About this item
Written by Crutchfield\'s Ned O.
Next-gen processing and full-frame power in a compact camera
Photographers and videographers will find a lot to love in Nikon\'s Z 5II. It improves upon its predecessor, the user-friendly Z 5, with a new image sensor driven by a more powerful processor. You get blazing-fast continuous burst shooting for stills plus 4K/60 fps video.
Like its predecessor, the Z 5II has dual memory card slots, advanced in-body image stabilization, and a spectacular autofocus system. It\'s an agile, mirrorless camera body that can provide an intuitive, rewarding shooting experience.
Built for the elements
The Z 5II is weather-sealed against dust, dirt, and moisture. That means you can use it with confidence to capture photos and videos at weddings, sporting events, and other fun outdoor activities.
Pair it with premium glass for the best image quality
Nikon makes top-notch optical elements, and their Z-mount lenses (especially their higher-end models) are world-famous for their light-gathering abilities and quick, ultra-sharp focusing.
This "body only" configuration of the Z 5II does not come with a lens. Check out our article on choosing camera lenses to find the right one for you.
