Nikon Z5 II hands-on review: big glow-up for this mid-range full-frame camera

Lightning quick with a 'night-vision' sensor

The Z5 II features a better-performing low-light 24.5MP BSI sensor and a far faster Exeed 7 image processor that speeds up it's focusing, processing, and general operation. The camera’s 3.2” Vari-angle touchscreen isn’t nearly as innovative; it sticks with a 2100K dot panel that is sharp enough to check for video focus, and it rotates freely for overhead, low-angle, and shooting at any crazy angles. The only discernable physical difference I could see on the Z5 II was its slightly more forwardly pronounced EVF bump, likely to make room for the brighter internal display.
