The Nikon Z50 is Nikon’s APS-C mirrorless system that’s expands their mirrorless lineup to a market that might be looking for something, less expensive, lightweight but yet can utilise all of Nikon’s lenses from the F Mount to the Z mount.
Could this be the camera for you? Check out the review to find out!

I have this camera plus the z6 and Z7. I think all these cameras are fantastic. I’ve shot Nikon dslrs for ten years and don’t miss a thing. Even the JPEGs from the z50 are fantastic. Even though there’s no image stabilization in body, these stabilized lenses are great. In fact the 50-250mm is producing better images than my 70-200mm f mount. These cameras get a lot of flack that isn’t warranted in my humble opinion.
I'm new to mirrorless, I've been shooting with my trusty D7200 and I just picked up a Z 50 & 16-50 lens. I'm loving this camera! I had a D750 on my wishlist, that has now changed to a Z 6.
@@csc-photo is this good for Instagram photoshoots and videography?
Agree about Nikon. So many reviewers are in a spec war between systems and Nikon continues to get the short end of all of them. They are making solid and impressive systems, and interestingly, everyone that has a Z camera loves it.
Purchasing as my first camera. Thanks for the simple review
Thanks for watching
I’ve been really thinking about buying the Z 50 have watched almost every video I could find, and yours by far is my favourite video of them all. Thank you. I loved the explanations, the stories and the sample photographs. All in all a great review.
Thank you for the kind words.
Remember paying for film and development, I do, that money that would be spent for film will be more than enough for an extra battery or two.
My honest opinion is that they're not doing all that much worse than the rest of the camera manufacturers, it's just that they aren't as diversified as all the rest. Panasonic and Sony are big tech and entertainment companies, Canon is big in office and business applications with its products, Fujifilm is a presence in medical etc. No, it seems to me that oldest of the Japanese camera manufacturers is also the one that is fundamentally tied to its core imaging business more than any other and so as the camera business goes so does Nikon. That's not to say they haven't been involved in other industries and I actually am far more bullish on their survival than obviously Olympus or say Pentax. I imagine that they will continue to make great cameras but as the interchangeable lens camera market contracts they will as well. But it is fascinating how much folks have piled on a such a storied company which continues on delivering beautifully made and well engineered products. But they're far from dead as well. Remember that with a fraction of the capital and overall size of their company when compared to any of their competitors they have managed to hold on to the number 2 position (after losing number 1 to canon with the introduction of the EF mount) worldwide in camera brands this whole time _ including moving from film to digital _ and this in spite of recently slipping into 3rd place in the U.S. market(their biggest). I truly believe as long as Nikon puts out a high quality camera there will always be enough people in the world to support their business even in if the overall market of ilc is shifting back towards what it was in the 1970s. But it sure would be nice to see them begin to get a fairer shake.
Thanks for the content
Cheers
Thanks for the comment. I also do hope they get a fairer shake in time to come.
We have this Camera. This is a great little Nikon. We love it. Thanks for this review and please stay healthy. 👍🦠
Thanks for watching and stay healthy as well 😊
I have been using Nikon cameras since 1970. My first Nikon camera was Nikkormat which was super heavy. To date, I have 4 Nikon cameras. Love them all.
Congrats! Solid cameras
yes totally agree with your view on nikon - i have a z6, love it so much
After your review of the tamron 35mm 1.4 and other positive reviews, i went out and bought it.
That lens is everything claimed about it. Simply a great lens.
Totally agreed about the conclusion! Keep going the nice job
Thanks for watching 👍
Great review.. Is Nikon Z50 weather sealed ? Are kit lens has VR and weather sealed ? 16-50 and 50-250. Thanks
just start videography with z50 kit and 50mm 1.8S and I love it
Great kit! Enjoy
I compared my nikon d7200 with nikon z50! Surprise and slight shock!
Really good review man. I was trying to decide between the Canon M6 Mark ii and this one for video. After watching some video footage, researching, and this review I think I'm leaning towards the Nikon. I'll admit I was dismissing them at first, but after seeing what they bring to the table as far as balance I'm definitely leaning towards the Nikon Z50 now.
Use your small rig plate that you already mentioned to move the tripod to the side and still use the flip down screen. Good review and I agree with your assessment of Nikon. Colors are my favorite!
Unfortunately the small rig plate isn’t available here yet. That was a demo in the store
@@TECH360TV Ahh! Makes sense. I've been using it here and it works well and the only good way to use the flip down screen. Always enjoy your presentation. Thanks
@@TECH360TV Go onto Aliexpress, free shipping to Singapore. USD$27 at the moment.
Good review and this camera is great. Very sharp photos. It is my Third Nikon camera. There could be better out there but this one is great and enough ...
