SUMMARY
Nikon has launched the Z5 IIC, a 24-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera aimed at entry-level users, priced at $1400 body only. This model is a stripped-down version of the Z5 II, notably lacking a viewfinder and a second SD card slot, though it retains features like subject recognition autofocus and RAW video capabilities. The camera includes user-friendly additions such as Scene Modes and Imaging Recipes, alongside advanced video options like 4K 60p (DX crop) and 4K 30p RAW recording. Despite its budget positioning, Nikon suggests it could be a viable option for budget-conscious video creators, provided the limitations are acceptable.
