Definite improvements in design and function in Z30, however lacking evf and perhaps slightly less quality in mic / usbc cover flaps. Users for this camera likely won't miss the EVF. Perhaps they will make a newer version adding the evf back like a higher end Z50ii with vari-angle screen someday. For now it is likely better to get Z30 for the rotating screen alone plus other features. I bought a Z30 which fits well in a cage as well, which I got, but you don't need the cage for most users. I also have kit lens plus 18-140mm for a great travel cam.

I think I’ll be able to manage without the EVF… my wife is a new gen photographer used to the iPhone…the other perks of the z30 far outweigh the evf for me and my wife

[@paulhopkins1905]

I'm not a vloger, and use my camera for photos, I'm glad I spent a bit more for the view finder

[@carlzeiss3693]

very nice vs bro!

[@omarb4824]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I just bought it mainly for photography, as a travel camera, to take on a motorbike, to support another FF camera. Also for its 12-28, unique on the market for lightness and performance.

[@wristcheck350]

Nothing crazy. It's because you are still young and healthy my friend 😊

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

Absolutely love the red video light” and improved flip screen. I own both. 🤷🏼‍♀️ have you heard any more about the Z 90 launch dates?

[@koratroll]

what memory card are you using? I heard you need a fast one to be able to record audio. would the normal 95mb/s sandisk work for 4k?

[@BVCCo7]

My Z30 overheatesd using it inside when the HDMI cable was connected when videoing. I used a dummy battery and usb c charging and it worked great. So when I moved this camera from the studio I had no overheating unless it was directly in the sun and recording would stop around 30 minute mode. The red talley light will start flashing to let you know what is going wrong. Also in the menu when you have potrait mode will inavtivate some buttons when the lcd screen is flipped to the front. At night when driving through the City of Lights iI recorded 118 minutes straight. Chopped it down to 42 minutes and it has been working like a champ. Good glass does wonders but like the Nikkor 28mm F/2.8 the best. Cheers!

[@BVCCo7]

no issues for me yet!

Hello man. I want to buy best camera with 1k budget for video recording of myself inside my room and recording some outside nature,buildings and grafitti during day. Which cameras or camera do you recommend me the most to buy? It whould be good if camera does good in a bit dark room. I don't want to buy high end phone as camera (it sucks as webcam on my pc where I have shure sm7b).

[@bondefilms]

z50 after firmware update has the same features as the z30, right?

[@martyn21358]

Nikon released a firmware update to add eye tracking in video mode

Zees are for sleeping. You're Canadian, correct? Thanks for the vid in any case. :-)

[@BVCCo7]

gotta talk to my audience ;)

[@HistoryofLies-d8v]

Interesting that it took this long to catch up to an a6400...minus the evf but I am considering one just because they are cheaper than an a6400 on the used market while being in better condition. That should tell you all you need to know about what the market thinks about the products. You can prefer the Z30/50 but still hard to beat real time AF from Sony in E10,E1, a6600/64/61/6700. All in all a quality product whose price has dropped considerably in one year while Sony a6400 plodding along at same price as when released.

[@BVCCo7]

Who cares what the market thinks, get what suits your needs fam.

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

Have you got any overheating issues while using USB charging and using the camera simultaneously. Thanks 🙏

[@HtetMyatSoe-nk6lj]

Can someone recommend me a len for photography Z30? with normal prices

[@paulhopkins1905]

I've been running a 35mm and 50mm AF-S f:1.8. They are both great, and dirt cheap if you have an FTZ

[@Wolfgarde83]

I wish you could get both the articulating screen AND the viewfinder in an entry level model.

[@jonathantrice7614]

You can with Panasonic G80/G100

[@jakub.slovacek]

Hi. Thanks, you are addressing my last comment! I'm looking forward for the video. Hope there will be screen recording and differences between Z30 and Z50.

[@Theghost_pov_dm]

Z30 mirrorless top 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@fthprodphoto-video5357]

Thanks 🙏 does the Z30 have a mechanical shutter or is it fully electronic?

[@TheMrJoltz]

Mechanical, it uses an electronic shutter for silent mode.

[@TreenighetMaranata]

Z30 sounds good to me, thanks! 🤗❤😊

[@donvittoriosierra]

Z30 is a really cool camera. Only downside is the limited lens selection... especially if we are talking about budget options matching the price of this body.

[@devilangel4655]

Have you ever used a dummy battery with the Z50? Does that change the recording time?

shouldn't change

thanks man

Is it possible to hook up headphones to the z30? Via the USB-c? Looking to use this to record video sporting events as well as vlogging, any reservations?

[@BVCCo7]

not sure but there's workarounds with HDMI and vga adapter that I've used with my Sony a6500

@@BVCCo7 Could you explain more? So you use a mini hdmi to mic dongle?

"Basically unlimited recording time, depending on how fast your battery runs down". I just purchased the Z30 a few days ago and i was shocked at how little recording time you get from this camera, 4K about 30 minutes (if you are lucky) 1080p 120 a little better, obvious 1080p at 60, 30 and 24 are going to give you more recording time, but even at 1080p 60 i was getting the red battery low indicator (last bar) after about 30 minutes of recording a few clips. Another thing that bothers me about this camera is the charging time, depending on what you read, it can be anywhere between 6 hours and 7 and half hours to recharge a battery through your PC with the USB cable that Nikon gives you (USB C to USB A) because obviously you dont even get a battery charger with this camera. I really like this camera and i understand (now) that battery life is a real issue with mirrorless camera's, however the i did not expect to have to also purchase a dummy battery just so i can actually use the camera for blogging without the camera over heating and turning off and also paying for 8 more batteries to be able to record more than 30 minutes of 4K or one hour at 1080p (apparently) right now i al looking at buying a powerbank and a decent USB C to USB C cable to use instead of the power hungry batteries this camera gives you.

[@BVCCo7]

I get 2 hr 4k recording time at least.. what size memory card?

[@koolkans100]

Hello, I want a camera for casual photography and for family vacation. For that, the Z30 seems to be the perfect one. But lateral i may want to explore more amateur wildlife photography and maybe even astrography. So, considering that do you think i will be missing the EVF for serious photography? Should I get the Z50 in that case? Note: i am not a Vlogger or content creator. But i have not used a camera for more than 10 years now. Using only my smart phone.

[@janpamua7714]

It depends , if you are not used to evf u don't need it, it is good to have as a future proof feature , for wildlife DSLR might be better because of faster AF and cheap long focal length lenses , would recommend d3500 or previous d3000 cameras that are very light , cheap have pretty good kit lenses, and they have something that many people forget :flash which is very useful even in daylight for filing out shadows. In short DSLR for wildlife,z50 future proof , z30 casual .
