First of all this is my first ever (posh) full frame camera, I've had fairly basic digital cameras in the past but nothing on the scale of this camera, I will try to review it as well as I can, and give you my experience with it as a complete noviceI'm completely blown away by the high quality of the photos I've taken with this camera, and for a complete newbie it is very easy to use. I've posted a few photos of my dogs and some of the area near where I live, I'm hoping to go away next month so will be making full use of it thenThe camera came very well packaged, and had a few booklets with basic operating instructions, although you can go to a website and complete a short course to learn moreSo what do you get for your bucks?With the Nikon Z5 Kit you get a 25-40mm NIKKOR Z zoom lens, a strap, battery and charging cable with plug. There is also a USB wire which you can use to charge the camera, handy if you're out and not near a charging point. The battery is easily inserted into the battery charger and takes around two and a half hours to charge, unfortunately you don't get a flash unit included, so I've only been able to take photos during the daytime at the moment, you also can't save any photos without having a memory card, so I had to buy one before I was able to test the cameraWhen you've taken your photographs you can transfer them on to your smart phone via Bluetooth, use WiFi to transfer on to your laptop or desktop, or transfer via a usb cable, I chose to transfer photos via WiFi and after playing about with the settings for a while, I soon figured out how to transfer them, although I did have to download Wireless Transmitter Utility from Nikon on to my laptop to do this, but once I'd done this, it was fairly simple to send my photos over, I could then decide if I wanted to keep or delete the photos, great if you don't have a large memory cardAt the moment I've only got one memory card inserted but there is space for two memory cards, which is great if you take a lot of photographs, or you could use one for photos and the other for videosTo me this camera is quite expensive to buy, but I've been educated and told that this is actually mid range and they can cost a lot more than this, but it is a Nikon and their reputation for cameras does precede them, and I'm honoured to be chosen to test and review this cameraIf like me, you really don't know much about cameras you can use the auto focus setting to take your photos and videos, or you can learn about all the different settings (which I'm going to do). In the auto settings you just line up your shot, press the shutter half way and then all the way down, so even someone with no experience can successfully use this camera to take great shots. I've not actually tested the video out yet but I'm very impressed with the quality of the photos that I've taken and will continue to play about with the camera and all its functions over the next few monthsThe camera is pretty compact and although it's not lightweight, it's not really that heavy either, but I have made full use of the camera strap when out taking photos earlier as I didn't want to risk dropping itThe camera is weather sealed and is a mirrorless camera, which I'm lead to believe means that light reaches the cameras sensor, creating depth, colour and more detailI've had great fun testing this camera and have still got so much to learn and to play about with, this camera is great for a novice like me or an experienced professional photographer, it's got something for everyone and I really can't praise it enough, it's a brilliant piece of kit and is enough to start anyone off on their photography journey, I just need to invest in a flash unit now. Nikon is a brand leader and they've certainly excelled themselves with thisI highly recommend this camera

This is the most expensive and also the best quality camera I have been fortunate and lucky enough to have been able to try out. The photo quality of this camera is beyond amazing!! I have attached several photos that I have taken, and the quality of them is just WOW! In one of the photos you are able to see the image of the flower and the insects on that flower so clearly, as well as another one where you are able to see a wasp in the flower, caught sucking the nectar out.The camera itself is relatively easy to use, but I do advise reading the manual that comes with it as there is so many things that you can do with the camera, from different settings you can put this on,right down to it connecting via Internet and Bluetooth. Everything is explained in the manual, as it is extensive, but recommended read before knocking it on.You do have to purchase and SD Card before you are able to take any actual photos for the photos to be able to save onto the card. This camera does have two SD card slots and you can decide how you wish to use the second slot, if you choose them both, whether as a back up copy for your photos so you can guarantee that your photos are definitely saved, or just as an over flow for when your first one fills up.There is a microphone build into this camera for video recording, but I'm not going to say it's the best of quality and is going to pick up your sound from far away, but there are things you can buy to improve the quality if you want to. The screen on the back is touch screen, which I kept forgetting, but definitely comes in handy when trying to compose a good photo. You aren't able to see yourself if you are trying to capture a selfie style photo or video as the back screen doesn't turn around, but again you can buy additional add-ons for that, if you want them.With this camera you get the camera, the battery, battery charger, a strap (which ensures that I never drop it, which I need), so many lens covers as they are detachable and need protecting. You are able to connect it to you laptop via a cable that's provided and there's a slot for a HDMI cable (small) to be connected into the camera itself.Do be careful when ordering as I received poor delivery when it came to this product and found it just sitting on my door step with no note or delivery notification. Anyone could have taken it and I wouldn't have know that it was delivered in the first place. I am still yet to received a dispatch or delivery notification for this product.

