The Nikon Z5 (sdp.io/z5) is Nikon's first mirrorless camera with 2 SD card slots! In my opinion, that makes it the first mirrorless camera really ready to take on professional work, and the first contender against the might Sony a7 III (sdp.io/a73). It has 24 megapixels, FHD @ 60 FPS or 4k @ 30 FPS with a 1.7X crop. It only shoots 4.5 frames per second, which is good enough for portraits and weddings, but probably eliminates it from all but the most casual sports and wildlife photography.
I also compare it against the Canon EOS RP (sdp.io/RP), a $900 full-frame camera that is similar in many ways but lacks the dual memory card slots. The most likely competitors are the Nikon Z6 (sdp.io/z6), which has a similar price, but is now a couple of years old and also only has a single card slot. Finally, I recommend many users consider a used Nikon D750 (about $750 at sdp.io/d750) because it offers similar image quality and dual card slots at a much lower price - but it lacks mirrorless capabilities like Nikon Z-lens support and eye-detect autofocus. - Věda a technologie
Nearly 50% of people have had SD cards fail? WTF are you guys doing to your SD cards, or what cheap cards are you buying. I've never had an SD card fail after many years shooting weddings and normal portrait shoots. Have we just had amazing luck?
Me, too. I’ve never had a SD card fail in 15 years of shooting digital.
As a studio news cameraman for many years I recommend you stop down your cameras to avoid all the miss focus. It's distracting.. After all whats the point of desk props if there going to be out of focus? The standards used in television production are that way because they work the best.
Don't you know YT photographers are obsessed with bokeh? Obsessed! lol
After using the Z5, I would put it this way Z6 / A7 III (toss up based on features you need/use) > Z5 > RP (the A7III and the Z6 I would say are similar, although the Z6 may have a slight upper hand because it is newer and probably uses a newer sensor design).
Believe or not with a Techart autofocus adapter you can use Sony e-mount lenses on Nikon z series camera bodies without loosing autofocus or focus to infinity. Of course the autofocus isn't as fast as with e-mount cameras but is good enough.
The flange focal distance of Nikon Z mount lenses is very short 16mm. Any lens designed for cameras with focal distance longer than 16mm, can be used with adapter on Nikon Z mount camera bodies.
That is an important advantage of Z mount cameras that is rarely brought to light.
What adapter are you referring to?
I was considering an a7iii/a7iv, or XT4 from Fuji, but I'm seriously looking at the Z5 because I like the images it produces and it fits my budget.
It's good to see Tony happy finally
Why was he unhappy before?
Alorand he had a bokeh addiction
10:45 The Z6 doesn't have a SD card slot. Instead it has a XQD-card slot. XQD is way faster than SD and has less failures.
Yes, I noticed Tony had the Z6 with 1xSD on his chart (by mistake). Good you noticed it as well.
Yes a real design failure by Nikon not putting 2 card slots in the Z6
@@keith4047 agree its why i didnt buy a Z6 the XQD cards are very expensive ie 3 to 4 times the cost which for none video work is not required
@Strawberry Kiys have you got a scientific research paper link to back this up?
XQD / CFExrpress has much faster error checking and write checking redundancies built in compared to SD. Speed & Heat is dictated by the interface's bandwidth with XQD having a much broader data pipe so more can be written to more locations simultaneously resulting in a faster speed (think mulit-lane highway vs 2 laned road). Packed transistors is more a matter of storage capacity vs card size. There's also secondary characteristics to consider like the heat dissipation of the card materials and the ruggedness to things like torsion and crush resistance.
It will be bought by wedding photographers because it has 2 SD cards. No other spec matters.
Been shooting architecture and interiors professionally for about 8 years now, using a D7000 if you can believe it. I've learned to take that camera to it's limits and it produces the most wonderful velvety texture if that makes sense. I plan on upgrading and was considering the Z50 since I've had great success already with an APS-C camera. Now the Z5 is here, I hope they have a bundle with the adapter to make it more affordable up here in Canada. BTW... read a rumour that Nikon came out with the Z mount so that they could launch a medium format camera too? Great videos, I watch them all :)
I moved over to Sony A6500, but still have my Nkon D4 for stills, so hoping for a Nikon I could use my old lenses with. I also like the old Nikon controls best. Good review, thanks.
