All the comparisons between mirrorless and DSLRs is making me nuts.

Memorycard prices on the newer cards Will drop in price and only profesionell photographers or those who shoot 4k video needs 4x32gb memorycards so that Will not be a problem for the majority of the z50 byers, Last sentence was meant to be that most z6 And z7 buyers will not need 128gb of memory cards cause im pretty sure most are amateurs that shoot stills, Other Z lenses are a Joke? Have money in the bank as well now. Being able to use it from the side is useful at the zoo and in tight spaces. The lens is so sharp, noise is so low in darker situations. Sure, a UWA zoom would be nice too, but the FTZ+AFP 10-20 should do okay for that. However, this option is the same price as the Z50 with 85mm DX macro lens, though it is still significantly lighter. Plus with the terrible ergonomics of the a6400 who could ask for any more. The M5 with the 15-45 and eventually the 22 mm f/2 will be perfect. I seriously doubt 99.9% I’d those who make these comments ever have. Sensor and Image Quality The Nikon Z50 ‘s sensor is a 20.9MP APS-C one, which we’ve seen before in the D7500 DSLR.

Our initial impressions about the Nikon Z5 were correct–this is a high-quality camera that achieves an unprecedented value, for both its image quality, autofocus, and physical quality, even. @Razor512The Z50 is using the same sensor and processor (slightly modified for mirrorless) as the D500 which is considered one of the best APS-C ugh ISO cameras on the market...So high ISO is less of an issue than you think.As igorwulff mentioned, the small kit lenses are not only compact, but are the highest quality kit lenses in any kit period (better than the Canon, Sony, Fuji kit lenses). Like others mentioned, they are class-leading in sharpness and quality! 28mm and 40mm pancake prime lenses are also promised until 2021. Unlike Canon with the RF and EF-M mounts, Nikon now has the same mount for full-frame and crop mirrorless cameras.

The adapter will bring full autofocus, aperture control and EXIF data transfer capabilities to Pentax K-mount lenses when used on select Sony E-mount camera systems. Thats the price of being on the bleeding edge. @Indik"Someone said theres not enough lenses for z mount?". No matter, it won't change the fact that the Z cameras are crap. It’s built around Nikon’s Z-mount, a new contender in the mirrorless world. I agree with johans81, EF-M is perfect at its price point, size and weight, etc... an APS-C camera with RF mount means developing what's already there, it can't be as small as a M100/M200, they need to make money with it but not harm FF camera sales, it would be complicated... Has anyone mentioned using all Canon AF lenses on Z mount?Could be fun!https://www.amazon.com/Fringer-EF-NZ-Focus-Adapter-Tamron/dp/B083BMJCLG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=fringer+ef-nz&qid=1578106097&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=kenrockwellcom&linkId=41771c0179c8052ad570cb93bd2abb0d&language=en_US. It’s a great little camera. The M-6 M2 seems to have some noise issues (same as the 90d due to the same sensor) - I was really waiting for a 7D M iii but that seems to have been cancelled. And likewise on the Fuji if the switch on the lens is already set to aperture (not auto) then it is also a one step process. Sigma has introduced its new 'I series' of compact, premium full-frame lenses for E and L mounts. Nikon makes good stuff but this wasn't the best release was it? Maybe it'll be a f/2.8 pancake that's excellent and then I'll sell the M5 and lenses and get it instead for the Z6 and that's it. So in general, it is not a class leading camera but I like it and have obtained good results. By biggest complaint - it ain't no D500 (neither is the Z7). But if you aren't looking to make very large prints, it would be perfectly fine for landscapes. I'm an enthusiast, but no expert. Z50 wins hands down! For slightly more, there are 20mm and 24mm f/1.8 lenses available, which will work well on the Z50 as standard wide primes. I wish it had a faster card or used XQD cards. Exactly right.

Z50 is just another APS-C camera that is third rate compared to the competition. The Z50 is quite frankly the best camera I have ever owned.

It is the most flexible system for connecting everything around. 24mp is plenty, the DR amazing, great colour output, very plastic raw files and the 24-70 f/4 is just bitingly sharp (wide open and across the entire frame). It is also only $300 cheaper than the Z50 with 105mm macro lens, or the Sony a6400, both of which will give better optics and better image quality (though in the case of … This is not targeted to the point and shoot users. The Z line will not end well for Nikon. I buy based on ergonomics, then IQ. Previous reviewers have expressed concerns about the reliability of autofocus with the adaptor. The Z50 has been barely out yet - therefore its sales haven't impacted Nikon's last reported financial stats. The issues seem to have been resolved by now.

I own one. For it to switch to eye detection, your subject’s face needs to fill roughly half of the frame. Nikon walked in year ago with all the trial and error already done.

