …I knew Nikon had done something right! My favourite Sony lens is the full frame 35mm f2.8 ZA as it weighs 120grams and is tiny. Note that at least some of the stuff below was fixed with firmware updates: * No direct AF point control. Nikon Z5 is ranked #1 out of 54 Advanced Mirrorless cameras with an overall score of 86 whereas Nikon D750 is ranked #6 out of 92 Advanced DSLR cameras with an overall score of 83. So if you compare the weight/bulk/cost of the 3 systems for an uncompromised set of lenses mixing primes and zooms, the Nikon comes out as the clearly better option. What in particular is wrong with it? It's interesting that we are getting feedback from the forums now about Z5 AF. Long time Nikon user. I was interested in the small size. Today Nikon is positioned better than Canon in mirrorless and much better in DSLRs. On a few rare occasions, the price has dropped even lower. Have a look at our initial sample gallery taken on a full-frame Sony body. @Ninja Flyer, Canon and Sony are making smaller, lighter and better lenses. Our initial verdict is that everything is great, (we love the dual SD card slots!) No need to take my word for it - read the 6,000+ comments he has written, most of them in just the past few months! The A7R II has a broad range of modern AF options, including Eye and Face tracking with 399 on-sensor Phase Detection points. Evidently he is a sociopath who has no life outside these forums. Now I know it's a Fuji specific site so obviously it will biased, but the point is the pictures. In fact I would venture to say that most entry level buyers prefer the lower resolution of 24MP...easier to work with on your computers. In other words, you won’t be disappointed by the Z5’s autofocus unless you’re really pushing the envelope of what is possible in terms of low-light AF. Just wanna explore the video side (beginner) at a budget price? Take a look. The Z5 is also a great value. (I even used it once for the Sigma 18-35/1.8 DX for video in super low light, as even with the crop factor it gathers more light than the 24-70.). RP! On the contrary, more people seem to be in a selling mode. The Nikon Z5 is available as a body only for just under $1,400. Beyond that, even the A9 II wasn’t reliable enough for what we’d consider acceptable for professional work like wedding receptions or dark theaters…, What does this tell us? Once you see it, it's almost impossible to unsee it. But €70 all the same. The A7 is a camera you read about or watch YouTube shills talk about and buy on specs. If you want an ultralight and portable full-frame camera, the Sony A7C does at least offer IBIS, 10 FPS, and over-sampled 4K video, just like the Nikon Z6, which to some photo+video shooters will be very worth it. So, you have less flexibility in editing shots. I was already shooting Eterna most of the time, always for video. Fujifilm's 3.00 firmware update adds a new Pixel Shift Mult-Shot mode to its GFX 100 camera that works alongside a new Pixel Shift Combiner program to output 400MP Raw images made up from 16 individual still images. And again.. people complain that smaller sensors don't have enough DR and blow out highlights. As a stills oriented shooter, I would expect to explore video if I went mirrorless. So will see how the Z6 II pans out. Pinpoint fails consistently, the others fail inconsistently. Geez, can we all grow up and acknowledge that each of the major manufacturers produce great cameras, but in individual categories, some are a little better than others. Sounds like a Fuji Fan Boy response. And sharpening at higher ISOs $(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5217--1310257063").