Hey everyone! I am happy to share my hands-on review with the new Nikon Z5II. Today I am testing this camera out in the field at a portrait photoshoot. I have autofocus tests for you using the new Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S and during our portrait session I am also using the Nikkor Z 50mm f1.8 S and Nikkor Z 85mm f1.8 S. I share 100% crops of the unedited photos first so you can see the true quality of the images and afterwards the edited version of that photo. In this video I take a look at the comparisons between the Nikon Z5II vs Nikon Z6III in case you are stuck deciding which one is right for you, I also share my testing with the buffer to see what shooting speeds the Z5II is capable of. Aside from photography I also have lots of video samples to share with you. I test video autofocus, share a few different in camera microphone tests as well as testing out all the IBIS options while walking with the camera. Finally and as always I have photos at every single ISO this camera offers. Let me know what you think of my review and the camera in the comments! And as always I will mention again that this video is NOT sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are completely my own. Thank you so much for watching!
