Pros: Amazing Autofocus, great camera body, nice sensor.

Cons: Maybe the viewfinder. It is not so easy to determine whether you are overexposing or not. I liked the Z6 II viewfinder more.

Opinion: A year ago, I bought the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S during the Nikon Winter Sale. I wanted to use the lens to photograph my young dog playing. On paper, it should have worked with the Nikon Z6 II, but in reality, it was completely different. So I bought the Nikon Z5 II, and it worked. The Nikon Z5 II is a great camera. You can do a lot with it, but it's also a "gateway drug." And because everything works so well, you start wanting more. More megapixels, higher burst speeds... and suddenly you're thinking about a Z8 or Z9. And even if you stay brave, you'll still spend your money on the good lenses—after all, you were already thinking about a Z9. A good thing for Nikon. And for me? We'll see what kind of photos I'll take.

Pros: File quality, high ISO maintenance, autofocus, IBIS

Cons: The battery compartment flap.

Opinion: I've been using it for 10 months now, intensively. I returned to Nikon, my first analog love, after many years and it was immediately, again, love. I won't dwell on the technical details, now for an amateur photographer if he doesn't have special needs all cameras are fine. However, I highlight the speed and precision of the autofocus that locks on to the eye practically even in the dark and does not let it go. Sturdy in everything except in the battery compartment door which came off two/three times when I opened and closed it (since then I've been very careful about it). With original lenses, I have the 85 1.8 S, it is perfect, as well with Tamron lenses which allows you to have quality without having to break the bank. It also performs very well with a very Chinese Meike 35 F2. If you use, like me, third-party lenses, be careful not to do firmware updates with these mounted, keep a Nikon because various malfunctions have been reported. I highly recommend it, now you get official new about 1600 euros and you have a camera complete with everything, robust and with perfect autofocus.

Pros: Excellent performance at high ISO and very high performance AF

Cons: None obvious considering the price range.

Opinion: Purchased in December as a second body, I own a Z 8, I oriented myself towards this model because I wanted a solid high ISO performance. Precisely for this reason I preferred to exclude the Z6III, well aware that I would have given up a bit of speed and readiness, in favor of a greater possibility of pumping the sensitivity upwards. The cleanliness of the files left me speechless, as well as the build quality and performance of the AF, which if it weren't for the greater customizations is in line with that of the Z 8 as results. The only thing I miss is a few keys (menu shortcut) and the disappearance of the histogram on the monitor when I connect the Godox trigger x the flashes. The responsiveness is more than good and between this and the z8 as noise there is easily 1 diaphragm. The build quality is excellent especially for the amateur range to which this model belongs, highly recommended, good NIKON.

Pros: All the pros of ZF but with greater ergonomics and grip, more configurable buttons and brighter viewfinder

Cons: Few and negligible given the lens for which the camera is intended.

Opinion: It is practically a rebodied ZF with a classic camera body. I would call it the heir to the D750 reflex, a very successful Nikon camera that I have also had in the past. Practically an all-rounder with BSI sensor and high IQ and autofocus performance. Ergonomically it is a good camera body (you could do even more), many programmable keys and a good grip but also a little improvable. In my opinion the best grip is that of the Panasonic S5II/S1II/S1RII/G9. I don't like the LCD joint, I much prefer the one of the Panasonic S1II/S1RII or that of the Sony A7V/A1II/A7R5 (tiltable and flippable), but it is still usable. Compared to the previous user's review I was able to get AFS and AFC to work with 2 different keys... I basically left the AFS on the shutter button while I set the AFC+tracking on the AF-ON button, so when I have to quickly switch from AFS to AFC+tracking I do it instantly by pressing the AF-ON button. The stabilization on the sensor seems very efficient to me, especially with Nikon lenses. The QI is not up for discussion, it is one of the best sensors on the market and the 24 MPX are always clean and are almost always enough for me. The sight systems are very sharp and bright (especially the viewfinder). In short, this Z5II is a camera for those who do not want to break the bank but do not want to have important sacrifices.

Pros: For now, almost everything

Cons: Autofocus key customization

Opinion: In the hand it is a tank, the build quality is satisfying. It's a really good car, in all respects. The thing that leaves you speechless is the tightness at high iso. It's really impressive... The thing that leaves you speechless is the pleasantness of the colors even at unthinkable isos! It is as if (making an analogy with cars) they had tuned the ECU for high iso. For example on shadow recovery it is worse than my d750 at iso 100, but raising the iso, from 640 upwards, it wears super powers... And it becomes exceptional. I had the z8 and honestly I suffered at high iso and, moreover, I could not stand the LCD release mechanism. I was always afraid of damaging it ... And it is an operation that I do very often. On the z5ii even the LCD flap is of a robustness that I have never found in previous cameras (r6ii, s5ii, etc ...) . For me it's the best camera Nikon has made in recent years. And I tried them... One thing that Nikon stubbornly does not improve is the customization of the af... With Canon I could stay in afs and with a button I switched on the fly to AFC and at the same time to tracking. This with Nikon is impossible, you have to switch to AFC first and then change to tracking: two more steps .... I hope Nikon improves this thing sooner or later...
