Nikon's Z5 II is the cheapest full-frame camera yet with internal RAW video

After years of delay behind the competitors when it comes to capturing the video (then buying a film camera manufacturing company suddenly, Nikon pays new borders in that area. And install the improved images.

Z5 II is a new sentence for the original Z5 that begins with the video. Although it is still limited to 4K 30 frames per second and 4K 60 FPS, he can now capture these formats internally using 12-bit N-RAP format with N-Log, along with 10 bits H.265 and 8 bits H.264. Interestingly, the N-RAW will be registered for the SDXC UHS-II cards, because the camera lacks high-speed CFEXPress holes. This means that you will likely need to buy very fast cards (expensive) and that the N-RAW video will be very compressed. However, it is a feature available on any other camera in this price range.

Nikon is also a major improved asset backed by a new photo processing and borrowed technology engine from the high -end Z8 and Z8 models. Z5 II can now lock themes more quickly, especially human eyes, faces and bodies, and operate in a bottom to -10 volt, compared to -3 EV before. Meanwhile, the artificial intelligence system can discover up to nine types of animal materials (including bird detection) to bicycles. When working in AFing AF, these topics can be discovered, focused and followed automatically.

The original ISO has been reinforced to 100-64000 (50-204,800 in expanded modes), up from a maximum of 51200. The company said this should improve noise levels through ISO domains. However, the decision is still limited to 24 megapixels.

Stability inside the body has been reinforced to 7.5 stops with subsidized lenses, up from five stations on the Z5. This is associated with the electronic stability designed to keep the video by hand.

The K5 II camera lens is still offering 3.69 million resolution points, but brightness has been strengthened to 3000 groups with 13 levels of brightness control. It now comes with a variable screen of 1.7 million points, which is a significant improvement of the tilt screen only for the form only. The body now has a deeper grip to improve handling and comes with a one -texture control button for inspection and switch between actual time definition files, with the last direction that Fujifilm’s X100 VI started.

Other features including the dual SD UHS-II card openings, 3.5 mm headphones and microscopic cranes, and the camera for cloud connection via the Nikon photography cloud and a new weather-resistant construction “on an equal foot with the Z6 III”, according to Nikon.

Z5 II seems to be a full -frame hybrid camera for money and competitors Sony and Canon have nothing in the same price range that can match it. However, it also comes at a price of $ 300 higher than the Z5 was at launch. However, film makers and other crop sensor cameras with similar prices such as Fujifilm and Sony can be seduced. Z5 II is now in advance for $ 1,699 (body only) or $ 1,999 with a group F/4-6.3 24-50 mm.
