Great for travel

I have a Z50 which I bought for travel since it's small and light. After using it for a time, I was frustrated because the controls aren't what I was used to on my other Nikons. The Z5 was the perfect compromise ...only slightly heavier than the Z50, but with better ergonomics and more choices for customization. I think it's the perfect travel camera.
Meets professional level needs

It was an easy choice for me. I have two D750 bodies I still use, but having a more compact, quieter camera for my photojournalism jobs I find this camera supports all those needs. It's not the fastest camera, but I'm not missing any shots. The files look beautiful, the camera feels great in my hands and I love those barely audible shutters especially when I'm getting close to people I'm just only meeting during an assignment. My only complaint is that I mostly use prime lenses and when switching non-Z-mount lens off of that mount adapter is not the easiest thing to do, especially during soft early morning light. I'm sure over time it will become pure muscle memory, but so far it's not a favorite moment during my shoots. Most of my work is still work, but the video is solid with great stabilization. No complaints there at all. Also, having dual SD cards feels like a no brainer. Who wants to spend more on card space. Battery life is less than what I got with my D750s. But my last shoot I took about 2000 frames shooting in RAW, no stabilization, in manuel mode, and I was looking through that camera viewfinder a lot for a 4-hour shoot and the battery was 1/4 depleted by the end of that shoot. So not as bad as I heard at all. Overall I'm very happy with this camera
Great Z series option

I have two of these now for my regular work doing real estate photography using the FTZii adapters so I can use my existing F glass. The Z5 is just as good as the Z6 for stills with no discernible difference. I like having two SD card slots for constant backup, and the cost is very affordable. I use the Z6 for video, but for stills this is a great camera. Active D Lighting isn't as good as the older DSLRs, and picture profiles could use some tweaking, but overall I would recommend the Z5 as it's more than just a consumer camera and is good enough for some pro work.

Nikon sells this as their bottom of the line Z body, which didn't instill confidence at first, but it is a clear winner. It is a powerhouse little camera that has the four things I was looking for; 1) Full frame sensor, 2) Compact body for travel, 3) Awesome picture quality, 4) Easy as pie to use. The full frame sensor delivers impeccable quality photos. My work cameras are the Nikon D850 and D800 bodies, so I'm used to not compromising image quality. I'm a professional photographer who wanted a compact camera for travel and didn't need their top of the line Z bodies. I'm most impressed with getting a full frame sensor into a compact body. Way to go man, I've been waiting for this combination since digital photography arrived and here it is finally. There is only one way to get higher quality photographs and that is with a full frame sensor. The body is compact enough to fit in a small laptop bag or a well built waist pack. Having a small camera body was everything for me and in order for it to qualify as a small travel camera, it also needed a compact lens. Many of the lenses for mirrorless cameras are ridiculously large. This 24-50 zoom is nearly like one of the classic pancake lenses and my all-time focal length is 35mm. I've just been leaving the focal length at 35mm because that is the prime lens I use the most when I travel. The ISO can go high if need be so I no longer need the faster lenses. Even the f/6.3 lens is no problem these days. I'm happy with the lens sharpness and if I need critical sharpness I just stop it down to f/8 and there we go. This is a nearly perfect travel camera. The electronic viewfinder was a little quirky to get used to at first, but once you start using it, it makes sense. It is nice and bright even in bright sunlight. Compared to my D850 it is very quiet, another big plus for travel photography. Because the ISO can go high at dusk, I hardy need a tripod anymore (mostly), another plus for travel shooting. I was a little worried about the overall image quality and I did a number of tests when I first got the camera, including checking the sharpness with the 24-50 zoom. The lens does have a tiny bit of softness at the corners at 24mm, but it is so slight that it is not even a worry. Again, stopping down to f/8 generally sharpens it right up. The sensor is great in low light and renders an impressive dynamic range. Certainly everything I need for a travel camera. There are many instances when my snapshotting photos become good enough for professional use. Other compact cameras often can't do that and fall short. Ease of use is important. I need to capture fast action with a travel camera and the frame speed is impressive. I don't need the speed of my pro cameras, but it is good to be able to have a fairly fast frame rate. I do like the dial on top of the body for for faster use with the command dials. It makes shooting more intuitive without having to fuss with the controls. I still use the exposure compensation control a lot for tricky lighting and the button placement is brilliant and you can use it without taking your eye away from the viewfinder. The dual memory card slots are useful and I've found myself using them more than I'd first expected. The rear LCD screen is nice and bright and I find myself using it the most for low angle shots when the camera needs to be near the ground. It's great and you can do fast compositions without having to strain yourself. I've had this camera for a month and couldn't be happier. There are times when I don't want to bring along my big cameras but still need a high quality camera that is small and easy to put in a small bag. It is a fine camera.

t is a versatile, very useful piece of equipment, from the Mirolles line, from the brands that I have tried, NIKON is definitely the best, and even more so with its autofocus system, it is great, even for improving focus in low light conditions, however , I do not change it for another brand, I love nijon definitely

I was hoping this could be a carry-around camera, but it's a bit too heavy. I do love the feel of the shutter. Was also hoping to get results similar to D750. Still evaluating this. The S lens seems to have something special compared to non-S or maybe its just a placebo effect.

Our photography studio photographs weddings and familys here in Clearwater. This camera was to replace one of our Nikon D750's and we are so impressed with the accuracy for exposure, color, autofocus and the relatively low price. Can't recommend any higher for professional photography or just for the fun of it. Get one!
Excellent hobbyist camera

Note: Not a pro photographer, just a hobbyist. While I didn't Need a full-frame camera, I wanted to be able to use vintage lenses, and was willing to budget for the more expensive camera. I'm pretty happy with this camera so far. I've taken it on a short hike on a mountain trip, and found this combo to have as much reach as I needed. Pictures look great out of camera as jpegs, though I shoot raw too for when I want to change something. Nikon's NX Studio editing software makes quick work of edits, though it's not perfect. One of the reasons I chose the Z5 over the Canon RP was for the IBIS, and I was happy to adapt some old Minolta lenses and get great photos at lower shutter speeds than I was able to with my non-IBIS camera. The weather resistance of the Z5 is a nice bonus. Only complaint is the U1-U3 settings don't save everything, so some digging in menus is required between custom settings. Wish I could customize those settings easier.

Is the touch-screen LCD on the Z5 made of plastic or glass?
The touch screens on the Nikon Z5 are like most cameras. And are made up in layers of both glass and plastic. More or less like a smart phones screen.
