The best of the Nikon Z50

This mirrorless camera stands out for its design, with a comfortable handle with good grip and well-organized and well-sized dials, which is an important point for mirrorless cameras that sometimes in their small size do not quite find the balance between good grip and size in their designs. In addition, it is made of magnesium alloy which makes it robust and resistant.

Also noteworthy is its folding and touch screen, very useful for getting the most out of creativity in your frames or taking self-portraits with your friends or family, as well as its electronic viewfinder that you can configure to show you the real scene or to preview the result of the photograph.

In terms of image quality, the processor and sensor do a good job and offer us a camera with good dynamic range and good response to high ISOs. It is also fast and effective in focusing.

It is also very useful to have WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity, ideal for sharing your images immediately, without cables or controlling it through your mobile phone.

In short, a very complete camera that has all the features of a mid-range camera, well built, moderate in weight and size, and with very good results in terms of image quality.

Worst

We already know that nothing is perfect. The important thing is that the camera you have or are looking for is perfect for you 😉

Like all of them, this Nikon Z 50 has some buts:

• At the moment, it has very little offer when it comes to specific objectives. While it is true that you can get a Nikon F-series FTZ adapter for APS-C cameras and it works fine.
• It does not have a stabilizer in the body. This job is left to the targets.
• The battery lasts about 320 photos, which is not too much.

Wow with what this little girl can do with this small selection of images 😉

In short, this camera is ideal for amateur photographers who are starting out in the world of photography but who do not want a camera that will fall short in a short time, who value image quality, portability, the foldable touch screen, recording 4K video or WIFI connection.

It is also ideal for users with photographic knowledge who are looking for a light and well-built camera and even as a light and portable second body to which you can add Nikon F-series lenses if you already have them.

A camera to which, for a low price, you can add two lenses that, although they are not very bright, it is true that for their price they are not bad at all to start with: NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR and the NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR.

What do you think of this one without a mirror? Could it be your ideal camera? could it be someone you know? Then do not hesitate to share this review so that more people who may be interested in this Nikon Z 50 can solve their doubts 🙂 . Thank you and see you next time.
