I'll watch and get back with you. Edit For what I do, no. If I were a creator I'd buy it. But it doesn't seem very professional, seems like something your aunt would bring on a field trip to take snapshots of everyone/thing. I find it easier to see everything that is going on through a viewfinder. Especially when it's very sunny and I can't hardly see the screen
I'm getting this just to convert for infrared. this is like, perfect. A camera with full live view, Flippy screen, and the entire Nikon lens catalog. I think this camera has a lot of potential
Dude this review is so awesome! I also really appreciate that you used it as your studio camera and took it around. Also nice that you labeled the R5 camera shots, it just helps so much comparing cameras. Thank you.
I bought this camera last week for my roommate to shoot her content. I specifically bought it because of the flip screen, my D5300 has one and I think every camera should be so equipped. When I got it home and started playing with it I found it has a lot of features that my D780 has, we have had a lot of fun with the built in filters. She works as a go-go dancer and the girls at the club are booking shoots already. I definitely bought more camera than I bargained for. Thank you Nikon, you are giving people an affordable option to the crappy cameras on cell phones.
Diggin' it! Love my Z50 but I would definitely bring the Z30 around more since it definitely looks a lot more compact compared to the Z30 when I'm doing videos. I really like that they FINALLY made a camera for content creators. If it still has the same sensor as the Z50/Zfc, image quality is still definitely there. Thanks for the video!
I have z50 in my job (I work for a town and we use it to shoot all things we need, like festivals, buildings and shit), but I am really looking for camera for my ASMR channel. This looks really good for that. 🤔 Especially that 120 minutes record time.
Nikon hit it out of the park with this one. Good on them! Now if only they could release an updated Z6 with reliable Eye-AF, that would be great. I love my gen1 Z6, but I do depend on manually setting the focus point a little too much.
I’m a pro photographer, I shoot through the screen and not the viewfinder. I don’t think I’m any less professional because of it, the opposite… I can see what happens near me and react for this. Since I switched to shoot with the screen my pictures got better because I can also interact better with the people in front of the camera. My shots are still steady and sharp.
Yeah, I'm not a pro, but the bigger the view screen, the easier the comp. Also, I shoot mountains and forests, and they are famously ambivalent towards a photographers stance...
This guy isnt a pro nor was he in the past - he's just a youtuber pretending to have some industry experience - he doesn't. Its perfectly acceptable to use the rear screen
See the viewfinder is more of a security check in both balance and taking on horrendous bright settings. If you slap on a 600 mm 2.8 prime for wildlife and need to be on the move constantly in the Amazon your gonna want to keep as steady as possible and hold the camera in a way that balances with your whole body in tough terrain.
@Mark Shirley - Fro is professional through and through. It is like saying that a guy is not a fro because of the gear he is using. Fro can teach many pros.
Oh that plus when you hold it to your eye you can't do minor adjustments as you could with holding it away from your body and using your arm to giving it that much better composition.
I just bought this to replace my ZV1. Not much bigger (my ZV1 has the necessary Ulanzi stick on lens and cage), it weighs the same, and the image quality is absolutely fantastic. The stabilisation is fine also with the kit lens on. The low light performance on this camera is awesome. I also take a lot of stills and this is a brilliant stills camera. I don’t need an EVF. The camera performs amazingly well on the auto setting as well straight out of camera. I also was not expecting the autofocus to be as good as Sony but it’s not far off and no issues there either. It’s just been reduced in price and if you are in the market for a small form factor camera, perhaps for travel, it is really hard to beat now.
@@anjakatinic4297 I haven’t tried pushing it to its limit in that scenario but if you see the video I did on my channel reviewing it, I was out with it for 4 hours, and of course took more, and it had a half battery left. I think I read somewhere it will take more photos than publicised - maybe about 300. The battery will last twice as long if not more compared to a ZV1 say. Again I did a comparison.
As Nikon shooter for years, in my opinion it's a perfect camera to mount it on gimbal, plus tiltable screen which is plus one, fast in autofocus, phenomenal image quality, for the price it has lots of benefits, I'm looking forward to invest in one.
