The Nikon Z5 launched as the brand’s most affordable full-frame camera – but now that the camera is nearly five years old, the budget model has dropped to nearly crop-sensor prices. Price drops on older cameras can sometimes hint towards a new model coming. With the Nikon Z5 now costing only slightly more than the Nikon Z50 II, is Nikon gearing up to launch the Nikon Z5 II?
The Nikon Z5 didn’t have to experience the latest price drop to be the brand’s most affordable full-frame camera. At launch, the Z5 sat as Nikon’s entry-level mirrorless with a full frame sensor. But while the Nikon Z5 is more affordable than models like the Z6 III, the camera’s $1,396 / £1,249 / AU$2,438 list price still sat above options like the Canon RP and the Panasonic S9.
