Nikon has introduced the Z5 IIC, a more affordable variant of its full-frame mirrorless Z5 II camera. The new model removes the electronic viewfinder, a change aimed at lowering the price and making the camera more approachable for novice photographers.

The Z5 IIC is priced at $1,399, according to Red Shark News, compared with a starting price of $1,849.95 for the Z5 II reported by The Verge. Engadget described the new camera as an inexpensive but powerful full-frame option, while PetaPixel characterized it as smaller than the Z5 II and mostly capable.

Rather than adding features to Nikon’s recent Z5 II update, the Z5 IIC pares back the design to offer a cheaper entry into full-frame photography. Nikon announced the camera as a new full-frame mirrorless model.
