Nikon Z50 II vs Sony ZV-E10 II: Which Mirrorless Camera Should You Get?

[@Nqk27123456]

They are both very very nice camera. The ZVE10II is such a small and minimalist camera, with crazy good AF, Resolution and battery life. The Z50II is the perfect APS-C beginner photography camera. It even has precapture! Video capability is also a plus. I think the choice would be down to the prefered brand and lens system. Both are something we could only dream of at that price last year.

Well said!

I got 2024 Nikon Z50-2 and a Sony zv1-2 and a LUMIX Full frame S5-2 and my Nikons auto focus sticks on birds/animals like Velcro. Also it’s honestly my favorite camera of all time. You should also watch the Ken Rockwell video on the Nikon Z50-2 as he a dyed in the wool Canon guy loves the Nikon

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

The Nikon Z50ii is a better camera for me. I prefer a bigger grip and bigger camera. I like the EVF. Sony users will give reasons why they like theirs better. Flash is also nice on Nikon. Nikon has a 12-28mm with PZ powerzoom which is useful for video so saying Nikon does not have it is only true with the kit lens. The powerzoom for Nikon also works on the remote control in creators kit.

[@iangel23]

You can put the button for the product review mode directly on the screen in theZ50 II and for the power zoom lenses you can customize different buttons as well, so I guess you instead of saying the Z50 II does not have these functions you should have specified that it is possible to set them up.

In your opinion… Pair my Z8 w/ a z50ii as my compact rig , or go with a something like the ZV1-2 or zve10-2?

[@RawansReviews]

Depends, how much video vs photography do you do?

[@dilparmar-m3i]

Zv e10 ii Mark to Vs z50 ii Mark to Which is the better camera out of both? Which one has better photo or video photography results? Please reply to me.

[@RawansReviews]

Depends on your use cases, if it's more photography I'd go Nikon, if it's more videos I'd go Sony. But both are great and you won't go wrong with either one.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Both are fine for either use, however I think the Nikon is better all rounder as you can get the Nikon Z 12-28mm PZ lens which has powerzoom built in, plus zoom on remote in creators kit with vlogging handle. Sony users like their camera and it is a bit smaller for casual carry along use, however Z50ii is smaller than FF bodies. Again closely matched cameras, comes down to brand preference I think. Both work. Sony has more than one lens with PZ options though including 18-105mm.

Thank you for the interesting video. Did you actually test and compare the AF on both cameras ? I'm sure many people would like to see the results of your test.

[@RawansReviews]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I did, they both performed quite well, but Sony takes the edge here. Has more focus points, and is also lightly faster. Should have showcased more of that in the video, but there's a brief segment in the product showcase mode where you can see the AF of both at 3:10

[@Cervin_Suisse]

@@RawansReviews Thank you for your reply Sir. I did look at 3:10 but it is not obvious in order to evaluate. I think more thorough testing would be necessary. In any case, as you pointed out the Sony is not aimed at photographers but rather at vloggers. The absence of Both the EVF and mechanical shutter would make me not even consider the Sony. With regards to the " defocusing" of the ZV-E10 II that is done thru computational photography right ? keep up the good work. Cheers !

[@Nqk27123456]

​@@Cervin_Suissethe Z50II use the old sensor and the AF is quite worse than the ZVE10II especially in lowlight, Video AF, and when you use the Z to E adapter.

[@Cervin_Suisse]

@@Nqk27123456 Thank you for the feedback however, when is it showed/documented ? "quite worse" is a strong statement. It is another story when a 3rd party lenses is used, can't blame the Z50 ii for that one. With regards to the sensor I'm not sure why Nikon did that. The cost of developing a new sensor is is huge. Perhaps they kept improvements such as a new sensor and iBIS for an upcoming flagship APSC ? Anyhow the Z50's sensors is very good and the files produced by that camera are excellent, as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes it is about not changing a winning team. Lot's of folks are frustrated not knowing what are Nikon's intentions for the APSC market.

[@Nqk27123456]

@@Cervin_Suisse i test them myself. The Z50II could have some confuse moment during filming and I'm not confident leaving the AF to it under lowlight. In terms of focus speed, the Sony's new kit lens has crazy fast focus speed compares to the Nikon's so I'm not sure it was due to the body or the lens, but testing them side by side the Sony could grab action focus much quicker and more consistent. The Z50II focus performance with its kit lens is on par with the ZVE10 II focus performance with a 3rd party lens like Sigma 16 1.4

[@Mersuharrastaja]

I got old Z50 and when rumors came new version, there is mention that will got ibis or/and ~25 mp sensor. I was thinking that must upgrade, but when product release and specs to find out that got same sensor and no ibis, I think that there is nothing to me upgrade. I wondering why Nikon does not put ibis on it. There is vr many lens that are available. Only those "big" teleobject and few kit-lenses got vr but almost every prime lense does not have vr, because full frame Nikon's Z mount cameras got ibis. Even famous Sigma trio got no vr. But if I do not have already first generation Z50 and need light travel camera, I defenetly buy Z50 mark II.

[@Truth_seeker-bl5mi]

Maybe putting Ibis will increase size or weight...idk...or Nikon is stingy

[@us3around]

can you guide me which one should I buy , if my main target is non professional Photography and Video , mainly for Family trips and personal video & Photo

[@RawansReviews]

For your uses cases, I would definitely recommend the Z50 II

[@us3around]

Thank you & your thoughts on XM5 if it is same price as Z50ii? Which one sud i buy

[@oviasifovihasan]

What about Fujifilm X-M5?

[@ziminar93]

If you care about pictures Nikon is a winner x20 vs the sony

[@syuhaidahabrahman3316]

Zv e10 ii easily overheating.

[@1minuteofgaming596]

I believe the closest competitor to the Z50ii is the Canon EOS R10.

[@Nqk27123456]

The R10 has no chance lol

[@1minuteofgaming596]

@Nqk27123456 How?

[@Nqk27123456]

@@1minuteofgaming596 it's lowlight and video AF is not good, and this new Z50II has 0.5s precapture which is a game changer. Not to mention Nikon has much better 3rd lens support.
