Nikon Z5IIC pre-orders are live! Here’s where you can secure Nikon’s new compact full-frame camera

The Nikon Z5IIC has officially arrived, and pre-orders are now open both in the US and UK. In the United States, the camera can be pre-ordered at Adorama or B&H for $1,396.95, while UK customers can secure one at Wex for £1,349. The Z5 IIC is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera that takes much of what makes the Nikon Z5 II appealing and fits it into a smaller, flatter body for easy carrying.

The absence of a traditional electronic viewfinder gives the camera a low-profile design, making it feel closer to cameras like the Sony A7C series or Nikon’s own Z30, but with a full-frame sensor at its core. The camera features a 24.5MP full-frame BSI sensor, Nikon’s latest autofocus capabilities, and up to 7.5 stops of in-body image stabilization.

This combination makes the Z5 IIC an attractive option for travel, street, documentary, and everyday photographers who want full-frame image quality without carrying a larger Z-series body. Subject tracking is a major part of the package, making it more than just a stripped-back Z5 II. Video recording is also well-supported, with internal N-RAW recording, a front-facing recording indicator, 4K 60p recording (with a crop), and Full HD recording at up to 120p for slow-motion footage.

Nikon Imaging Cloud support enables downloadable Imaging Recipes for various looks, automatic image transfers, and firmware updates. For those who prefer shooting, editing, and sharing directly from their smartphones, SnapBridge support is included. At its price point of $1,396.95 in the US and £1,349 in the UK, the Nikon Z5 IIC offers compelling full-frame performance, size, and image quality, making it a tempting everyday full-frame camera for many photographers.
