Nikon cuts the viewfinder to make the Z5IIC a $1,400 full-frame camera

Nikon's Z5IIC turns the Z5II into a cheaper, screen-first full-frame camera. The $1,399.95 U.S. body keeps a 24.5-megapixel sensor, in-body image stabilization, subject-detection autofocus and a mechanical shutter, but removes the electronic viewfinder and second memory-card slot. Nikon is pitching it to newcomers and creators who compose on the rear display, with scene modes and quick access to Imaging Recipes. The trade-off is clearest in bright light, where an eye-level viewfinder can be easier to use than a screen.
