Nikon - Z 5 4K Video Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) - Black

I’m coming from a shooting with the Nikon D800 for about 7 years now and i’ve had a lot of trouble switching over to mirrorless. I’ve tried out Sony and Cannon even the Z6ii but those files didn’t satisfy my taste. I picked up this camera thinking “eh I’m probably not gonna like this one either…it’s the cheapest full frame camera in Nikon’s lineup…I need the *pro* cameras which are $3000 +” to my surprise this camera is everything I wanted. It’s has all the pros of a Nikon plus the advantages of mirrorless such as eye af, it’s much lighter, touchscreen af, and more

The first time I have a full frame digital camera. I mostly take videos of my grandchildren. I mostly use the Nikon Z lens 50mm 1:1.8. I like taking videos in the aperture priority mode because I can control the depth of field. The quality is so high even in HD that individual frames are perfect size and resolution for sharing with family and friends. What I also like is the Nikon tradition of compatibility with older lenses. With the FTZ adapter I can use all my older lenses. I have only started exploring the camera's options. However, I was able to start using it with a minimal preparation. It is worth noting the camera's low light capabilities. One of the pictures below is a frame from a HD video the other is a RAW picture.

Coming from a DSLR camera, I found the Z5 somewhat challenging to use at first. I couldn't get it to focus properly and images seemed distorted and didn't have the quality I was used to seeing with the D7100. But after playing around with it for quite some time, I was able to finally get the hang of it. A little learning curve, and this camera has helped me capture many great images for my clients and personal photos for myself. I highly recommend it! Especially if you are looking for a budget friendly alternative.

Excellent camera for the price. Good service, the sellers know everything about the product.

My first use of a full sensor and I’m very amazed in the difference from my old crop sensor d3500. The quality of the AF and usability compared to the other Nikon. I am not a pro photographer but really looking to start, this will definitely get my feet wet with the quality of pics. Here are couple shots with my 50mm 1.8 Nikkor z mount lens
