Nikon has announced the full-frame mirrorless Nikon Z5IIC without an EVF. Overseas reactions have been mixed, reigniting debate over whether an EVF is necessary.
Nikon has unveiled the new digital camera Nikon Z5IIC, highlighting its lack of an EVF as a key feature. The camera is said to deliver advanced functionality while keeping costs down, and its pricing has also attracted attention.
Overseas posts have expressed mixed views on the presence or absence of an EVF. Some users do not use an EVF, while others evaluate the camera on the assumption that shooting will be done solely with the rear LCD. It has also been pointed out that no large-scale overseas survey of EVF use among general digital-camera users is known to exist.
BCN Ranking data has been cited in discussions of market trends, with observations that many of the compact digital cameras currently selling well do not have an EVF. Some believe the Z5IIC could be considered as an option for younger users.
Future sales trends remain uncertain, and reactions are divided overseas, but the Z5IIC is attracting attention as a model that has generated discussion. Decisions regarding its launch and pricing in Japan remain undecided.