My favorite part was the breaking news part. This video was very informative and I greatly appreciate you Tony and Chelsea for this kind of content!
Why do you say that a smartphone is anywhere near the quality of a camera? My 11pro comes nowhere near my A7riii in anyway.
he's wrong on this point :(
Agreed. All the phones I've tried produce pretty bad photos in print or on a screen other than the phones
he's talking about very specific phones tho
@@Dm3qXY honestly I don't see any phone coming close to a full frame sensor
@@adrianfaulkner1353 you're generalizing his point. He doesn't say all dslrs and all phones. He doesn't say every single characteristic of image quality. You're fighting against a point he never made
Once i got Z6 in my hands, i put my D750 as backup. It's better overall. As far as focusing, keepers rate is higher. Usability in different scenarios by using that fast "live view" mode or using long shutter speed is awesome. The only things i can say that i miss is the better grip on the D750 and low light autofocus assist beam (the green one on the body is not good enough). Bottom line, either way as still shooter you can make awesome stuff with both of them. If you have D750, i think is better to stay with it; Z5 is awesome, but you will get much more if you go one tier higher, and if you are coming from entry level dslr or mid range, Z5 is very good purchase.
Error at 10:12, Nikon Z 6 has 1 x XQD/CFexpress card slot NOT SD...
whats the used of cf express if you are not a sports photographer.😅
@@ancogbernard Ah, that's a different discussion :-) I was pointing out that Tony had originally incorrectly presented the Z6 as having one SD card slot, which is factually incorrect. Not sure if Tony has since corrected that.
Finally got the Z5 with that tiny little kit lens. My first ever foray into full frames, jumping from that entry level APS-C Canon I've been using for years.....so far I have been astonished with the quality of the photos, especially so as this is the quality from a kit lens, not even from an 'S' lens. With IBIS and weather proofing and practically the same magnesium build and button layout without skimping on any single button from the Z6/7, this camera is a bargain!
Cheers from India!
Guys you´re getting it wrong.....the real deal of this camera is: in a matter of months it will be $1200 body with the adapter... then this camera is the biggest win of the year
Name ONE adapter that doesn't negatively affect focus. ONE. It's a tempting idea, to re-use legacy glass, but it's very hard to dial in lenses designed for mirror on mirrorless body. Remember we talking millisecond realm. Extra contact points and processing does affect performance no matter sales pitch.
@@geeeee8268 ... what extra processing? There isn't any for Canon to Canon adapters, it is merely a physical connection, there is no extra chip inside. For adapters that need to translate between protocols are a different story, but the same brand models all seem to speak the same language as the lens.
@@zvxcvxcz Oh so you really believe that 20 y.o. 24-70 F2.8 speaks "same language" as 2020 24-50? cool...
@@geeeee8268 if it's a native first party adapter it really doesn't matter. The issue isn't the extra "contact points and processing" electrical signals are fast and modern processors are faster/better than whatever those lenses were designed for to begin with.
Anywhom, back to the OP... $1200 for this camera still feels overpriced. Why wouldn't someone just buy the $900 Canon RP?
BROis because they have $4k in Nikon lenses... also, first party adapters don’t do any translation as they already speak the same language, in fact, they actually speak it way faster as well. The limit will be the old lenses AF speed and accuracy, not the camera and adapter. Everyone remembers their bad experience with crap adapters on Sony bodies with third party lenses which is a totally different case.
The Z5 is a good jump into the Z-line, and a move to full frame. The Z6 is probably going to be replaced with the Z6s, and then the lineup will make more sense. The Z5 is for folks (like me) who want to move up, and into the Z line of lenses.
We have a z6 and a z50. We bought the z50 for the flip down screen to make vlogging easier, and its super light to carry around (we go to themeparks and stuff a lot). The z5 is going to be awesome for sure, and a great entry into full frame mirrorless
Paul Jones yeah I think they messed up not including IBIS for sure since all the other z lenses have no image stabilization. We love the camera - it fits our needs but I do think you’re right about the price point.
I will upgrade my D750 with Z5 for IBIS and electronic viewfinder and ergonomics + 2 card slots for me its enough feature to move on and all my 35,58,85 would have IS now Wow.
