Nikon really did something great with the z50 for $850, I prefer the quality in your video of the z50, colors, stabilization, and sharpness. The FOV of the kit lens is better for vlogging.
9:47 Interesting note. I'll check that out. Just got my Z50 yesterday (since i love my Z7 so much after a year of use, decided to get a Z50 too). I wonder why they don't let AF-C work in that mode. Seems like a mistake/bad idea.
I have a Sony a6400. I chose Sony in 2015 as an upgrade from Olympus M4/3 for one reason only - ergonomic grip. My Olympus had no grip at all and was very unpleasant to use. At that time, Sony was really the best APS-C option in many ways. A few months ago I got a Nikon P950 for the incredible zoom, and at the same time I fell in love with Nikon's menu system. It was so easy to learn and remember, and therefore I ended up using it much more. Every time I pick up my Sony now, I feel overwhelmed and discouraged. So now I'm thinking about selling it for the Nikon Z50. I handled a Z5 in a store and the grip was heavenly. Sensory paradise. From what I'm reading, the Z50 also has a better grip than the Sony a6400. Considering I switched to the Sony primarily for the grip, and that I know that Nikon's menu system is so much better than Sony's, it makes sense for me to switch.
@@amariner5 with the kit lens the Z50 is still under $900. I purchased the Z50 with both kit lenses when it was on sale last month for 1,100 and I like the system a lot.
@@MB-dq2gz Agreed, also if feels that Nikon is slowly dyeing, it feels like it just doesn't have the financial resources to make innovative and competitive camera in a shrinking market, its still best DSLR maker but in mirrorless world is behind and sadly I dont expect this to change. Sony is a far smarter and safer camera eco system to get into.
Z50 is the most underrated camera of all. It is an spectacular camera both in photography and video. The only problem is the stupid flip down screen. Someone in Nikon must be too too too imaginative and be ahead of time.
It’s a matter of preference if you can see how you’re framing your shot Are you can’t get a small rig to take advantage of having your Hotshoe free for a microphone etc. you’re in the wrong hubby
@@quantumvideoscz2052expect that it's pretty much better than the a6400. And the AF seems pretty reliable for most use cases after all the firmware updates. ( I have taken panning shots with the z50 and they are perfect).
my only complaint is saying the z50 only has two lenses while saying any e mount glass works on the sony. why change from dx or fx nikon lenses because the full frame e mount lenses work on the a6600? dont all the z mount lenses work on the z50? and the dx or fx lenses with the ftz adapter? yes the e mount has more lenses, but if you are buying into a system, you should argue the e mount has more lenses, not that the z mount road map insnt complete (it isnt) or they you will be shooting in crop mode with a lot of the e mount glass?yeah the adapter might suck but thats the same as saying buy the eos r bc all the ef glass fits...
good point - and the sonys smaller mount means the sony lenses are as big as F-mount nikon with the ftz adapter.. You get a HUGE selection of lenses with the nikon!
Stabilization looks the same. Having the wider FOV means easier post processing stabilization. Both cameras could honestly use a gimbal. IBIS and VR are great but gimbals do a far better job especially with these light weights. I think I'll get another Z 50 after I get a Df. I'm still trying to understand this new generation of photographers and videographers, it's like they don't understand manual focus and DOF. Probably b/c they use newer lenses without the markings. What am I saying I'm not even 40 yet. Love the Z 50 but the lack of batteries or in body charging makes me scratch my head. The SD card doesn't bother me since it has built in tethering. IBIS doesn't bother me b/c it uses more power and I just don't need it. A gimbal or even a counter weight is way better. In all my years even with my videographer friends who shoot weddings don't use Log profiles. We pretty much get it right the first time not that the flexibility isn't great just time consuming just to get the same result. Dude you're literally the only person I've seen who actually had real constructive criticism of the flip down screen. None of the flip screens are perfect, no matter how you slice it one has a trade off. External monitoring is still king imo. Trade offs being cost, weight, and more gear.
