Nikon has a variety of cameras, designed specifically to meet their diverse customers. When the company moved to mirrorless, they had more misses than hits. But in more recent years, this has changed.
With nearly pro-level specs, AI-driven autofocus, and creative color tools, the Nikon Z5 II bridges the gap between entry-level and prosumer cameras. Imagine packing the brains of a Nikon Z8 into a body the size of a Z6 III and with features that rival any other entry-level mirrorless camera today.
In many ways, it's hard to tell the difference between the Nikon Z6 III and the Z5 II. I'm speaking to just the performance standpoint here -- as they both are incredibly similar. In many ways, the Nikon Z5 II feels like a camera that's not necessarily targeting the creator crowd.