@@PunjabiGymBeats not sure whether its an upgrade though...I have the 750 and am considering Sony because the results in movie and stills look sharper, autofocus and other things are better...better future...only wish for the flip out screen on the A73
Can i asked if you was using a different camera in this video as the autofocus when you switch to a close up shot mis-focused constantly are you using the contrast detection 4k mode in the EOS RP or another camera? as that doesn't look like DPAF
great summary, delivered with your usual aplomb, informative and concise, well done.
People seem to be stuck on video specs. If this is the Mirrorless D750 it will be awesome for couples and engagement and weddings.
Mirrorless D750 is the D780
Mike Cunningham He said MIRRORLESS!
Mike Cunningham lol no, it’s the z6 or the z5.
@@0741921 Go shoot a once in lifetime event with one sd card and tell me how you feel doing it... it takes your mind out of the job. I can't do it
eSCAPE false. The d750 seem to share the same sensor. Z6 sensor is backside illuminated. Z5 and d750 are not
For reference, Canon's Clear View II in the 5D Mk II, 7D, and 1D Mark IV had 920,000 dots or precisely VGA resolution, almost 10 years ago.
Thanks for the video, would you be able to advise between a7r ii and nikon z5/6? Which one is good for still photography. They are of same range. The latest upgrade is costly so looking from above mention two items.
The Canon autofocus you love so much was failing nonstop during this video. ;)
Is that what he uses in the side camera?
@@cammac66 All the cameras in the studio are Canon RP
:( kept noticing it too, way too many times 😣 guess I got spoiled with a6600
@@mirrorlessny Even the Z50 does a lot better!
Why he is using af on a locked off shot is anyone's guess.
I'm going to keep my d750 and I'm going to get the d850 just for the touch screen and extra megapixel and 4k
Same
It feels like we’re getting all of these retro lenses with the weird focal lengths haha
Before 24-70mm was practical to produce there were a few 24-50mm zooms. They were kinda like the ultrawide zooms of the day while standard zooms typically started at 35mm and now Tamron has that range covered too with the 35-150mm.
My Z7 blows me away with its amazing quality every time I use it. I'm glad they have a cheaper Z system camera which is more affordable, and allows people to experience the new lenses. They're probably not making a fuss because they're sick of everyone whining about everything they do. If I'd listen to all the criticism, I wouldn't own the Z7, which I absolutely love. My poor old D4 just sits on the shelf now.
buy what you like. they all take good picture nowadays.
@@ayayoutuber Exactly, pretty much every single major camera manufacturer produces amazing cameras!
I love my z6 for the past 14 months. Xqd is blazing fast. I will wait and grab another z6 for cheap
Love my Z7. It's a superb camera and the XQD is very reliable when compared to SD cards.
@@joshuameadows4165 Yeah, had one in my D4 for 5+ years and it never failed. I never bothered using the second slot for a backup in the D4, so it was no big deal for me that the Z7 only had one XQD. As you say, very reliable especially if you take good care of them.
Great video, exact info I needed to compare. Still haven't decided what system to go with (trying to upgrade from m4/3), but this really helped! Thx
If you guys could arrange a test for nikon's adapter and focusing with first and third party f mount lenses that would be great. The efficiency of using that adapter with existing glass is probably a big factor for a lot of people.
Thanks for this video..I'm thinking of upgrading from my beloved D750 and was looking at this and the Z6...any preference?
Hi Tony, I’ve got the Canon Eos R and still do love it, and I am thinking about to buy the Atomos Ninja V! Would be nice if you can compare the Canon Eos R+Ninja V to the Canon R6 and maybe Canon R5. The difference and benefits? ✨
The camera shooting the second closer angle was really struggling with focusing.
I enjoy playing the long game with bodies. My goal for 2020 is to get my hands on the lumix s1. If I find myself needing a back up camera I think the z5 would be a wonderful option. My question is how deep is the buffer? Low frame rate is okay as long as you don’t out run the buffer.
No known camera has the dynamic range necessary to deal with Tony's teeth... Well the A7S3 entered the room. Maybe it can.
hahhahaha
Tony's teeth remind me of the Friends episode when Ross over whitens his teeth.
Yes, the teeth are odd
I don't know why i never noticed that. Damn! Kinda does remind me of Ross!😂
@@TheRemnantOfAnEraLongGone these teeth are frightening to small children
Do you shoot the close ups at f1.4? During close ups, you keep going in and out of focus.
Thats Canon for you. LOL!!!
