Nikon Z5 + Nikkor 24-50mm f/4-6.3

Nikon Z5 - Nikon's basic camera

The Nikon Z5 is Nikon's basic camera for the mirrorless Z-bayonet system. The Z5 is in many ways very similar to the Nikon Z6. The same features are the body stabilizer, autofocus system, and design outline. The Z5 is equipped with a 24 megapixel FX (cinema size) format CMOS sensor, NOT a similar BSI model as the Z6, but at least with the same Expeed 6 processor. The Z5 body stabilizer can at best reduce movement by five apertures.

This package includes a Nikkor 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens.

The body of the Nikon Z5, unlike its big brother, is made of polycarbonate (the Z6 has a magnesium alloy body). Of course, moisture and dust protection is still in place. The top surface has been simplified, with the Z6/Z7's status display replaced by a traditional Mode switch. In terms of weight, the bodies are the same, at 675 grams.

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 - universal lens

Smooth design and versatile focal length, Nikon Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 With its sleek design and versatile focal length, the Nikon Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 is a compact standard zoom from wide angle to normal focal length. Its protruding design keeps the size down, making it ideal for a travel lens, for example. Thanks to the stepping motor, autofocus is fast, quiet and very accurate, while manual override is functional in stills and video. The optical formula consists of three aspherical elements, and a pair of low dispersion elements. These, as everyone knows, keep various distortions and colour leaks at bay. Super integrated coating reduces haze and improves contrast, brightness and colour accuracy. In addition, the lens has a programmable control ring that allows you to set intuitive camera or exposure control settings.

• A ”kit lens” designed for the Nikon Z bayonet that can also be used on DX format cameras where it offers a 36-75mm equivalent focal length
• Three aspherical elements reduce distortion
• Two ”extra-low dispersion” elements reduce colour leakage
• Super integrated coating reduces haze and reflections
• The stepper motor is fast, quiet and accurate, and the autofocus is ideal for video and stills
• A slim design makes the lens small and agile
• Programmable steering backbone
• Electromagnetic aperture mechanism makes exposure precise
• Rounded seven dimmer blades -> soft bokeh
• Dust and moisture repellent body

Nikon Z5 + FTZ

According to new Nikon mirrorless, old Nikon users should also buy Nikon FTZ adapter. The adapter allows you to get all Nikkor AF-S lenses to work natively on Nikon Z bodies. AF-D lenses cannot be used with autofocus, at least not with this adapter, because it lacks a screw motor. However, you can use the lenses with manual focus. The Nikon FTZ adapter also multiplies the range of lenses available. We strongly recommend getting an adapter as well.

Details of the frame

The Z5 shares the same viewfinder as its sibling, a 3.69 million dot OLED, and a 3.2" touchscreen. The resolution of the screen has been slightly dropped but the memory card side is a more consumer-friendly solution. Two UHS-II speed card slots is quite a good solution. The camera uses the new EN-EL15C battery, but the camera is backwards compatible with older EN-EL15 models. The Z5 can use the same battery grip as the Z6 and Z7. The camera can be charged via USB, and can also be used with USB power.

Video

The Nikon Z5 is not the main star on the video side. However, it can record 4K/30p video, albeit with 1.7x crop. 1080 video uses the entire sensor. The camera doesn't have any slow motion video capabilities. However, there are both mic and headphone connections.