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5217); }); }) seems well judged, with no edge haloing, a tell-tale sign of sloppy large radius sharpening. Done. The shutter of the A7R II is also good for 500.000 actuations. But the RP is not a competitor that happens to be 400-500 bucks less. What do they know that isn't stated in Toilet Roll's account? Looking for a Nikon D750 vs Nikon Z5 comparison? I have eight F mount and three S lenses: for stills there is no performance difference. "Thoughts" is paid to post pro-Canon and anti-Sony propaganda. The situation is still dangerous of course and cannot be treated lightly, but we are far away from the fear that has been circulating in the first half of 2020. I wouldn’t count Canon out yet. I’d buy a modern APSC cameraBefore the A7ii. My Z50 focuses faster and better than the Z5. But strong rumors point to a Canon M50ii, which may well outgun the Z50. I could keep going, but the takeaway is that the lenses are close in price and each company has some that are more/less expensive than the other. If you value what high resolution brings and want to use 4K with wide angle lenses, it’s the better choice. Raw image quality from the Z5's 24MP sensor shows excellent detail$(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5206--1268558559").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5206); }); }) at base ISO, on par with its peers. If you think the skin in those photos looks okay, you are a great customer for Fujifilm camera. I would suggest the OP to go to a store and compare both cameras from an AF, ergonomics,... standpoints? Sony is like "we are the future, tomorrows technology today, yehaw" Canon is like "The best you can get from both worlds, DSLR and mirrorless combined, Pro video we are freaking awesome" and then there is Nikon "meh, yeah we have all of that too but partly better implemented, in a more rugged and thought trough body, with more intuitive controls but nah, not going to mention it, users will find out anyway".Nikons bad marketing is the reason why so many people think so poor of the brand although they deliver the best products of all.So if they ever invest in better Marketing it's looking bad for others... while Canon and Sony on the other hand, for them it's more difficult they already have the best marketing and improving products is more demanding. You can't compare Cooper (Fuji) to Landcruiser (Z6). Health care is much better. Photographer and YouTuber Todd Dominey has shared a video that details the history of Kodak Aerochrome film, a film stock he says has 'an origin story unlike any other.'. Actually, the Z5 is a lift-up reincarnation of the 6-year old A7m2 technology. Check out this brand new Z5 sample gallery from our team at DPReview TV. Here are the processed raw images at 100% crop: Since a GIF animation is not the best way to compare ISO noise between two cameras, here’s a side-by-side comparison of the Z5 and Z6 at ISO 6400: But wait! Card slots. (We can’t wait for next year when the Nikkor Z 200-600mm comes out!). The Nikon Z5 can be seen almost a hybrid of the Z50 and Z6. It’s the Z6’s full-sensor 4K video, and the better overall shooting speed. Nikon has certainly progressed to a point where autofocus reliability, in general, is a non-issue for most photographers. SLR Lounge helps over 1.5 million photographers master their craft. Reponse photo can unfortunately not be trusted to be objective. Raw files provide impressive detail capture and good noise performance. It's not a bad camera, really. The Canon RF lenses so far have been very expensive with one or two exceptions. Nikon always includes these in lower bodies. Because in Europe, by and large, (and yes, I've been there-twice) they take care of their people, not just their stock market and Corporations. Slight differences in sharpening between it and the D750$(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5207--892062156").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5207); }); }) (which likely uses the same generation sensor) likely come down to lens used: the Z 50mm F1.8 S in particular is crazy sharp. It has great handling, good shooting speeds and autofocus, nice image quality … Chris and Jordan take a look at the new Sigma 35mm F2 and 65mm F2. The Nikon glass all looks very good quality but I have been disappointed with the size of the primes for a small/light take anywhere combination. PS: in Europe the price is too high for all cameras.The RP is not cheap either - 1300E vs Z5 1600E. Whether that's worth the price difference is a subjective decision. Specifically, we compared the two most important things: image quality, and autofocus performance. So, can you imagine a $1,200 Z5, or even a $1,100 one? While they were out shooting their video about Sigma's new lenses, Chris and Jordan filled up a memory card with photos from the 35mm F2 DG DN using