@@jamalpurvis Yes, that's Canon, Fuji, Sony and everyone else. They all have their moments of drifting in and out of focus. The EOS R is much better than the RP in this regard and the new R5 is way ahead of both.
Ignore Jamal Purvis, he's anti-Canon. All AF systems are prone to doing this from time-to-time. He wasn't honest enough to just say that.
@@cooloox I have seen Tony have this in almost all his videos. I think the problem isn't the camera, I think he sets his f stop too low so he is moving around and keeping a super shallow depth of field. He has said it looks more professional but I don't see how it look pro of he is going in and out of focus. He needs to set it to f/2.8 or f/4 if he is going to be that close to the camera.
@@kunalmj it would help if he moved his table and monitor away from the wall too
You said most people will be disappointed with the 24-50 range and I agree, it's also slow but I'm one that'll enjoy the lens. I currently use a FM3A with Nikkor 28-50 f/3.5 that I'm very happy with and I'm hopeful I can use it with a new Z5 or Z6II, I'm trying to decide which one to get.
I just upgraded to the Nikon Z50 from a D5600. I am SO happy with it. Perfect size, good user interface, light lenses and excellent video and AF. I was afraid that the slow lenses would be an issue but the camera performs really good in low light. I honestly think it must be one of the best cameras in its class right now.
I have the d5600 and thinking about the same move. Do you used the ftz adapter? How is it with your Z50?
The d750 has a non-BSI sensor so I expect the Z5 will produce equally glorious IQ assuming the on - chip AF doesn't interfere too much. I'm looking forward to seeing a Z 70 200 F4
Yes, they need to release a Z 70-200 F4 asap.
There’s no such lens on their roadmap, but maybe the 100-400 will be an f4.
Hey Tony may I wait for Sony a7IV? I can patiently wait another 6-8 month :)
And a few thousand dollars price difference.
16:16 in is the point for me. I loved my RPs but I basically wanted an RP with dual card slots (to provide safety for wedding shoots). I couldn't get it from Canon, but Nikon supplied it, so I preordered two. I wasn't about to spend 1500 more than my RP's to get dual slots and lose resolution so I've ordered a pair of these for now. I could stomach the 400 extra for now.
Tony please answer the questions please.!!.
Which is a better camera to buy for portraits and family shoot-
Sony a7iii or Nikon z5?
Confused in between what to buy 🥺, please do recommend
Tony everything you said was expected , but when you compared the the Z5 with the D750 you got my attention that was a job well done . I have a D750 from day one and used it almost everyday it was built like a tank , the image quality is so great , still though i wanna move to mirroless body .
I had high hopes on the Z5 but am disappointed with the burst mode speed . not to mention the the Z lenses are still expensive and not as good as F mounts.
I think this camera might just be what I waited for, but I'd really love to see the real world reviews. I currently have a D810 and a D750 and even though I love the 810, buying the D750 has changed my game a lot. I bought it as a second body for weddings only to realize I use it more and more and weeks have passed without taking the 810 with me (I do use it on weddings ofc). :) I'd love to have the Z5, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy another D750 too before moving to Z5 and I'll keep my trusty D810 for landscapes and studio work. :)
Why do you find yourself using the D750 more? The lighter weight?
@@Ashton351 750 captures details better in the shadow/dark areas with significantly less noise (might be my own experience though) which works well with my portraiture style. D810 on the other hand is better with highlights and light areas. I had photos seemingly blown out completely that I was able to save and deliver to my clients. A large sum of my work comes from outdoor portraits, maternity or family sessions, so D750 used mainly with primes or sometimes fixed aperture zooms works very well for me. 🙂
I don't see an issue with the table at all. I did't noticed it until I read the "breaking news". I was focused at the subject with Nikon! Thanks for sharing this, Tony!
II bought this camera which was on sale for $999 to get into the full frame market. Have two Z lens primes f1.8 50mm and f1.8 85mm . Kit lens 24-50mm f4-6.3 VR and the 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR. Love the feel in the hands plus using one had to do all operations needed for pics. Two card slots and price for me. Found out that there is a toggle button on the left side of the viewfinder that can turn off the back LCD screen or the EVF or both on. All of the videos that I have watched about this camera did not show this. They did show on the other side of the EVF for people who wear eye glasses can make the EVF screen smaller.
