Hello there. I have a z50 from like 1 year. I am so happy with it. The only thing it is annoying me, is auto focus on video in low light. Oh yeah, and the flipping down screen. In rest, i found it perfect. I have in plan to buy 1 more. This time, an ftc. Is like z50 but in a vintage way with side flipping screen. Good luck for me, and to yo all. P. S. I even do weddings with it. The client's are happy with the result.

[@riversheppherd121]

Happy to help!

[@vickosis]

I had the M50 and even though I found it to be a decent beginner camera, I've been extremely impeessed with Nikon. I have Full Frame camera but I'm definitely considering the Z50 as a general walkaround camera and to give me more reach for my Z mount lenses. Egronomics are superb and the I agree with this review it will make a better camera than the M50 in particular due to it using the same Z mount as the full frame cameras something that was overlooked, which will be a much better choice going forward, especially when the likes of Tamron et al start offering native Z lenses.

I’m stuck between the three cameras you mentioned in this video. I was leaning towards the canon but now im not so sure. Can you help me

[@olliphoto]

Would you recommend Z50 for sunrise/sunset? Daytime use it will be good in good light. Used for video also. Plan is to buy Z6 or 7ii but thinking about Z50 also.

[@Karbon_Based_Life_Form]

Can you send your pictures directly to your smart phone as you’re taking them?

[@vickosis]

Nice video and good comparison. I used to have the M50 and even though I thought it's a great beginner camera I wish I had the Z50 back then, especially since I gained hands on experience with Nikon cameras which I now prefer to Canon (not a fan of Sony, period). As for the price, Nikon represents best value for money across their entire camera & lens lineup and you can find mint condition Z 50 cameras for around £550 here in the UK so it's way more affordable if you don't mind buying used from a reputable retailer with warrenty. One of the biggest things you forgot to mention IMO is that the Z 50 shares the same Z mount like the rest of the Z system cameras, unlike the M50, which is growing all the time including 3rd party lenses now. Another huge plus is Nikon's commitment to feature and performance enhancements via firmware, something Canon and Sony could learn from.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

How does it work with the Mount Adapter FTZ for my F-mount DSLR NIKKOR lenses

[@SomaGál-d4h]

I don't think there's such a thing as a 20Mp sensor. Mp is used to measure the amount of pixels you get in an image (width x height). A sensor has a physical size, which is used to capture whatever light then gets displayed on those x amount of Mps.

Would you recommend this as an upgrade from a D3400, from a guy who mostly does stills but would still sometimes like to do decent video? The D7500 is around the same price

[@cianosullivan2799]

I'm in the same situation. Also, considering how expensive the lens adapter is, you can even get a used D500 for around the same price as well. The Z50 is a bit deceiving, everyone is selling it as a 'beginner' camera, but really the price is similar to pretty serious DSLRs.

[@striderwhiston9897]

@@cianosullivan2799 Ah, well, I was factoring in the FTZ adapter when I mentioned the price is comparable to the D7500. (Z50 is £500 + £200 for adapter, D7500 is £700 averagely) Unfortunately a decent used D500 in the UK is still like £1200. Think you can get the older FTZ I adapter for £100 used though

Awesome review, thanks! After all being said, I think I already know the answer, but let me ask anyway: If you were a D5600 user (and a very satisfied one), would you switch to Z50? Why? Why not?

Thank you for another video. I watched r50/m50,zve10/6400, z30/50 and personally the only camera that sits great in my hands is Nikon. My goals are shooting indoor videos (interview and architecture) as well as some outdoors events. I will more luckily buy a gimbal for any of those cameras but I want to have as many stabilization as possible (in body/in lens, in software). However, Nikon is a very old brand - people online most of the time work with canon, Sony, Lumix ...

Hi there! Thank you for the honest review on this camera. I have a Nikon D3400 and thinking about buying a mirrorles camera. Photography is actually just a hobby, however my job requires me to do photos and videos from time to time - do you think it's worthed to have this camera for producing photos and videos for a company website/socials? Another question, should I shoot in RAW or JPG for website content? Thank you so much x

[@TechThroughTheLens]

howdy! So if you company requires you to shoot, I would definitely ask them if they are willing to pay for the camera. You never know they might pay for half and they can call it a business expense. Also The purpose of raw is to have as much room to edit and change your photos. So if you plan to do a lot of editing them raw is definitely the best way to go. But if its maybe casual photos of a company picnic or corporate party then jpg should be fine. It just depends on how much work you need to put into these photos. You will not be able to upload a raw photos directly to a website, they website will need a png or jpg file

@@vickosis You can't be more wrong, Its lacks the grip which is the only negative point of it and external grip is available, Its good in every expect from z50 as it is z50's upgrade but in a retro design, My camera have Better human eye AF and support Animal eye AF, which z50 clearly lacks.

[@vickosis]

@@princekhandelwal8069 the Z fc seems to feel very plasticy and nothing like the heritage cameras it was based on. On top of that the ergonomics are definitely weak and even though you might be able to get a grip for it anyone who's used to the full frame cameras will struggle with the Z fc, not so much with the Z 50. The AF is just a firmware thingy, nothing to get too worked up about IMO. The biggest difference is that you can find a next to new Z 50 for around 500 bucks here in the UK, possibly less, which is somewhere between2/3rds and 1/2 the price of a (gimickey) retro Z fc. The later may be a decent camera, I'm not disputing this, but it certainly won't appeal to the same user group that the Z 50 did and you are far more likely to find iPhone/selfie users etc drawn to it as well ... which is kinda all I was trying to say.

@@vickosis I think that you got the wrong Information about that camera ( Plasticy ), because even its buttons are made of alluminium and tje whole bidy feels mych solid, offcourse the exyernal grip is not even close to the z50's grip but its price is not double its just 10% more than the z50 here in India. That's why i buyed it otherwise my first choice was z50, but than i got the updated version of z50 in the form of zfc but in a retro form.

[@vickosis]

@@princekhandelwal8069 well of course I meant it relative speaking and copmared to cameras of old which the Z fc design was based on it probably doesn't feel all that solid i.e. buttons, switches, flappy battery door thingy etc. Try opening the door and shaking the camera a little and listen to any sounds, same for everything else. I'm not saying it's a bad camera, far from it, but anyone expecting it to be to the built quality of cameras of old may be a little disapointed. That's all. . On the other hand I could easily live with all that if they put VR in the body, but they didn't so I chose a mint Z 50 for half the price instead.
