![]() Also note the impossibility of placing a grip, an LCD screen resolution twice as low as the Z6/Z7 and the non-detection of eyes in video. The resolution of the sensor appears a little low (only 20.9MP), it is not stabilized, the viewfinder resolution is smaller (2.36MP against 3.6MP for the Z6/Z7), a single slot positioned under the camera body, a maximum shutter speed limited to 1/4000 and a smaller number of AF points. Of course, it is not in the same range as full-frame mirrorless Nikon cameras. Its autofocus is also considered to be very responsive, it has a good burst rate, no low-pass filter and the same sensor as the Z6/Z7 (and Mark II), the BSI CMOS. In addition to a very reasonable price, the Z50 is compact and lightweight (395g) compared to the Z6 and Z7. For speeds up to 120i/s, you’ll have to turn to FHD. As for video, the Z50 offers 4K/UHD limited to 30p. The autonomy of this camera is almost identical to the Nikon Z6, which is about 300 shots. No USB-C here, nor even a headphone jack. For connectors, there is a microphone jack, a micro USB and micro HDMI jack. Nikon has chosen to place a single SD UHS-I port under the camera. Regarding photographic characteristics, this camera features a 20.9mpx sensor, an ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to 51200 ISO, a burst rate allowing to shoot 11 frames per second in RAW, a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 and 209 focusing points. This body is noted as tropicalized, therefore weatherproof. ![]() This may discourage some people, but we do understand that Nikon wanted to do without certain technologies to be able to offer an affordable camera. However, note that this is the only Nikon Z mirrorless camera without a stabilized sensor. I won’t explain again the importance of the low pass filter, as you can refer to the dedicated paragraph in my article on Nikon mirrorless full-frame cameras. The first interesting thing to point out is the fact that this camera is built without a low-pass filter, like the Z7/Z7 II – favorite full-frame mirrorless cameras for photography at Nikon. While Nikon has offered some interesting video features on the Z6 and Z7 cameras, the Z50 is clearly more photo oriented. Here’s a quick tour of the Z50’s technical specifications. Canon has just announced the release of their first two Canon RF APS-C cameras. If you’re still hesitating about making the leap into the world of mirrorless cameras, it might be worth looking at what other brands are proposing. ![]() This is the third camera to use this Z-mount Summer 2022, in order to further expand its range and to focus on young content creators starting out, the brand released a new APS-C sensor mirrorless camera: the Nikon Z30. The Z50 is now in such a position it can challenge its competitors that have already been in place for some time, such as Fujifilm’s XT-30 or the Canon EOS M6 Mark II. But let’s see together what the Z50 offers and the differences with the other mirrorless cameras of the brand, as well as what Nikon rather skipped over to be able to offer a camera with a good quality/price ratio. ![]() As you probably already know, I am not in the habit of detailing in depth every technical feature of a body. ![]() In the summer of 2021, Nikon released a new camera, the Nikon Z Fc. Nikon is keen to expand its new mirrorless camera ecosystem with this APS-C camera using Z-mount lenses (although the choice of lenses dedicated to the APS-C is more than limited at the moment). Unlike the Z6 & Z7 which are equipped with a full-frame sensor, this entry-level camera uses an APS-C sensor. In fall 2018, Nikon followed suit these new full frame cameras (Nikon Z6 & Z7) and offered a new camera with a more modest sensor size, using the new Z-mount: the Z50. If you are still hesitating for your purchase, I invite you to have a look at the page listing all the Nikon Z lenses available (both for APS-C and FF). This article will obviously be updated when Nikon will offer other mirrorless APS-C cameras. At the time of writing this page, Nikon is currently offering only two APS-C mirrorless camera using the new Z-mount, the Z50, and the Z Fc, with the same mount as the FF mirrorless of the brand. Today, we are going to talk about another range of cameras proposed by Nikon, the APS-C mirrorless cameras. For those of you following us on this blog, you probably didn’t miss the last article I wrote about the Nikon mirorrless full-frame mirrorless camera using the new Nikon Z mount. ![]()