Also compared the Z5 to the Lumix S5 but price and better focus breathing/Auto Focusing is why I chose the Z5. I wanted a camera that wasn't small in my hands.
Remember guys that the biggest market for this camera is existing Nikon DSLR users that might be looking to try mirrorless. They are already heavily invested in the Nikon system with Nikon F lenses (FF or APSC) and are used to Nikon ergonomics. They might be a pro looking for a second / backup body. They aren’t even interested in changing systems, thus aren’t even looking at Sony or Canon. PS... this is a HUGE market!
@@Dstinct A Tamron rep confirmed that they are working on lenses for the Z mount and RF mount so we could be looking at options in 2021 for both Nikon and Canon.
If I'm shooting Nikon and looking for a mirrorless body, I'm getting the Z6. All around better performance for just a couple hundred bucks more, but wait, there's an adapter included so I can use all my F glass too. That adapter alone costs about a hundred bucks so if you get the Z5 and add the adapter, the diff is just a hundred bucks. And when you consider this is just a 2nd body, is a second card slot really that important? Hell, no!!!
Then they should include the FTZ with that $1400 price point. Z5+FTZ $1650 VS Z6+FTZ (with XQD and other goodies from B&H) $1850. Heck you can even get the Sony A7II for about $900
I understand its not fair to compare launch price with street price, but still. Z5+FTZ for 1650.....hmmmmmmmmmm. If I want to switch soon, then I don't think Z5 makes much sense.
@@AlanHoey86 That's good to hear!
@@s87343jim Yes that's the only problem for me, too & that is the most terrible thing Nikon did to this camera. I will get Z5 as soon as I am able to buy it at 100000 INR(Just under 1400$) or slightly less with FTZ bundle.
Thanks for the video! In your opinion - which camera would you recommend for youth action sports? (Without breaking the bank.) TIA
The video autofocus wanders in and out of focus !!
Just showin' off the 1.4...
Strawberry Kiys it is terrible ... and he did a video on how good the Canon is for this very purpose. Does he not review his own videos on a 4K monitor? It simply does not work for the purpose he is advocating. Plenty of other CZcamsrs have setups that work.
@@itsacookie1 don't think $1700 xt-4 would hunt so much, a6600 + 56mm 1.4 Sigma would of done a better AF job than RP
@Strawberry Kiys The focus was terrible with the Canon RP.
Really bad. Switch to Nikon Z. Doesnt hunt like that.
good video, thanks
what's with the cam2 hunting and going out of focus? you changed from the Canon RP?
Where can you get the z6 for $1680 new with the adapter?
Tony are you using a Nikon Z5 for your b cam? It seems to keep wandering focus.
I'm happy with my D750... really wish the D780 was a true hybrid i.e. had somekind of clever EVF & OVF solution but... failing that Nikon really could do with releasing a F mount adapter that can also support screw drive (D) lenses - the nikon 135mm DC is my main headshot lens and it's one where the AF accuracy is a bit hit and miss so it could benefit from contrast detect focusing but it's not properly supported with the current adapter
I’m still shooting with the d4s the thing is a tank, awesome low light, okay video and it’s so so cheap
Good for you and me.
I shoot with Nikon D4. The flexibility it gives me in my editing usually makes my clients think I'm using the newest most expensive most capable camera in existence!
For a great full frame budget camera the Nikon Z5 is hard to beat considering the many features you get including 5 axis stabilization. This is a great camera for the price. Image quality of z5 is great on Dpreview photo samples. If someone gets a 5 inch monitor than z5 is fine for vlogging and content creation.
One point to also consider for 4K with Z5, is the work around for 4K and wide angle. Just use you DX lenses such as DX 10-20mm or Z 16-50mm or DX 16-85mm and you should get close equivalent to full wide of the DX area. The pixel read is about 1:1in DX. I read this online in forums, "correct me if I am wrong" but this makes sense to me, so that means 4K is usuable in DX crop mode with wide angle adapted DX lenses. (4K would be somewhat similar to using a "apsc camera" with full wide available in this area of sensor.) Z5 is still available at great prices. The 4K crop of Z5 is 1.7x, while DX crop from FF, is 1.5x so it is very close. Z5 camera is also recommended for use with Zhiyun Crane M3 Gimbal.