Nikon has been my camera brand of choice for very many years and I have always been delighted with the quality and build and results from my cameras. So, when I was given the opportunity to test and review this camera, I jumped at the chance.When I unpacked the Z5 Kit I was pleased that it was relatively lightweight and in fact rather smaller than I had expected. This convenience does not mean any loss to quality of the product. The camera is ‘weather-sealed’ which is a great plus when using outdoors. There is no need to worry about rain or dust. There is a strap which is useful for preventing dropping the camera, something which ruined an old Canon I used to own. Having said that,the camera does seem very robust.The box contains some information booklets to get the owner started, but for much more detailed help you should go on-line. There is a short course available there. All the kit comes very well packaged.What you get in addition to the Z5 24-50 Kit are a NIKKOR Z zoom lens, a strap, battery and charging cable with plug. Flash unit needs to be purchased separately. There is also a USB cable for charging the battery when necessary, perhaps when out and about. There are two slots for memory cards. Maybe use one for photos, the other for video. Bluetooth can be used for transferring photographs directly to phone, tablet or computer.The lens is quite remarkable: it claims to be ‘the smallest, lightest full-frame zoom lens out there’ and it certainly is effective. You can use this both for wide angle views and close focus portrait. There is a tilting touchscreen – a great feature – use it to focus and shoot. If you prefer there is an autofocus which is imaginatively intuitive and produces excellent results. Above all it is fast and silent and so does not distract. The EVF is a real aid to composition. You can be confident that what you compose and see is what you will get. The camera is mirrorless which emphasises precision of definition and focus.The camera is not difficult to use, although it has many features which will take the beginner some time to utilise. I have not yet begun to fulfil the potential of this excellent product., not least in the very limited use of video I have so far made. Nevertheless, I am excited at the potential for development and discovery. I am so pleased with the Nikon Z5 – I would recommend it wholeheartedly to the enthusiastic photographer, even if you have limited experience.

I had a Nikon years ago; it was a digital camera kit (cannot remember the model etc.) which was given to me by a photographer friend, and it took excellent photos as you would expect from a brand leader, but it was just too big and heavy for me so in the end I gave it to someone else.When I was asked to test and review this camera kit, I was really excited as it sounded like the camera and lens were smaller and lighter than my previous one – and they are! It is highly portable and relatively lightweight kit, but you are not sacrificing anything.This weather-sealed camera is what is known as a mirrorless camera – I believe this means that more light reaches the camera’s sensor, which creates more detail,depth and colour.The versatile lens is one of the smallest and lightest full frame retractable zoom lens on the market. It allows you to capture wide angle as well as portraits (24mm-50mm F4 6.3).I have had to do some pre-recorded videos of myself for virtual content during the lockdown and would have found the Z5’s ability to capture 4K ultra HD footage a godsend. I have not tried this yet but this camera is also capable of creating time-lapse movies and stills while filming.It is also equipped with a fast, precise and silent autofocus that allows you to accurately follow and track your subject, having both eye and animal detection. And don’t worry about shaky images as it has an inbuilt stabilisation for clear and smooth footage and images.The kit includes a battery and charger unit, but the USB-C port on the camera can also be used to power or charge it.The camera features both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity so you can send your images direct to your computer or another smart device. Memory-wise, the camera has two USH-II slots so a big thumbs-up on this score.But what’s it like to use? It’s a dream and great fun to experiment with. I have just taken some photos of my cats to give you an idea, but I am not an expert photographer so please don’t judge the camera based on my initial efforts. (All other images of the kit are taken on another smart device).This is a comprehensive starter kit from a brand leader, which I am happy to recommend, especially to those interested in making their first foray into full frame photography. A quality product through and through.