Thanks Jared! Nice review! I'm getting this for the flip out screen. Love my Z9 but does not have flip out screen for vlogging so I'll use the money saved from not getting the A1 and get the Z30. I also get a free vlogging camera, extra body, and ability to use my FF Z lenses is a plus.. .love Nikon!
I wish they would make a viewfinder that slots into the flash socket. Seems such simple solution. And even make an optical viewfinder with transferable lenses and a projected frame for zooms.
You’re a complete boss! Best photography tech channel with hands on footage/opinions I’ve found! I’m new to photography and I’m struggling finding a mirrorless camera to get started with but your videos are certainly helping! Would love some recommendations for beginner mirrorless cameras if possible!
Oh wow. Nikon was my first DSLR and Jared’s tutorial trained me to use it years ago. lol I switched to Fuji a few years ago - which I do love, but wow. Nikon is killing it lately. Feeling like I want to go back to my first love. 💕
Not having a viewfinder was a great decision for a camera in this class, allowing a better form factor to fit in small bags and large pockets. More likely for people to carry around and still have similar experience to a phone but with better ergo. A great step forward in appealing to beginners.
seems pretty nice for casual street photography, I would say... It's so compact that it is almost pocketable, depending on the lenses you have attached. I know phones can do a pretty decent job in this case, but it's still attractive in my opinion.
good callout on EVF and IBS. new to cameras and thinking a nice camera would be an upgrade from a smartphone, so the marketing info on the sensors was interesting. thanks for the video- very helpful.
9:45 About the the lens for vlogging Nikon had a 12-28mm DX wide-angle zoom lens on their road map for about a year now. My assumption is that lens will be released same time as the Z30 because this will be marketed as vlogging first content creator camera for all social medias. My hope is they will offer the standard zoom or the wide angle zoom in a kit and hopefully it will have vr as well be the go to vlogging set up for Nikon shooter's. So keep your ears open Nikon shooter's this mirrorless world is expanding for us.
Oh sweet back handed compliment for once. Why don’t you just say it “usually you’re biased and I hate your opinions, this time I agree with you bedside you said nice things that didn’t hurt my feelings”
Shout out to your podcast. It's really, really, really good lately! Please keep at it! It's in my rotation as I'm doing my daily photography walks and hikes!
ive been looking at this camera for a couple months now. im likely pulling the trigger this summer. QUESTION..My office is a 14x14 room. Will the 16mm give me enough room to get my full body in there? I workout and do videos and also play drums. So just need to make sure its going to have me covered?..Thanks for the help.
Great video thank you - my new Z30 arrived this week and will be starting to get to grips with it - my first mirrorless camera and amazed on the size and weight compared to my D7500!
How is auto focus? My Sony ZV1f autofocus is lock-blur, lock-blur and frustrating as anything. I think Nikon will be my best bet with phase detect. What's your opinion on the autofocus?
I found it interesting you criticized the grip being on the "wrong" side for a vlogging camera but guy put it on a grip handle when he used it. Which is what you would expect a clogger to do. This might be my next camera
Are there any indicators on a new cropped Nikon with IBIS any time soon? My z50 is in the shop (for the dumb LCD cable design) and I’m wondering if i should pay the $$$ to fix it or consider switching systems if IBIS won’t be here for a few more years. Any ideas?
Nikon z30 vs Fujifilm x-s10… I want to do streaming and selfie photo shoots. I already have 2 Fuji X mount lenses, would sell my old fujifilm x-a5. Not sure what to choose. Any1 help pls?
I'm happy to see Nikon launching new products, even if it's something I would not buy. There does, however, seem to be a market for this product and I'm hoping Nikon captures enough of it to make it worth its while.
