Nikon just announced the Z5 II, a 24MP full-frame camera that seriously upgrades the original Z5. It’s got a backside-illuminated sensor with Nikon’s EXPEED 7 processor, giving it great low-light performance and fast, reliable autofocus, even in near total darkness (-10EV). The built-in stabilization (up to 7.5 stops) helps keep shots steady, and there’s even a Pixel Shift mode for creating 96MP images.

It shoots up to 14 FPS (JPEG)/ 11 FPS (RAW), has pre-release capture to catch moments before you hit the shutter, and comes in a durable magnesium alloy body with dual SD card slots. The EVF is super bright (3,000 nits), and the flipping touchscreen makes framing shots easy.

For video, it records uncropped 4K at 30 FPS (60 FPS has a 1.5x crop) and supports 12-bit N-RAW, 10-bit H.265, and 8-bit H.264. It’s also the first camera to record N-RAW straight to an SD card. The Z5 II drops in April for $1,699.95.
