A perfect companion for full-frame shooters, the Nikon Z5 II mirrorless camera is a well-rounded and reliable option for professional photo and video content creators. While it's been nearly five years since the launch of its predecessor, this refreshed model introduces several valuable improvements that we'll dig into further.
Starting with the key elements that bring this camera's performance up several notches, its incorporation of the EXPEED 7 processor, which has become the standard processing engine for Nikon's premier digital cameras, including the powerful Z9. It's no secret how integral autofocus performance is to strong image capturing, so this change was a must. Not only that, but this model also sees a new 24.5MP BSI-CMOS FX-format sensor that offers clean high-sensitivity output and reduced noise in your images when working throughout the native ISO range from 100 to 64000. This processor and sensor duo unlock high-resolution images, shooting speeds up to 30 fps, automatic detection of nine unique subjects, and noteworthy low-light capabilities with up to 7.5 stops of built-in image stabilization.
Bringing modernized features to your fingertips, the Z5 II features a flip-out touchscreen that avails viewing your monitor from all angles and a viewfinder that is 3x brighter than the Z5, so you can maintain a clear view of your subject despite unfavorable lighting conditions.
At the press of a button, you can access a wide range of custom color presets, ensuring your images maintain your preferred style. The Z5 II retains its usage of dual SD memory card slots, which support up to UHS-II protocol for high-speed and efficient file saving.
Support with Nikon Imaging Cloud gives you access to downloadable picture controls, automatic image transfer to storage sites, and automatic firmware updates. Not everyone can afford to spend countless hours in post editing and exporting their work, which is why these features are a massive benefit. For instance, picture controls avail you significant control over how your images appear, allowing you to personalize them to your liking with the right amount of contrast, color, brightness, and more. You can also transfer photos and videos to your phone or tablet wirelessly as well as use your device to capture remotely via the Nikon SnapBridge app.
Because every great camera needs a capable lens, Nikon has put together a couple of kits for the Z5 II. The first of which pairs the mirrorless camera body with Nikon's NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, offering an all-encompassing zoom range for creators who capture a little bit of everything. The second kit provides the Z5 II with the NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3, which is an excellent wide-to-normal length zoom lens that's great for landscape and street photography and is easy to travel with.
