Our verdict

An excellent first full-frame camera for travel, family events and video, with strong low-light autofocus and stabilization. The kit lens is fairly slow at the long end, so dim indoor action leans on the sensor.

Overview

Nikon pairs its new full-frame mirrorless body with a light standard zoom that covers wide scenes to tight portraits. In-body stabilization, subject-detecting autofocus and a bright viewfinder make it easy to step up from a DSLR or phone.

Autofocus that works in near darkness plus strong stabilization let you shoot handheld in dim rooms and at night. The kit zoom narrows its aperture as you zoom in, which limits background blur and low-light speed at the long end.

Who it's for

Hobbyists, vloggers and DSLR owners upgrading to mirrorless get full-frame image quality and modern autofocus in one kit. Action and wildlife shooters will want a longer, brighter lens added.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full-frame sensor with fast processing
  • Strong in-body stabilization
  • Subject detection for people, animals, vehicles
  • Bright electronic viewfinder
Cons
  • Kit lens is slow at telephoto
  • Battery life not listed
  • Micro HDMI rather than full size

Performance notes

Low-light results come from the full-frame sensor gathering more light and from autofocus that still locks in near darkness. Stabilization in the body steadies every lens, so slower shutter speeds work handheld, while the zoom's narrowing aperture is what limits indoor action at the long end.
