Pros: Quiet, fairly lightweight, dual SD slots, value for money, battery, image quality, size.

Cons: AFC a bit slow, burst shooting at 4.5 fps, low light focusing, maybe a slightly worse screen.

Opinion: I was deciding between Nikon, Sony and Canon to buy an FF camera, and I also looked at the price of the lenses. After a year of use, I am happy with the choice of camera and lenses. It has a solid construction and is easy to handle once you get the hang of the functions. The batteries are very powerful. It has an excellent dynamic range and resistance to high ISO. The colors are simply very vivid and clear. I am slightly bothered by the shadows in some of the shots that I solve in post-production. The perfect camera for those who want an FF. Like all cameras, it also has the shortcomings that I have already listed above. In terms of price and performance, it is better than the competition in the same range, so it is definitely a good choice. Only the Nikon Z lenses are slightly more expensive, but of course they are very good.

Pros: Lightweight, Fullframe sensor handling.

Cons: Af poor AF-c dancer, no physical key Af/Mf

Opinion: It's my first FF mirrorless, I come from a glorious D700, unbeatable for quality. It was a choice to simplify life, much lighter much simpler. Sometimes certain choices disappoint in the long run. I have always had problems with the autofocus which is not as stable and immediate as the D700. For the rest, the files are beautiful and well workable. Very comfortable for its lightness, after a few years I found the solution to make it more ready to shoot. Decent machine. But it makes you regret the D700

Pros: Image quality, full-frame sensor, dual SD card slots, weight and ergonomics, electronic viewfinder with 3.69 million dots and 100% coverage, high ISO capability, intuitive key placement

Cons: No consideration of price/performance ratio

Opinion: The Nikon Z5 is an all-rounder camera dedicated mainly to photography; video shooting is secondary. I have been in possession of it for two years when it was given to me for my birthday and it surprised me a lot as I already had the Z6II. The first thought was to give it back to a dealer and exchange it for some lens but I immediately changed my mind as soon as I had to test it. The parent company - at the time - presented it as 'Entry Level' but, trying it, you immediately realize that it has something more than the "basic" models, designed for beginners: it has a double slot for memory cards, the ability to shoot 4K videos, it has a high-resolution electronic viewfinder that returns clear images, in-camera stabilizer and is sealed against dust and humidity as well as other several features taken directly from its older sister Z6. The Z5's 24.3MP sensor has almost the same resolution as the Z6's (from 24.5MP)The 0.2MP difference results in 6,016×4,016-pixel images for the Z5, compared to 6,048×4,024 for the Z6. However, photos from the two cameras can be printed at the same resolution or cropped without the slightest difference. Having evaluated everything, I kept it as a second body alongside the Z6II and I use it alternating it indifferently with the latter. Ultimately, I'm more than happy with it and, probably, if the Nikon Z5II comes out, I could consider replacing it to have an updated camera body.

Pros: Image quality, size, dynamic range, very effective stabilization, design (but this is subjective), dual SD slots, value for money, battery.

Cons: Non-BSI sensor, sometimes shaky and uncertain autofocus with low light, very slow burst, video compartment (which I don't use anyway), lack of superior display.

Opinion: It's my first FF camera, I've been using it for a few months and I must say that I'm very satisfied with the purchase: the sensor does its job very well with an excellent dynamic range and resistance to high ISO even without being back-illuminated, up to iso 6400 the files are completely usable and workable, losing a little more detail only in the shadows. The construction is solid and with good ergonomics, heavy enough, big enough. The only aspects that I would describe as real defects are: 1) the tendency of the autofocus to be slow, wobbly and sometimes uncertain when the light is low 2) a burst that is certainly not lightning fast. The video sector seems not to be up to the times, but it doesn't matter to me as I don't use it. The stabilizer works really very well, used with Nikkor Z lenses it works at its best and allows you to really gain 4 or 5 stops. In short, in my opinion it is a perfect camera for those who want to enter the FF world, suitable for the advanced amateur photographer let's say, which allows you to take excellent photos in almost all areas excluding perhaps only action and sports photos; I paired it with the 24-120 f/4 S and the 50 f/1.8 S, both of which are great lenses for me and cover everything I need at the moment. Definitely recommended, although not for professionals.

Pros: Price/Quality, Weight & Size Stabilization

Cons: Slow autofocus sometimes inaccurate, lens cover cap

Opinion: It's definitely not a top-of-the-range body, but overall quality price remains an interesting product. If you don't have any special needs, I recommend it. We have a stabilized camera body with FF sensor, a double slot that is always handy. Large and bright LCD menu well clear. Good dynamic range, with good resolution resistance to high iso. I would exclude it for sports photography, very slow AF and fatigue, slow burst, but for everything else it is very valid.
