There are cameras for photographers, and then there are cameras for pre-photographers. The Nikon Z 50, Nikon’s smallest DX camera yet and first APS-C mirrorless camera, falls largely into the second category. Marketed towards Instagram users ready to upgrade from a smartphone, the Z 50 incorporates in-camera video editing and wireless video transfer while keeping to a design that channels an entry-level DSLR. But the Z 50 also launches with a built-in audience — casual Nikonographers with a stash of F-mount lenses that can be easily adapted to the mirrorless Z mount. Lacking the in-body stabilization of the full-frame Z 6 and Z 7, the Z 50 makes up for its shorter feature list with a lightweight, 14-ounce body and a tiny kit lens. After the failed Nikon 1 series, it’s good to see Nikon putting some real effort into a mirrorless camera that targets casual photographers. It’s not perfect, but the Z 50 does a lot right. The Z 50 ditches some of the high-end features of the Z 6 and Z 7, li...

Weather-sealed, ergonomic design; Excellent image quality; 11 fps burst speed; Wireless video transfers;

Autofocus struggles in low light; Few native DX lenses at launch;

With the Z 50 ($859.95), Nikon is putting the mirrorless technology developed for pricier full-frame bodies into a more portable—and more affordable—camera, built around the DX (APS-C) sensor format. It drops some features, notably in-body stabilization, but still offers an outstanding viewfinder, wide autofocus coverage, and 4K recording. Its autofocus system isn't quite as advanced as similar cameras from Fujifilm and Sony, though, and there are fewer dedicated mirrorless lenses available for the Z 50, so it's more appealing to photographers already invested in Nikon equipment, or family photographers who don't need loads of lenses. Nikon's First DX Mirrorless The Z 50 matches the looks of its full-frame siblings, with a prominent EVF hump on the top and Nikon's iconic red stripe on the handgrip. But, despite sharing the same wide-diameter lens mount, it's smaller all around. It comes in at 3.7 by 5.0 by 2.4 inches (HWD) and 13.9 ounces—the full-frame Z 6 is 4.0 by 5.3 by 2.7 i...

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

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

No Sensor shift Image Stabilization, Low Battery Life: 320 shots

The Nikon Z 50 is great for landscape photography. Image quality is impressive, with excellent dynamic range to bring out more highlight and shadow detail. There isn't too much noise at higher ISO settings, so it performs okay in low light.

Great image quality., Comfortable to operate., Well-built and weather-sealed.

Not the most portable option., Mediocre battery performance.

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

The Nikon Z50 has hit the ground running, so to speak, with a camera body that has excellent ergonomics, a solid design, great handling, and easy to access settings. The body is compact, giving you the benefits of a mirrorless camera system, but not too compact, and not at the expense of handling...

Excellent ergonomics and handling, Excellent image quality and noise performance, New DX Z-Mount lenses perform well, Compact camera body, Clear logical menu system (more advanced section is colour coded), Fast continuous shooting, 4K UHD video with multiple options

Limited APS-C Z mount lenses so far, Doesn't feature in-camera image stabilisation, MicroUSB socket

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features