This is my first proper Nikon (I had a D7000) and it is a joy to use. If you are pondering whether a mirrorless camera is what you need/want I wold say go for it. I'm used to a Canon 6D and this is easily as good, or even better, and a whole lot lighter, plus it has some nice tricks such as touch focus on the large LCD screen.First impressions: it is just a good looking piece of kit. Smaller than a DSLR and also lighter but still with a bit of weight in the hand. Very think due to the lack of the mirror. Really love the design. The rear LCD tilts out to avoid the sun, very good definition.Setup: easy. Dual memory cards which is a nice touch. I had a flashing warning for a bit and then realised I needed to set date and time!Putting on the strap always a challenge!Lens: the kit lens is very nice, although for longer reach you'll, of course need to invest. The 24-50mm has a slightly annoying feature in that it is very small when retracted but you need to open it up to take a photo. Only a tiny bit annoying, I get that it is to cut down the size. The shots it takes are incredible. Whether portraits or street art, the quality is excellent, no real drop of detail across the frame. I've managed to order a Z 24-200mm lens (really, really hard to find) which has excellent reviews and will enable me to further expand use of the Z5.Features: I like the old school viewfinder to frame shots. A nice feature is that it only turns on when you put your eye to the viewfinder (saving battery life). If you want to go a bit "sci fi" the screne can be used to focus and also focus/shoot. It's not really for me but it is incredibly clever.Focus: picking different focus points is very simple using the thumb dial, I found it a lot simpler than my Canon, and it has a lot more focus points than my 6D. It has facetracking and also seem to pick out my dogs faces.I've only used the Z5 for a couple of weeks but I am really in love with it. I like the build quality and the picture quality. Even on Auto mode the pictures it takes are phenomenal,and switch to the other modes gives flexibility in framing the shot.It's not a cheap camera but you getting some impressive really kit.I can't recommend it enough. For a super keen amateur (wannabe pro) like me, this is the camera to get right now.

I am not professional photographer but my biggest hobby is taking photos.When I've received chance to try this camera I was so excited ( and still I am!)First impression when I took out from the box was wow.The Nikon Z5 has a 24-megapixel CMOS sensor that works with the Expeed 6 processor and is equipped with a 5-axis stabilization system with a strength of 5 EV. Efficient and accurate focusing is ensured by the camera's autofocus, offering eye tracking mode for both humans and animals. The ISO sensitivity range is 100-51200, and the burst mode works at 4.5 fps. There was also the possibility of filming in Full HD resolution.In addition, the Nikon Z5 has two memory card slots,USB power supply - they allow me to quickly support UHS-II SD cards and charge (with the camera off) or power via USB.This camera is distinguished by a solid and durable housing - the camera body is made of magnesium alloy and, as the manufacturer declares, has a high level of sealing.Another advantage is the large 3.2-inch amazing touchscreen. In addition, the Nikon Z5 was equipped with an electronic viewfinder with a resolution of 3690 thousand. points. On the back of the camera you will find a convenient joystick for setting the AF points and other functional buttons.Of course, there was also built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.The new battery will allow me to take 400-500 photos on a single charge. Additional power will be provided by the MB-N10 grip (the same as in previous full-frame Nikon mirrorless cameras).Movie recording is on an "average" level - 4K at 30 fps has a crop of 1.7x.I would recommend this camera to anyone as it is not very difficult. I mostly use automatic settings but I've started looking for guide book to improve my skills working with this camera as I can see bigger potential for my photographs. There are also many groups on social media where we can find many useful tricks.The only thing I would advise to Nikon. My camera arrived when we weren't at home and the delivery driver left it next to our door. It is not cheap to risk being taken by someone passing by.

This new camera from Nikon delivers 24 mp full-frame photography in a surprisingly lightweight and portable package. Following on from the success of the Z6, they have pitched the Z5 at a cheaper price to appeal to the serious enthusiast. It is feature packed, including two memory card slots, image stabilisations, and decent weather sealing. Anyone thinking of buying this camera is unlikely to just use the point and shoot program mode, but that is there too.Most functions are accessed through the comprehensive menu system, and there are a lot of them! Best to read the full online manual, if you want to get the most out of a camera that offers a great deal of settings and tweaks.Plus points are the excellent electronic viewfinder, a wide range of shooting options including colour-changes, filters, and monochrome, together with impressive ISO capability and a variety of white balance options.I only shoot fine j-pegs, and they have so far proved to be excellent, whether opting for centre-weighted, or matrix metering. The full frame files are large, so remember that if trying to send them online, and also make sure your memory card or cards is big enough to deal with a day's shooting.I would like to have seen a pop-up flash for fill-in, and the plastic-built kit lens delivers decent (often very good) results, but its 24-50 zoom range is severly limiting for portraits or distance shots. More Z-mount lenses are being offered, and any old lens will fit with an adaptor. But it would have been nice to have a longer kit lens from the start.Otherwise, this is a great camera to move on to from a DX format or zoom compact, and it looks as if Nikon has a winner once again.

