Nikon Z50 Review on Location | First Camera, Travel Camera, Vlogging Camera Impressions

[@rishabh1131]

You’ve totally done justice with what the nikon Z50 is capable of. Many youtubers out there dive into the technicalities and the shortcomings of this camera without actually using it on its full potential. Great work man 🙌🏻

[@davidhenderson5051]

Finally a KZbin that can actually produce good photographs/video with the gear he reviews.... you are good man!!

[@AncientKolhapur]

Best ever....

[@divjot13]

You are a great photographer and videographer. The shots you took with z50 is remarkable. Your review is one of the most complete reviews of this camera. Subbed for life.

[@Andrew_marr]

Wow, thanks for that Divjot! So glad you enjoy the review and the images I was able to capture. I appreciate you sharing your kind words! 😀

[@thisaestheticlife]

Recently bought this excellent camera kit and also blown away at handling, quality and versatility. Love your real world review which has opened numerous possibilities on how I can get much more from this camera. Hope Nikon reward you well for showcasing the Z50 so beautifully

[@Andrew_marr]

Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the camera and your feedback on the video. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and got so much out of it as a Z50 user yourself, thanks again! :)

[@jeffrey3498]

The quality of those photos is spectacular. 📷😎👍

[@gbye007]

Love the rock pool shot and the slow mo straight after it (@ 11:59). Fantastic.

[@Andrew_marr]

That's Geoffrey, it was a beautiful evening down of the beach, the light seemed to last for ages. I was impressed with the quality of the slo-mo footage out of the Z 50

[@itsMizaa]

Finally, a review that says everything with also examples to show rather than just talking, and not to extensive on technicality... if ever this will be my first flip screen nikon

[@itsMizaa]

@Coo Koo I didn't buy a new camera yet since I bought a new phone 😅

[@itsMizaa]

@Coo Koo Still considering it. May I know why you'd ask? 😊

[@itsMizaa]

@Coo Koo I see. You have to look for a lot of cameras though, but if you already know what you want in a camera, then it's easier :)

What a powerful review. Indeed you are a professional "reviewee" I really like when you show every segment captured using nikon z50 and segments not captured using nikon z50. It makes yours better than all. That has made me to press thumb up and subscribed to your channell. ❤❤❤

[@chiefdenis]

Great field review, one of the best I've seen of the z50

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks 👍

[@SuzaideeMohdShom]

This is one of the best Z50 review 👍🏻 . Currently I'm using D750 as my main workhorse. Previously I owned D700 as my main camera and later it became my backup after I purchased the D750. I'm shooting mostly corporate portfolio, event coverage and travel. Now, I'm thinking should I get the Z50 as my backup and main camera for travel ? At first I have doubt with the kit lens, but after testing it recently I'm totally amazed by its quality and the color totally awesome

[@JessicaMacrow]

how did you go? happy with the z50 or did you go another way?

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

Interesting camera. Certainly not on my list but great info to share with others. I always get asked for camera recommendations and this is one I can recommend to the right person based on your review. Thanks Andrew.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey Miguel, as photographers that's often the question we get asked the most. This is a great camera for anyone getting into photography, I'v actually recommended it to two of my colleagues already.

[@scotty4418]

Interesting overview Andrew. As a Canon shooter, I bought the M50 as a travel camera and to slip in in the pocket to avoid taking out the 5d iv all the time, so you it was good to hear your thoughts on a similar camera. Images were impressive. Would agree, looks a good purchase for multi uses 👍

[@michaeltrue]

Thanks for the review with example of both stills and video. Spotted the Z50 in the camera store last week (picking my d810 up from the shop) and thought it would be a great second/backup and vlog setup. Seeing your review helped confirm the all around quality desired.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Michael, did you get a chance to pick one up. I like the how the camera feel small, solid, good in the hand yet light...perfect for vlogging and the quality of the footage is fantastic.

[@gregorsnell]

That Bee footage at 00:12 is amazing. The ergonomics is so important for these cameras. Is this camera sort of like the Canon M50...?

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey Greg, hope you are well mate! I suppose you could call it 'Bee-Roll' 😂. I was impressed with the 120 slow-mo that the Z 50 captured. I used the M50 and the Z 50 is definitely a step above.

