The Nikon Z50 is a HUGE Mistake

- The Nikon Z50 is the newest APS-C mirrorless camera for Nikon's Z-mount. It has 20.9 megapixels, 11 frames per second, and 4k video (full-width) at 30 FPS. That sounds GREAT, but it has a few HUGE problems. Tony Northrup tells you about them in this video.
This video is a HUGE mistake.
I usually agree with you Tony but today your arguments are BS. Sorry.
They didn't send you one did they Tony.
Turned out to be one of the best cameras ever produced by any company ever.
This video just reminded me why I quit watching Tony years ago.
The Z50 is a great DX Mirrorless body. You are totally wrong.
This is one of the best Nikon DX camera's ever made in my opinion. Even the kit lenses are really sharp. I just don't agree.
I remember I nearly didn't buy a Z6 cos of you. Thankfully I found other reviews, bought it and couldn't be happier. I do the opposite of your reviews, therefore I shall be recommending the Z50 to my father in law 👍
Well this video didn’t age well. Lol. Sorry bro.
This video is a HUGE mistake
This camera is fabulous, massively underrated. Unfortunately many TH-camrs are aligned with Sony and Canon so you don’t see this getting the praise it deserves. It’s an APS-C low light beast.
I think Nikon are doing the right thing as you can use the ff Z lenses and get a ftz adapter and use your dx lenses. Not everyone wants or needs a ff camera. I am definitely interested in buying the Z50
Hi Tony, are you really serious when you said: "I will bet that the results from the kit lens won’t even look as good as the stuff you get from the iPhone"?
Com'on man, test the Z 50 first, take photos/videos with it before you bash it into its core.
Usually I agree with you, but when I don’t, I REALLY don’t. I bet the z50 sells well and helps the Z series grow to the masses. Also, I use the fast frame rate with my Z6 and it’s fine. I don’t understand why you need to slow yours down. Must be your reliance on automatic modes. One last thing, quit judging folks who use FX glass on DX bodies while at the same time recommending the D500 200-500 f/5.6 combo. Thanks for all your hard work as always but I have to let you know when you I disagree.
Wow, Tony, you have really gone of Nikon hey. All your videos are starting to show it now. Let's remember this is a starter's to a medium camera for low-end mirrorless users. In Australia, it will cost about $1000 less than the Z6. Some of us aren't your level yet mate. Think back to when you started making awesome technical videos which were 95% fact (experience and knowledge) and 5% general feeling, they were really good videos.
Very disappointing video. I normally like the reviews, but I just cannot understand why he is so negative about this camera and Nikon lately. I think it is a brilliant move by Nikon to introduce the Z50.
Couldn't disagree more with your general overview of Nikon's decision to bring APSC into their Z mount offerings. In my opinion this move strengthens Nikon's future, by having a single unified mount for both FF and APSC in the same way f mount does. This means only Nikon and Sony have this potential " upgrade " path. Some users of FF actually purchase APSC specifically for its crop factor ( sports and wildlife in particular ) so it's not so crazy to put FF lenses onto an APSC body. The reality also is most photographers who shoot FF now, started with APSC. Now I do accept that the Z50 could have been better but really it's very competitive as it stands against Fujifilms XT30 and Canons M series, neither of which offer any upgrade path to their larger sensor format offerings. I'm thrilled that Nikon are taking this route and if anything I'm more confident about investing in Nikon in the future. Currently my main mirrorless system is Panasonic M43, my main DSLR system is Nikon FF DSLRs. Nikons mirrorless system at present isn't there yet for me to wish to invest in. I think once we get into Nikon's second gen Z mount FF & APSC where it has matured with bigger native lens selection and features such as twin card slots, IBIS in all bodies and " proper " battery grips I'll be ready to jump in knowing I'll still be able to utilise my investment in f mount Nikkor lenses until, over time, I replace them with native offerings. Well done Nikon for doing the right thing for the long term I say! Nikon are seeing the mirrorless arena from a long term perspective. They have the mount to even venture into medium format if they so wish, imagine if they could offer APSC, FF and Medium Format with a single unified lens selection. That forward thinking may not reward them in the short term but may well make them the dominant player in the camera market.😊
Hi Tony, redarding the Z6 and Z7, you said: "The Z6 and Z7 cameras need to drop down to five or six frames per second to really be effective". I disagree with your statement. Certainly, it was true before. But, since the firmware update v2.0 of May 2019, AE tracking has worked alongside continuous AF in both cameras highest-speed burst rates (up to 9fps (Z7) or 12fps (Z6)). So, basically, you absolutely do not need to drop down to 5.5fps anymore to do action photography with the Z6 or the Z7. In reality, now these cameras are really effective at 9fps or 12fps in AFC mode to shoot sport or wildlife.
Actually I like the Z mount on APS-C. Some reasons. The huge size of the Z mount and its low flange distance has one huge advantage: it will allow very fast nifty-fifty equivalent lenses to be made.
