Nikon Z 50 with Wide-Angle Zoom Lens | Compact mirrorless stills/video camera with 16-50mm lens | Nikon USA Model

The Z50 is small, nice and small, with good physical controls and frankly fantastic kit lenses. I hope and pray they give us a few fast Dx primes one day, but the 16-250 mm range of the 2 lenses, with very light weight and outstanding optics make me happy. I do like the fact that one mount will service Dx and Fx sensors, as it is with other mounts out there. I am at home with Nikon ergonomics, they make sense to me. Images are more than brilliant. I haven't felt this much satisfaction in a long time. Whatever they have done with this 20 Mpx sensor, they've done it right. Incredibly low noise and the airplane photo shown is a 50% crop. I am so happy that this all fits in my fanny pack as I walk around no one knows what's in it. The autofocus video, which i don't use much, is still better than I was able to get out of an a6400 - in continuous. Bottom line, this works, is very affordable, gives great image quality and I want MORE Dx .... More, do you hear Nikon, MORE Dx on Z mount.

I am new to the world of mirrorless cameras so I don't have anything to compare it to. I purchased it because I wanted a camera with a better optical sensor than my point-and shoot and with some different lens options. It needed to be small and lighter weight with a simple interface so I can hike with it and take pictures on the go. The Z50 fit my criteria and my budget. I am happy with the quality of photos I get with it. The 2 lenses that come with the package retract to a shorter length which makes them nice for fitting in my backpack. This camera is probably not sophisticated enough for a professional photographer but would be good for the amateur.

I got this camera to start getting into photography again. This is the first high-quality camera I've had, and I love it! The clarity and ease of use are amazing for someone who is just starting out and learning the ropes. The 2 lenses that come with it give you a good range of view, and attaching and switching out the lenses are easy as well. I highly recommend this!

The Nikon Z50 has a small compact design. Even with the lens, battery and SD card, it weighs 585g. The electronic viewfinder is very good and has minimal lag. It only has 1 SDXC slot and is UHS-1 speed. It uses MicroUSB instead of Type-C. Overall build quality is great. The camera's selfie mode is very useful for vlog. Low light performance is not bad for a DX (crop) sensor. Price is fair and I recommend it with the 16-50 F3.5-6.3 lens. Lens has VR and camera has electronic VR instead of in body stabilization like the Z6/Z7 series. It supports the FTZ adapter so you can also use your F mount lens. It uses a new EN-EL25 battery so other batteries you may have won't work. The camera's AF points cover most of the image area. The tracking AF is quite good. You can see my full review on youtube. Overall, I am impressed with this camera and can recommend it to anyone wanting to enter the mirrorless market, without breaking the bank.

I own the Nikon z50 and the Canon EOS M6 V2. Many of you will want to know which is best.. Let me talk about them briefly. The Canon M6V2 is a more evolved camera series as its now many incarnations into the series. The M6V2, is the Flagship now, as it is taking the place of the M5. Its a nice Camera. Its worth the money. Photos are excellent. The feel of the camera is excellent. The build quality, the AF, the EVF, are all excellent. The screen is very good. Its also a smaller and more compact camera then the Nikon Z50. I find the photos, as compared to the Nikon, are nearly identical, with the Canon's offering slightly more resolution if you pixel peep. This is the effect of a 30+ Resolution sensor, vs, a 20+. The only thing i dont like about the Canon M6V2, is that you can't manually adjust the sharpness of the images. You can't do this inside the camera. It will allow you to adjust the saturation, contrast, etc, but you can't adjust the sharpness. The Nikon Z50 is a fast fun experience. The Jpeg IQ is awesome. The same style of tilting screen is slightly larger then the Canon's. The EVF is excellent. The Kit lens is very sharp. The body of the Nikon Z50 is metal but does not feel expensive. The Nikon has a wonderful front grip. Auto focus is sure and fast. Low Light shooting is very good. The battery door is horrible. No Spring. The card slot is a bit frustrating to try to use when removing the card. You CAN adjust the Sharpness of the photos inside the camera. The photo i posted taken with the Nikon is "P" and pretty much Auto, with +1 Sharpness and +1 Contrast. The Nikon when set to "center point" focus, captures the entire frame as well as the focal point, better then the Canon. The Nikon does not allow you to change the focus point using the screen, while you look through the EVF. Both of these excellent cameras are fine shooters with world class IQ and color rendition, and do not disappoint.

The amount of detail this camera captures is amazing! I’m using it only for product photography for my online store. Colors are very accurate. I’m in love with this camera. Kit lens is great too. Well worth the money! Fantastic investment for my business. I’m glad I got it.

After my DSLR died, I decided to make the move to mirrorless and since I already have a good set of Nikon DX (crop sensor) lenses, the Z50 was a natural choice for me. I highly recommend this for beginners or advanced enthusiasts who want to move to mirrorless. This camera comes with a lot of features that used to be only on the pro cameras. Of course the pro cameras still have new features that the Z50 doesn't have, but I really like having access to things like eye auto focus, animal auto focus, horizon level, user programmable settings, and programmable quick function buttons. Even the (i) menu system is now configurable. The transition from DSLR to mirrorless has been very smooth although I am still learning.

Ok so in all honesty, I took a photography basics class last night to learn something about how to use my camera. I'm used to taking out my iphone, snapping a picture, and voila. This is more of a "what is that dial for?" - "Where do you turn it on?" "Wait, there's a menu - with like 100 options!" I mean, by the sounds of the people in my class it's a great camera, but I just think there is going to be a HUGE learning curve I was not anticipating. If you're not super knowledgeable about shutter speed, and aperture, and ISO and the other million options you can do with a camera like this, I would definitely recommend taking a camera basics class. Like 10 times. There's A LOT!
