Z50II

What a capable camera. Hard to believe this was my budget selection. Still learning all of the menu items. It seems there is nothing you can’t control. Already gone on a MACRO shoot. Looking forward to exploring the black and white capabilities. Plenty of picked. Great companion to my Nikon 7500. Sharing lenses with the FTZ Adapter. I purchased the two lens kit. Great verity of available lenses.

Surprisingly excellent camera. Kit lenses are quite sharp and auto focus is accurate. I bought this as a lightweight yet capable system to avoid having to carry my D750 everywhere. Turns out it's almost a true replacement for my trusty old full frame dslr which was very surprising to me. The kit lenses are lightweight with excellent VR. The whole system makes it insanely easy to get excellent quality photos with ease.

Bought just a week ago, I wanted to do animal photography mainly and for now I'm delighted. I now have to familiarize myself with all the possibilities of the camera, including the DX 16-50mm and DX 50-250mm lenses.

I love this Camera!!! Good for beginners.

Why I bought it: after recovering from shoulder surgery l decided to buy the lightest camera + lens combo I could find. Being an enthusiast bird photographer usually means heavy gear and I needed something I could take on a long walk around the lake for a couple of hours. The solution: Nikon Z50ii + Nikkor 400mm f/4.5 Prime+ 1.4TC. This kit came in under $ 5,000, and under 5lbs. This little camera is capable, highly customizable and easy to love. What I like: the price!, it acquires focus fast, and it sticks to it, subject detection, 3D, Pre-Capture, up to 30 fps on jpg, easy access to shortcut "i" menu, good grip and easy on smaller hands, more features than I'll ever need, 3 User modes - birds in flight, perched birds, slow moving birds.What I don't like: very short battery life (probably a compromise for its light weight), only one card slot, no IBIS, no weather sealing, flimsy camera strap (I replaced it with a Peak Design)Overall, Nikon delivered a good product for the price point and I am using it every day.

This camera was purchased by me as a gift for my granddaughter. When I tested it upon receipt I knew I made an excellent decision. I visited her this past weekend. She tested it along with the 2 lenses and was thrilled. I have the Z8 which is more weighty ( I am 93 yrs so it is a factor.) but something like this product could be in my future as a walkaround to fit in my pocket. Light weight products that have terrific features make a lot of sense. She loves it.

Love this little camera. It takes fantastic pictures, it has everything a pro camera, but its light weight makes it superior. I highly recommend this for most photographers you’ll get the same results in most situations.

Great little camera. I own a z9 and d850. Both are very heavy. Getting older I sometimes just need something to throw in a backpack or even just in the car. This camera fits that bill. But I didn't expect it to be a baby z8. Or even a d500 replacement. It's pretty close. It does everything I need for whatever I choose to do. It's Even a half stop better at high iso than my d500 was and it's the same sensor as that camera. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the big boys and I dont always need that. This is just a great little camera. Buy it before Nikon figures out they priced it to low. lol!

I've had the Z50II for about two weeks. So far, it's an impressive camera. I own the Z7II and the Zf, so coming from older generation camera (Z7II) and the current generation camera(Zf), the Z50II resembles much like the Zf in terms of performance. The image quality is fantastic. Mostly no one will be disappointed with it. The Z50II autofocus system is a great improvement over the Z50 with speed and accuracy. The autofocus system with 3D tracking works quite well when capturing my children and cats.This camera is lightweight and small, making it easier to travel or simply to carry it with you. With an F to Z adapter, I adapted the 35mm f1.8g DX and 50mm f1.8g to this camera and works with no issues. The grip is deep for such a small camera, it is very comfortable to hold. The button layout is more in line with the newer Z5II and the Z6III, which is different from my Z7II and Zf, so I'm getting adjusted to it. I love the articulating screen for the camera body. The one thing that is missing for this camera is IBIS. I shoot mostly with prime lenses and none of them have the Vibration Reduction (VR) built into the lenses. The kit lenses perform well, but I want larger apertures for my lenses. I know adding IBIS to this camera would make it more expensive to purchase, but if Nikon were to add it or have a different APS-C camera body with it, it would make this camera even better than it is. Overall, I'm happy with the improvements of the Z50II. If anyone is still using a DSLR camera, the Z50II is a great way to enter in the mirrorless system. You can purchase a F to Z adapter as an option to continue to use your F mount lenses with this camera. It is also great for a 2nd camera body, or in my case, a 3rd. If you travel and want a compact camera kit to take, this camera is a great choice for it.
