The Nikon Z5II is a full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Nikon. The camera was officially announced on April 3, 2025, at the price of US$1,696. It is an entry-level full-frame camera that uses Nikon's Z-mount system. It is the successor to the Nikon Z5 released in 2020, becoming the tenth full-frame Z-mount body and the fourteenth Z-mount camera body.
A follow-on model, the Z5IIC, was based on the Z5II, but without an EVF and having only a single card slot.
Improvements over the previous Z5 model include:
The Z5II uses the Nikon Z-mount, developed by Nikon for its mirrorless digital cameras.
Nikon F-mount lenses can be used, with various degrees of compatibility, via the Nikon FTZ (F-to-Z) and FTZ II mount adapters.
The camera was awarded with:
