As mirrorless cameras go the Nikon is easy to use, has a wonderful viewfinder, introduces improved autofocus features, and feels pitched to the correct kind of audience. Despite a low burst shooting speed and video capture that's outclassed by the competition, that still all adds up to what's arguably the best entry-level full-frame camera you could buy.

Great image quality from full-frame sensor; Huge potential from new Z mount lenses; Electronic viewfinder is of great quality and scale; Autofocus system adds Eye/Face/Pet detection;

Video offering much stronger from competition; Low burst shooting speed; Not a full vari-angle screen (it's tilt-angle only); Single area AF can struggle a little in lower light;

The Nikon Z5 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck stills-oriented camera on the market. Image quality from its 24MP sensor is just tad behind class-leading and much of its design, from the build-quality to the ergonomics, is borrowed from higher-end Nikon Z models.

Just about anyone seeking a well-priced; stills-oriented full-frame mirrorless camera.

Video shooters; Those wishing to capture super-fast action (in which Z5's 4.5 fps burst may not be quick enough).

Autofocus performance is also solid; reliable face and eye detect make it a great choice for documenting family/friends. Video performance is the one area the Z5 does not excel: 4K video is heavily cropped. But it does offer respectable Full HD capture with the added benefit of in-body image stabilization for hand-held shooting.

The New Nikon Z5 is a very attractive option for photographers on a budget who are looking for a full-frame camera. And in combination with one of Nikon's compact and affordable lenses like the 24-50mm f/4-6.3, it makes for a very compact package that delivers big-camera results.
