thanks.

có phải Z8 rất nóng khi chụp nhiều ?

Look at the plug on the cabled remote. It has 4 segments and not 3 like a stereo plug. The added one is most likely for the remote to work, so it is a hardware thing and not a firmwear thing.

Invaluable video thanks

Does it have recall focus in camera using price as m as be camera buttons or only lens Lfn1 & Lfn2 buttons

Love this camera 📷🥹❤️

Worth upgrading from D500 if I don't plan to use Z lenses and only use for birding?

engaged

Ricci, why does the new fast lenses does not have big glasses like in the old days, old vintage lenses even on 1.8 they have big chunky glasses on the fron but I see that today nikon lenses at f2 or even this at f1.4 they dont have or we canmot se a big glass on them. Do you know why????

Very WISE Lesson !, Congratulations !!!

My lens is noisy and focuses slow.

E quindi ? Sei soddisfatto adesso di questa sttonzata che hai fatto vedere ?

D500 is still DX king. Sadly! To me it doesn't make sense to take the 50' . I'd rather put the money into better glass.

You really dont have to push the lock button to turn the dials it only locks when you turn to c mode

You know that you dont have to press the middle knob to rotate :)

Great review. Thank you.

A very nice preview of the Z 50 Mark 2. A full review after some time of use would be useful. This will be a replacement for my D5300. So far I have felt the previous Nikon mirrorless options as downgrades for various reasons. I will of course like to see how it feels in my hands before I buy. My only questions I have not seen answered in previous reviews are. 1. Does this camera have either wi-fi, Buletooth or Gps. 2 How fast is the shuter speed 1/4000 for example. 3. Can I set up Back button Auto focus which I enjoy using. Keep up the good work.

Bit like a spanner and a hammer. Just two totally different tools.

Thanks for the wonderful review. Congratulations from Bulgaria 🇧🇬👏. If I may, I would like to ask you a question about the apparatus. Does the z50ii have an hdmi output for video recording and transfer to an external recorder such as the Atomos family or an external ssd hard drive?

Expensive cameras, lenses and filters do not make you a better photographer. Invest into a book about composition first and learn to see. Choose your subject. Learn about lines. Easy with the post processing.

Malaysia noted..🇲🇾

Just saw your video. It is the best video out there to explain all the focus types. I will be referring to this video often. Thank you.

Great review, thank you. If it had IBIS and a tilting screen, I wouldn't hesitate.

Any idea what the shutter life expectancy is ?

Looks great to me. I'm trading my Z50 for it right now. I'm OK with the slightly larger size for better hand fit, but I wouldn't want it any larger. I'd have been a little happier if they'd kept it smaller, but I guess they couldn't, with the new tech. I think 20 MP is just fine. We have stabilized lenses, so leaving out IBIS keeps the camera smaller, lighter and less expensive I expect. I'd have liked GPS (also missing in my Z8, which is really annoying). Even inexpensive hobby toys have GPS chips in them. Come on, Nikon...

If you have Nikons ear a firmware update for the ZF to use the headphone jack based remote would be great ..thanks!

I love the 70-200mm lens. I use it regularly. I put a teleconverter to get 400mm for some motorbike photography, but I find the 2x converter a bit slower than the 1.4 so both are good for specific things . its a diverse setup overall. as I like the 2.8 up to 200mm and after that you can choose to get extra range at 5.6 if you need it. Nikon lens are good and these are the best teleconverters I have used, even in 2024.

You can basically buy a used Z6ii for the price of a Z50II....this camera has waay too many shortcomings for its asking price...IBIS +24MP at least could have been justified...the Z50ii will surely get a heavy discount a year from now, it's just not compelling enough

Geez, why did Nikon release this atrocity when a Z5ii makes much more sense?

Cameras and Hifi are two subjects that trigger so many people. Why is that? People worry so much about the tech and not about the actual doing of stuff. People believe it or not are using cameras from the past and making amazing images. Get off the interwebs and get some sunshine.