I just got the Z50. In love it! Nice and small and it is really a great APSC camera. I find the autofocus system fine. I have the D7500 which takes a great photo with nice colours. I like the live view mode on the Z50 as the focus is fast. It seems to be a camera I just love to take with me!! It feels great in the hands. Nice bright viewfinder. Mirrorless is the way to go!
hi, i have the d7200 and planning to get something better for video. at first i was looking for canon dslr's and even the m50 ii... i'm just curious, how was your experience using the z50 video? thanks a lot ...
@@clamik01 thank you for the question. To be honest I’ve only used the video once and it seemed ok. The focus was fine but I’m yet to experiment more with it. It’s a nice like camera - I really like it. The Z lenses are beautiful! They fold in and make the whole scenario more small profile.
Nikon Z50 has much better image quality than Sony. Both are very good for recording videos. But the image of the Nikon Z50 is sharper and with higher contrast. Sony has better autofocus and higher availability of lenses. But overall, in image quality the Z50 is clearly superior. Sony has a lot of marketing and its products are overrated by people.
A6600 is about $400 more expensive Z50. Should be compare with Z6. Also buyers of Z50 are mostly Nikon people who have F lenses. Like Tesla Model S was compared with Taycan Porsche not mentioning the price difference..
Overall, the Nikon Z50 is a great compact APSC camera which excels in the DR and ISO performance comparing to other APSC competitors. I think nikon is going towards the right direction. But, it needs more lens to support the APSC system. Just two kit lens are not enough. No one really wants to buy the expensive full frame lens and put it on the apsc camera body. I hope nikon could launch at least 3 lens in 2020. Otherwise, it is very difficult to compete with the Sony and Fuji.
I wish Sony would make the camera body more like the z50. I have the a6400 and it really is a great camera, it’s just too damn small. In order for it to fit me I have to have it in a smallrig cage with a wood grip and it just adds weight. Now, the z50 looks like it feels good in the hands.
@iMrSteelo xt30 or xt3 will be better. The only Issue is that they have record limits. You might wanna try AG9 or GH5. Those also have very little rolling shutter.
Awesome comparison! In fact I tried the A6600 the other day and its features are great and top notch! 😃 but I like the ergonomics of Nikon Z Series (even their DSLRs like the D5600) super comfortable.
You can buy a grip for the Sony and problem solved, I'm a professional photographer and own the Sony A7 iii, and I believe the ergonomics are awful, but with a grip it looks not just as an freaking expensive camera but it's amazing to hold, that's the wonderful thing about mirrorless small cameras, you can make them big and comfortable when needed
I find it funny that people laugh at the size of the Nikon Z mount. It's only 55mm and Canon mounts are 54mm. The EF, EF-S and RF are all 54mm. Who knew 1mm could be so controversial. Ok back to another half-baked camera review.
I entered the sony system back in the days of the sony NEX5 coming from Nikon . My disappointment was that the kit lens of the NEX 5 was crap!. Really bad you could get better lens but they are expensive very expensive. So i went back to Nikon again. Nikon, always provided excellent kit lens and if you want to go to primes there were a bunch at relatively inexpensive prices. The kit lens that comes with the a6600 is nothing to write home about while the one that comes with the z50 y surprisingly good. That’s a reason to go for the Z50.
They always will because they don't have to use software for depth of field and you get more flexibility with focal lengths, not to mention you can have your images sync to your phone after you take them to share.
I had to go compare prices when you mentioned that these cameras are in the same price range as a Panasonic GH5... not close at all, lol. Nikon Z50 (body): $857 Sony a6600 (Body): $1198 Panasonic GH5 (Body): $1398 The Z50 has the least features here so I suppose it makes sense that it would be the cheaper alternative but when comparing what the cameras are capable of I think the Sony a6500 makes more sence (Body is only $798 and comes with more features than the Nikon Z50).
Haven’t watched the video, I love Nikon but I don’t think you can deny Sony’s crown... E/ yeah pretty understandable, it would take a lot more to integrate the z50 into a rig but it’s a great competitor to Sony!
