Now available: Nikon Z5II with "Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8" lens
The kit comprising a full-frame camera and fast all-purpose lens is aimed at ambitious photographers and video producers.
With us, you can now order the mirrorless camera Z5II from Nikon as a new kit with the standard zoom lens «Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8». While the camera was introduced this year, the lens has been on the market since 2022.

The camera: Nikon Z5II
The Nikon Z5II uses a CMOS sensor in 35 mm format with an effective resolution of 24.5 megapixels. The light sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to 64,000 in the standard range and can be extended up to ISO 204,800.
A powerful processor is used for image processing, which achieves a continuous shooting rate of up to 30 frames per second. Provided you use the electronic shutter and JPEG format. The maximum continuous shooting rate with a mechanical shutter is around 14 frames per second.
In-camera image stabilisation is designed to reduce camera shake in freehand shots. The autofocus system is based on a hybrid method with 273 focusing areas. In terms of exposure modes, you can choose between programme, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual control. Exposure is measured via the image sensor and covers a range from -4 to +17 EV.
For video recording, the Z5II offers a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels at up to 60 full frames per second (with 1.5x crop). Two SD card slots with support for UHS-II are integrated. The magnesium housing is weatherproof and measures around 13 × 10 × 7 centimetres with a weight of around 700 grammes without lens.
My colleague David tested the camera:

The «Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8» covers a focal length range from wide-angle to light telephoto and is therefore suitable for a wide range of photographic applications such as portraits, landscape photography or reportage. The continuous lens speed of f/2.8 is intended to enable good image quality and a distinctive bokeh, even in difficult lighting conditions.
The close-up focusing distance is around 19 centimetres at a focal length of 28 millimetres. The lens weighs around 565 grammes.
Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.
Presentations of select new products at Digitec and Galaxus. Tested, to the point, no marketing blah.
