Z50 + Z DX 16-50mm + Z DX 50-250mm Mirrorless Camera Kit (209-point Hybrid AF, High speed image processing, 4K UHD movies, High Resolution LCD Monitor) VOA050K002

Being a professional, I have Full Frame (Nikon) APS-C (Nikon) and M4/3 (Olympus) systems, dedicated for different purposes. This Nikon Z50 APS-C combination hits a sweet spot in performance and mobility and - at its ridiculous price when purchased - astounding value for money. The camera is simple, ergonomically excellent, rugged and offers excellent IQ with notable high-ISO performance; I can routinely use at ISO 800 or above with minimal or no noise penalty. It's very nearly as good as my Z6. Excellent! This is all a result of not pimping the pixel count; 20MP is more than enough for the vast majority of shooting circumstances. The 16-50 is a little revelation - superb and consistent IQ in a ridiculously, tiny package; it's equivalent would be the 24-70 F4 Z Nikkor in Nikon Z FF and the 12-32 F3.5/5.6 in M4/3. I love it. The 50-250 is less startling, although it's still very compact for what it offers in range. I prefer a Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR here, with FTZ adaptor - although it's bigger and more expensive, the IQ difference is notable, especially at the tele end of things. But don't get me wrong, the kit tele lens is still a little sweetie. So, what's not to like? In a word, lens selection and no IBIS. The two kit lenses are excellent and fulfill 95% of shooting situations. However, they're both slow and - even with effective in-lens IS - I miss the Z50s lack of IBIS. Plus the lens selection sucks right now. The two you get is all there is. Nothing fast, nothing wide and nothing more without the FTZ adaptor. A 10-20 equivalent, quality mid-range zoom and fast primes would kill on this body. So where are they, Nikon? Only a 18-140 travel zoom is on the road map, and that's simply not good enough. Please don't repeat the F-mount DX fiasco and take decades to produce a decent range of crop-frame glass! Pretty please? Oh, and you have to get 3rd party lens hoods; there's nothing in the kit. Boo. Addendum (1/10). I have subsequently done some more optical tests comparing the 50-250 DX Z and Nikkor 70-300E f/4.5-5.6E ED VR (FX). My conclusion is that the difference in image quality is not that great. The latter is bigger, heavier and more expensive, as well as adding an extra bit of reach. The kit lens holds its own over much of the shared range, although it's a tad slower, benefits from stopping down where possible, and isn't too convincing past 200mm. But it wins big-time or size, weight, portability and balance. Nice.

This is a lovely little camera and so light. Quality of pictures are superb. Only problem was instructions was in Japanese.

As a semiprofessional photographer I needed a camera that offered the advantages of the DX angle of you for some of my work. I already use the Z6 series, but I found this camera to be absolutely excellent for professional work as a carry around camera for days out. It’s light, functional, sharp, in fact, a perfect camera for travel when you don’t want to lug around other professional kit. Having said that this is not a professional camera and should not be seen as one. I very much doubt it’s whether sealing would hold out in heavy rain or it will be very durable in dusty or sandy conditions. For that you need something like the D series camera or the Z6/Z7. I would however strongly recommend this camera with this complete kit of two lenses. You can also fit the lens mount adapter for this camera and use your F Mount lenses other lenses so you can get the extra reach the DX.

I have no plans for a full DPReview of this camera - you wouldn’t expect me to either I think - so I’ll cover a couple of points that are not covered elsewhere. First - the companion app is Nikon SnapBridge. WMU won’t work for this camera but you will need WMU for other cameras, even as recent as the D750. Pairing this in SnapBridge is not difficult but it looks like it doesn’t work at first - what you have to do is follow the instructions and when the Select Accessory dialog opens on your phone you have to WAIT until the camera appears and that can take 1-2 minutes. Check the firmware is up to date - there may well be a new one as it is changing quickly. In use the camera handles well, the pancake lens is tiny and the camera would almost fit in a pocket with that lens on. The long lens is nice too - though neither one is super-wide aperture and there will be better lenses, but they are the only DX z-mount lenses at the moment. But then 16mm - 250mm is a good range!

I liked the lenses that came with the camera and the size of the body. It is a nice light system. I have had Nikon cameras for years so when I wanted to go mirrorless I chose Nikon again. My disappointment comes with not being able to buy spare batteries. The batteries are obviously being manufactured but you can only access them if you buy a camera! Having only one battery Not good for travelling where you may not be able to charge every day. The other problem is that the battery cover has fallen off and been lost twice in as many months. It never happened with my other Nikon kit so I feel that this has not been well designed. I wish I hadn't stuck with Nikon. They seem to be flogging cameras without the support or spares. Update: 10 months later and I still regret getting this camera. There are still no batteries available and I had to buy a battery pack to be able to charge when out and about (instead of swapping batteries.) frustrating.

This is the second D50 that I have owned. The previous one I traded in during a misguided attempt to rationalise my kit (I also have a Z6 m 2, a Z6m3, Canon R8 and a ton of lenses), The Nikon Z50 is unmatched; a wonderfully compact, light, beautifully designed camera that can do (almost) everything its bigger full frame brothers can. The only thing missing was fast lenses and Nikon sorted that problem out less than a year ago.

Excellent photo quality with the kit lenses and not difficult to understand functions. The only disappointing downside I’ve found is I’ve had very little success in connecting to my iPhone by Bluetooth or WiFi with Nikon SnapBridge which is one of the features for which I purchased the camera

Great camera, compact and easy to carry around. I find the auto focus a little hard to get used to but I'll get there. Not many lenses to buy, I mainly use a 10 - 20 mm zoom and had to buy the adapter to use my old lenses and I find it a bit heavy and longer than I would have liked. But, in saying all that it is a lovely camera to use.

Producto excelente, sin problemas

Good

Avevo preso una Panasonic G90, non mi aveva per niente convinto l’auto focus e forse fin troppi comandi nel menù. Ho optato quindi per questa Z50, soprattutto perché per le foto e la fotografia che piace a me, l’ho presa con incluso nel kit, con obiettivo 50-250 VR. Avevo paura che sarei incappato in problematiche analoghe, che in generale una mirrorless non mi avrebbe soddisfatto come la mia vecchia ma cara reflex Canon 600D Invece mi sono ricreduto, con questa Nikon, ho tutta la qualità che avevo con una reflex, mirino fantastico, ciò che fotografo è cio che vedo quindi resa fedelissima. Ho quindi a vantaggio un minor peso, caratteristiche più avanzate e rinnovate!! Sono rimasto felicissimo. Inoltre ho acquistato oltre gli obiettivi del kit, un 24mm fisso con apertura 1.7 e che dire….tutto eccezionale!!! Non ve ne pentirete per niente, l’ho preferita persino ad una Sony Alpha che non qualche sconto o meno il prezzo era simile. Ultima cosa, gli obiettivi e/o la messa a fuoco li ho trovati veloci e reattivi

Ürünle beraber objektifler gelmediği için değişim istedim. Değişimde de aynı şekilde geldi. İade talebi oluşturdum. Alacakların bilgisine

Appareil de qualité mais restant à un prix raisonnable et pas trop volumineux
