Z 30

So far I have no complaints, but I am still working my way through it. I am about to start to see how well it attaches to my computer, mixing with my recording software.

I've been using the Nikon z30 since November of 2022 for content production. With this camera, I have been able to successfully turn content production into a full time career. It is simple to use, has wonderful camera and audio quality and the flip screen is what makes it all too perfect for solo content. My only complaint would be the battery quality that drains quickly. Obviously, my batteries are a little older and thus need replacing but about 6 month after beginning use of this z30, I had to buy two additional batteries. In 4k mode, the camera overheats after 30 minutes of use so plan properly for longer content at 4k quality.

Coming from someone who used the Zfc heavily, the Z30 is such a refreshing change in a sense that the grip feels nice in the hands, and more lighter and convenient when it comes to shooting videos in a stressful/fast-paced job! I highly recommend.

Mine is a bit unusual for a Z30 review. I love street photography and a light, small camera is perfect for the stills I take on the street. I already own the super excellent Nikon Z8 but it is a bit large and the Z lenses for it are also large. My Z30, with its small 16-50 zoom or 24mm prime lenses, is less than half the size and weight of my Z8. The iPhone that is always with me has made me a fan of composing on a screen rather than a viewfinder, so the Z30 works well for me. Its adjustable screen brightness and excellent autofocus make it a quick and light workhourse for my street photos.

Basic functions, amazing results. All the bells and whistles removed so the power of the world thru the lens is out of this world.

Nearly a year and a half later, a bit of school, a lot of online research, and a pile of parts later. This thing is rigged out to get some of the best videos I could have asked for. While heat can be an issue, lens options are thin for the relative cost of the camera body, and features on comparable cameras may be lacking. This camera will help you get better at film and photo.