Ok, Why are you skating with a goalie mask on? I also like the EVF, I don't like shooting with the screen. That is one think that is confusing. If the lens in a DX lens 16-50mm, then why is it actually 24-75mm. I understand that if it is FX lens, then there is conversion, but why is there a conversion with DX lens? If I put the DX lens on Full Frame Nikon camera, then the Z camera with adjust to DX format. I upgraded my DSLR APC-S to a Z full frame camera.
all lenses put on a Nikon DX camera will have a 1.5X crop factor. so 16-50mm DX lens on DX camera will be 24-75mm full frame equivalent focal length. and 16-35mm FX lens on DX camera will be 24-52mm full frame equivalent focal length. putting a 16-50 DX lens on a full frame camera will also automatically give the 1.5 crop to 24-75. but putting a full frame FX lens like 16-35mm on a full frame camera has no crop by default so you get the original 16-35mm, unless you purposely switch the full frame camera to DX APS-C mode which will become 24-52mm by using only the center of the sensor (good for simulating telephoto by cropping)
@@Damon_Mah Damon thanks for getting back to me. I understand what you are stay that it is equivalent to 24-75mm. My only question is why call it 16-50mm, when the equivalent is 24-75mm. I read that before about other cameras and lenses, but I don't why they make a DX lens, when it isn't actually the real focal length. Maybe it is the price. It seem you can put a full frame (FX) lens on the same and get the same results, and make 100% sense. But not for a DX lens. Maybe it is just me.
So, I finally came around to watch this review and the only thing I didn't get an answer to was, what lens do you use on that studio R5? When we see the cameras from behind, like at 13:36, the Canon says 1/50 shutter speed and F1.0 7/8 (I guess) is the aperture. What is up with that?
@@simonmaduxx6777 There is no camera release man, today is the camera announcement but what I said was that they are talking about z30 for month and more already. The camera release will be in July/August/who knows. The world have ever been mad, not sure what's the connection...
@@dicekolev5360 it wasn't the most serious comment. More like hey, sometimes you just miss news(rumors?) because life. That's all I got sorry bro I'm tired LOL
is there any dynamic zoom (called in Panasonic, also called clear image zoom in Sony) and digital zoom? Can we extend the power zoom lens to limit using the control on lens follow by extending the camera built in zoom function using the camera control system?
what about a screw mount on its side to film vertical without the need for an L bracket? that would've been smart Edit: one more thing Jared... i don't feel quiet the same as you when speaking about shooting stills from the screen instead of the evf. You can cover a lot more angles holding the camera away from you (and change faster from one to another), and you can check the composition in other ways allowing you to be more creative. Pie Jirsa sometimes relies on that and you wouldn't say he seems amateurish. Just give it a thought and try it out, you may be surprised
The best argument for an EVF for stills is blocking ambient light. Sure, you can get a lot of angles, but it's not fun making educated guesses through glare on sunny days.
High / low angles are generally the only time I'll shoot with the display screen (and I shoot low quite a lot). Personally I see things a lot more clearly in the EVF, and I'm more focused mentally. I think Jared's mainly referring to shooting with the screen most of the time at normal angles - it's just not a good look in front of clients generally speaking. And with certain subjects / environments it's a huge disadvantage (sports and wildlife action for example). Interesting topic to discuss and really, no right or wrong here.
@@tr_murf4399 who said anything about shooting through the lcd under sunlight? Besides, i'm not gonna let a potentially good high angle photo escape from an oportunity just because "it's not fun making educated guesses". Just take more shots the same way you do when panning, no big deal
@@csc-photo ye i'm with you, no right or wrong. And, of course, the evf is way better to check what you're doing, but there's places it can't bring you. It's not that usefull when in need for high and low angles, discreetness, complicated positions (like in macro, for instance), etc. And yes, no one would find more usefull to use the lcd when using a tele for sports and wildlife. I'm JUST saying... don't rant about it, consider it might be more usefull than you think, and please try it in situations you would'nt think it'd work because you may surprise yourself
@@csc-photo oh, and about looking stupid... how professional do i look flexing knees, head crouched, all myself hidding behind a tiny camera as if i was about to shoot a rifle, when i only pretend to take a photo any phone could match? like "wtf this guy's doin??" You can't afford to look ridiculous too xD
A cheaper Z50, with the screen and USB-C from Z fc, and no recording limit? I was dreaming for a camera like this! No IBIS, unfortunately, but that's ok to me. Bring It on, Nikon!
Is this a go or a no go???
googogogogogo

Converting to infrared would really give me a nice excuse to get this 🤔 But then again I wouldn't mind a second Zfc in infrared either...
The video quality looks amazing. The 4K no crop and pretty much no limit recording time with the price tag make this camera ideal for me.
For both of us!