Panasonic bodies. If you look at our ISO Invariance test, you can see that using a low ISO in low light conditions and brightening it, leaves little meaningful difference in the outcome compared to using a high ISO in the first place. I have used Sony and Canon, but the fan boy mentality is intense on camera blogs for some brands, haha. So not sure why you are the only one saying it’s not selling well. Get Premium for $178 During Black Friday 2020. …until you try to shoot really fast action sequences or wide-angle video. Vaporware no more: the much-speculated-about Zeiss ZX1 has arrived. Nikon opted to use their conventional CMOS sensor with this camera, rather than implementing the Backside Illumination (BSI) structure found in the higher-end Z6. I think the reviews reflect the reality which is that Nikon Z cameras are very good sensor wise and very good value and functionality at the different price points. It’s not the perfect camera for everybody, due to the couple of corners that were cut in the video realm and the overall speed/power of the Z5. Fujifilm is unlikely to release a FF mirrorless in approx 35mm and given it's really a medical device manufacturer I suggest the camera division is under constant performance review. But remember, a used Eos R/5D Mark 4 today still more expensive than the Z5 body only. No more gearheads jumping on every new model. No built in flash is a mystery. The bottom line is that if you want a good, solid full-frame camera that is more affordable than the Z5, you’ll have to try your luck with the well-used bargain bin of older DSLRs. The Canon RF 800mm F11's unique combination of telephoto reach, affordability and light weight will likely enable even more people to do the same. Just like my Z7. Check the fireman. True, but aiming for a full frame sensor this time around. It’s enough of a blackout that the Z5 becomes very difficult to use for extremely fast action sequences when shooting in the “Ch” shooting speed, which is just 4.5 FPS. The Z6 and D780 share a more advanced 24MP BSI sensor. The autofocus is much faster and reliable in the Z50. The new Z series cameras do look intriguing, but I'm having no trouble wheedling clinically sharp details out of my Fuji when I want them. Although the Nikon Z5 is aimed to be a lower-tier camera than the Z6, its image sensor, ergonomics, and the menu system are very similar to those of its bigger brother. The viewfinder is also a major disappointment on my Z5. But, considering what it does offer for the price tag, this is going to be our new most highly recommended entry-level full-frame camera body. Switching focus modes, turning the camera on and off will solve focus issues eventually but I can't imagine having a client or a difficult subject in front of me, trying to deal with these failures. In Poland, the price difference between new Z5 and new Z6 is ... 80USD. These two drawbacks are caused by two very specific shortcomings of the Z5. The Nikon Z5 continues to impress us. To get right to the verdict: the Z5’s autofocus is great! Except for the D780 which people say is good because Nikon borrowed its video from the Z6. We immediately compared it to the Z6, and to get straight to the point, we were impressed by what we found! The only significant outwardly visible difference between the Z5 and Z6 seems to be the switching of the mode dial position; the Z5 takes away the top-panel LCD display of the Z6/7, and puts the mode dial there instead. Hmm this review makes me want to quit canon and go to the "darkside". The Nikon Z5 is capable of excellent image quality whether shooting Raw or JPEG. Nikon use a BSI sensor in the better Z6. Also the fireman looks fine to me. What’s the best camera for around $2000? You can see in my gear list what I had. You talk like you’re comparing marketing strategies and not camera systems. DPReview's review of the A7R II went into considerable detail on the subject of AF. This high-speed scenario is really the only thing we can find that might incline a photographer to decide against the Z5. The Z lenses are clearly not any more slow focusing than their Sony or Canon counterparts. looks like you really talking about 300D)btw, I had 300D then give it to my friend - and booooom - it is atm taking nice photos).

