Sometimes, those special moments in life (both the ordinary and the exceptional) just… click. You know them when you see them, and you need a camera that can, just as well, just click.
Nikon’s Z5IIC is designed to make great photography feel effortless, whether it’s a selfie or a once-in-a-lifetime moment, at home or abroad. Power is palpable, present and accounted for, but Nikon has attempted to put the burden of making it happen mostly on the camera itself. If you have ever had a vision but felt frustrated by not knowing hot to translate it to your photography, this is a camera for you.
Many features will be familiar to those who are, themselves, familiar with the Nikon Z5II, but the body has been significantly trimmed to add portability to straight ability. Most notable is the removal of the EVF, routing all monitoring through the Vari-Angle LCD but also enabling an easily-totable flat-top design.
The Nikon Z5IIC—easy to pack, go, and capture the spark… while staying in the moment—will be available with black or silver accent, body-only or in a kit with the NIKKOR Z 24–50mm f/4–6.3. Secure yours today, in-store or online!
This fresh new style-piece is built around the same 24.5 MP full frame BSI-CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the non-compact Nikon Z5II, trading the viewfinder for an extra-compact, snag-free design. The Z5IIC brings full-frame image quality and versatility to a convenient body with a totally timeless design (available in two sharp finishes).
More than 30 unique Picture Controls stand at the ready, with a dedicated button actually incorporated: try DG Film Look, Air Green, Teal & Orange, Hidamari Color, and more. Plus, a robust Scene mode on the dial offers 15 different ways to tell the camera what it is you’re looking to capture so it can do what it can to make it happen, effortlessly. Product Review mode, in particular, totally transforms your experience with the camera to ensure efficient strides towards your goals. Interested in more creative breadth? Nikon Imaging Cloud offers infinite Imaging Recipes to expand your emotional range (the vintage vibes and film-inspired styles are unmissable).
Even the Auto mode is worth a look. As people enmeshed continuously in the imaging world, it can be easy to overlook the fact that when you rotate that dial to A, the camera has been carefully engineered to point, shoot, and get results. Even easier, it is, thanks to intuitive touchscreen operation.
Fast-moving subjects are no match for the speedy Z5IIC. Stills can be captured at up to 30 fps—fast enough to capture a candid view of life’s fleeting moments—and video can be captured up to 4K 60p 12-bit N-RAW in-camera. Both are supported substantially by 7.5 stops of built-in image stabilization and fast, intelligent AF which can detect not only subjects but pinpoint their eyes, and which can function in as little light as -10EV.
On a physical level, the body is weather-sealed with a sturdy grip, aforementioned flat-top design, and universally useful vari-angle display. The Nikon Z5IIC is the epitome of intuitive yet fearless photography—if you’re not sure whether it’s the right choice for you, visit any of our stores to consult with one of our experienced imaging experts to find out!
