The Z50 is a nice little camera that is fun to use and surprisingly capable. Its control layout will be familiar to photographers who already use Nikon DSLRs.

First introduced in October 2019 , Nikon Z50 is a 21.0MP Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor, Tilting touch screen and Nikon Z lens mount.

The Nikon Z 50 is a good mirrorless camera with a lot of appeal to photographers already invested in the system, but isn't quite as capable as its rivals.

Light and compact; Big, crisp EVF; Speedy response; 11fps continuous drive; Strong 4K video quality; Built-in flash; Compatible with Nikon SLR lenses via adapter.

Few native lenses; Subject tracking not as good as competitors; Touch features could be more robust; Lowest resolution in class; Selfie screen design is a little awkward.

In as many ways as we can quantify, the Nikon Z50 is an incredible camera. Its drawbacks lie in the areas that are more difficult to measure, such as the overall value when considering the whole system investment, including available native lenses.

Incredible Photo & Video Image Quality, Impressive Durability, Familiar & Intuitive Ergonomics, Compact & Lightweight

Autofocus is better than Nikon DX DSLRs, but behind some competing mirrorless options, Battery life & in-camera charging leaves something to be desired, Native DX Z-mount lens selection is limited

The Z50 is Nikon’s latest effort at winning over users in the mirrorless camera market, after the now-defunct N1 and the groundbreaking Z6 and Z7 from last year.

In November 2019, the Nikon Z50 debuted as an entry-level mirrorless camera for beginners. It is the first crop-sensor (DX)...

Flip-down LCD blocks tripod mount, No in-body image stabilization, Modest battery life, Limited lens options

Nikon shows why not everyone needs a professional camera with the successful Nikon Z50.

Very good picture and video quality (4K), complete ergonomics, compact and light, fast autofocus and good shooting pace.

Lacks image stabilizer, imprecise tracking focus, multiple touch focus, moderate brightness on the kit zoom.

The Z50 is one of the best APS-C cameras out there offering a multitude of the pro-level features introduced on the Z6 and 7, at a fraction of the price.

Excellent handling; Good dynamic range; Decent value

Not particularly high resolution

Available at a great price and with lots to like - including build quality, handling, a very usable screen and viewfinder - the Z50 might be the new kid on the APS-C mirrorless block, but it’s easily one of the best out there.

Great handling; Attractively priced; Excellent image quality

Tilting screen mechanism no good for tripod mounting; Only a single UHS-I card slot; No joystick for selecting AF points