Buy Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Z 5 camera Body) features 24.3MP FX-Format CMOS Sensor, EXPEED 6 Image Processor. Call us skeptical, but such are the lives of YouTube stars. If the Z5 were more similar to Z6 it would be a Z6. Ask yourself, did you lust for adapted lenses and adaptors for your F-mount, or did you preferr to buy native lenses for it? There are some exceptions but overall that’s the case. That’s why DPR awarded it Gold.I haven’t seen the Z5 bundled with the 24-70 kit lens though, and if the only kit option is the 24-50 and you want the 24-70, then the Z6 (even the mark 2) kit makes more sense financially than buying the Z5 body and 24-70 separately.For me, the top plate display is important so I’ll be holding out for the Z6ii kit with FTZ adapter when the price drops to current Z6 kit levels. Interestingly Nikon added an SD slot to the Z6 II. Although the Z5 doesn't get the latest and greatest 24MP sensor in Nikon's arsenal, it does deliver impressive image quality across a wide range of situations. adapting lenses is the last resort if you have no other option. For now, that’s all we can conclude about the Z5. But lens lineup is considerably more $$$ than Sony counterparts. - the Z5 owns the low end, Canon has absolutely nothing close- the Z50 is a much more appealing proposition than the M that is a clear dead end with no migration path to FF and a super limited lenses range that will not grow. Camera makers need to make more compelling FF at the 2k level if they want buyers to buy in. Alternately, you can get it with just the FTZ adapter if you already have a bunch of Nikkor DSLR lenses to use, or you can get one of the two lens kits available, with the Nikon Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 or the Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3. Any photographer who has to build a larger lens kit on a tighter budget is much better served by Nikon. At this level FF is dare I say it a novelty and would look at a Z50 instead. There are a lot youtubers out there who are actually not even a true photographer or videographer, more like a "content creator making click bait titles. Let’s go into detail about the key drawbacks of the Z5 that might incline you to buy a Z6 instead. And, keep in mind that nailing focus reliably in such terrible light was also virtually impossible just a few years ago with a DSLR and optical phase-detect autofocus! It is the best video mirrorless from Nikon. So, what do you expect? LCD: A reasonable place to save cost. I wonder how it compares to the X-T4. The title said "Best value stills oriented full framer". Nikon has got everything right except the marketing. Thanks for the heads up about run of the mill image quality from the 24-50mm. You come back in 10 years and I'll show you why. It doesn't look like new R buyers are rushing to buy the best RF lenses at lower prices. Either way, the value is obvious- no other full-frame camera has debuted at a price this low, and offered this many features. You don't need to spend a fortune to buy a camera that's designed for videography. * Subject tracking in video is poor, while the complete auto 'Wide' mode is prone to jump to the background or between subjects in complex scenes. The light in his face is pretty hot. You should read the review. It lacks behind some aspects customers should see it in the final results. It benefits from a large image sensor, high resolution images, and a great autofocusing system. The real lens portfolio difference shows when looking at the full lens portfolio: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/6196822450/lenses-for-mirrorless-how-canon-nikon-panasonic-and-sony-full-frame-options-compare. The Z6/Z7 II are very likely to be better and cheaper. The EVF is very grainy in dark conditions , at least on mine. The Techart TZE-01 works for personal photography but I would never take it on a job as a number of focus modes don't work well. @Mr Bolton Life is certainly better in Europe, I agree. The Primoplan 75mm F1.9 II is a redesign of the original Primoplan 75mm F1.9 designed in 1936. Or you can pay $100 more to get a gray market Z6, over the (gray) Z5. However, cameras using more modern (dual-gain BSI) sensors, like the Z6 and a7 III, show slightly less noise at very high ISOs in shadow regions. Good point, stills photography is such a niche these days, who buys a camera just for that ;)As mentioned by cosmicnode, if the camera was great at video also it might have got 90+. The Sony A7ii is abysmal in use compared to the other cameras you mention. Best entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera: Nikon Z5 vs. Canon EOS RP, Nikon Z5 Hands-on Review (+compared to Nikon Z6), Best Mid-Range Full Frame Mirrorless: Canon R6, Sony a7 III, Nikon Z6 II, Panasonic S5. Want the latest and greatest from Nikon mirrorless? Sony lenses are much more expensive than Nikon lenses. You talked like Z6 never existed. And yes, the R/5D Mark Iv was launched years back and some say the comparison is kinda irrelevant. There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional productions or A-camera for amateur and independent productions. The Sony has double the resolution, better low light performance and uncropped 4K available. Here is the list of Nikon Z5 features that are inferior to the older but slightly more expensive Z6: Z5: Six year-old non-BSI sensor, ISO range 50-102400Z6: Modern BSI sensor ISO range 50-204800, Z5: LCD screen 1 million dotsZ6: LCD screen 2 million dots, Z5: Massive 1.7x 4K video cropZ6: No video crop, Z5: Plastic back and baseZ6: Magnesium alloy. I understand that the awards are granted with different criteria. Video is certainly an important element in mirrorless cameras. Sounds like you haven't tried a Z camera since the 3.0 firmware update, or you haven't tried a Z camera at all and are just repeating what you hear from others that have never shot a Z camera... Read how they analyze products and grade them. Thanks! Sony's new Visual Story app for iOS promises event and wedding photographers a variety of useful tools, designed to simplify their workflow and enhance their business. Oleg,"their own DPReview TV made a video on that Firmware 3.0, and stated that its AF is still mediocre at best[...]". And that’s not to mention that the Nikon 50, 24-70, and 70-200 are all the best lenses of their type ever made. . The Sigma 65mm F2 DG DN is for the photographer who wants a focal length that falls squarely between 50mm and 85mm. It’s the low-light autofocus reliability that we need to really scrutinize! Fortunately there are systems that provides multitude of native lenses. And we've been busy enjoying the last licks of summer with it by our side. AF and AF‑D len… It's always something intended to prompt an argument, not actual intelligent conversation. Needless to say everything he said regarding the A7RII iis a lie; after all, it did win the top gold award from DPReview. I know, there was even the 300D Firmware Hack from Features of the 10D, but back then, i still prefered my 10D, which i still own today, 17 years later. Free at point of service healthcare. No price is given at this time, but the adapter is set to be available by the end of the year. Guys, on page 2 (What's new and how it compares) you should correct the A7III Flash X sync speed speed from 1/200 sec to 1/250 sec. The Sony system has the advantage of being older and therefore many of the R&D costs have been paid for, so they can sell the lenses for less. theres nought wrong with that sensor...about the best dynamic range to date. So, if you’re looking to do action sports or wildlife photography, the Z5 probably isn’t going to work as well as a Z6, which offers zero blackout when configured optimally, and of course, the relatively blazing fast 12 FPS. Personally, I do prefer the traditional camera ergonomics and controls of the Z5, and the Nikon FX mirrorless system is already very lightweight and portable to begin with, so it’s hard to complain over a few ounces. zephyrion974They gave it a Gold for it's stills use not video. When comparing Z5 & S5 prices in the USA, the S5 is about +-$600 more. The Nikon Z5 is an entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera that looks and handles almost exactly like its higher-end Z-mount siblings, the Z6 and Z7. It is a boring camera. The R and RP have only 1(one) SD (SecureDigital) slot!A XQD card is practically bomb-proof, it's as reliable as having 2 SD slots, but faster (per Sony claim). You could activate AF tracking with the shutter release or the AF-ON button too, of course, but taking your finger off those buttons didn’t de-activate it; it just kept going. The Z50 is great to hold and use. Better moiré control: Has an anti-alias filter to avoid artificial patterns to appear in images. Really bad Sony colors, poor weather sealing, and it's AF wasn't so hot either, regardless of the number of AF points. In addition, hygenic practices have been increased everywhere, people do wear masks in highly frequented places. What are some of the goods, bads, and uglies of the Nikon Z5? So if it seems to be a stop better than other APS-C cameras in high ISO, then wouldn't that get it in the neighborhood of a lot of full framers? There you can see the logic in buying the RP, you have to pay 30% more for the Z5 or 40% if both are US versions. I'm watching this on a 32" 4K monitor, I put my glasses on and zoomed in. 