Nikon has released the Z5IIC, a compact full-frame mirrorless camera priced at $1,399.95. It shares the 24.5MP sensor and Expeed 7 processor of the $1,849 Z5II but removes the electronic viewfinder to lower cost and weight. The camera targets younger creators with new scene modes, film grain effects, and 4K video capabilities, though it lacks the viewfinder and dual card slots of its larger sibling.
