Nikon Launches Yellow Program for Z 5
8 October 2020
Nikon has announced it is launching a Z 5 Yellow program for its newest mirrorless camera. From now until Nov. 30, you can try a Nikon Z 5 camera risk free for 30 days. If it fails to win you over, you can return it for a full refund, including shipping.
"There are thousands of camera users who are considering upgrading to a compact full-frame mirrorless camera that is perfect for a fast-paced and creative lifestyle" said Jay Vannatter, Nikon executive vice president. "Yellow allows them to do just that, in a worry-free way. We're so confident you'll enjoy using the Z 5 that we are letting customers try it for 30 days and if they don't fall in love with it, they can just send it back. We're excited to see what people will create with this fantastic full-frame mirrorless camera."
The Yellow program is available in the U.S. online through the Nikon Store. You can receive expedited shipping on a variety of kit configurations, including bundles with the ultra-compact Nikkor Z 24-50mm lens as well as the Nikkor Z 24-200mm telephoto lens to get closer to the action. The Mount Adaptor FTZ (retailing for $49.95 when purchased with the camera) can also be combined with this offer.

Update (12 Oct.): As Thom Hogan points out in The Not Quite Yellow Program, Nikon is also offering a "Z 5 test drive" program available through Nikon dealers. Plunk down $50 and walk out of the store with a Z 5 and the 24-50mm f4-6.3 lens. At the end of a week, return it or buy it.

The new Nikon Z 5 is quickly establishing itself as the premiere entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera, earning critical and editorial acclaim for its simple usability yet sophisticated feature set.

With an incredibly robust feature set, including a 24.3-megapixel Full Frame sensor, dual memory card slots, in-camera vibration reduction image stabilization, 4K UHD video and the perfect balance of seamless automation and full manual controls, creators can effortlessly capture and share their artistic passions, travel adventures and so much more.
The Z 5 offers simple operation, yet the most sophisticated features. The high-performance AF system easily locks onto and tracks subjects throughout the frame, while also offering Eye-Detection AF for humans, cats and dogs.
This limited time offer is the chance to discover legendary Nikon reliability and handling, stellar Nikon image quality and renowned Nikon color science that help bring your photos and videos to the next level. When paired with the ultra-compact Z Nikkor 24-50mm f4-6.3 kit lens, powerful Nikkor Z lenses or more than 360 iconic F-mount Nikkor lenses (with Mount Adaptor FTZ), users can capture clarity and sharpness that's nothing short of stunning.
