Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body
Accessible Full-Frame Performance – 24.3MP FX Sensor, 273-Point Hybrid AF, 5-Stop Sensor-Shift VR & Dual UHS-II SD Card Slots

The Nikon Z5 is a versatile, entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera body engineered to provide photographers and content creators with an accessible gateway into FX-format imaging. Powered by a 24.3MP CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 6 image processing engine, the Z5 delivers impressive clarity, low-noise performance across a broad sensitivity spectrum (ISO 100 to 51,200), and smooth color transitions. With continuous shooting speeds up to 4.5 fps and a 273-point hybrid autofocus system supporting Eye and Face Detection for humans and animals, this body provides reliable tracking and precision focus for everyday photography, portraiture, and travel documentation.

Housed in a durable, weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis, the Z5 is built to handle challenging environmental conditions. It features a built-in 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) system that compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake with native Z-mount glass—and 3-axis stabilization with adapted F-mount lenses via the optional FTZ adapter. For video, the Z5 captures UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps (with a 1.7x crop) and uncropped Full HD up to 60 fps. Outfitted with a bright 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a 3.2″ tilting touchscreen LCD, dual UHS-II SD card slots, and SnapBridge wireless connectivity, the Z5 delivers full-frame capability in a compact, reliable package.
