Nikon has introduced a new, more affordable full-frame mirrorless camera called the Nikon Z5IIc. This model is essentially a simplified version of the popular Z5II, but with several cost-cutting measures, including the removal of the electronic viewfinder. It is the company's cheapest full-frame camera, designed for beginners stepping up from smartphones who rely on screen composition rather than viewfinders.
The Z5IIc features a 24.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor, ISO range of 100-64,000, and shoots up to 11 frames per second in RAW and 30fps in JPEG. It also offers 4K30p video recording and a touch-screen display. The camera retains most of the specifications from the Z5II, including the same sensor, processor, and image stabilisation capabilities.
However, the Z5IIc lacks a viewfinder and has a downsized 3.2-inch, 1.02 million-dot LCD touchscreen. It also comes with a single SD card slot, compared to the dual slots of the Z5II. Despite these changes, Nikon has retained the camera's weather sealing, and it is compatible with Nikon's Snapbridge app, Nikon Imaging Cloud, and colour output recipes.
The Z5IIc is set to launch in October, available in black or silver, with pricing starting at £1,349 for the body-only version.
