Night Vision" mode automatically goes from ISO 100 to as high as ISO +4, which might be about ISO 409,600. I love how the Z50 balances flash perfectly for fill-flash. If I hadn't used flash, Zoey would have been nothing but a shadow as the only other source of light was a window behind Zoey — and I love the color rendition! Both the new NIKKOR Z DX lenses unleash the potential of the Nikon Z mount, using the superior design flexibility made possible by the large-diameter and the 16mm flange focal distance to deliver outstanding optical performance and sharpness in a deceptively compact form factor. The second zoom – the NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR has also been made as small and lightweight (405g) as possible. It covers a 35mm equivalent range of 75mm-375mm and features a minimum focus distance of 50cm. Manual focus, aperture or exposure compensation can be controlled from its silent control ring and its Vibration Reduction system is effective to five stops. It too has a plastic mount, with filters and adapters being attached via a 62mm thread. Nikon Z50: Availability and pricing

The camera charge lamp (w) lights amber while charging is in progress. The lamp turns off when charging is complete. When it comes to ergonomics, Nikon shooters will feel right at home with the Z50. First of all, the grip of the camera is deep and very comfortable, especially when comparing it to other cameras like Sony A6400, Fuji X-T30 and Canon EOS M6 II. And despite the big size of the Z-mount, Nikon left plenty of room between the mount and the grip to make the camera comfortable even for those with larger hands. Similar to other Nikon DSLRs, the grip is covered with textured rubber, providing great comfort when using the camera for extended periods of time. Here is the view of the top of the camera that shows the depth of the grip, as well as the minimal number of buttons and dials on the top of the camera: Although it’s fair to say the build quality of the DX lenses don’t match the build quality of the Z 50’s body, it’s good to see Nikon introducing control rings to them, which can be customised to control focus, aperture, ISO or exposure compensation on the fly. Nikon Z 50 Review: Viewfinder and Screen When comparing the EVF side-by-side between the Z50 and the Z7, the viewfinder on the Z50 appears a tad smaller (0.68x vs 0.80x in 35mm), but both show a lot of detail thanks to their excellent resolution. The EVF on the Z50 is bright and clear, providing pleasant viewing experience, even when shooting in low-light conditions. Battery Life Mid-range" means an unsharp mask with a very large radius. In English, it means it's sharpening coarse details, not the usual fine details we expect.Talking of rivals, Nikon has a tough job on its hands to convince floating voters to choose the Z50 over Fujifilm’s popular X Series cameras or the Sony Alpha range. While having the same Z mount as its full-frame siblings means the Z50 is compatible with a useful array of lenses, it can’t yet compete with the range and variety available elsewhere. Z 50 owners, note that your camera uses the EH-73P AC Charging Adapter which connects to the camera using the UC-E21 USB cable. Charging camera batteries using a power bank As you can see from the above table, the Nikon Z50 has a lot going for it when compared to its DSLR counterparts. It has a similar sensor as the higher-end Nikon D7500 (which is excellent). It sports the latest and the fastest EXPEED 6 processor. Its autofocus system has more AF points and coverage than any Nikon DSLR, and it has a wide AF detection range of -4 to +19 EV. It has a very fast continuous shooting speed of 11 FPS, and it can shoot high-quality 4K videos with no cropping. It is the smallest camera of the group (although it is just a tad heavier than the plastic Nikon D3500). The Nikon Z50 is better in almost every way when compared to the D3500 and D5600 DSLRs. And being a mirrorless camera, it has some features like Eye AF, Focus Peaking and other useful on-screen information overlays that are not found on any of the above DSLRs. NIKON Z 50 + NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR @ 37mm, ISO 100, 1/30, f/5.6 USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) is a similar concept and feature of some Z series camera bodies including, but not limited to the Z 5, Z 6II, Z f, Z 7II, Z 8 and Z 9 cameras.

It goes to sleep and wakes automatically. Of course it does take a second to wake up so you need to remember to tap the shutter as you're bringing the camera to your eye, and otherwise it sleeps properly as you carry it around all day shooting. these are just snapshots and there are many more throughout the review; my real work is in my Gallery.)

It’s possible to change what they control from the Z 50’s Custom controls (shooting) options Entry-level DSLRs may be more affordable than most mirrorless cameras, but with the popularity of mirrorless continuing to grow, you've likely at least thought about going mirrorless. And whether or not you already have Nikon lenses, the Nikon Z 50 should be on your radar thanks to its great image quality and broad feature set. The two-lens kit is a great value, and between the two lenses, the combined focal lengths cover just about every situation you'll encounter, from wide angle to telephoto. Being able to tilt the screen is handy, but the fact that it tilts from the bottom of the camera means you can’t use it with a tripod. It’s fine for selfies, but much less useful for those intending to use the camera for vlogging. The Nikon Z50 has automatic EVF/LCD switching, so what does the little "|▢|" button on the top left rear side of the camera do? It lets you control when or if the rear LCD lights.

Don't use f/16 or f/22 unless you really need it.Before we go into the camera details, let’s see how the Z50 compares to its Nikon F counterparts and direct competitors on the market. Nikon Z50 vs D3500 vs D5600 and D7500 Comparison Compared to the Nikon D3500 and D7500 that have a total of 10 buttons, the Z50 only has 6 total buttons, in addition to the multi-selector OK button. Nikon was able to do this by moving three of the buttons to the touchscreen area. Now, if you want to be able to zoom in / out via the EVF or the LCD, you have to touch the right side of the LCD screen. Note how free from coma is the Z 16-50mm DX VR; even wide-open the points of light on the right remain as points. We used to have to buy Noct-NIKKORs to do this!

This phenomenon is what I call "battery-o-mania," the flurry of partly very similar batteries from all manufacturers. We need lawmakers to mandate a standard, like the code mandating a standard power outlet.

Because the Z 50 is built around an APS-C crop sensor, you need to multiply the focal length by 1.5 to get the 35mm equivalent. So, for example, the 16-50mm lens works out to 24-75mm, which delivers more telephoto reach than the numbers imply. I'm especially fond of the 16-50mm lens, because it's compact when in its collapsed state and gives you a good, all-around focal length. It's wide enough to photograph a group of people or a landscape but long enough to zoom in for an individual portrait or a relative close-up of wildlife. Speaking of which, the viewfinder, while smaller and lower in resolution than those found on the Z6 and Z7, is still very usable and comfortable to use – and if you’ve never used a full-frame Z Series model you’re unlikely to feel that you're missing out. It’s also on a par with cameras from rival brands that compete closely with the Z50, such as the Fujifilm X-T30, which uses a similar 0.39-inch, 2360k-dot device. Since the finder sets its brightness mostly based on the light coming through the lens, I often point my Nikon Z50 at the sky just before I hit the PLAY button to brighten the finder display.

The Z50 uses a 2.36M-dot OLED viewfinder. There are, of course, much higher resolution viewfinder panels now available, but this is pretty much standard for a camera of this price. It could be that you prefer the beefier, bulkier Z6 in terms of handling, but it’s hard to deny the Z50’s appeal as a travel-friendly camera. Nikon Z50 vs Nikon Z6: Price I don't use Nikon's AUTO Picture control, which does its best to guess what you're shooting and set itself accordingly.
