Nikon India has introduced the Nikon Z5II, its next-generation full-frame mirrorless camera aimed at content creators, cinematographers, and professionals working in dynamic environments. The new Z5II brings upgrades in video recording, autofocus speed, and low-light performance while keeping creator needs at the forefront.
The Nikon Z5II is built around a 24.5-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and powered by the EXPEED 7 image processor. Nikon has focused on improving autofocus performance with a 3.5x faster system and subject detection in low-light environments as dim as -10EV. It also supports 4K video at 60fps, Full HD video at 120fps, and 12-bit N-RAW recording. These features make the Z5II a versatile tool for filmmakers, event videographers, and photographers alike.
Features
With support for both 12-bit N-RAW and 10-bit N-Log, the Z5II offers professional-level flexibility for post-production workflows. Nikon has introduced a dedicated Picture Control button for on-the-fly visual adjustments, alongside a vari-angle LCD and a bright 3000-nit EVF for improved visibility while shooting outdoors or under low light.
The upgraded AF system includes an improved AF-A mode that intelligently switches to continuous autofocus for moving subjects. AI-based subject detection can now recognise people, pets, birds, and vehicles, aiding users in fast-paced scenarios such as sports or weddings.
The in-body 5-axis vibration reduction system offers up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation, making handheld video shooting smoother and more stable. High-speed shooting at up to 14fps with 3D tracking ensures photographers can capture fleeting moments with accuracy. The camera also supports SDR and HLG recording modes, expanding its utility across workflows.
The Nikon Z5II retains a familiar form factor but improves usability through a bright touchscreen, USB-C and HDMI ports, and seamless pairing with Nikon’s Z-mount lenses. Its build, designed for both hand-held and tripod use, caters to hybrid creators working in varying conditions.
Availability in India
The Nikon Z5II body is priced at Rs 1,49,995 and will be available across Nikon outlets in India starting April 24, 2025. Nikon has also made the camera available through its online channels and authorised dealers. Apart from this, Nikon is also offering a free battery and a charger with the purchase. Not only that, Nikon is also offering 1-free EMI as a part of the launch offer.
