Nikon Z5 Trial: You Can Try It For Free!

If you’re thinking about purchasing the Nikon Z 5 there’s a good idea for you! Nikon has reintroduced its Yellow Program, which allows US-based consumers to order the Z5 and, if not satisfied before a month is out, return the camera for their money back.

As Nikon announces:

We’re so sure you’ll be thrilled with the performance you’ll get with your new full frame mirrorless Z 5 camera that we’ll let you try one at home for 30 days. If you aren’t totally impressed with the Z 5 (we’d be surprised), send it back to us for a full refund.

The return offer even includes a prepaid shipping label, so this trial is 100% free.

If you do decide to check the Nikon Yellow Program, note that your Z 5 will be inspected if returned (it must be sent back in “like-new condition”). Also note that all Nikon Yellow customers will need to pay in advance.

You can choose from these three options, and you can also grab the FTZ adapter for a few extra dollars.

  • The Nikon Z 5 body only (for $1399.95 USD)
  • The Nikon Z 5 with a 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens (for $2,199.95 USD)
  • The Nikon Z 5 with a 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens (for $1699.95 USD)

Make a decision soon: the offer ends on November 30th.

Do you like this idea? We think it’s a really honest way to test a camera – which is not the smallest expense, let’s face it. Any producers dare to follow Nikon?

Are These Nikon Z7s Specs?

Nikon has just registered a new camera overseas that could be the Nikon Z7S or Nikon Z6S, the refreshed versions of the existing Z7 and Z6 cameras. The new camera has some upgrades, including dual memory card slots, dual processors and 4K 60p video.

Rumors about the Nikon Z7S and Nikon Z6S are dating back to early July, when we first learned about the Nikon Z5.

And now, just a few days ago, the Japanese super sleuth Nokishita spotted an FCC certification for an unreleased Nikon camera with the product number N1932.

Check out how does the Z7 work in Dental Photography here!

The tweet says: “Nikon’s unpublished digital camera “N1932” has passed FCC certification. Equipped with Wi-Fi (11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 4.2. If the orientation of the antenna is the same as Z7 etc., the width of the main body is around 140.6 mm, the height is 68.5 mm or more (EVF part etc. are not included), the thickness is 36.6 mm or more (grip part and lens part etc. are included).

Those dimensions are similar to those of the Z6 and Z7. Does it mean that we will be getting a Z7s pretty soon? Time will tell.

Nikon Z5: Specs and Price

After presenting its first full-frame mirrorless cameras, Z6 and Z7, Nikon is announcing their cheaper sibling: the Z5.

It is quite similar to the Z6, but also has some differences. There’s no status screen, there’s more plastic used in the build, and the sensor isn’t backside-illuminated. But elements like the 3.69 million-dot OLED viewfinder, the 3.2-inch touchscreen, the Expeed 6 processor, and in-body image stabilization are all present.

 

The Z5 also has one new feature which will help all of us: dual SD (UHS-II) card slots. You can either record to both to have one of the cards serve as a backup (in case the other fails), have RAW and JPEG captured separately to the two cards, or have double capacity by having one card serve as overflow. Finally!

Nikon says the Z5 will be available in August for $1,399.95 body-only, which makes it $600 cheaper than the Z6. There’s a $1,699.95 kit with the new 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens and a $2,199.95 option with the 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens.

Z5 in Dental Photography

We can’t resist the impression that the Z5 is aimed more at stills photographers, who will mainly use the EVF to frame shots. While it is not suited for vlogging, it seems perfect for shooting pro portraits! We must also value the eye AF not only for animals (we don’t shoot them too often), but also for human.

Will this price be true? And will the Z5 features be appropriate for our work?

We will find out in August, and you can be sure we will inform you up do date.
