Nikon Z6 Mark II or Nikon Z5 – Which is the best camera for you in 2023? Should you buy Nikon Z6 Mark II vs Nikon Z5? I am getting many questions from wedding photographers too related to the same topic.
It’s all about the budget you have
If your budget allows then the best camera is Nikon Z6 Mark II with its advanced Artificial Autofocus system and BSI CMOS full-frame sensor. So, with the Nikon Z6 mark II camera, you get an advanced AF system and a better low-light performing sensor. The cherry on top is the Nikon Z6 mark II features dual card slot support for professionals.
Why is Nikon Z6 Mark II Sensor better?
Nikon Z6 Mark II camera features a BSI CMOS sensor and due to the presence of BSI tech, the sensor should deliver better performance in low-light conditions, to test that we have visited the dpereview image comparison tool. Does the BSI tech really help to perform better in low-light
At ISO 102400 both image samples are almost unusable, but we are not here to find out the usable ISO range of both cameras. We want to see the actual difference between the BSI and the FSI sensor, do you guys notice any visible difference between the two sensors? do it worth the price difference between them? Let me know in the comments
Nikon Z6 Mark II vs Nikon Z5 Image Analysis
As we can clearly see the Nikon Z6 mark II camera is able to reserve more details at a Higher ISO range compared to the Nikon Z5 camera. You can see the difference in the color block. The outer edge of the Brown color block is distended at the same time the color noise is also too high.
If we change the ISO one-stop
As you can clearly notice if we change the ISO, 1 stop lower than of Nikon Z6 Mark II (102400 vs 51200), Then we can notice the Nikon Z5 performance not only matches with the Nikon Z6 Mark II but is also slightly better too.
Image Sensor Part Conclusion
Getting a BSI sensor does help to preserve details, but not in a dramatic way. But, we have to see the other significant advantages too, of having Nikon Z6 Mark II camera.
Autofocus System
Image processors do have a very high impact on the type of AF system your camera carries. The Nikon Z5 suffers from limitations and to save up the production line cost Nikon added a single-line processor in Nikon Z5 on the other side we have a DUAL IMAGE PROCESSOR in Nikon Z6 II.
- Z5: -2Ev, or -3Ev when using Low Light AF
- Z6 II: -4.5Ev, or -6Ev with Low Light AF
As you can see the AF sensitivity range of the Nikon Z5 is limited when compared to the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera.
Single Image Processor, Slow Sensor, and Fewer updates for Upscaling AF
The same number of AF points but Slow Sensor readout and slow image processing. Both of the cameras share the same number of 273 focus points across the frame, But due to the FSI sensor and slow image processor the Nikon Z5 camera burst speed remains limited to 4.5 FPS, and the Nikon Z6 Mark II can shoot up to 14fps with fulltime AF and AI tracking speed.
Continuous Firmware Updates for Nikon Z6 Mark II loaded with NEW AI AF Algos. If you will check the firmware update history from the time of the announcement of the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera, Nikon is very serious about improving the AF performance of the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. And the updated pattern also tells us may Nikon Z5 isn’t getting that much attention from Nikon.
Nikon Z6 Mark II firmware F1.0 to F1.50 we have a massive upgrade in the AF performance of the camera
Nikon Made the following improvements Nikon Z6 Mark II AF Algo after the announcement
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.30 to 1.40
- – The camera focuses more readily on the subject in the center of the frame if it fails to detect the face or eyes of a portrait subject when Auto-area AF is selected for AF-area mode.
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.10 to 1.20
- • Improved low-light autofocus detection times at a Focus mode setting of Single AF.
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.02 to 1.10
- Improved eye-detection performance in Auto-area AF (people) and Wide-area AF (L-people) AF-area modes.
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.00 to 1.01
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused overexposure in photos taken in continuous release modes using an AF-area mode with human or animal face/eye detection.
Vs Nikon Z5 Firmware updates related to Autofocus Upscaling after its announcement
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.02 to 1.10
- Improved low-light autofocus detection times for Custom Setting a11 (Low-light AF).
Nikon Z6 Mark II has the basic ingredients or better to say good hardware inside (which includes a faster readout base BSI sensor and dual image processor to processor AI algo) which allows the Nikon team of developers to upscale the AF performance of the camera flawlessly.
Best Camera for Video?
Nikon Z5, as well as the Nikon Z6 Mark II Cameras, can record 4K video up to 30p but, unfortunately, the Z5 applies a heavy 1.7x crop in 4K video recording mode which makes it almost unusable for professional use.
The Best thing about The Z6 II can record oversampled 4K. And also, the Z6 II can also record 4K up to 60p but only with a 1.5x crop (firmware 1.10 required).
The reason for the heavy crop is that the Z5 old FSI sensor has a slow readout speed, which doesn’t allow the camera to read the entire sensor.
Even in Full HD mode the Nikon Z5 is limited to 60FPS and the Nikon Z6 Mark II goes up to 120p (when using the Slow Motion mode).
ISO range in Video
Z5: 100-25600 ISO
Z6 II: 100-51200 ISO (up to 204,800 with the extended range)
Now, the set of features that only the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera supports at the moment is 12-bit RAW HDMI output. When the Nikon Z6 Mark II is Coupled with an external recorder such as the Ninja V or Blackmagic Video Assist, you can record 10-bit 4:2:2 with N-Log or HLG gamma, or output 12-bit RAW (Apple Prores or BlackMagic RAW). ( paid upgrade)