Essentially what you get here is a still and video camera with almost (and I mean almost exactly) the same specs and performance as the top-of-the-sector (in my opinion) Nikon Z6 but for a lot less money.Some of the very slight technical differences include: a 24.3MP sensor on the Z5 (as opposed to a 24.5MP on the Z6); a Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 kit lens on the Z5 (against an S-line 24-70mm f/4 kit lens for the Z6); and, when shooting video in full HD the Z5 reaches a maximum of 60fps, while the Z6 can get to 120fps).On the other side of the equation, in every aspect that really counts, the Z5 equals or virtually equals the Z6 (and is better than any other similar comparable camera by other manufacturers,in my opinion). For example: it uses exactly the same 3.69 million dot display electronic viewfinder as the Z6 (and the Z7, incidentally), which is the best I've used; the screen tilts up and down for low and high-level shooting (like the Z6 and Z7, again); and the auto-focus seems to be just as responsive as in the Z6, with the same number of inbuilt auto-focus points.So: 1. Is this almost identical to the much more expensive Z6? Yes. 2. Is there any noticeable difference between either the still or the video quality of the Z5 compared to the Z6 (or Z7 for that matter)? No. 3. Is the Z5 a terrific camera for video-making and stills-taking? Yes.I hope that helps.

The camera is fabulous. Low light performance is unbelievable. At night in dim street lights it can take bright pictures. With a little adjustment of aperture and shutter speed, the brightness can be made normal so that the photos come off looking exactly like what the street looks to human eye. Great work by the engineers. One issue is that low cost Z mount lenses are not yet available from third parties. But I believe those are in preparation, and till then it is possible to use an adapter.The real problem is the atrocious customer service on an expensive device. My kit came with the wrong user manual. So I asked Nikon for a copy of the manual (after registering the device with proof).They outright refused. A printed manual costs nothing compared to the £1.5K price of the device. If this is their attitude for a manual that costs them pennies, I shudder to think what will happen when there is an expensive issue.So, overall, even with the great camera, I regret not going with the investment in canon. Yet another tech company and good tech development is probably going to get ruined by the out of touch "business" people making greedy business policies.

+Solid, robust feeling buildGood EVF and tilting rear screenTwin memory card slots-Only 4.5fps continuous shooting4K video is cropped24-50mm kit lens is limitingNikon Z6 is better valueThe camera uses the same stunning electronic viewfinder as the Z6 and Z7, with a 3.69 million dot display, for a crystal-clear, near-lag-free image that is as close as you can get to a ‘proper’ optical viewfinder. Thanks to the use of top-quality Nikon optics in the display, it’s still one of the the best EVFs around.For those making the move from a DSLR, though, the lack of direct access buttons can take some getting used to. While Nikon DSLRs typically allow you to change between single,continuous and self-timer shooting modes by turning a dial, or between AF-S, AF-C and Manual focus with a dedicated button, here you’ll need to select these options from on-screen menus. Likewise, there are no dedicated buttons for oft-used functions like metering, white balance or selecting between raw and JPEG image quality.

Love this super effective and attractive camera from Nikon.Packed with features it is nevertheless surprisingly light and compact.Memory more than adequate.I haven't had an opportunity to take it on a proper field test with the ongoing CV19 related travel restrictions in place locally for me currently but with the limited range of subjects available in house and garden the camera has performed impeccably.Highly recommnended and great value.

Extremely high quality pictures and videos Very impressive....The kit includes a battery and charger unit, but the USB-C port on the camera can also be used to power or charge it.The camera features both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity so you can send your images direct to your computer or another smart device. Memory-wise, the camera has two which is ideal..Would recommend..
