As a photographer and videographer, I need a camera that can do both promptly, and the Nikon Z 5 does just that. It's great for photos of weddings, church, events, and shoots. It wouldn't be suitable for sports, though, as its burst mode is quite weak. Still, it is a good entry-level camera

Pros

  • Autofocus
  • Body construction
  • Image quality
  • 4k
  • ISO
  • Image stabilizer
  • Ergonomics
  • Beautiful design

Cons

  • Doesn't work with D series lenses
  • Lacks popup flash
  • 4k crop
  • Slow photo burst

Très bon boîtier qui profite de la large game d'optique Nikon et compatible via bague ftz avec les objectifs F les dernière maj améliore le boîtier et la détection des yeux fonctionne maintenant en vidéo également, l'autonomie de la batterie est au top, et le double emplacement sd card est un plus avec la possibilité de recharger l'appareil tout en l'utilisant, en luminosité et basse lumière il n'a rien a envier au Nikon z6, je l'utilise avec un 24-70 2.8 Nikon avec bague ftz et c'est parfait complété par un nikkor 28-300 F3.5, nikkor 85 f1.8, sigma macro 1:1 105 2.8 et un fish eye 8mm 3.5 et c'est parfait 😉

Pros

  • Double slot carte sd
  • Rechargement en utilisant l'appareil
  • Compatible objectif F avec bague ftz
  • Wifi et boîtier tropicalisé

Cons

  • Crop en vidéo 4k
  • Les objectifs monture Z trop cher
  • Le modèle vidéo a amélioré même si c'est déjà très bien

Electronic viewfinder (EVF)

The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
is weather-sealed (splashproof)
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution

1040k dots

1040k dots

A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
EVF resolution

3690k dots

32k dots

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
has a built-in focus motor
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
screen size

3.2"

3.2"

The size of the screen (measured diagonally).

Optics

sensor size

Full frame

APS-C

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Nikon Z

Nikon Z

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

51200 ISO

51200 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

102400 ISO

204800 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

2160 x 30 fps

2160 x 30 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

144 Mbps

144 Mbps

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
number of microphones

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nikon Z 5)

2

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Battery

Battery life (CIPA)

470 shots

shoots raw
Nikon Z 5
Nikon Z50
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
