Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera with 24-200mm Lens VOK040YA review
As mirrorless cameras go the Nikon is easy to use, has a wonderful viewfinder, introduces improved autofocus features, and feels pitched to the correct kind of audience. Despite a low burst shooting speed and video capture that's outclassed by the competition, that still all adds up to what's...- Great image quality from full-frame sensor
- Huge potential from new Z mount lenses
- Electronic viewfinder is of great quality and scale
- Autofocus system adds Eye/Face/Pet detection
- Video offering much stronger from competition
- Low burst shooting speed
- Not a full vari-angle screen (it's tilt-angle only)
- Single area AF can struggle a little in lower light
Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera with 24-50mm Lens VOK040ZA review
The Nikon Z5 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck stills-oriented camera on the market. Image quality from its 24MP sensor is just tad behind class-leading and much of its design, from the build-quality to the ergonomics, is borrowed from higher-end Nikon Z models.- Just about anyone seeking a well-priced
- stills-oriented full-frame mirrorless camera.
- Video shooters
- Those wishing to capture super-fast action (in which Z5's 4.5 fps burst may not be quick enough).

Nikon Z5 review: the best value stills-oriented full-framer
The Nikon Z5 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck stills-oriented camera on the market. Image quality from its 24MP sensor is just tad behind class-leading and much of its design, from the build-quality to the ergonomics, is borrowed from higher-end Nikon Z models. Autofocus performance is also solid; reliable face and eye detect make it a great choice for documenting family/friends. Video performance is the one area the Z5 does not excel: 4K video is heavily cropped. But it does offer respectable Full HD capture with the added benefit of in-body image stabilization for hand-held shooting.- Just about anyone seeking a well-priced, stills-oriented full-frame mirrorless camera.

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera with 24-50mm Lens VOK040ZA review
The New Nikon Z5 is a very attractive option for photographers on a budget who are looking for a full-frame camera. And in combination with one of Nikon's compact and affordable lenses like the 24-50mm f/4-6.3, it makes for a very compact package that delivers big-camera results.

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera with 24-50mm Lens VOK040ZA review
Despite its struggles with dim, warm light, the occasional focusing discrepancy and the 4K videos ordeal, the Nikon Z5 is wholeheartedly recommendable. It is a good camera, and at an introductory price of Rs 1,13,995 for just the body, the Z5 makes sense as a second unit for casual photography, for...
