Z 30

Still learning all the features. I love the small, light but solid feel of this camera. It fits in a small fishing shoulder bag and meets my need for a camera I can carry everywhere.

I'm giving the z30 five stars because of its value. I recently bought my second z30 directly from Nikon because of the ease of shooting video. What has surprised me is the utility and quality as an additional camera for still photos as well. My primary camera is still the d850, but the z30 as a companion for video clips and some still applications. I wanted to stay within the Nikon menu system which I have become familiar with over years and investigate the mirrorless platform. The video is almost as easy as using a smartphone but with a lot more options and quality.

I just bought a Z30 with a Z DX 24mm F1.7 lens. This is now my "Daily Carry" camera. I use it for less important events as well. I do own a Z8 for my professional stuff. It's refreshing just how small/light the Z30. I love everything about it. I do wish it had IBIS, however. Outside of that, it's essentially perfect for a smaller, lighter camera.

The Z30 is perfect for my purposes. I use a Z8 and a Z9 body for my wildlife still photography. I wanted to add video capability for behind the scenes, group activities and some wildlife moments while still having my full frame bodies available and set-up for nature. The Z30 can come along on even the most weight restricted trips. It fits in a jacket pocket without getting in the way of my main kit. Best of all, for someone with limited video experience it was amazingly easy to learn and use. A just right fit for my needs.

I like the camera however, I have not been able to figure out how to connect to my iPhone via Bluetooth or WiFi. I have spent hours trying to figure it out.

I got a refurbished Z30 this past year. I like it a lot and have the Nikon DX 12-28 lens attached.I would have given it 5 stars but I cannot charge the battery when it is in the camera using the correct connection cord. So I bought a plug in charger from B&H and I can now remove the battery and charge the battery.I like the fold out screen but I wish it had a viewfinder, maybe the Z30 II will have one. I do like the fact it has a hot shoe and I can attach my Nikon SB 900, it takes wonderful fill flash images.I also own several Nikon DSLR cameras and the Z8 with several telephoto primes.

Wonderful little camera for both stills and video, both as the only camera I carry to go extra light, and as a second or backup camera as well. Very good eye detection, and while I do have an external microphone, the sound quality of the built-in microphones is quite good for spur of the moment videos. Far more capable, with far more menu options, than might be expected for such a small, affordable, portable body.

The Z 30 fits its description. I am happy to own another Nikon camera. It has a wide range of settings from fully auto through a number of selections one can make oneself, up to fully manual also. Around home, at events or when travelling it has quality features and is very useful.

A beauitifuil camera to compliment my Z 7ii.There are more menu features in this compact beautuy it behoves me to use them all but I will.Its so small I dont mind having it with me all the time and the quality of the videos is suberb. Thuen the stills are also excellent.I have at times missed the viewfinder but not often. Maybe with a firmware uipdate someone can have an addition to the hot shoe that mimics one.
