Nikon has launched the Z5II full-frame camera in India, in a way completing its full-frame revamp by bringing a faster CPU and improved autofocus to it. The Z5II, which has been priced at Rs 149,995 as body-only option, brings an auto-focus that is similar to higher-priced Z6 and Z8 to a more affordable price-point. It also, being the entry-level full-frame camera from Nikon, focuses heavily on video features. In other words, it is a hybrid camera that aims to do both still photography and videography equally well.advertisement'With the Z5II, Nikon is making top-tier innovation more accessible to all creators,' said Sajjan Kumar, managing director of Nikon India. 'The Z5II is crafted for hybrid creators who demand flexibility and performance in every frame.'
The Z5II — as the cameras have become nowadays — is a mix of old but well-proven technologies and some new tricks. The camera uses a 24.5-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor. But the key enhancements are in the performance of the camera as it now comes with Expeed 7, which is a major improvement over the Expeed 6. Every Nikon camera that has so far used Expeed 7 — such as Nikon Z8, Nikon Z9, Nikon Z6 III — has offered excellent performance. The new CPU has allowed Nikon to bring a much better auto-focus to the Z5II. The company says that it has a 3.5x faster autofocus system, which means it can now allow photographers to capture and track even fast-moving subjects such as wildlife in a better way.advertisementAt the same time, Nikon has also bolstered the video-specific features in the Z5II to make it more appealing to influencers and content creators. The camera can record footage in 4K UHD video at 60 frames and it supports 12-bit N-RAW recording and FullHD 120 frames for high-quality slow-motion effects. In addition, the camera offers N-Log, HLG, and SDR recording modes that offer flexibility to content creators.The arrival of the Nikon Z5II means that Nikon now has a full lineup of professional and hobbyist cameras using the Expeed 7 CPU. It also now has a lineup that uses a similar auto-focus system — from entry-level full-frame that is the Nikon Z5II to the top-end Z9. While the price of the camera starts at close to Rs 1.5 lakh, it is expected that in market it would be available with some key discounts and offers the way full-frame cameras mostly are.Must Watch
