Its too complicated. Even in Auto modes im not getting anything I can use. My Iphone take’s better pictures and video. I bought this camera to step up from the phone. I asked the store that sold it to me for help and they weren’t any help. I contacted Nikon and they said watch their videos. Im really just guessing on how to get this camera to make better videos. I can’t find anyone to pay to help me.

I made the switch to mirror less about a year ago when I traded my D7500 for a Z50. I just purchased this camera as a companion to my z50. It's billed as a "content creator's" camera but I find it to be a very, very capable stills camera as well. It's great for travel, hiking and any other time that you need lightweight gear...

Awesome camera learning everyday can't wait to get really good and buy more lenses stop

Well,. I am a professional photographer who owns Canon camera and bought this while thinking it would help me do some 4K video works. It became my main camera and light weight. I like that I can shoot in handheld without any worry

I own three Nikon Z bodies. The latest edition was the Z30. I switched from Olympus to the Z5 because of the eye detection. I mainly photograph people and at the time I couldn't get that with my Olympus. When the Z30 came out, everyone raved about the video abilities. But I am a still photographer, and wanted/needed/desired a small body that could always be with me. I was quite used to using just the LCD for focusing and composing. The added advantage to me was that the Z30 takes the same battery as my Z50 and of course all the same lenses. I love my Z Kit - Z30, Z50 and Z5... I bought this when it first came available directly from Nikon... and I haven't looked back!

It does overheat in warm temps. About 45 minutes in recording internally or just for HDMI out it will shut down not off but you have to hit the shutter button to wake it up. Warm to the touch on the bottom of the camera. Everything else is excellent. Reminds me of the Z50 without an EVF but has usb c for charging and keeping the camera going while streaming without much battery loss. As I wrote above it will overheat. Wish their was a warning like the Canon R7 with a temperature gauge.

Overall, it's a great starter camera for stills and video. I'm really happy with my purchase and I'm learning a lot about film making and photography because of this camera!

The Z 30 is a blast while filling an essential hole in my kit. Needing that small body that can do BTS video without having an assistant has been a quest. The Z 30 does it perfectly!

Well,.I am a professional photographer who owns another camera and bought this while thinking it would help me do some video works. But as soon as I bought it, it became my main camera because Its light weight and clear result attracted me to do all kind of works. Also i like that i can shoot in any low light without pixalate with this camera.
