Japanese stores are listing one of the cheapest-ever full-frame mirrorless cameras as discontinued
The Nikon Z5’s lifespan could be coming to an end, with Japanese stores calling time on this first-gen, full–frame mirrorless camera
Japanese retailers have listed the Nikon Z5 as discontinued, according to Asobinet, a Japanese news outlet. The full-frame mirrorless camera is no longer available for purchase or in stock at corresponding Nikon stores across the US, UK, and Australian markets. The Nikon Z5, launched in July 2020, is known for its affordable pricing and excellent full-frame sensor.
Although the newer Nikon Z5II offers superior processing power, faster autofocus, and advanced video capabilities, the Z5 remains a popular choice for those on a budget. With the Nikon Z5 II retailing at $1399.95 / £1,349 / AU$2,399, the Z5 is set to be Nikon's cheapest full-frame mirrorless offering. Despite lacking an electronic viewfinder, the Z5 still offers high-quality images in JPEG and RAW formats and provides access to Nikon's extensive collection of Z-series lenses.
For stills-focused photographers seeking an entry into the full-frame world, the Z5 is still recommended, especially if one can find a good used deal or a discount. However, it may not be worth purchasing at full price. As an alternative, the Nikon Z50 II, an APS-C sensor camera, offers better specifications.