Writing by Mike Lowe. I concur. IBIS and dual card slots would have been nice, but none of the competitors have those. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63391945. Suddenly owners that bought the M6II because of the megapixels, can't see the screen in daylight and wished they had an EVF, or the a6400 owners thought they needed the best EYE AF and realized there is no front dial, making shooting in full manual impossible. Clearly any camera under $1000 is just for soccer moms, they are better served with a Rebel, that is much easy to pickup than a MILC with an EVF that shows exposure. Should this comment go in the Nikon Z forum as it does not talk about the review specifically? Excellent product. Full Frame does attract me - I mean I grew up on Nikon film cameras so I was used to the format, and the manual control.

It’s placed in line with the centre of the lens mount, so creating seamless panoramas is fairly easy. It has no trigger input. @zxaar: well, by saying the Canon EOS M was not exciting, you put that variable in the mix, so it's not so much about whether it has been done before, it's more about are there people interested in both cameras and lenses that will be adapted to them. So far very impressed. AF is much better than expected and very reliable. The 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 DG DN share similar designs and have weather-sealed metal bodies. Beautiful little, almost pocketable camera and lens! Canon and Nikon always shared the mount, and it made sense. You buy cameras based on how the mount looks? This problem is fully gone once you switch the Z50 to any of the tighter area or pinpoint AF modes. Better than not having it of course. Read my review here. RAW and in that regard am probably unlike the target buyer, but as I hate JPEG in general wanted to see what the actual image quality looked like before it was compressed within an inch of its life.

Yeah, I have a fully articulating screen on my 77D, and it sits in the default position most of the time. There are so many fine alternatives you can choose from - so why buy a Z50. There are plenty of other buttons, but they are not very customisable. this what I am thinking right now.

Won't replace my sigma 18-35, but it might be acceptable when weight is an issue (outdoors, bicycle, skiing).Camera usability is better than d5500 and d7200, which I had previously. The best cameras for under $1000 should have good ergonomics and controls, great image quality and be capture high-quality video. Ah, when you can't support your argument, call the other person a troll. Nikon users can use the same lenses on both aps c and ff milcs but its a huge mount made for their full format cameras, Canon’users have to buy separate lenses for their aps c and ff cameras but the ef-m mount is made for smaller sensors and they can make more compact lenses. Best regardsBernhardhttps://deramateurphotograph.de/. The Sony A6400 should be your choice for fast action in this category. Atleast they have to give one or two Dx Z primes like 35mm or 50mm which really makes this camera small... its a good start and we knew it wont be class leading but in its first generation nikon did well(check sony, fuji etc on their camera performance intial iteration). when sony oly and panasonic did it was new idea and when nikon and canon did idea was old by 5 years. And yes it is slow, but the sensor can handle high iso and it is a result of making it so compact. @Rudi ZAlso, the Z lenses that have come out are class leading in performance in almost every measurable parameter.I notice that you joined a month or so ago, so I will cut you some slack...go out and shoot with the Z50, and or, any of the Z cameras and lenses and then make an opinion, don't just come on here making statements that are patently incorrect without first trying out the gear. I'm want a better sensor/processor, and so am considering the move to the Z-50, but will have to budget some additional dollars (as compared to buying an M-6 Mark ii and an adapter). How can this be fed back to Nikon so they would listen?Are there any estimated dates for the release of the 28 & 40mm pancake lenses? So pour a tall cold one and get ready to treat yourself, 2020 style. You then obviously shoot with it obsessively for…, The subject is the essence of your photograph. This combination is great for future compatibility. 3 points higher than the E-M5 III ?

A toy for instagram will not be supplied by a high level viewfinder. The review gives an impression that Z50 is not a serious camera and that it is intended to less serious people about photography than those considering the like of canon M6ii and Fujifilm X-T30. I bought both Z6 and Z50. Wasn't the mount diameter main thing about this mount. I agree. The Z50 really needs more love. Usable 8k ISO, and I rarely need to flash. Quite interesting how Canon and nikon went two separate ways when it comes to their APS-C and ff milcs mounts. The AF is not best in class but respectable. Constant f/3.5 would be exact two things this camera is trying NOT to be: big and expensive (or more precisely: it’ll stop this combo from being cheap and small). I ended up adding the 50-250mm "kit" lense and carrying it with me when we walk the dogs. Canon prioritizes their full frame RF mount lenses, they already have more in a year then their EF-M mount that has been around for over 5 years. There is no excessive colour noise until ISO 25600. The superb image quality of the Nikon Z 50 will do justice to the way you see the world. Anyway the main point is other than only true nikon users for general public it is hard to be excited about something they can do for ages on other mounts.