As we can clearly see that Nikon Z5 camera features a FF sensor and Canon 90D uses an APS-C CMOS sensor. With Nikon, we will get added advantage of better low-light performance and more DR range due to lower resolution and more sensor area.
1. IBIS Factor
Nikon added the IBIS mechanism inside the Nikon Z5 camera. With S line of lenses, the camera helps you to get 5 axis IS and when used with the older generation of FX line of lenses added with FTZ adapter the Camera IBIS unit effective up to 3 Stops.
2. Nikon Z5 is more suitable for wedding and event photography
As usual, you can clearly see that Nikon Z5 camera features a larger sensor and a built-in IBIS unit inside. So, if you are a wedding and event shooter I highly recommend you go with Nikon Z5 camera. Working in a variable light condition is easy with Nikon Z5.
3. High ISO Test Between Canon 90D vs Nikon D750
Before we begin, let me tell u that Nikon Z5 is using a re-designed sensor of Nikon D750 Camera. So, more or less the image quality is expected to remain the same as of Nikon D750. As usual, you can see the High ISO performance of Nikon D750 is more clean compared to Canon 90D.
4. Canon 90D two-stops down (ISO 1600 vs 6400)
The low light images of Canon 90D captured at ISO 1600 look similar to Nikon Z5 images captured at ISO 6400. So, We have two-stops of ISO advantage with Nikon Z5 Sensor.
5. Studio Work – Canon 90D
When you are working on a controlled light environment Canon 90D camera may help you bit more with its higher resolution sensor to gain more details in every shot. So, if you are working in a controlled light environment I highly recommend you to go with Canon 90D Camera.
6. Canon 90D Grabs More Details at Base ISO
Canon 90D Picking Up more details / Color information at base ISO range. From the images, the Nikon D750 images look slightly flat when compared to Canon 90D at base ISO range.

MELVILLE, NY (July 21, 2020) – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the Z 5, the new full-frame (FX-format) entry-point into its award-winning lineup of Z series mirrorless cameras. The Nikon Z 5 combines sophisticated features inherited from the Z 7 and Z 6 with the benefits of Nikon’s next generation Z mount at an unprecedented value. For those new to mirrorless or creators looking to push the limits of their craft with the power of full-frame, the compact Z 5 will exceed expectations. With an incredibly robust feature set, including in-camera vibration reduction (VR) image stabilization (IBIS) and the perfect balance of seamless automation and full manual control, creators can effortlessly share their artistic passions, travel adventures and so much more.
Nikon also unveiled the new NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3, the shortest, lightest and most affordable full-frame zoom lens in the NIKKOR Z lineup. Designed for on-the-go creators, the 24-50mm lens is the ideal companion for Z series users who want to capture it all – from vast landscapes and cityscapes, to street photography and striking portraits.
“The Nikon Z 5 offers the next generation of creators a gateway into the full-frame Z series lineup, opening the door to the limitless possibilities of mirrorless photo and video capture, while providing the means to share their creativity with others,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “With the addition of the NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3, Nikon is introducing the smallest full-frame NIKKOR Z lens to date, providing an extremely lightweight, versatile option to help users pursue all creative endeavors, regardless of which Z series camera they use.”
Nikon Z 5: The Full-Frame Journey Starts Here
As the new entry point to Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless lineup, the Nikon Z 5 offers a lot of power and capabilities at an attractive price, empowering the next generation to begin their journey with the confidence to learn and grow as creators.
- Incredible Image Quality: Featuring a powerful FX-format 24.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, the Z 5 is the gateway to the benefits of full-frame, helping creators to capture intensely detailed images, ultra-shallow depth of field and clean low-light shots with unrivaled consistency. From portraits that flatter, nighttime landscapes that astound and street shots that impress, the gorgeous tones, faithful colors, minimal noise, and revered Nikon color science all play a part to help users capture images that are true to their vision.

- Silent and Smooth: The combination of the camera’s silent photography mode and In-Body 5-Axis VR stabilization provides quiet, stable shooting to document sensitive moments without distractions.
- Vast Lens Selection: Whether shooting glamorous portraits from a studio on the sidewalk, long-distance wildlife, epic wide landscapes in the field or street photography, the growing lineup of NIKKOR Z lenses provides Z 5 users the versatility to capture incredible shots with sharpness across the frame and superior light gathering in any situation. For even more flexibility, the vast array of traditional F-mount NIKKOR lenses can be used via the Mount Adapter FTZ to enhance images with a unique focal length or beautiful bokeh, while gaining the benefits of in-body stabilization.
- Dual UHS-II SD Card Slots: Equipped with two UHS-II card slots for overflow, backup or separating RAW and JPEG photos, the Z 5 enables photographers to shoot with extreme confidence when using widely available consumer SD cards.
Simple Yet Sophisticated for Expanding Creativity
A great option for emerging creators getting started, the Nikon Z 5 is packed with powerful tools and user-friendly controls to help users explore and capture their artistry with ease.

