Rank #10 in Best Mirrorless Cameras 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Spec Tables Lie
Nikon Z5 Full-Frame Body
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Nikon Z5 is a full-frame mirrorless camera body, and it takes the last place in this guide at number 10. The listing sets out a 24.3 MP effective still resolution, a 273-point hybrid autofocus system, 5-axis in-body optical image stabilisation, 4K movies and dual card slots, at £638.00. It carries a 4.6 rating.
The number worth checking on this page is the rating count. The listing states 93 ratings, but its own star breakdown reads 5, 3, 3, 6 and 83, which adds up to 100 — seven more than it claims. The specification table also lists a Maximum Aperture of "1 f", which is not a figure you can do anything with, and the listing is headed "Body", so no lens is mentioned and the aperture would depend on whatever you fit. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any test of ours.
How those 93 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The Nikon Z5 is a fantastic full-frame mirrorless camera—perfect for both photography and video. Image quality is sharp, colors are rich, and the low-light performance is impressive. It feels solid in the hand and is easy to use, even for beginners. A great investment if you're stepping into full-frame photography!Here are a few photos below I took using the Nikkor Z 24-70mm lens!”
Verified purchase“Bought this to replace my existing and very old Nikon D5100.Mirrorless is a whole new area to explore and this camera has features I've only ever dreamt of having such as focus stacking ability and two DS card slots so you can configure one to backup the other. As I've lost important work before, this is a must-have for me. Can't wait to properly explore this one.”
