It\u2019s been a busy couple of years in the world of mirrorless. Nikon\u2019s first full-frame mirrorless models, the Z6<\/a> and Z7<\/a> are two years old now, and the system is expanding nicely. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Those two original models were aimed pretty squarely at enthusiasts and\/or pros, so it felt like only a matter of time before a more beginner-friendly full-frame model appeared on the scene. Enter, the Nikon Z5, a camera set to take on rivals such as the Canon EOS RP<\/a> and the Sony A7 III<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also have rumours that further entry-level models from Panasonic and Sony are about to make an appearance, so it\u2019s clearly a target market that the industry is keen to capitalise on.<\/p>\n

The Nikon Z5 uses pretty much the same external body design as the Z6\/Z7, with a couple of small, but key, differences. Internally, the specs represent a compromise because it\u2019s a cheaper camera, but it should still be appealing to a broad range of customers looking for a new.<\/p>\n

So, you get a 24.3 megapixel full-frame sensor, which sounds similar to the Z6\u2019s 24.5 megapixel sensor \u2013 but the crucial difference is that it doesn\u2019t have backside illumination, which is likely to impact low-light performance.<\/p>\n

Other specifications include a high-resolution sensor which is shared with the Z6\/Z7, 4.5fps shooting, 4K video which is subject to a heavy crop, and a tilting touch-sensitive screen.<\/p>\n
