Z50II

As an advanced photographer with several Nikon cameras and high end lenses I was wanting something that was more compact and equal to my D7500 which broke. I wasn’t even considering the Z50ii I was looking at the Zfc for a modern asp-c camera but the camera shop that I use had the Z50ii dual lens kit in stock I spent an hour himming and hawing about if I should buy it or not but I’m glad I did. The camera has preformed better than expected I only took less than 100 shots with this set up and I was very impressed on image quality, the light weight and compact ability of this camera. The features are of the same operation of all the other Nikon cameras so transitioning from from the Z8 to Z5 and Z5Ii to the Z50ii was very easy. I wanted to hate this camera but I can’t I really like it and for just a quick grab camera for a short trip it’s perfect. The only thing that is a small annoyance about the Z50ii like the Z5Ii is the articulating screen me personally I am not a fan of it I actually like flip out screen on the Z5 but to each their own and it’s annoyance not a deal breaker. If you are on the fence about the Z50ii it’s well worth the money and it’s not a just an entry level camera this camera is great no matter what level of photography you are at.

This is my opinion as an intermediate photographer:I just got my z50ll and I love it!It is more user friendly than the z30 I had and by that I mean, it has a viewfinder, on camera flash and the ability to use an off camera flash. It stacks, yes, stacks, and has so many other features. I also have a z6 II and the z50 II does as much as the z6 II. Image quality is about the same as the z6 II. I have been able to print large 16x22 images. I shoot in raw, using the manual setting.What I don't like is battery life but that can be solved by purchasing additional batteries.

Easy to use, lightweight, great for travel. Sharp pictures.

1st full size digital since using 35mm film. Body has a good feel and has been easy to learn the basics.

I bought this camera, along with a Nikkor 28-400, for my wife who wanted a compact, lighter weight kit that could still reach out for bird photography. So far it is working out very well and she likes it and the lens, even at f/8, is producing excellent images.

I've been using Nikon cameras since my first F-2 and now shoot mostly landscape and wildlife photos. My current cameras are the Z-6ii and Z-7ii, however I'm now74 years old and it's hard for me to hold that equipment. I will also use a Z50 occasionally. When the Z18-140 was introduced, I decided to upgrade the Z-50 also. Living in Wisconsin the Z50ii has not seen much use yet but with the little use it's seen I sure like the upgrades and glad that it I bought it.

Seriously an a underated camera, thanks for releasing this Nikon.

I love it! It’s lightweight and you get Nikon’s typical amazing image quality! The focus is much faster than on the original Z 50. Perfect for every day or travel.

I’ve been a Nikon user for several years and own both a DSLR (D500) and Mirrorless Z6II. The Z50II exceeded my expectations - I have put it to the test in many aspects, using my F and Z lenses in a variety of shooting situations and I am quite impressed. I also purchased two “kit” lenses along with it to complete the package. Of course it has certain limitations compared to my crop D500 but it also has an outstanding processor and video capabilities. I can see why photography/videography enthusiasts would benefit from owning this little jewel.