'It's all about the camera,' they said. The Z5 is Nikon's brand new entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera, sitting below the mid-range Z6 and flagship Z7 models in the three-camera lineup, and above the APS-C sensor Z50. Matthew Saville is a full-time wedding photographer at Lin & Jirsa Photography, and a senior editor & writer at SLR Lounge. I just did something sneaky, to try and make both cameras look, well, as BAD as possible. Looking also at the remarkable amount of detail present in the camera man, for having very little light on him. Real world education & resources from the most successful wedding photography studios in the world. (Rolls eyes). Before we begin, let me tell u that Nikon Z5 is using a re-designed sensor of Nikon D750 Camera. DJI's second-generation Pocket camera includes a long list of useful upgrades including a wider, faster lens, a larger sensor, more resolution, improved audio and an optional handle that significantly improves control and supports live streaming. I just didn't think Nikon would cut back on the lower priced camera's video. I agree. At higher ISOs$(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5209-1234684027").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5209); }); }) noise performance from the Z5 and D750 drops in comparison to their BSI peers, the Z6 and a7 III (which looks the best). Basically, what happens is, the Z5 blacks out the viewfinder (and live view) when you take a picture, no matter how you configure the shutter and the live image preview or playback. Its a good approach. With all other lenses autofocus does not work. All Rights Reserved, By clicking "Continue" I agree to SLR Lounge's, Nikon Z7 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera Review, Nikon D780 Review – The Best DSLR, In A Mirrorless World. ;-) All I know is I’m happy I refunded the X-T4 with 16-80mm and replaced it with the Z5 + 24-200mm. Can't compared this directly to A7C which is a different category of FF on its own. Take a closer look. Nikon provides the same subtlety with skin tone but in its default colours, skin tones will have a strong yellow cast. I was not happy. The 50/1.8 S rivals the Otus at 5x the price. The issue is that with ISO above 200, skin texture in Fuji files degenerate into a slight watercolour effect very fast. Have to save a few months to get the 24-70 F4. Human nature is an evil thing. And now Nikon. Fujifilm has announced a special version of its 100MP GFX 100 for infrared imaging. The Z5's 24 megapixels cannot stand-up to the Sony's 42 megapixels; nor can Z5 4K with a massive crop (almost 50%!) Still weather sealed the same. It features a 24.3MP CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 6 image processor. @johnami We talk about specialized cameras stores, online or no, which sell it at 1900€On PhotoCineComedie, it has a little 100€ promotion, but that's all. The A9 and A7RIV are beginning to look like something. In short, unlike the Z5 versus Z6, the EOS RP feels more like a Rebel-style beginner camera, not a full-frame 5-series camera. (Part 1) I just returned mine. Just picked this up with a 24-50. Welcome to the pipe and slippers FF. I'm a fan of Nikon and wanting to upgrade from my D7000. For many photographers, these are the two biggest priorities, and for pretty much all photographers they are very high on the list, along with things like sheer speed and dependable build quality. Our Verdict. 273-point* 1 AF system offering accurate focus across 90% of the frame both horizontally and vertically while allowing touch AF during live view. Nikon's 35mm mirrorless are amazing affordable cameras. There are no boring cameras, only boring photographers. With an ovf the image would be clean,but then again it would be to dark to be able to discern anything. Compared to the older Sony a7 II$(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5223-1184922573").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5223); }); }), Z5 color also looks a bit punchier, especially greens. [Related Reading: Nikon Z50 Review | Getting Mirrorless Right The First Time?]