Tony when you publish these videos on YOU-Tube is it 4K? Because if it is not it is just fine? One good point you mentioned about mirror less cameras which I know because I use the Fujifilm XT3 is when you look through the viewfinder is like looking at a screen. This point here is why I prefer DSLR cameras. I held back on the Nikon D-850 because of not having either two SD cards or like the D-810 that I have not having compact flash. I hate when manufacturers change two much when they upgrade a body. But the D-850 is also a faster and well tried DSLR isn't it? Only the weight seems what differs but then all the new Z mounts have quite hefty lenses that equals the weight right?
Excuse me I'm curious
What is the camera model you used in shooting this video ?
Hi.
Do you recommend the Nikon Z5 for night photography?
Having both the RP and the M5 (flippy v tilty screen) I find the tilty screen limiting and I pretty much never shoot video!!!
As always, a very good and informative video. Being a Canon shooter, I will not switch to this one but I like the competition.
One technical question on the video: Which camera had been used to film the close-ups of Tony? It seems like there are occasionally blurry moments in there where the camera does not seem to get the focus just right.
I'm holding out at least til they announce the Z6s and Z7s specs and price.
Yeah 1 more month hopefully!
Hey Tony, is that a lock button on the mode dial or is it an extra function button? Thank you.
Z5 is my first full frame and I don't regret it. The stills quality is amazing, and I never do 4k anyway. I really like 1080p 30 fps
When he's talking about having a camera that has two SD card slots, is he saying that the camera will save the photos you take to both SD cards? Like it's saving 2 copies of each shot in case one card fails? I thought that the 2nd card was there in case you fill up the first card, then the camera just starts using the second card to save your shots. Can someone clarify? Thank you!
Hi Tony. You mentioned the advantage of the lighter mirrorless lenses. Can you double check? I own an S lens prime and an S lens zoom. They are heavier than their F mount Nikon equivalents.
Also, I think Nikon has to watch their pennies and they are probably saving marketing money for their future higher end cameras.
Can you make one of those in depth technical videos where you explain why BSI sensor is better and how it works?
TLDR; Standard sensors have wiring on top blocking some light. BSI sensors are flipped so wiring on bottom side no light blockage.
I am quite shocked they didn't try to make a 24-85mm kit lens for this camera as they did for the DSLR version.
Which camera you shooting ?
It's constantly hunting focus
I'm looking for z6 mark 2 with 2 slots, better focussing, flippy screen and 4k 60
At 3:49, you might want to check your camera settings, it lost focus multiple times there.
Great video content! What camera did you use to shoot this video? It looks geat!
How's your math? 640x480 is less than a third of 1 million dots. 1280x720 would come closer, but still falls a little short of 1 million.
Oh my god I cant believe it, ive never been this far away
from home.
Great rulers make for greater glory
The only thing growing is our history
How many are not happy with their current brand ? I would think by now the switching wars were over
So far I’ve owned Canon,Nikon,Sony & fujifilm. I could use them all with no problem but they all seemed to have something that bugged me. With canon it was the oversimplification of the menus Nikon was good but didn’t have and evf at the time. Sony was a good fit until the shutter broke after a year and a half. Fujifilm had by far the worst ergonomics and user experience in high pressure situations.(photojournalism) I’m looking forward to the z5 but I’m planning on buying the lumix s1 first.
@@akivabernstein4723 Wow! I am still on the A7s OG. These new cameras have a lot, too much. With so many features a bit of your soul gets lost, it's a never ending quest I feel. There is something about having to use the imagination to overcome the cameras limitations
@@akivabernstein4723 Agree on Fuji ergos, really bad
I'm looking forward to a image quality test between z6 and z5 and also low light performance due to absence of BSI.
I've another question: what's the future of XQD card? No new cameras are using it. Can CF Express card be used in z6/z7? What's the percentage of XQD card failure? They may be more reliable than SD cards, but not infallible.
snehasis pal it’s still going to be better than Canon’s sensors or the same as as Canon’s best sensor.
Well golly gee whiz, what do you think the quality of the Sony 50 1.8 is for 250 ? I’m sure the Nikon is better.
D750 has auto eye focussing feature over OVF. Together with d810 (and probably d850) they are the only cameras having this option. It is not like a7iii but does the job %60-%70 of the time
Looking at what it can do I would go for the z6 if you have the money and if your trying to be cost savings get the z50 for the time being and save for a z6 it jus didn't feel worth it to me what your thoughts????