That camera seems to be one of the first to start bringing in computational photography, you know it’s coming. One day full frame cameras will have a iPhone computers on board and post work will be only for us old folks.
Also, whether its a flip up or flip down, it doesn't matter. That's not what consumer goddamn want. We want a fully articulating flip out touch screen. Why won't they lets us have it, precious?
I’m a Nikon guy. I own and use a Sony a6000 (used). It’s my get and go camera with a 20mm 2.8 pancake lens. I like the Sony a6xxx sleek and sturdy body design with its clean top plate - no protruding viewfinder. When the new a6600 hype and price settles down I might get a used one. I like it’s bigger battery and grip and the cleaner and sturdier top plate without the built in flash.
Why is it I can only find that XLR Adapter in a kit with a shotgun microphone, for like, stupid expensive? Neither BHPhoto or amazon have it sold by itself
See!correct me if I’m wrong everybody!every one keeps talking about not enough APAC lenses for the Z 50 fully well known that the full frame Z works better on the Z 50 than its works on the full frame cameras!!!because it uses the sharpest part of the lens,this center! why no one mentioned this or am I wrong.. It’s just that it is not economical to buy such expensive lens for entry-level camera
Thanks for this video, some of the items you listed as shortcomings of the Z50 have been addressed in the Z30. Apart from not having the EVF, I cannot say anything negative about the 30. I wish it had the ibis, but that would drive the camera price and weight up.I tested a Sony for a weak and the colours on Nikon convinced me to keep the Nikon.
Hey! The Z6 preamps are better than the A7iii preamps. So don’t know what the “Nikon has bad preamps” thing is about. Also E-mount has more lenses, sure, but don’t forget that Nikon Z cameras work like native with Nikon F lenses via the FTZ adapter. Specifically the AF-S lenses. Architecture is large and lucrative field of pro photography and tilt/shift lenses are a must. AFAIK there are none for E-mount but great ones for F-mount.
Use the adapter and use any F mount lens. Then you have way more lenses than Sony. Try some of the Tamron Lenses and you will produce better video than out of the Sony and have no difference in autofocus. I bought 6 Z 50s and I love the setup. Not one has the kit lenses on it.
id love to buy z50 nikon,but yeah, the lens list is not there yet compared to a6600.. The sigma trinity e mount lenses, 16,30 and the 56mm 1.4 are beast together with the a6600. if theres available sigma lenses to z50,no doubt to buy the z50.
The z50 'only' outputs "HDMI clean" to an external monitor: no "OSD" information and no option to change it. For a content creator, that means you won't know if you're recording or not, recording time left, no audio levels. For vloggers: the SmallRig cage will block the top of the screen where the 'REC' indicator is (you won't know if you're recording or not unless you flip the screen back). The camera is very uncomfortable to hold on your hands with this cage and a Manfrotto mini. Other than that and the lack of third party batteries (nor dummy batteries), and some other caveats, l love my z50.
I have an A6400 and A6000, but hands down I agree the Z50 has superior design that takes on its large full frame counterparts. If Sony will make their new APS-C cameras that takes on the design of the A7 series bodies yet maintaining compact and lightweight design, I’m sure there will be no competition.
@@Dstinct I do have intentions I just don't wanna break the bank on a camera then turns out have to buy lens to get a clearer shot. I like the fact on a64 you can look at yourself while recording
I can have Nikon Z50 with two lenses for commercial shooting for promo video for company, do you guys recommend using that Nikon in those conditions or rent something else? Thank you

Sony a6600 its like toys camera Z50 its better ergonomic and looks professional to the client, its important thing especially for wedding photographer, bcz client just see the body first lol
Wouldn’t the client see your work to hire you, before they see the camera? It seems a moot point. If you put on a lens like the 16-55, it’ll look like a professional setup.
You look healthier with the Nikon 😀

Architecture is large and lucrative field of pro photography and tilt/shift lenses are a must. AFAIK there are none for E-mount but great ones for F-mount.