The only thing I want to know is whether the NISI 100mm filter holder/filters vignette at 14mm with the 14-24mm f/2.8 Z lens?

What is the viewfinder blackout like? This is a serious drawback to the previous generation

If the next Nikon DX camera still doesn't have IBIS, then Nikon is done with the APS-C product line.

Currently using the zfc, is it an upgrade on that? I use it for wildlife and landscapes mostly with the tamron 150-500mm for that extra reach. Would the z50II be more of a side step than upgrade?

From what we can see in the videos the Z50ii has the basic customizability to implement AF-Handoff techniques. Does the Z50 have a Focus Persistence Custom Setting as do the previous Expeed7 Nikon bodies? This setting enables Handoff.

I think it will be a nice camera for recording, which will replace my z30. At a not so terrible price I will be able to learn how to work with N-log. and it can be charged via cable which is a big plus for me. In z30 my battery runs out quickly.

You said you would use mechanical shutter to avoid distorsion. Why would electronic shutter bring distorsion?

At this size they could have easily fit IBIS and batteries from their bigger bodies. A missed opportunity. PS: NIKON, if you are reading this, please fix the video backup to the second card slot on your higher-end bodies!

Always great to see you, and hearing your comments on new products, Ricci! (I admit that since I got the Z9, I've quit looking for new camera bodies, but always have a quick look, regardless.) Hope you've got the time to get out and shoot on your own!

I would have been ok with the old sensor, if it had IBIS. Without IBIS and no DX primes with VR, seems very limited for handheld video.

The specs of this camera is right up there with the d500 but with better focus tracking modes. I still think Nikon should come out with a replacement for the d500. I would like to see a partial stacked 24 mp sensor with IBIS in a bigger body like the z8. Give it everything the z8 has that will work on an apsc body. Give it 30 fps in raw not jpg. 240 fps in video for super slow motion. I think it could be done and under $2000. Give it 2 card slots with one being a cf express card. That camera will sell like crazy. I might would even buy one and I have a z8.

Thanks for testing the bird mode. That is awesome. I am happy with this upgrade. it is still a super cheap and capable camera. I do not think IBIS is a dealbreaker. The Canon R8 doesn't even have IBIS. IBIS is not a game changer, just use lenses with VR people. I do wish the megapixel was higher, but for DX mode it is already a very pixel dense sensor. Great camera. I cannot wait to get my hands on it to upgrade my Z50.

Some of the comments..... Have you not noticed the lack of entry level cameras? Here comes a competent new camera that is a pretty good value and some will still just complain. "Why doesn't the $900 dollar camera have the same features that the $1500 dollar cameras have!?(Squawks and screeches)"...... Yeah I can't afford the $500-600 more expensive camera. I'm thankful to see stuff like this Z50 II.

So if I understand what I see here, the "EFCT" position on the upper dial in the Z50 has been replaced by the Picture Control button on the Z50 II?

Nice looking camera and good review. In my mind this is the Z70, it has high end AF, and good features, but a consumer grade body, LCD and VF.

Ricci, I like you videos, alas it is not the camera for me... Others may want to know if the usbc port allows in camera charging and/or external power supply. Regards from the netherlands, Gilbert

Bit Sad it is bigger than Z50 😢

Great review, thank you. Nice camera. But bird photographers who ache for ever more resolution and raw pre-capture and very quick sensor readouts will feel let down. At least I do. I used to shoot with a D500 and this still isn't a natural replacement.

To test overheating, I'm not sure the ambient air has much impact, given the low convection coefficient of air and the absence of a fan. Exposure to the sun is much more important, and that's what should be tested (not easy when it's not there, of course...). Interesting review, but I was expecting a comparison with the Z6 II, which seems relevant, rather than with completely different beasts like the Z8 or the Z9.

Can the Picture Control button be customized and assigned a different function?
