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.

Pros: Value for money, format, stabilization, dimensions

Cons: AF on very limiting people, Cover-viewfinder

Opinion: Used socket (at half price compared to the price list) to use when I need to minimize the volume of equipment I carry with me (some travel, street photography), I love the fact that it is full-frame and stabilized at a truly unbeatable price. The dual SD slot helps and the autofocus in general seems great for the price range, even in low light (certainly do not expect performance from Z9 / Z8 or Sony). The main flaws I found are 2 and of both I do not understand the reason: 1) the Eye detect (and also the face detect) can be activated only by selecting as the focus area the largest one that holds the entire screen / viewfinder, so if it actually focuses correctly the eye everything ok, if you need to quickly focus on some other detail in the viewfinder or any occasion in which you do not want to use one of the features auto-selected by the algorithm, you have to change the focus area and move the new focus point by hand, it happens to me personally in 2 main cases: - it does not seem to me that the eye detected by the camera is in the correct position (or maybe it does not detect what I want because of the pose or accessories worn) - I have to take a series of shots in which I quickly pass from the eye to focus of the person portrayed to a detail, usually something he has in his hand For this reason I often find myself not using this feature and directly using the smallest area available 2) the viewfinder cover rubbers jumps off with disarming ease. It came to me without a viewfinder cover, I bought the official kit and 2 times out of 3 when I put it away in the backpack jumps away. I understand why I got without

Pros: Construction, image quality, price, ergonomics

Cons: Slow burst, "old" autofocus, unusable for video.

Opinion: Let's start from an assumption, if we are interested in the full frame we have to put ourselves in the head and lightness and small dimensions are difficult to have. Overcome this preconception we find ourselves in front of a PHOTO camera really with an impressive value for money. Photographically speaking, the sensor still does its dirty work, it has dynamic range and resolution combined with excellent ISO resistance. On the video side, however, we are not really there, but probably it was not even designed for that. The burst is not great and combined with the autofocus not really bright continuously (single af is fine, although not very sensitive with low light) certainly do not make it a sports camera, but for landscape, street and everything else still today I think it is more than excellent.

Pros: Robust and fast, pleasant to handle and hold for grip, stabilized FF sensor, depth and dynamic range of images, precise light meter, fantastic viewfinder and also the LCD is clear and visible, excellent battery life, 2 slots, infallible autofocus. Large Q/P ratio.

Cons: In JPG microdetail can be improved, Quick menu 'I' uncomfortable, sensor not backlit and drop in performance with low light. Very hard ignition lever, maybe it's a problem of my specimen.

Opinion: Pesantuccia and robust as soon as it is turned on it shoots immediately, very fast light meter and AF, rarely does not immediately hook the subject, just touch the key so that you easily shoot x error. On the tracking excellent at least if compared with the Fujifilm APSC that I know. I do daytime landscapes and architecture and for these things the (few) limits of the Z5 are not felt. In the landscapes he always produces three-dimensional and realistic images although sometimes a bit soft x my tastes. This is how things are in JPG while in RAW/NEF on Capture you can recover a lot of detail and this limit practically disappears. On the Z5 there is the harmful low-pass filter... But was there really a need for it? In pp the moireé (which I do not mind) is removed with a click ..... Not backlit, when the light drops you immediately go to high ISO. The NR kneads the details, better to disable it and correct in pp. The Full auto mode provides (day and night) cleaner but desaturated and cold images that look b/w. The Quick Menu ('I' key) does not help, uncomfortable and with many sublevels you have to remember to confirm OK before going out otherwise everything has to be redone. Slow burst, movies with limitations but those who take it already know, while the instruction booklet that says nothing and forces you to look for them on the Nikon site makes me angry. Improving these defects (without however undermining the Z6,7,9 etc.) would be from 10 while so the Z5 deserves 9 also for its really honest price. PS I use only the 'modest' Z24-70 f4, with the Z lenses with fixed focal length I imagine there is room for improvement in the microdetail that is a bit its weak point but I have not checked. Indeed if someone has tried on the Z5 the fixed series Z I would be curious to know the differences.

Pros: Ergonomics*, price quality, customization, ease of use, viewfinder

Cons: Ergonomics*, AF in harsh conditions

Opinion: I bought it a month ago and I used it on several different occasions, but I wanted to wait to give a complete judgment after last night, when I tested it at a party. I must say that in "normal" conditions it is a camera that absolutely did not make me regret the D750 and everything, after a few days to learn how to put your hands in the right place to set everything (not because it is difficult, but only because there is so much stuff to watch) I took many test shots: holding it in your hands is the most natural thing there can be. Why "Ergonomics" in the voices both for and against? Well, the (green) light for the AF is in a different position from the D750 and so I had to "rethink" the positioning of the left index finger, which obscured it. But switching from an AF mode (C or S) to MF is nonsense and on some occasions I have relied on the manual focus that, with a 35mm, is not even so difficult even in low light, thanks to a fantastic viewfinder, which gives some small problem only in case of total darkness, But even then it offers a legible image. Fully satisfied with the purchase, to have something more I would have had to spend about double, with a Z6II (with the BSI), but obviously we are talking about two different products. PS: for me the video sector is completely superfluous, while the burst at 4.5 fps, when the light is optimal, seems even more performing, so no limitation for my use.
