Cheapest I have seen this kit. Not a bad price for Z5 + 24-200.
Other deals:
Nikon Z 6 II Mirrorless Body Only + FTZ + EN-EL15C Battery - $2889 (Was 3,599)
https://www.amazon.com.au/Nikon-II-Mirrorless-Body-Only/dp/B…
CamelCamelCamel.
I can see one shop selling a z5 for $1785 but with only 1 year of warranty which seems like gray box to me. Most are $2k+. The amazon link is from the official Nikon store.
Cheapest I can see the 24-200 is $1350.
Even if the Z5 is $1785 body only, that makes total package > $3k + shipping if bought separately .
Waiting the price of Z6 to drop for a long time, hope I can find some bargain during Black Friday sales
The Z 6 ii for 2889 (body only but with FTZ and battery bonuses) is also 20% off retail. If I didn't already have the first version I'd get it
Where does it sell for $2889?
Thanks, damn that's a very tempting price!
I was going to wait till Black Friday but the FTZ/Battery bonus expire 20 Nov so it's quite tempting. However, you won't get the FTZ for a while (ie: have to get promo application approved then wait for Nikon to send it to you separately) so if you don't have a Z lens, may not be able to use it until the converter arrives!
z6 ii is definitely my next camera
Seriously considering selling my Z6 for the Mark II…
Me ii
Wanting the 4k60 on the Z6 ii when the new firmware comes out.
Apart from new image processor and additional card slot, there is not that much of a difference between the 2 right?
Yep 4k 60 is my main reason… Better autofocus but I'm not unhappy with mine anyway… Two cards handy but not essential for me
The new USB Power Delivery is welcome if you do like long exposures. You can charge the camera while it's on and taking photos.
@penguinswillrise: Yes another good feature. The gimbal I currently use could power the camera from its 16850 batteries which are cheaper. Currently can't do that with the Z6.
This or z6?
This deal seemed to expire yesterday but the price is back again at $2699.95
Waiting to see what kind of deals the outgoing Z6 gets on Black Friday/Cyber Monday but knowing that the Z5 will pretty much meet all of my needs, this is also pretty tempting…
Indeed, the 24-200 lens is about $1300 by itself so this represents quite good value. Could always re-sell z5 and buy z6 separately.
That's also not a bad plan. Although I think once I have it in my hands, I'd probably just end up sticking with the Z5. Other than the lower burst rate and video functions, I don't think I'll notice much difference. And to be fair, I'd only use burst modes for taking photos of the dog and the kids, and I don't do video production for work so the non cropped video function or the ability to shoot 120 fps wouldn't be greatly missed I don't think.
Ended up ordering it but will hold off opening until after Black Friday/Cyber Monday to take advantage of Amazon's change of mind return policy if something better comes along.
Price has gone to $2799, with the $300 gift card it comes to $2499… pretty good value.
I also purchased this on black Friday using Shopback 12%, so I am expecting to get a further $330 back. Bringing total cost to $2169. Bloody good value! Amazon were nice enough to refund me the $100 difference between my purchase price ($2899) and current purchase price ($2799).
Well, if you search nikon z5 on google, it appears to be around 1700 for body only. Does Amazon provide extra care/guarantee rather than buying some where else?