The wide array of AF points covers nearly the entire frame, and multiple AF modes allows the user to have pinpoint control or fully automatic assurance to easily lock onto a subject.
- Easily Shift Gears: The Nikon Z 5 offers the ability to effortlessly switch between manual mode for the ultimate in control, as well as a large variety of automatic creative modes to help mirrorless users capture truly distinct images and video.
- Creativity Built-in: Equipped with 20 Creative Picture Controls, and advanced features like Focus Shift Shooting and multiple exposure mode, users can compose unique images, produce extraordinary depth of field, or combine several shots and layer images on top of each other with the in-camera image overlay function.
- Advanced Video Capture: The Z 5 makes it easy to document any creative vision in 4K UHD/30p[2] or in 1080/60p (full-frame). When recording video, the PDAF system is rapid to react, allowing users to quickly lock critical focus on subjects, and is fully customizable to fit any production style. In-camera VR image stabilization and electronic VR reliably eliminate the shake when shooting video, plus users get the added benefit of focus peaking and the ability to capture stills while recording.
- Flexible Recording Modes: In addition to the traditional interval timer and in-camera time-lapse modes, the Nikon Z 5 is equipped with a new Time-Lapse Movie mode that gives users the best of both worlds for more streamlined movie making – the ability to use images from interval timer mode and create a time-lapse in-camera.

Both the camera and NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens are built with consideration for dust and drip resistance and are ready to tackle the next adventure.
- Functional Operability: The camera sports a powerful, high-resolution 3.2-inch LCD monitor with the capabilities to tilt, touch, tap, swipe, and pinch for an intuitive and flexible user-experience. Meanwhile, the 3.6M-dot Quad-VGA EVF ensures users can see exposure, ISO, white balance and creative picture controls in real time, making the transition from optical viewfinders seamless for new mirrorless shooters.
- Packed with Power: Powered by the new EN-EL15c battery, the Z 5 offers significant advancements in the number of shots per charge and is the first Nikon camera to enable constant power through the USB port, even with select portable USB power banks[6]. For added power and grip, the camera is also compatible with the MB-N10 hot-swappable battery pack.
- Webcam Ready: When connected via the USB-C cord, the Z 5 can be used as a webcam, making the camera a great option for modern vloggers, influencers and gamers looking to improve their livestreaming capabilities.
NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3: Portable, Yet Powerful
The NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 is the latest addition to the rapidly expanding lineup of NIKKOR Z lenses and is the smallest FX-format NIKKOR Z lens yet. Optically designed to take advantage of the advancements of the wide Z mount, this lens delivers sharpness across the entire frame and a versatile zoom range for everyday use. The 24-50mm is less than three inches long when retracted, making it the perfect lens for shooters seeking a versatile yet compact option for lightweight travel and street photography. When used together, the Z 5 and 24-50mm lens are the ideal discrete travel kit that can easily be packed and carried for all-day adventures. This compact NIKKOR Z lens is also an enticing option for Z 6 and Z 7 users who want a small all-around lens for portraits, landscapes, and street photography.
New Z Teleconverters Take NIKKOR Z Lenses to New Lengths
Designed for photographers and videographers who need more telephoto reach in their kit, the new Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4X and Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0X bring added versatility with 1.4x and 2.0x magnification to select NIKKOR Z lenses. These lightweight teleconverters are great tools for those photographing sports, wildlife and aviation, reducing the need to crop images and allowing for tighter compositions with maximum resolution.
The new TC-1.4X and TC-2.0X teleconverters maintain superior rendering performance and minimize various lens aberrations, while retaining focusing speed, VR functionality and minimum focusing distance. As an added benefit, the new teleconverters allow Nikon Z series cameras to retain functionality on all focus points up to f/11, making it easy to focus on and track subjects throughout the entire frame. Featuring the same robust construction as NIKKOR Z lenses, the teleconverters are designed with a fluorine coating on the front and rear elements to resist dirt and smudges, and offer a durable, weather-sealed body to protect against the elements.
When the teleconverters are used with the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S (availability scheduled for late August), the focal length on the telephoto end is extended to 280mm (1.4x) or 400mm (2.0x) producing a significant expansion of this telephoto lens’ shooting range. These new teleconverters will also be compatible with applicable interchangeable lenses for Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras that Nikon will release in the future.
New Webcam Utility Software for Nikon Cameras
In August, Nikon will release a beta version of the Webcam Utility software for many Nikon DSLR and Z series mirrorless cameras, including the new Z 5. Initially available for Windows 10, the free software will allow compatible Nikon cameras to be used as webcams. When connected via USB, this free software will provide users with incredible sharpness, clarity and flattering depth of field for all of their livestreaming needs including teleconferencing and gaming.
