First Impressions of Nikon's Z5 Full Frame Mirrorless Camera

Watch out Sony, with the Z5 Nikon is now a serious player in the mirrorless game.

A week ago I decided to take an adventure with Nikon's new mirrorless camera, the Z5. It's similar to its older siblings, the Z6 and Z7, with some very important changes (to me) that may have finally swayed me into Nikon's mirrorless world.

These changes from the previous models Z6/7 include:

  • The Z5 ditches XQD and goes back to dual SD slots. This is primarily because they also downgraded the video capabilities of the Z5. I'm okay with this because I don't shoot video.
  • Whether it was Nikon or Adorama, the FTZ adapter was included at a discounted rate. Really discounted, like $200 off. This instantly made my collection of Tamron lenses compatible, and, I did verify with Tamron that they were in fact compatible with the Z5. 
  • Controls. The new design incorporates and interesting union between hardware and software that creates one of the most ergonomic user experiences with a camera that I have ever had. I can adjust all my settings between the hardware controls and software touchscreen with one hand. I never was able to work my D810 or D600 with as much ease as the Z5. 
  • Price. You can't get a better tech value for what the Z5 has in any other mirrorless camera. It's full frame, tilt-touchscreen, vibration control built into the body, 24MP, dual SD cards, USB charging, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth and so many software features I haven't had the time to play with them all. 

Despite Nikon labels this mirrorless camera “Entry-Level”, the technology, craftsmanship and technical potential this camera offers is nothing near entry-level. Imagine if Nikon's original mirrorless camera, the Nikon 1 V1, and Nikon's D810 having a baby. The Z5 is just that, and I can't wait to watch this baby (product line) grow. 

The only reason I can think of why Nikon did that was to hopefully lure new photographers, as well as those, like myself who were first hesitant about making the jump my D810 to a Z series. At this price-point, which is the only thing entry-level about this camera, their marketing succeeded and so far I have yet to find one thing to be disappointed in.

Okay, maybe a 46 MP edition would be nice, and call it a “Pro” because this camera is a champ at any mega-pixel.
