Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera with 24-50mm Lens VOK040ZA review
In many respects the Nikon Z5 is a great camera and combined with the compact Nikkor Z 24-50MM F/4-6.3 kit lens, it makes a very attractive choice of full-frame camera for travel or everyday photography - even if the zoom range is a little limiting.- Compact size and full-frame sensor
- Nikon Z mount
- Best in class viewfinder
- Maximum continuous shooting of 4.5fps (frames per second)
- 1.7x crop applied to 4K video
- 24-50mm kits lens is compact but has a limited zoom range

- Small and light
- Limited frame rate for sports and action
- 4K video cropped

Nikon Z5 Review
The Nikon Z5 is a great buy for those brand new to full-frame photography, and it has an appealing range of specifications that should suit lots of different type of photographers. It’s less useful for video, with a heavy 1.7x crop on 4K shooting, as well as those with a keenness for action photography. If neither of those apply to you, it’s a fine choice.- Great handling
- Small and tight – especially with kit lens
- Excellent viewfinder
- Slow frame rate
- Cropped 4K video

- Dust and splash protection
- Dual UHS-II card slots
- Works with Nikon F lenses via adapter
- Cropped 4K recording
- Autofocus a step behind Canon and Sony
- Meager 4.5fps continuous drive
- Z lens library still in development
- Few third-party Z lenses available