I read that you can livestream from the camera? Did you go over it on the video or did i miss it?
is the screen is bright enough for outdoor . dose it have power zoom
Power Zoom 🤣
Which have better video quality with kit lens? ZV E10 or Z30?

A z70 with ibis and 3D Tracking would be the dream for wildlife users.
I think we'll see one in due course after the Z9 tech trickles down to the FF bodies. Perhaps alongside the 200-600mm

Oh wow I didn’t even know there was a Z30 coming out, I wonder what else will be coming out next year
Better follow some other youtubers than Jared for the Nikon stuff. z30 was expected for more than a month now^^
@@dicekolev5360 one month is nothing! The world has been going mad in the meantime, it's easy to miss a camera release
@@simonmaduxx6777 There is no camera release man, today is the camera announcement but what I said was that they are talking about z30 for month and more already. The camera release will be in July/August/who knows. The world have ever been mad, not sure what's the connection...
@@dicekolev5360 it wasn't the most serious comment. More like hey, sometimes you just miss news(rumors?) because life. That's all I got sorry bro I'm tired LOL
it’s orderable today from all the usual retailers. Nikon press release says available mid-July
is there any dynamic zoom (called in Panasonic, also called clear image zoom in Sony) and digital zoom? Can we extend the power zoom lens to limit using the control on lens follow by extending the camera built in zoom function using the camera control system?
this video/review is awesome... its informative and hilarious... thank you sir
what about a screw mount on its side to film vertical without the need for an L bracket? that would've been smart
Edit: one more thing Jared... i don't feel quiet the same as you when speaking about shooting stills from the screen instead of the evf. You can cover a lot more angles holding the camera away from you (and change faster from one to another), and you can check the composition in other ways allowing you to be more creative. Pie Jirsa sometimes relies on that and you wouldn't say he seems amateurish. Just give it a thought and try it out, you may be surprised
The best argument for an EVF for stills is blocking ambient light. Sure, you can get a lot of angles, but it's not fun making educated guesses through glare on sunny days.
High / low angles are generally the only time I'll shoot with the display screen (and I shoot low quite a lot). Personally I see things a lot more clearly in the EVF, and I'm more focused mentally. I think Jared's mainly referring to shooting with the screen most of the time at normal angles - it's just not a good look in front of clients generally speaking. And with certain subjects / environments it's a huge disadvantage (sports and wildlife action for example). Interesting topic to discuss and really, no right or wrong here.
@@tr_murf4399 who said anything about shooting through the lcd under sunlight? Besides, i'm not gonna let a potentially good high angle photo escape from an oportunity just because "it's not fun making educated guesses". Just take more shots the same way you do when panning, no big deal
@@csc-photo ye i'm with you, no right or wrong. And, of course, the evf is way better to check what you're doing, but there's places it can't bring you. It's not that usefull when in need for high and low angles, discreetness, complicated positions (like in macro, for instance), etc. And yes, no one would find more usefull to use the lcd when using a tele for sports and wildlife.
I'm JUST saying... don't rant about it, consider it might be more usefull than you think, and please try it in situations you would'nt think it'd work because you may surprise yourself
@@csc-photo oh, and about looking stupid... how professional do i look flexing knees, head crouched, all myself hidding behind a tiny camera as if i was about to shoot a rifle, when i only pretend to take a photo any phone could match? like "wtf this guy's doin??" You can't afford to look ridiculous too xD
What’s the setup with the Sennheiser wireless system on top of the cameras? What’s the routing? Thank you!!
How do you know it‘s a good video? Zero interest in this camera and still having the time of my life watching
A branch from nikon contacted us to shoot and review this camera , I can't wait after seeing this ( the best part they ask us to keep it )
Looks cool. How did you get f1.07/8 on the 50mm f1.2?
A cheaper Z50, with the screen and USB-C from Z fc, and no recording limit? I was dreaming for a camera like this! No IBIS, unfortunately, but that's ok to me. Bring It on, Nikon!
@12:52 the audio is lost its sync.....it seems off a bit or is it just on my end?
What's the highest ISO you can go with this camera before it develops grain in the video?
Your funniest video in a while!!
Do your fropacks work with Capture One?..
I love your sarcasm. That is why I subbed 😂
