The innovative Nikon Z5 Body Only is the perfect start to your full-frame mirrorless journey. Whatever your skill level, the Z5 delivers detailed imagery, precision autofocus and the tools you need to be as creative as possible. Built around Nikon's revolutionary Z mount this camera is compact yet powerful, simple yet sophisticated and ready to grow with you.
The Z5 features a high-performing FX-format 24.3MP full-frame sensor and the EXPEED 6 Image Processing Engine delivering outstanding image quality and speed with a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200.
On the sensor you will find an advanced phase-detect autofocus system using 273 points covering 90% of the image area, and the sensor features 5-axis Vibration Reduction technology for stabilized photos and video regardless of the lens used. This advanced hybrid AF system will also benefit video as Nikon Z5 features UHD 4K recording at up to 30p
The Z5's slimmed-down design and light build maintains the weather sealing and ergonomics for which Nikon is known. The camera features multiple displays and screens for ease of use, including a1.27-cm/0.5-in. approx. 3690k-dot (Quad VGA) OLED electronic viewfinder ensuring clear viewing. The rear of the camera is equipped with a 3.2" tilting touchscreen LCD. For storage, the Z5 has dual SD card slots that is compatible with UHS-II. Additionally, the body is equipped with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Harness the entire view of the expansive full-frame lenses and capture over 50% more image area than crop-sensor cameras. The latest generation Nikon Expeed 6 image processor delivers exceptional low light shooting capabilities with an ISO range from 100 to 51,200.
Sharpness starts with stability, and the Z5 has in-camera image stabilization systems available which are up to the task.
A 273-point hybrid AF system covers 90% (approx.) of the frame for precise focus positioning. That means wherever your subject is in the frame, there’s almost certainly a focus point locked onto your subject. Face and eye detection autofocus for human and animals is available in stills shooting for perfect portraits every time.
Smooth and reliable video focusing is available in all video modes offering additional flexibility to adjust the focus speed and sensitivity for your video masterpiece.
17% larger internal diameter than Nikon’s acclaimed F Mount. It totally changes what’s possible with lens design. Enhanced low-light performance. Even illumination from corner-to-corner. Maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95. Faster data transfer between camera and lens. This is the ideal balance between mount diameter, large image sensor and flange focal
The new Nikon Z5 records amazing video, shoot 4K UHD footage using the advantages of mirrorless technology. Adjustable focusing speed and sensitivity can be adjusted for cinematic effect. Enjoy smooth reliable autofocus in video recording with minimal to no focus breathing when using NIKKOR Z lenses.
The Z5 also supports simultaneous time-lapse movie and interval timer shooting modes, creating both a movie and separate files for post-production.
The Nikon Z5 is weather sealed again dust, moisture and dirt, including sealing around all buttons and controls for extra peace of mind.
The magnesium alloy skeleton of the Z5 provides excellent strength to weight ratio and is made of the same material as Nikon's professional DSLRs.
The Nikon Z5 includes two UHS-II SD card slots. These can be used together for overflow storage, automatic back up or file separation into raw and jpeg.
