    UPDATE: The Canon RP does have 4k but only up to 25 FPS, without Dual-Pixel autofocus and with a huge 1.76X crop. Sorry for the mistake! It doesn't change any of our conclusions.

    As a stills photog I actually find the tilty screen much faster to use in the field than having to flip out and rotate the flippy screen, if I'm switching between using the EVF and the screen. For vloggers it's obviously different, but I just wanted to point out that there's no "winner" between those two screen designs, they're each better for their own purposes.

    The Z5 really is an incredible camera for stills. I've shot portraits, weddings, boudoir and family shoots with it and the only issue I've ever had is shooting a sporting event as a hobbyist to expand my skills and hitting the buffer so quick. The low light performance is what really shocked me when I had a client wanting to do a Halloween themed boudoir shoot which we did in a pitch black wooded area just lit by the modeling lamp on an AD400 and it was still tac sharp with no noticeable noise.

    Picked up the Z5 for $999 on sale, along with an FTZ adapter for $99 earlier this summer. The Z5 makes a great second camera for weddings or an inexpensive upgrade to mirrorless if you have a Nikon DSLR. I'm hoping they upgrade the autofocus firmware in the future. I'm really surprised to find two card slots and IBIS on a camera for a thousand bucks. Overall a great camera.

Canon's put a bit more into the tele end and Nikon's put a bit more into the wide end so far, but all the rumour sites agree Canon's got some wides on the way and Nikon will be adding more teles soon enough.

      Lol. It's an entry-level cameras to FF. So it MUST be around $1000.
      Canon RP Body - $1000
      Nikon Z5 Body - $1296
      Canon RP + 24-105mm - $1300
      Nikon Z5 + 24-50mm - $1600
      And 24-105mm is much much better as travel & everyday life zoom range.
      Nikon also offer 24-200mm bundle but it's very expensive $2000.
      So... as entry-level FF user I don't care much about IBIS. I'm not professional, not a sports photographer etc. If I want to shoot at long exposures - I will use a tripod, it's a rule. Also all lenses has IS, so IBIS - is unnecessary for photo enthusiasts.
      Better stills autofocus. It's not better enough to pay extra $300. Both autofocus systems are perfect.
      Weathersealing. For.. what? Don't understand. Weathersealing is for very difficult conditions. Repeating, it's ==entry level== FF camera. Also weathersealing adding +200g to body. I had D5100 & X-T30 - they don't have weather sealing & perfectly survived under usual rain.
      Two card slots. Lol )))
      Also as I see Z lenses ecosystem is too expensive & contain many S-Line lenses that is not affordable for Z5 users. For ex if I want to shoot portraits, I will need 50mm. For now:
      Nikon Z 50mm f/1,8 S - $600
      Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM - $200
      Canon RP + 24-105mm + 50mm = $1500
      Nikon Z5 + 24-50mm + 50mm = $2200
      And I will pay much more in future being Nikon ecosystem slave.
      I think Nikon marketers are an idiots. They added features to such camera without knowing where it can be used, for what & by whom ))

    I had this same debate over the two camera’s and went with the Nikon Z5 and some lenses. One of the biggest factors for me was weather sealing. That Nikon combo is fully sealed and the RP combo is not. If you’re outdoors in mist/light rain or snow/spray that’s an important feature worth considering. Or dusty conditions. Overall though that’s all the same points pondered deciding between the two. The Z5 also improved the low light AF performance a few months ago in a firmware update which is greatly improved.

      @@volodymyr.mksmchk Many of the lenses are not unfortunately. Much of the Z lens lineup is. For example the 24-200 Z is extensively sealed, I’ve actually soaked it and the camera in heavy rain. The 24-240 Canon lens is not. Canon stuck to the model of only sealing very expensive L glass. Nikon sealed almost all the Z glass other than the DX line. My 35/85 1.8 S lenses cost far less than L and have the same sealing capability. I had no options in Canon at the price range the Z5 is offered. This actually killed Canon as an option for me.

The RP is on the short list and this video has gotten me closer to a decision. (a friend has been pushing Sony A7ii) Also thanks for the walk through Mystic.

    Makes me wonder how sharp a copy of the 24-200 Tony got and verified a good copy? As many youtube and photography websites reviewers tout how sharp this lens is. My copy is sharp as many reviewers even compare it to getting close to prime territory.
    And concerned about the heavy focus on each with just the one kit lens. Which really doesn't show the camera to their full capabilities. More critical in my eyes isn't how sharp a particular lens is. But FPS more in-depth AF speed in more moving scenarios. Show me real dynamic range & recovery by overexposing 4-5 stops and recovering highlights and shadows.
    As couldn't find a full serious used daily/monthly review of the Z5 from Tony or Chelsea. Chelsea and others extended use in the field and sharing of experiences sold me on the D500. Z5 nada except in compares against other camera's they have experience with using. Guess to be expected as they are die hard Sony/Canon users now?

    Hi Chelsea and Tony:
    Noticed that you haven't made a video yet concerning 'maximizing your camera for photos in low light situations'. Yeah, change the ISO and use good glass on a full frame. But like everything else in photography, it isn't that simple and cheats and help hints can be done. Also, bare minimums of camera and lenses expectations should be pointed out.
    I used to shoot tornadoes and severe storms a decade ago (using nothing more than a XTi and a 10-22mm Canon), so naturally it is of interest to me; but as a subject it has not best fully explained that I've seen. But many novice indoor shots also suffer high ISO noise from lack of proper knowledge of low light conditions and improper gear utilization. Take this concept as a challenge.

    The places where the Z5 I feel really shine are dual card slots and IBIS, along with very good high ISO performance. The RP from what I've heard from friends who shoot with it, they like it, but it's not quite the same and probably a step below. The advantage of the RP though is the access to more native lenses in the R mount, plus lenses using the EF adapter. Same goes for Nikon but Nikon has fewer native lenses for the Z at the time of this writing. But for many, I think the dual card slots and IBIS will be important, especially perhaps for a pro using the Z5 as a backup camera body to say a Z7-series or a DSLR.

    That is the sassiest I've ever seen Tony. Ever. Nice review. I do suspect that 24-200 copy you had was a bad one though. I am very surprised at how bad the battery is on the Canon - maybe that's also a bad copy. For a consumer camera the truly flippy flip screen is definitely a plus too. I think as a pure still camera without the need for high framerates or high-end tracking and AF, I'd just get the Nikon (ignoring which lenses I already have).

    I was thinking going Nikon Z5 mirrorless or Canon RP mirrorless... at the end of the day, I didn't go for either of those. Call me old-fashioned but I will always prefer DSLRs mainly because it bothers me, that mirrorless cameras don't have a mirror in front of the sensor and because the battery life is poor. I find mirrors important. I don't want my sensor to be cleaned up often or worse, damaged because of all the dust particles. I know, that generally, if you keep the lens on your camera you would be fine. Went for a Nikon D5600 and an 18-140mm lens alongside it. Mirrorless is not for me, I am sorry. Nice review, Tony and Chels. Sadly, you couldn't convince me to go mirrorless. :D :D

Nikon's mirrorless cameras do not have this feature. Not sure about Sony. Just some food for thought.