. The review notes that some of these such as Subject Tracking during continuous shooting is something even most DSLRs struggle with. I shoot video only occasionally and am not interested in 4k. Isn't Gold award a little bit too high for a camera that is so slow to focus? Oops.Cheers.Davide. With the release of the budget-friendly Nikon Z5 full-frame camera, we now have a number of different options to choose from in the Nikon mirrorless line-up. For instance, i went the EOS 10D, 20D...50D Route - and never looked at the xxxD, or even xxxxxD Series backwards, too much Issues i dislike, like one Dial (!) On the other hand I’d love to be able to mount Nikon S lenses on my a9II. The Z5 produces lovely JPEG color$(document).ready(function() { $("#icl-5212--2048470186").click(function() { ImageComparisonWidgetLink(5212); }); }), identical to that of the Z6. Smart of Nikon to use the same body for three cameras. All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 24.5 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 12Mb. If anything, the Z5 and Z6 being nearly identical despite the $600 difference in their original MSRPs, if nothing else, only really highlights just how much BETTER the Z5’s ergonomics are compared to its competition from Canon and Sony! What about some "native" Nikon AF-S lenses such as 50mm 1.8G or 35 1.8G? In low light the EVF has significant line banding and noise. Body: This is the definition of a minor difference. Sure the number of cases rises, but the number of deaths and the number of people in intensive care is still rather low. Top Display: Another reasonable cost cut. The strongest wording Chris' use in the comparison video regarding the Z6 is "[...]I still feel the overall AF performance may be be the weakest of the three". And WRT the 'fake' ISO, I can set my Fuji on ISO 200 and use it as a light meter for a film camera with 200 speed film in it, and the film will come out exposed correctly. Nikon will surely go out of business; b.) Video: Unfortunately, the best the sensor can do. It has a very nice sensor and will be great for landscape or static subjects. Key takeaways: Having different bodies is useful to justify a wider price range. You got the Z6. Canon couldn’t even believe the orders of them coming in. I use my 300PF and 500PF on my Z6 frequently and have no issues. But with the Z6 you'd have to spend a lot extra on an XQD memory card, whereas the Z5 will take much cheaper SD cards, > with the Z6 you'd have to spend a lot extra on an XQD memory card. Seems like a great solid and relatively decent priced photo camera. I'll take your opinion to the bank. I agree that I would not use the Techart on a paid job requiring AF. The Nikon Z5 is the best entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera you can buy right now. With its weather sealing, metal chassis and high quality construction, the Z5 is much more robustly made than its entry-level status implies. 24-50 is hard to find on it's own right now i think, so you should be able to get a decent price for it. [Related Reading: Nikon D780 Review – The Best DSLR, In A Mirrorless World]. However, in addition to paying nearly 30% more than the Z5’s price tag, you’ll also have to give up the dual card slots and the traditional design form factor with its comfortable ergonomics and full-featured controls. (Well, I metered off a white wall, which should be white, but I let the camera’s metering make it grey; it’s not the camera’s fault! I've just (10/3/2020) checked that the Z5 on amazon.de is EUR 1549 while the Z6 is EUR 1493, Sony A7m2 is 955, and Sony A7m3 is 1942, all prices in euros. The best cameras for under $1000 should have good ergonomics and controls, great image quality and be capture high-quality video. However, cameras using more modern (dual-gain BSI) sensors, like the Z6 and a7 III, show slightly less noise at very high ISOs in shadow regions. Z5's 4.5 FPS is 2 FPS slower than my D7000 (10 year old camera) and too slow (for me), but I'd stump up for 8 FPS. Of course, image quality is the ultimate criterion and here the Nikon Z5 does a very credible job, with good density range, contrast, sharpness and color rendition under a variety of shooting conditions. Look it up. Just like Sony did. The trick is not to buy a truly low-end camera; otherwise you miss out on basic pro features like good manual controls. Nowadays, i am way happy with Fujifilm APS-C, and even shoot my old DSLRs. Fuji has nicely sized lenses but a lot of old formulas with slow autofocus, they need to update their glass but with beasts like the 16-55 f/2.8 or 50 f/1 you may as well go full frame. The Z5 was launched recently in 2020, but it is a lower spec Z6 with dual card SD slots. There’s one to make most people happy no matter what the brand. I had the 300D, 400D, 550D, 1000D into my hands from