Nikon releases more affordable Z5 IIC with reduced features
Nikon has introduced a new, lower-cost version of its full-frame Z5 II camera called the Z5 IIC. Priced at $1,399.95 — $450 less than the original model — it retains key components like the 24.5-megapixel sensor and EXPEED 7 image processor but removes several premium features to reduce costs. The Z5 IIC lacks an electronic viewfinder found in its predecessor, has a lower-resolution touchscreen (1.04 million dots vs. 2.1 million), uses only one UHS-II SD card slot instead of two for redundancy, and omits the joystick used for navigating menus or adjusting focus points. Despite these omissions, it still offers high-speed shooting capabilities with JPEG images at up to 30 fps using an electronic shutter and includes in-body image stabilization. The camera is aimed at budget-conscious photographers who may not need all of the Z5 II’s advanced features.
