African Wildlife With Nikon Z5 II + NIKKOR 180–600mm | Affordable Wildlife Setup

I spent 8 days on safari in Kenya using the Nikon Z5 II paired with the NIKKOR 180–600mm lens. In this video, I share real-world results, still shots, and video clips captured in the field.

The Nikon Z5 II is a powerful yet budget-friendly full-frame camera, making it a great choice for beginners and enthusiasts stepping into wildlife and travel photography. With its reliable autofocus, image quality, and compatibility with long telephoto lenses like the 180–600mm, it offers excellent value without the high cost of pro gear.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first full-frame setup or an enthusiast wanting a backup body, the Nikon Z5 II delivers solid performance in the field.

✨ Highlights in this video:
• Z5 II performance with the 180–600mm lens
• Autofocus and tracking in real safari conditions
• Image and video samples straight from the field
• Why the Z5 II is a smart choice for budget-conscious photographers