[@andrewchisholm3665]

If i had the money I would buy the Z50 as a step up from my 7100 as I don't need a ff camera. I tried it out at a local camer shop and it just felt so good in my hand and the buttons were where they should be. Who knows maybe next year I will have the money to upgrade

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Andrew, I agree the camera is great in the hand, you can feel the quality. The quality of the images I captured reflected this, cheers Andrew

[@robertfleckenstein5031]

The Z50 seems to have a lot of (latitude) meaning it has very good high light and shadow detail while blogging, better than any camera I've seen used so far. But at the same time it portrays skin tones unusually to me; perhaps lighten then I'm used to. The sharpness of the camera is unmatched, perhaps even "too sharp", and I wonder how "they" do that; maybe in the operational software, the (Exceed 6)? system. If that's the case I wonder if the program can be replaced with like the (D850's). Thanks Andrew for keeping us up-to-date, and great picture taking.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Robert for watching and sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I was impressed with the dynamic range. I was capturing the footage with a relatively flat profile so to get the maximum range as I knew I was going to be recording in some harsh Perth sunlight. Note, the skin tones could be due to my colour grading. There are settings to adjust the sharpening, but I left them at the default. Keep in mind the KZbin compression that might be occurring​ :) Cheers mate!

[@robertfleckenstein5031]

@@Andrew_marr Thanks Andrew, I will keep that in mind. Please keep up the Good-Work.

[@pilsplease7561]

Expeed 6 is not software, but a system on chip cpu and other processing units in one chip. Its the actual brain of the camera doing all the tasks after the sensor builds image data.

[@robertfleckenstein5031]

@@pilsplease7561 It's a program, software written in a microprocessor.

[@WhittyPics]

It is the same sensor that is in the D500. I wonder if it has the same crop on top of crop factor in 4K? The D500 also has a tendency to clip highlights too.

[@СергейМогутов-ъ4д]

The new processor allowed 4K with full sensor readout without crop up to 30FPS. It downsamples 6K to 4K.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hi Dennis, thanks for sharing your thoughts. One of the impressive things about the Z 50 is the 4k video is with no cropping and dynamic range is great. Which could be down to the new processor.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, I agree!

[@sunking9050]

A very informative and professionally presented video. I shoot with the Z6, mainly hybrid nature shooting, and I’m looking for a lightweight backup camera that my partner can also use. I also like the idea of having a lighter weight option to my Z6 to keep in my pocket. Having seen your video I think the Z50 ticks all my boxes. I consider the Z system to be outstanding and it will only get better as more lenses are released together with new camera bodies

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Tim for leaving a comment and sharing your thoughts. I think the Z50 would serve as a great second/backup camera due to it's size and quality construction and obvious the quality of the image you can get out of the camera. I also think the Z system is outstanding and its potential has not yet been realised by the wider community.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

My Z50 kit arrives today. Looking forward to it :-) I have the Z7 already and love it.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

@Coo Koo Z50 :)

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

@Coo Koo Oh. OK. My choice would be the Z5 simply because it has all of the features or at least most of the features the higher end models have and it will give you better image quality overall.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

@Coo Koo If you do want to eventually get into professional photography, I would certainly recommend a real camera instead of a camera phone. Image quality has improved greatly with modern smart phones but they still cannot compete with the image quality of a camera with a much larger sensor like in the Z 50 or Z 5. There are a variety of reasons why learning to use a regular camera would be beneficial if you eventually want to get into professional photography. You will eventually need a high-quality camera anyway. If you have the money and you like the Z5, I would buy the Z5 kit with the 24 to 200 mm lens and maybe also the 50 mm F1.8 lines. That would give you a great start and a very flexible system, but admittedly the zoom lens will not be as good in the dark because of the variable aperture when you zoom compared to a fixed aperture zoom lens or a fixed temperature single focal length winds like a 50 mm or 35 mm. Optical quality will also be better on the prime lens is like the 35, 85 and 50 mm lenses. Also if you want to get into a professional photography it would be highly recommended to learn how to use flash like off-camera flash or even a flash unit mounted to the camera. That’s another advantage of using a real camera instead of using a smart phone.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