friends, and always thought heck - seriously, it doesn't suit me, i can't work with this, vs. a 2-digit D Series back into it's heyday. Thanks to the enormous customs fees, it cost the same amount of money when we ship from the US to Europe than to buy directly in Europe... @zephyrion974won't it sell with 24-200mm and body-only?it will drop in price in time, if Z6 II will get shipped around christmas - we could see a significant drop in price for it (if we're lucky) :). It’s just as good as the Z6, or better. …then you’ll probably love the Nikon Z5, too. Not sure about the Z5, I think it’s 200.000. What lenses do you have on the RP? Under normal logic Nikon would sell these by the droves. Not the A7II. They’d rather activate and de-activate focus tracking the same way as on DSLRs: by half-pressing and then taking their finger back off either the shutter release or the AF-ON button, and having the AF point reset back to wherever it was before you started. The Z5 is far superior to the A7R II in everything but resolution, but if your needs are mostly for subjects that don't move, it's pretty compelling. That's funny. Aside from those two drawbacks, working with the Z5 is pretty fun; it feels exactly like a Z6 but with the mode dial re-arranged, and dual card slots of course. There is nothing repeat nothing the Z5 can do that the A7RII cannot. Please be nice as I only posted here to inform anyone that might be considering a Z5 purchase to do a little more research and maybe even do the 30 day Nikon trial if you are. Bernardlang you say the R5/6 are not selling well, but are on a huge backorder list due to the huge increase of sales. Here is a quote from the review... (Part 2) "The Z5 offers solid autofocus performance whether using traditional subject tracking, face/eye detect, or simply a single AF point/area. or did you preferr to buy native lenses for it as there were pentiful of native F-lenses for your F-mount DSLR? The Nikon Z5 is capable of excellent image quality whether shooting Raw or JPEG. all hail Sony; c.) entry-level anything is a bad purchasing choice; d.) camera "enthusiasts" would know precisely how to make better marketing and design engineering decisions using someone else's money. So choose wisely if you are looking to build a glass collection in any of these families. The rear camera (or cameras) on an iPhone has all the latest bells and whistles, but how do you use them to capture a selfie or record a video of yourself? Nothing the Z5 doesn't do better except all the cases when you need autofocus... :-). @refusenik, ok I've found $90 23GB XQD on amazon vs ~$20 for SD UHS. Canon R5 vs Nikon Z5. (It’s missing the front command dial, the C1, C2, and C3 buttons, a focus point control joystick, and a deep, comfortable grip.) BTW, did they ever resolve that overheating problem? Of course I know the Z6 exists. Adapting lenses from other systems (most famously EF to Sony E mount) is fairly awful. The Z5 is part of Nikon’s full-frame Z-mount system, which gives you exceptional image quality and optical design in a compact build. We could have it on demand, drive-through with results sent electronically. To our surprise, the Z5 mostly held onto even fast-moving subjects just fine, even with the constraint of a rather dark f/6.3 aperture! My French friends would be rioting in the street if they had to pay 70 Euros the head for any medical procedure! @Armanius, You're talking nonsense.

With that said, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty test results: The Nikon Z5’s autofocus is good enough to consistently nail focus the majority of the time, (say, anywhere from 7/10 to 9/10 of photos) at low light levels of an exposure value of 1/80 sec, f/1.8, and ISO 6400.  This means it is more than able to shoot in most low light levels where you might be hand-holding and using autofocus, as opposed to putting the camera on a tripod and focusing manually. Both the Canon R5 and the Z5 are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are equipped with a full frame sensor. So, it won my money. I never said it was "great".

Z6 is in a higher category. There you go. Impressively, the Z5 holds its own impressively well when shooting in very low-light. Speaking of the Techart TZE-01, I have one of those too.

Depending on which system you're in and what your needs are, they might just be the compact, well-priced and impressively sharp little primes you've been looking for. @ bernardlang the Z5 is not destined to be a guaranteed success, dual card slots or not - this is not a professional level camera and as such is fairly expensive.
