My favorite camera from last year is on sale for a record-low price — the Nikon Z5 II is easily one of the best value full-frame cameras

The Adorama Memorial Day sale has yielded quite a few gems this year, but my favorite deal is definitely the Nikon Z5 II for $1596 (was $1,849).

I highly recommend you snap up this excellent model before the sale draws to an end this Sunday, as it's not only a great discount, but a record-low price on a body that has to be one of the best value full-frame cameras on the market.

I was really impressed by the Nikon Z5 II when I reviewed it last year. Coming from the older Z-Mount bodies, I knew roughly what to expect, but the Z5 II's compelling mix of image quality, video specs, and price really stood out to me.

In particular, I thought the Z5 II's autofocus was a real highlight. It's an area that older Nikon models have struggled with, but the Z5 II is on par with the brand's latest higher-end cameras. In short, it's fantastic for everything from everyday shooting to action, now with excellent tracking and greatly improved subject detection.

As previously stated, Adorama's Memorial Day sale ends this Sunday, so you don't have long to secure the Z5 II at this price. While we'll surely see this deal crop up again, it's hard to say exactly when, so it's definitely a good time to consider picking one up.

The Nikon Z5 II was the recipient of hefty price hikes recently, but right now, you can pick it up for a brand-new record-low price at Adorama and B&H Photo. I loved this model when I reviewed it, and it's a fantastic choice if you're looking for a fully-featured full-frame camera that doesn't break the bank. As an entry point to the excellent Z-mount ecosystem, the Z5 II offers fantastic image quality, decent video, and similar autofocus performance to the much pricier high-end Z models.

Note, if you're interested in comparing the above Nikon Z5 II deal to other models from the brand, I've attached a few more discounts just below. Adorama's Memorial Day sale also includes some fantastic deals on the Nikon Z6 III and the Nikon Z8.

Arguably, these models aren't quite as good bang-for-the-buck as the Z5 II, but they're still great value compared to some rival brands. And, they're great options if you're looking for a more fully-featured camera for video or action photography.

Nikon Z8: was $3,999 now $3,396.95 at Adorama

We rate the Nikon Z8 as the best full-frame hybrid camera for pros — although, of course, anyone with deep pockets will appreciate its superb 45.7MP stacked sensor, 8K video capabilities, and 20fps burst shooting. Our Nikon Z8 review awarded this excellent camera a full five stars out of five, praising its awesome feature set and smaller and lighter body versus the flagship Z9. The record-low for this model is technically $3,299, but again, tariffs have unfortunately shifted the price for this one up a notch in recent months.