@Coo Koo Honestly, given your experience level and what your goals are, it might be a better choice to buy the Z 50 with both lenses and that turns out to still be cheaper than the Fuji or the full frame Nikon. The 50 mm is a great general purpose lens but I find it to be a little too tight if you want to shoot indoors or get wide views of landscapes. For a general purpose lens I would probably recommend a 35 mm instead of 50. I have the 35 mm F1.8 lens from Nikon and you can focus very closely with it and also get wider views but it’s still not as good as a 24 mm focal length for certain indoor shots or where the space is limited and you need a wider view. So in that case maybe again the Z 50 with the two lens kit makes sense. This is Z 50 gallery if you haven’t seen it yet. www.thephotographyhobbyist.com/CAMERAGEAR/Nikon-Z50-Gallery

[@annadath69]

Good review and presentation sir.

[@genghis2510]

My last upgrade was from my D90 to D500 years ago. I'm no longer upgrading to newer models. My niece whom I loaned my old but still good D90 to introduce her to DSLR photography made me see the light. She said as she fidgeted on the controls why should anyone make bulky things that only take photos. This got me thinking. She owns an apple iphone and I guess she prefers taking photos with it. I recently got the latest model and it takes superb photos. And sometimes I can't tell what took which in my PC if not for the exifs. Mobile phone imaging has improved quite a lot more than DSLRs that only brag larger pixels and larger files but image quality is not that far off.

[@Andrew_marr]

To each their own. I use my mobile camera all the time, but personally if the quality of the image mattered to me, I shoot it with a DSLR or mirrorless any day.

Is it good for landscape ? Want something that is not cumbersome and heavy to take with on my hikes. Read somewhere that some compact point and shoots are better for landscapes so I am not really sure. Great video by the way.

[@fibk]

I use it for landscape and it works like a charm.

[@wlacalle]

Thanks for the review!

[@DexterLaurence]

If the Z 50 is the only camera that you had, would you use it to do paid work, is it good enough?

[@jonglass]

My E-30 has a side-flip display, and it tilts both up and down. I have no problem with waist-levle shooting, nor holding over my head, and the tripod never gets in the way. It's not heavy, nor does it unbalance the camera (the E-30 is a monster, though, so maybe that helps). Another benefit of this is that I can flip the screen around, and place it against the body to protect it when not in use. I wish every manufacturer would offer this option. :-) That's my perspective. Other than that, this camera is a temptation away from 4:3 and m4:3 for me.

[@jeshurunroshan]

Have been using the d3300 for 6 years. Planning to migrate to the mirrorless. Will this be a boost for the gear , given d7500 is also in the same range

I am using Nikon D7200 with Nikkor 200-500mm lens. I shoot mainly wildlife. Recently I am doing a bit of vlogging also. I also have 5 other DX lenses. I am considering to buy Z50. I am mainly concerned with the autofocus. Is it as good as 7200 for still shooting. Your video is nice but it would be better if you could tell us about tracking a bird or something for still shooting. Do you recommend Z50 for my case?

I've heard one reviewer said although it seemingly has the same sensor as the D500, it's not a D500 replacement. The AF system is not on par with the D500.

Would I regret upgrading to this instead of a Z6? I have a 9 year old D5100 mind you.

[@uweinhamburg]

What lenses do you have (DX, FX)? What kind of photos do you normally shoot? If you have some DX lenses with VR the DX50 should be the logical upgrade. If you have some lenses and FX lenses, the Z6 could bring some advantages. In general fullframe should be a bit better in low light but the samples i have seen fom the Z50 look great. At the moment the third party supply for X-mount DX (lenses, batteries, grips) is poor. I'm in very similar situation to you and i will wait for a few months and see if Sigma, Tamron and Co. start to supply DX lenses for X-mount..

Hi Andrew, good to see you again. Have you tried the Z50 with any of your FX F-mount lenses? Like you, I have a range of good Nikon glass and whilst I get the benefit of the bigger Z-mount, I would have to use my F-mount lenses for a while. Do they vignette like using DX on FX?

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey Steve, great to hear from you mate. I haven't tried any of my FX lenses at I don't currently have a FTZ adapter. Having said that, you're not going to get Vignetting as the sensor is smaller. It's when you put lenses build for cropped sensors on a camera with a Full Frame sensor that you get issues, cheers Andrew

That makes sense. Would be interesting to see how they perform all the same.

