Nikon unveils the Z5 IIC camera for beginners at 2,380 manats
Nikon unveiled its new Z5 IIC mirrorless camera on September 24, 2026. The full-frame model will be sold body-only for $1,399.95 (about 2,380 manats). The camera is $450 cheaper than the Z5 II and is designed for people new to photography. Preorders are open, and sales will begin in mid-October.
The Z5 IIC features a 24.5 MP backside-illuminated sensor, an EXPEED 7 processor and an in-body image stabilization system. The system reduces camera shake by up to 7.5 stops, helping capture clearer images in low light. The camera weighs just 537 g, increasing to about 600 g when the battery and memory card are added. The magnesium-alloy body is protected against dust and moisture. The camera has a 3.2-inch touchscreen that rotates in various directions. Most specifications state that the display has 1.04 million dots. However, information released for some regions lists 2.1 million dots. The electronic viewfinder used to view the image at eye level has been removed. According to Nikon, this change helped make the camera lighter, smaller and less expensive.
The electronic shutter captures 30 frames per second in JPEG format. It can also save the frames visible during the 1 second before the button is pressed. The mechanical shutter’s speed is listed in the specifications as 14 or 15 frames per second. The autofocus system recognizes people, animals, birds, vehicles and fish. The system can select a subject occupying just 3% of the frame and also works in low light.
The Z5 IIC records 4K video at 30 frames per second using the sensor’s full width. When recording 4K at 60 frames per second, the image is cropped by 1.5 times. Full HD video can be recorded at 120 frames per second. The camera supports the 12-bit N-RAW, N-Log and H.265 formats used for professional color grading and higher-quality video. A light on the front indicates that video recording is in progress. Product mode also automatically switches focus between the presenter and an item being shown to the camera. The camera has 15 scene modes, RED styles, an exposure histogram and image sharpness warnings. The model retains only 1 UHS-II SD memory card slot. The joystick and some control buttons have been removed. The Z5 IIC will be sold in black and silver-black. The kit with a lens costs $1,700 (about 2,890 manats). By comparison, the $1,899 (about 3,230 manats) Canon EOS R8 Mark II does not offer mechanical shooting at 15 frames per second.
