Good price for a late model full frame + pancake lens combo. I don't think you can get any full frame equivalent cheaper.
Ideal light weight walkabout full frame set up, 28mm is good for general purpose street and landscape photography. 28mm with F2.8 would let you take decent wide angle photos indoor too (low light). The lens itself was released recently, street price around $400 on its own.

You can save another ~$50 by using discounted Amazon gift cards from RedeemYourGiftCard (3.5% off) or the likes.

    I find with these camera the battery are so so. You really need to buy extra batteries when travelling

      Usb-c charging

      The Nikon Z 5 can be powered via USB-C connection and the battery can even be charged during a shot. Hence suitable for long shoots, such as interviews or long-running time-lapse recordings (astro etc).

  • Simoneister on 05/12/2021 - 18:15

    That seems like an excellent deal for a very capable full-frame camera and lens combo, if that's what you're after

  • VerticallyIntegrated on 05/12/2021 - 18:43

    Reviews suggest issues with AF, despite firmware updates.

  • pbear527 on 05/12/2021 - 18:57

    I know the Sony A7's are much better, but how much better?

    • stickymoo on 05/12/2021 - 20:00

      Depends on your use case & which a7's.

      But an assumption you're referring to the a7iii which would be the closest comparison. Then the a7iii is better in some areas.

      Similar in others.

    • Caped Baldy on 06/12/2021 - 07:37

      Mixed bag. The new a7iv blows most of the competition away except for FPS. The Sony lens range is significantly more mature than Canon and Nikon and there's more third party lenses (eg Tamron, Sigma).

      • aoeueoa on 06/12/2021 - 13:32

        the a7iii already does 10fps which is pretty good for any pro/consumer level stuff.

        • Caped Baldy on 06/12/2021 - 18:00

          I'm talking the a7iv. Still 10fps for compressed raws at the increased 33MP resolution. Going higher might tempt too many away from the a1 and a9.

          I think the Canon r5/r6 can get up to 20fps. It is a minor thing compared to everything else that the Sony excels at.

    • jaffar on 06/12/2021 - 15:29

      All of the current mirrorless ff offerings are pretty good feature wise. One thing to note though is that Sony has a larger lens catalogue and also seems to be cheaper (heaps of deals throughout the year, plenty of well reviewed 3rd party lenses) compared to the other offerings.

  • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 18:57

    This or Sony A7iii? Price very similar

    • cxy0614 on 05/12/2021 - 19:10

      Of course a7 iii

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 05/12/2021 - 19:34

      Zz6 mark2 is the equal to a7iii

      • frowny on 05/12/2021 - 19:42

        In terms of video, the Z6II is a couple of steps above the A7III.

        In terms of photography they're probably up to par with each other

        • mattman on 05/12/2021 - 20:11

          A7iii IQ for stills is much same. Z6 evf much better, face/eye tracking much better, video much much better. Build/UI much better.

          A7iii is obviously cheaper and probably a bit better for sports tracking focus.

        • Shermanpk on 05/12/2021 - 20:27

          Image quality the Z5 is on par with both of them, it's mostly just the action AF where the Z5 struggles. If you are looking for a landscape / portrait camera in controlled conditions then the Z5 is probably fine.

      • Buy2Much on 05/12/2021 - 19:55

        Jimothy is right that Z6 II (or the original Z6) is the market competitor to the a7 iii. The Z5 is Nikon's entry level full framer.

        • stickymoo on 05/12/2021 - 23:49

          What is Sony's entry level FF?

          • Buy2Much on 06/12/2021 - 09:34

            @stickymoo: Sony do not design an entry level range like Canon with RP and Nikon with Z5. Instead they sell their older models at entry level price range. I.e. A7 and A7 II are still being sold.

    • hippyhippy on 05/12/2021 - 19:42

      Where can you get a7iii for this price?

      • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 20:22

        Price match from CameraPro

      • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 21:08

        Btw, sony fe 24-70 f2.8 GM is 16XX as well.

        • Dubious speculation on 05/12/2021 - 22:14

          Mark II coming very soon most likely. Sigma 24-70 DG DN is better value on sale.

          • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 22:23

            @Dubious speculation: I was thinking the same, mk2 might pop up soon, but the price of Sony fe 24-70 2.8 GM is so attractive… around half price compared to Nikon/Canon high end 24-70 f2.8, very close to sigma art.

            Edit: I thought Sigma 24-70 is around 1400-1500, but couldn’t find this price range anymore.

    • Buy2Much on 05/12/2021 - 19:51

      This or Sony A7iii? Price very similar

      A7 iii is definitely not in this price bracket. Even the ancient Sony A7 ii costs more than this Z5… before taking the bonus Z lens into account LOL.
      Here's an A7 ii vs Z5 comparison for giggles https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-Z5-vs-Sony-Alpha-A7…

      • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 20:16

        16XX vs 14XX, pretty similar to me

        • Rail Rider95 on 05/12/2021 - 20:18
          +3

          On a quick search through ozbargain, the A7iii just body was $1900+

          Definitely not comparable.

            • Rail Rider95 on 05/12/2021 - 20:27
              +4

              @UwYnot: You’re literally proving my point though?
              That’s $1,900 for just the body.
              This deal is $1,500 for a body plus a basic lens.
              Effectively makes the A7iii like 30% more expensive? Probably more tbh, depending on the value of the lens.

              • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 20:30

                @Rail Rider95: How is that 1900, read the forum, it was 1699, and it’s even cheaper now because of price drop from CameraPro

              • Shermanpk on 05/12/2021 - 20:33

                @Rail Rider95: I know a few professional photographers who are very tempted to swap out the 24-70 f2.8 (one of them has the f4 instead) for the 28 f2.8. It's pretty close to the 24-70 f4 in terms of image quality. Admittedly they don't use the 24-70 a whole lot and for them the smaller lighter lens makes a lot of sense when they'll use it maybe a half dozen times at an event.
                If they were doing real-estate photography then obviously they'd stick with the 24-70 f2.8.

              • UwYnot on 05/12/2021 - 22:50

                @Rail Rider95: Found the 1699 yet?

        • Buy2Much on 05/12/2021 - 22:04
          +1

          16XX vs 14XX, pretty similar to me

          You forgot the fact that the Z5 comes with a pancake 28mm F2.8 lens.
          Sony don't have an equivalent FE. The closest that I can find, store prices for 35mm F2.8 are around $1200, 24mm F2.8 around $800, 28mm f/2 around $600.
          So $16XX + 600 lowest scenario, is still very different to $14XX ;-)

            @Buy2Much: Not only that, there was a lot of fluffin around to get that price according to the comments on that deal link.

            A great price for the a7iii body tho, when it was available.

      • stickymoo on 05/12/2021 - 20:17

        True that it's not a marginal cost difference between bodies. When taking into account resale value of the lens ($400). A rough $600 price difference to the all-time low a7iii price.

        There's a lot of other factors though and $600 becomes marginal when taking into account all expenses that go along with FF.

        Also making note there's an emphasis on the similar comparison to the a7iii for photo only.

        • Shermanpk on 05/12/2021 - 20:38
          +1

          "There's a lot of other factors though and $600 becomes marginal when taking into account all expenses that go along with FF."

          $600 is literally 40% of the price. Sure if you are looking at a Z5 plus a 24-70 f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8 yeah okay $600 is a drop in the bucket, but I don't think too many Z5 buyers are going to go that route — definitely not initially all in one go.

          • stickymoo on 05/12/2021 - 20:43

            @Shermanpk: **In saying that 1k for a good FF body that was released in late 2020 is amazing and will be better than nearly everything else, in all categories, in that price range.

            Resale value will remain high @ this price point too.

          • Buy2Much on 05/12/2021 - 21:00

            @Shermanpk: Yep, I'd think that Z5 buyers would go straight for the Nikon Z 24-200mm VR lenses. The F2.8 zoom and telezoom lenses are more likely bought by Z6 and Z7 II buyers…

    • fringe-benefits on 06/12/2021 - 08:54

      Personal preference but I don’t like Sony’s colours very much at all.

    A7iii is king

  • ankor on 05/12/2021 - 19:16

    It looks like a good deal. But have Nikon caught up to Sony and Canon on their mirrorless AF speed and accuracy?

    • CyberMurning on 05/12/2021 - 19:18

      Not olympus?

      • ankor on 05/12/2021 - 19:41

        Not FF so along with Fuji, not in the convo since we are looking at a deal for an FF camera and lens.

    • Shermanpk on 05/12/2021 - 20:40
      +1

      Yes. But not on the Z5. Most Ive seen describe it as acceptable. If you are asking it to shoot a professional game of basketball forget about it, but portraits and landscapes it'll have no problem with.

      • IamaCam on 05/12/2021 - 21:01

        Agreed

      You will need the Nikon FTZ adapter.

      • CptnObvious on 05/12/2021 - 20:23

        Is there a non-nikon adapter that's relatively good value for money/quality?

        • Buy2Much on 05/12/2021 - 21:03
          +1

          There are cheap ones like Urth but they are just manual adapter, no electrical contacts so no AF or lens info being passed back to the body. Aperture, autofocus, AE metering and image stabilization – must be adjusted manually. Exposure settings need to be set manually too.

  • kev98 on 05/12/2021 - 19:55

    Good price for a full frame mirrorless

  • JL1 on 05/12/2021 - 23:16

    What does everyone think about Nikon dslr vs mirrorless full frame?

    I do have a few old manual focus lenses that should work with either with adapters. Tempted to go full frame in the future but what do people think about the dslr bodies compared to the mirrorless bodies? Dslr lenses should also be quite cheaper compared to the new mount?

    • [Deactivated] on 06/12/2021 - 00:54

      Mirrorless. Lighter. Wont be compatible with many old sigma/tokina/tamron.

    • FittyFitty on 06/12/2021 - 16:34

      Rocking both; not ready to let go of DSLR, latter being more tactile and responsive, plus optical VF.

      Also, fast Z glass is exy as…

  • chartparker on 06/12/2021 - 08:37

    I know the deal is over, but here's a good comparison against the RP which competes on price. For Sony equivalent price you'd be looking as far back as the A7ii

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJAVVlKfwRw

    • ankor on 08/12/2021 - 21:37

      Looks great. But I have to say, having had the 10 frames per second on the Sony a6000, it was hard to give up later on so an a7iii which also has decently fast continuous shooting is fantastic.

      I've been able to capture some very nice moments when taking photos of friends, dogs, kids and people doing sport - e.g. when a person does a board break and you get the moment the board snaps in half.

      • chartparker on 08/12/2021 - 22:58

        Or get an Olympus E-M1iii and have 60fps shooting with full raw and massive buffer :P

        • ankor on 09/12/2021 - 02:10

          Yeah nah, it's hard to justify m43 when FF offers such awesome lowlight performance.

  • JayX7 on 08/12/2021 - 14:38

    Is there any other deals similar to this currently?

  • NaviGun on 08/12/2021 - 23:22

    Is this deal worth getting cus I think I can get it for $1355
