![]() | Nikon Z5 Pros: Handling and weight Cons: Autofocus, "open" and "close" lens, limited burst shooting Opinion: I started shooting digitally with a D70, then switched to D200, D300 and finally D800, owning various lenses from 16 Fisheye to 300 f/4. As my photographic needs changed, I limited my equipment, using more and more only the 24-120 f/4. I had never thought about the mirrorless world, then in 2021 I bought the Z5 with a 24-70 f/4: after a bit of initial perplexity the Z5 began to undermine the D800 and in the end a few days ago I decided, belatedly, to sell the reflex and the lens park to use the ML. Of course, it's not even comparable to the old D800, but for the photos I take it fully satisfies me. I still have to try to shoot directly in Jpeg, in RAW I find that with Camera Raw the files are well workable and it takes a little to have good photos. The menus are a bit complex, even though I come from the D800, I still can't get to grips with the U1,U2, U3 presets I already had on the P7000. The autofocus is a bit slow, then the focus point between shots is always positioned in the top left corner, making me waste time repositioning it in the center or where I had put it for the required composition, maybe it depends on the touch screen. I don't use AF C, so I don't know its accuracy but for a few attempts I've made it seems to me to be not up to par. The burst shooting at the end is the same as that of the D800, very limited but the fact remains that I don't take sports photos. Well my opinion is that of an advanced amateur photographer, perhaps a Z6 II would have been preferable but apart from the doubled ISO at the top I don't think the differences would have been at the level of the greater expense per type of use, at the time of deciding I preferred to lower the level from the D800. The lens that has to be positioned before the shot is strange to me! I would have preferred to buy the 24-120 f/4 but at the time of buying the Z5 it wasn't there yet. Now I got a 70-180 f/2.8 on Nikon Outlet to complete the kit, I don't need more. I also kept the 16mm Fisheye that I use with the FTZ fitting. I forgot: I miss a bit the built-in flash that was even on the pro D800, even if it created shadow problems with some optics or the lens hood. sent on December 05, 2023 |