Do you consider the DX0mark results when drawing conclusions about the Nikon Z5?
For potrait photography78%
For street photography excellente..97.0
For sports 76.o
For dailly 94.0 excellent
For landscape 51.0
I had a chance to try the Z5, I love the handling of the camera and it seems very well made. However as a Sony a7iii user the autofocus isn't as good. Also you have better lens choices with Sony. I have the Samyang 45mm f1.8 as an example. Very very sharp and well priced, the Sony 85mm f1.8 is also great and not expensive. By the way I'm not a Sony fan boy , I used to shoot Nikon DSLR cameras, but fell in love with mirrorless after using Olympus cameras.
Gud day thanks for d video, you made a video showing the R5 vs RP video quality could you give me the name or link please thanks.
I am keeping my D750 as a work horse that just gets the job done for photos. However I would pick a Z6 over a Z5 anyday as a second camera or for video. 4K for full width and higher fps, bsi sensor makes a z6 a better choice ... for me anyway. Nice that Nikon has a lower priced FF camera for enthusiasts anyway.
I have a D750 and D500 that I continue to like. They do the job I bought them for. But it's hard not to get excited about these cameras. I don't really need one. But. I'm going to be really interested in seeing what the Z6s autofocus is like.
@@Smoothblue90 Agreed. It would be interesting what Z6s brings to the table on new features. Likely 2 card slots for one.
The problem is the lenses. Nikon used to be the enthusiast camera per excellence. The 1.8 G lenses were equal or better to anything in the price range. You could build a pretty good system with new lenses at a nice price, or you can build a super cheap system using D glass and a used body. Nikon prices for the S lenses with no stabilization are far off. Nikon can't compete for long with the top of the lines Sony and Canon Machines, I don't know if they have the capital to do it in the future. Fix the glass or help Tamron or Sigma introduce lenses for the platform. Sony was smart in that sense. I am not talking about 200$ but 500$. One option will keep the lens prices but sale a set of primes: 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm all for 1500$
I'd go with the Z5 since I'd take the saving and the two card slots. The whole video thing doesn't really float my boat so the Z6 would be wasted on me.
@@adrianvanleeuwen hopefully lesson learned, all cameras at these prices must have 2 card slots
What's the failure rate for XQD cards? They were supposed to be far more bullet-proof than SD cards, not to mention faster.
Saying something doesn't have 4k because of a crop needs to stop. For what it is, for the price, it shoots 4k man. People that pay this price shouldn't have to look at gear as useless because of a or b. 4k is 4k.
But its really annoying when u have to recompose a shot when u switch to 4k.....or even switch a lens for the same purpose....nikon is clearly not pushing their video side which is quite shameful
Tony. Have been waiting for the Nikon Z5 release to compare against the Canon EOS RP w/ 35 mm prime lens. And thanks to all the if's and but's, the Canon appears to be the winner for my needs. Many thanks.
We need a cheap compact medium format camera. Something like sony a7 IV with medium format sensor and a open lens mount system, like the E mount for medium format.
It's funny but I think that with these specs this is actually a camera that doesn't really need two cards. It seems like a solid affordable student camera or for a wanna be fashion or street photographer.
Even they don’t want to lose their saved images. Imagine that….
Sounds like a d750. They should use that sensor because it’s great in lowlight. Now my gripe is that Nikon is waiting to see what canon does and copy. What’s with the lack of a screen on top I like to look down at that and make changes when I’m working.
From what I've heard, it's a D750 Sensor. It's essentially like the D750 and the Z6 had a baby, and you get a little bit from each. Like the EVF and LCD are the same on the Z6, the IBIS is the same as the z6, the shutter speed is the same as the z6, same ergonomics and weather sealing. But then you get the sensor and 2 card slots from the D750. It'll have great dynamic range if it's the d750 sensor, take great shots, and once it's on sale with the ftz adapter, it'll be a perfect camera to pick up. No company will ever beat sony with their AF, so there's no even really a point in comparing them to it.
(A) Does z5 gets a crop at 24/25fps in 4K mode? (B). Is there N Log in z5?
What is the rate of failure with xqd card?