Gives me options. The wide Nikon Z mount lets the camera’s large 20.9 MP DX-format sensor capture more light across the frame. Images are crisp, colors look natural and there is the right amount of saturation and vibrancy. The image quality of the Z50, for both photo and video, makes it a strong contender against literally every other APS-C camera ever made. 209 AF points cover the entire area of the sensor. In fact, ML-L7 is the model number. For the Pentaxian a camera without IBIS would be like a car without power steering, we are just so used to having it. But when Canon started the EF-M they had no intention of a full frame mirrorless. High ISO performance is also up to the standards of 2020, although I have to admit I don’t like the style of the grain so much. Im not a lens engineer but something tells me it Will be Harder for nIkon to make a light and cheap wideangle zoom Like canons ef-m 10-22mm when its supposed to fit the fullframe cameras to. There's sigma 18-35 f1.8. The 50mm 1.8 Z is amazing on the z50 and while it's on sale its under $500. Is it dual-card? I also edited some RAW samples of the 12-40 Olympus, 28-75 Tamron, 12-60 Leica/Panasonic, 16-80 Fuji and 24-70 Nikon Z6 and with the exception of the Tamron (which is full frame) I couldn't really spot a difference in the final images.Of course, the situation is different if you need bokeh. The range of the two lenses is great for me as I do use the long telephoto range for shooting concerts and it works well with the stabilization. There’s nothing mediocre about the Z50; it’s a joy to use and delivers fantastic results, wonderful to hold, it’s really impressive and has brought me back to Nikon after a 5 year absence. Just ask my Panasonic G85 or even the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III, which are relatively affordable cameras. The footage here looks nice, although quite soft, but that’s always the case with such high framerates. Combining a 37MP full-frame sensor, minimalist controls and Lightroom Mobile built in, it's a refreshing – if a bit quirky – take on the smartphone-meets-camera concept. The Z50 is Nikon's first APS-C mirrorless camera. It tracks humans and other subjects well, throughout a burst of roughly 50 frames (RAW) at 11fps. It should be possible to build affordable, small and high quality primes. Works in the opposite manner in S mode (shutter speed rear/exposure comp front). You can charge the camera via the micro-USB port, or charge the battery in a separate AC adapter, not provided in the package. As much as I enjoy it, my D500 ends up staying in the bag a lot more than it should. Perhaps Nikon could build a semi-pro version? Can you make manual focus adjustments with the remote? If you test RAW files, you'll see that noise is low and has a very pleasing pattern for a $1000 camera. On that basis, it's clear that Nikon isn't trying to go for the same audience as the D7500. No price is given at this time, but the adapter is set to be available by the end of the year. Being last to market with mirrorless cameras, and dead last with a crop frame, We may ask what Nikon brings to the segment (since you have to buy all new lenses, good for Nikon board and shareholders) that is better or even as good as competitors and peers from other brands. I really would like it (in fact i have it, for a special purpose) but the battery is a k.o. There were there first, that's all. In terms of dynamic range, it’s excellent, in line with its competition at around 13 stops. Need more info? You don’t have their product roadmap, production margins, or any inside knowledge but things that look easy to the layman are often not. The superb image quality of the Nikon Z 50 will do justice to the way you see the world. A APS-C sensor with a large mount, this will never be a success story. A DSLR is much lighter with lenses than a Sony or Nikon Z camera... And the Z lenses are without image stabilization and even more expensive... For what reason should the customer pay 300USD (outside of the USA) for the Z mount... when they deliver the wrong lenses for their cameras.. Nikon is punishing as usual their customer and the customer don't buy anymore Nikon!!! Looking forward to many nice shots. This is one of the Z50‘s weaknesses, but also a big advantage in some situations. What are some of the goods, bads, and uglies of the Nikon Z50? Two photographers can stand at the same spot, at the same time, looking at the same scene…, Getting correct colors in your images is not always an easy task. My keeper rate was around 75%. "but flip any of Nikon's APS-C DSLRs into live view, and you get a focus-hunting mess".Soooooo, now DPR is at last honest about LV AF on Nikon DSLR bodies.

People using this camera arguably need it more because they might be more video-oriented or more likely to use the camera handheld. Hopefully they come out with a Z60 with EN-EL15, IBIS and Sensor cleaning... One of the many reasons I bought the Z6 insomuch the batteries from my D7200 are compatible.

The Nikon Z50 is the first-generation Z-mount DX mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor. I agree Clayton, I have the Z6 to replace my a6300 because I didn't want to deal with two systems and particularly the garbage (55-210) or too-expensive (70-300) long lenses. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. They are too big and even bigger than the Sony lenses... You should buy a small camera with huge lenses? 16-50 kit + Z50 already is an awesome combo. You do realize 1.

But other than that, we only have fully-fledged full-frame lenses, which are much more expensive, and far heavier than anything someone with the Z50 as their main camera would get. That oversize mount still has advantages in that the rear of the lens can be closer to the sensor increasing the image quality. Some programs use the usb interface, and the Bluetooth ML-L7 can’t be used to trigger. MIOPS has announced Flex, a new smart camera gadget designed to make it easy and simple to capture lightning strikes, action images, holy grail timelapse videos and much more.