Hi Andrew. Loving the vids and have subbed. I am a hill walker and looking to buy my first real camera to take short videos along with landscape and wildlife photographs. Given that they are roughly the same size, would you recommend the Nikon Z50 with the two kit lenses, or shelling out the extra on a Fuji XT-3 as being the best for my needs. I would really appreciate your expert opinions and thoughts. Many thanks and all the best, Andy.

[@patrick.991]

Thank you, great video! Watched many many reviews over the past months and this was the best for the Z50! You mentioned in a comment that you use the X-T3. Are there significant disadvantages of the Z50 compared to the Fuji? Considering the Z50 as my new camera for landscape photography with a lot of hiking (I 98% of the time shoot at higher F-stops) because of its compact size. My other option would be a bigger more expensive Z6 or Fuji X-H1.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hi Patrick, glad you enjoyed this review mate. The Z50 would be great for landscapes but I'd be tempted to look at the the new rumoured Z5 that about to come out. If the rumoured specs are anything to go on it'll be a great compared size and it's full frame, and fantastic combination! 😊

@Coo Koo Then it probably is better to buy an APS-C camera. Full frame lenses are very expensive. Take a look at Z50 and Fuji X-S10 for example

[@patrick.991]

@Coo Koo the best is Z5 but when you buy more full frame lenses for that camera it will cost a lot. 2nd best is x-s10 Z50 is also great but there aren't many lenses available at the moment. It will probably help a lot if you try them in a camera store ;)

That is a very nifty camera it can fit in a coat pocket

[@RijuHazarikaVlogs]

nice information

[@JStieloSoloPhysique1987]

Amazing video.. unfortunately.. it made my decision so much harder!!! Lol I’m stuck.. canon m50 ,canon m6 mkii, Nikon 7500 or this camera

[@chuck2703]

Buy them all.

[@HansSabastian]

@BamaBoynCali - what did you end up buying?

[@tomefira]

What did you use to film the Z50 whilst reviewing it?

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for your question, I used my X-T3 to capture the other footage.

[@nightscapeimages.richard]

Awesome review Andrew. I'd be all over this camera for video if the flip screen wasn't so darn awkward. I do like your work around however. As a Nikon Z6 shooter I can see so many similarities and they would match very well.

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Richard, it again goes to prove that everything can be fix with a trip to Bunnings. It's amazing what they've packed into this little unit, it's a Swiss army knife for vloggers and videographers, cheers mate! 👍

[@nightscapeimages.richard]

@@Andrew_marr Thanks Andrew, yes I love the look of it.

[@claudio_sergiacomo]

Hello Andrew... great video and beautiful pictures taken with the Z50... can you make a video of the Z50 using F mount lenses or Z mount full frame lenses... it will be really good to see how the camera performs with professional lenses

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks mate, really appreciate you leaving your comment. I don't currently have the FTZ adapter, but I'll see what I can do!

[@somduttasinha7564]

Thannk you for a great detail review of Z 50. I am willing to buy a camera for wildlife photography, specially for birding. Will Z50 be a good choice over D 7500 in this scenario? How the Nikkor 70-200 mm and 200-500 mm lenses will perform with FTZ adaptor in Z50? Is the focusing power of Z50 quite enough good for "bird or wild animal" tracking?

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for your feedback. I have had the opportunity to use large lenses on the Z50. I'd highly recommend going into your local camera shop and trying out this combination, so you can feel it in the hand. You could also see what the focus speed is like.

[@somduttasinha7564]

@@Andrew_marr thank you for your reply. I will try as per your guidance.

Thanks

Beautiful

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much! 👍

[@nohahlbub8387]

can I take astrophotography with Nikon z50 ???

[@Andrew_marr]

Yeah, you can capture astrophotography images with the crop sensor of the Z50, you just need a quick enough lens.

[@nohahlbub8387]

Andrew Marr thank you 🙏🏼

[@Rek-55]

No Nikon. I already bought a Fujifilm ) 7:35 genius option........

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, thanks!

[@yapboontat1675]

Hey! What photo settings do you run on the Z50?

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey Brandon, I've included the settings I've used for each photo in the video, underneath the image.

[@jtuber414]

Shooting a vlog on a tripod is just not feasible with this flip. Side flips are the best, what awkwardness is there, I don't feel at all.
