Budget cameras often come with a list of features that feel held back in order to slot the camera in at a lower price point, but Nikon’s cheapest full-frame mirrorless camera has one key feature that I keep coming back to: Low-light autofocus.
The Nikon Z5 II boasts an autofocus rating down to -10 EV – the same rating as the more expensive Nikon Z6 III. On paper, that’s a number that beats out key competitors that typically sit closer to -6.5 EV. But, in actual hands-on testing, that means the Z5 II can lock on to subjects in near darkness.