Use the adapter and use any F mount lens. Then you have way more lenses than Sony. Try some of the Tamron Lenses and you will produce better video than out of the Sony and have no difference in autofocus. I bought 6 Z 50s and I love the setup. Not one has the kit lenses on it.
I thought the S1H was your #1 favorite? :-(
Just because I like a camera doesn’t mean I can’t like others 😭
Philanderer! :-)
id love to buy z50 nikon,but yeah, the lens list is not there yet compared to a6600.. The sigma trinity e mount lenses, 16,30 and the 56mm 1.4 are beast together with the a6600. if theres available sigma lenses to z50,no doubt to buy the z50.
The z50 'only' outputs "HDMI clean" to an external monitor: no "OSD" information and no option to change it. For a content creator, that means you won't know if you're recording or not, recording time left, no audio levels.
For vloggers: the SmallRig cage will block the top of the screen where the 'REC' indicator is (you won't know if you're recording or not unless you flip the screen back). The camera is very uncomfortable to hold on your hands with this cage and a Manfrotto mini.
Other than that and the lack of third party batteries (nor dummy batteries), and some other caveats, l love my z50.
Why do u hate lens adapter? AF lenses performs flawlessly with the FTZ adapter after the FW 2.02 upgrade!
Thanks for the review.. im buying a6600 asap , its a beast in comparison
There are aftermarket brackets that will allow you to mount the z50 to a tripod with the screen down.
Was this filmed with the s1h? The red from the Ohio state shirt is really weird.
No it was on the GH5
you get what you pay for, with the 500 dollar deference, the A6600 has to show more feature as expected
'Small cameras like these' are also more and more expensive?
And with a tiny Techart's adapter Z50 can use Sony lenses.
I wish the nikon had proper colour profiles. Then it would have been close to perfect for me
I do not understand why to compare two bodies that are different in double the price ...
A second-hand z50 is much cheaper than a second-hand a6600 or xt3.
Great video as always. Hope to see more videos on cameras. I hate adopting lenses too.
After 8 months and the new lenses... what do you think now?
30fps... the BEST frames per second.... if you're shooting a soap opera... ;-)
I have an A6400 and A6000, but hands down I agree the Z50 has superior design that takes on its large full frame counterparts. If Sony will make their new APS-C cameras that takes on the design of the A7 series bodies yet maintaining compact and lightweight design, I’m sure there will be no competition.
you should've put, interns of video in your title. thumbs down
So is the a64 65 66 best vlogging cam right out box without buying additional lenses etc?
@@Dstinct I do have intentions I just don't wanna break the bank on a camera then turns out have to buy lens to get a clearer shot. I like the fact on a64 you can look at yourself while recording
I can have Nikon Z50 with two lenses for commercial shooting for promo video for company, do you guys recommend using that Nikon in those conditions or rent something else? Thank you
All are good for you as per your reviews. You should DECIDE which one is BETTER.
Love ur videos but u need a new transition other than that weird throw ur arms up and noise u make. It’s kinda weird lol
Get outta here
Great comparison - I definitely prefer the Sony for video, ibis and great images
It’s a great little camera 👍
The Everyday Dad you got me hooked on the GH5 though, for b roll it’s the boss! I also really like the look of the images it produces for pictures, very crisp
I thought the Z50 output always looked better
Sony a6600 its like toys camera
Z50 its better ergonomic and looks professional to the client,
its important thing especially for wedding photographer, bcz client just see the body first lol
Thats superficially stupid, the a6600 has better sound, AF, recording time, battery life, lens range, and stabilization.
@@Alexander-tj2dn The client who cares about that spec , they just see final image and the camera body haha
@@Alexander-tj2dn But the Sony's have horrible ergonomics that sucks all the fun out of shooting. I am never buying a Sony again.
Wouldn’t the client see your work to hire you, before they see the camera? It seems a moot point. If you put on a lens like the 16-55, it’ll look like a professional setup.
Classic song,,, dslr minded
I gave you a dislike for that offensive Ohio State shirt.
Good video though...
I think not really much difference between a64 65 66
