Great deal especially with accessories! Is it better to get 24-70mm F4 lens for $300 more or get prime lens instead like 50mm or 85 mm instead for portrait shots?

If you are shooting stills only, this is a great value FF. camera. For the same money, you could also skip the kit lens and pair it with the 40 mm F2.

The 24-70 is very well reviewed and far more versatile for a do it "all" lens. It isn't a portrait lens though so if you want that bokeh you'd be better served by the 85 or 50.

This isn't the 24-70 kit lens though bud. This is the cheaper 24-50.

Yes, but he was responding to a question if the 24-70mm was worth the extra money, which it absolutely is.

Oh I'm sorry, yeah agreed, the f/4 kit lens is great unless you really need the f/1.8 lens for portraits etc

I use the 24-70 on a Z7 and have been very pleased with it. I do Portraits and find that I really use the 85 the least of all my lenses. I had the 24-70 2.8G lens and this is better. I really like the ability to change focal lengths by touch rather then different lenses. I've come to realize that the 85mm is a one trick pony. This is the whole circus. To be fair on the 85mm, I use the 70-200mm E for 85. My other main lens is the Sigma 40mm art which is my workhorse.

I would be willing to bet that most portraits are shot at F4 to F11 which kind of makes the Bokeh aspect meaningless. Number one, a person buying a Z5 is going to struggle with the depth of field at F1.4 or 1.8 in many situations.

just a tip. You can buy 24-70 F4s all day long for 400-500 on ebay or CCL.lots of people bought kits and didn't need the lens.

Nikon's holiday pricing is over. Amazingly, some more popular bundles are back in stock now that the prices are back to normal. Go figure?