Here in England it costs £1719 with the kit lens and the A73 is £1699 on sale or £1549 body only, The RP is £1200 body only for reference
WIth the severe crop, and lack luster burst, and no 120fps I don't think it measures up with the huge UK price tag
These are stills cameras. Most people don't care about the video crop (which the RP also has) or the slow motion shooting. The ergonomics, menus and usability of the Nikons is infinitely better than the Sonys. That counts for a lot more in real world use.
@@youknowwho9247 it still has a slow stills FPS which makes it lacking for sports or wildlife and I think the Sony still has better AF and eye AF implementation. I just don't think it holds up against the RP or A73 and ergonomics/ease of use etc are entirely subjective
Also the whole *it's a stills camera* thing doesn't mean it has to have a crap video mode, especially when it's no cheaper than the other cameras , if it was £1000 then I'd agree but there are plenty of budget / first time shooters who would want both functions, I also think the kit lens is pretty mediocre (I mean they are for all the FF cameras which is a shame)
@@shadowpandapc This is obviously not meant to compete directly with the a7 III in the jack of all trades segment. Being priced at 1400 on release puts it 600 below the Sony on release. Once the price for the Z5 comes down it'll likely be a sub $1000 entry level full frame option. As such, it's expected to not be well suited for sports and action shooting.
Seems to me like they're aiming for the casual hobbyist travel shooter with this model, especially given the tiny kit lens. For that audience I can see this being more popular than the Sony.
Yes but if you saw what I said about UK pricing you can see it's no cheaper here than the current A73 and it's a lot more than the RP
So it's *value* is severely demolished when I can get an A73 for the same price
Comparing it to the price at launch is irrelevant you have to see where if fits into the market right now to a buyer
If it comes down to £1000 I'd 100% agree but I don't see it happening myself, that's a big drop and if they want to reclaim market share price at launch should have been their smoking gun
@@shadowpandapc You've missed my point. I wasn't arguing that it's good value now, I was pointing to the fact that cameras, particularly Nikon's recent models, tend to drop in price quickly after launch. So yes, at the current 1400 bucks it's not a great deal. But at 1000ish it will be.
I heard the crop is 1.07x , not 1.7x .... anyone can clarify this ?
You're probably confusing the Canon R6 (1.07x) with the Nikon (1.7x) crop at 4K.
Subscribed. I Enjoy your video very much. Thanks. got z50 and i am very happy with it also beacuse I am a new youtuber and need my second camera for my cooking videos. I enjoy reading comment and its help alot to understand more. Honestly i need advices what to buy...
Guys, Can anyone suggest which is better? Nikon Z5 or Sony A6600?
Mainly I'm using this for personal photoshoots, street photography, Portraits.
Hi, can you kindly make a video about the differences of using native Z-mount lenses on Nikon Z5/6/7 series over F-mount lenses by using FTZ adapter, otherwise I would be so thankful if you could send me some reliable resources or articles to study. Regards, Ali
What were they thinking with that 24-50 lens?! Surely for a kit lens you need to at least go to 70?!
I’d absolutely love a 24-50mm if it had a constant f2 aperture - gets 24, 35 and 50mm all in one at f2. That would be a wedding photographer’s dream IMO. Imagine that on one body and a nice portrait lens on the second body! Why has no other camera company looked at something like that? Canon has shown it’s definitely do-able with their 28-70 f2.
They already have a 24-70mm f4 and f2.8 for the system.
They always said mirrorless lenses should be smaller but the only way they've made them smaller is by giving them smaller apertures. The 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 was the kit lens but now 24-50mm f4-6.3 is the new choice but with a reduction in focal length and aperture have they actually made any difference?!
where is the Fuji XT4 stand compare to theses, other than its a APS-C ?
Hi Tony. Nope, I'm waiting to see if the upcoming Z7S has any image quality advantages over the existing Z7. If not, I'm looking to trade in my nice Fuji X-T3 for the Z7 (only because I print very large.) Thanks, and be safe!
Did you just spill your milk or something?
I shoot with Sony, and I'm very happy continuing to use my A7Rm3 and my FE 90mm F2.8, which is fantastic.
Well, I had case where both the SD cards failed in a D750! And that was the only time SD card failed for me. Lost some good sunrise shots of Iceland. From that time I started backing up my photos every night in 2 separate external SSDs.
Thank you for translating dots to resolution
He made it wrong )) 640 * 480 = 300k dots - not an 1m dots - it seems to be 1280 * 800, and 3.6m EVF is equal to 2560 * 1440 resolution