Thanks for watching. Always room for improvement but it does the job for what it’s supposed to do
Love the Z 50 but My D 750 and 810 are my favorite.
Thanks, I have a question... I bought one nice and mint Z50 used on eBay and I agree with you. It is a nice little mirrorless camera. I love my Canon, but this Nikon has an easy menu, which I love. I cannot invest at this moment in lenses, so I bought a manual lens, the Z mount Meike 50mm 1.7. I am not used to manual focus, but focus peaking helps a lot. What about the Z mount FX lenses for this DX sensor? Do they work fine? I am thinking about a 50mm 1.8S for Z mount for the price, but also a 7artisans 60mm f2.8 macro, which comes for the Z mount and it is really cheap. I guess I would love macro photography with the Z50.
Hi Jaime, thanks for watching. I would recommend f Mount lenses if you want to save some cash, 50 1.8 is a fantastic lens as well. You have options, but don’t get caught up trying to save money on lenses and end up spending more if you know what I mean.
Excellent review as always. I'm just a little concerned about the zoom envy ...
Thanks! 😂😂😂
This review always makes me want to go out and do photography with my Nikon D5500
It was 100 % the marketing department that wanted the "selfie-display" :)
Why didn't Nikon do a side flip screen for the Nikon Z50 like Nikon have done on the Nikon D5500 and Nikon D5600.
Buying this, which Z-mount lenses to buy for r photoshoot- fashion photography and adapter?
Also, can you do detailed 4k video review?
This would be my second camera. Thank you for your honest review.
Great review as always. I use the Olympus micro four thirds for travel, but I always smile when I go back to my Nikon f mount full frame when I can handle the weight - colours and image quality is amazing. Right now a bit too invested into Olympus lenses already to jump ship back to the Z system, but I would have definitely gone Z mount if it was around when I bought micro four thirds. Also no one can beat the ease and flexibility of the flash system of Nikon.
Thanks Kevin. Haven’t reviewed Olympus cameras yet. Planning to in the future though. Z Mount is really growing and impressed with each of their lenses.
When you put on the small rig, does it allow you to use the flip down screen. And with this small rig can you mount it on a tripod?
Supposedly it fixes the screen down issue. There Is a creators kit now with the z50 that includes is.
Purchased as my first camera, joy to use.
Congrats
I actually prefer the flip down screen. It better for vlogging, I hate the flip out and flip up displays, its hard to look directly into the lens and off to the side or top at the same time and its very noticeable.
If you have the small rig bottom plate good for vlogging. If not as I demonstrated it’s difficult unless you only hold the camera
@@TECH360TV I agree, but the small rig is very affordable at $30...That would be the 1st accessory to buy..
WOW - I'm in love!
Thanks for watching
I upgraded from a D300 to the Z50, and the Z50 has not disappointed me at all. Just waiting for my FTZ adapter so I can use some of my older F Glass as well. The kit lenses went beyond my expectations.
Congrats!
Great video bro I might get me a nikon z50 for traveling purposes!!
Thanks for watching! Great travel camera
I own this camera for nearly 8 months already , I am loving it. Although it dont have ibis in it , but it still give me clear n sharp photo everytimes. No regret buying this camera.
Great to hear
Nice review. Thanks
Thanks for watching Ken
i have a nikon D5300 , i bought Z50 with ftz adapter and kit lens , waiting to receive it ... thnx for the review
Congrats on the new camera and thanks for watching
What was the result? Are you happy with Z50? I am considering jump from D5300 to Z50 as well!
Hi another thing I was thinking about is what you said about cropping. I thought quite a lot before buying the Z50 rather than the Z6. I tend to use longer lenses most of the time so I thought if I took 2 photos of something with my 200-500 lens, one with the the Z6 and one with the Z50 from the same position I would need to crop the Z6 photo in post to get the same picture. Even though the Z6 has a higher resolution of around 24 megapixel after the crop I believe it would be around 15 megapixel which is less than the same photo from the Z50 so in an odd way the Z50 has a higher resolution than the Z6. Having bought the Z50 I have not regretted that decision.
Obviously for landscape or general photography this doesn't count and I am sure a Z6 will replace my D7100 as soon as I have the funds but for telephoto photography it's like putting a teleconverter on your lens.
Hi Steve, you are right that the Z50 will give you that extra reach and why a number of photographers choose APS-C over full frame sometimes. Glad you are enjoying the camera!
I feel that the z50 would be a great landscape camera.
Thanks once again for a great review. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you for watching and the support
That 85 1.8 is amazing. I also have the 35 1.8 and it's a stellar lens.
Yes it is
Will you be doing a review of the Fujifilm XT-200?
O ya and the XT-4
Yes working on it now
You mentioned that full frame large aperture lenses bring this camera alive. Is that referring to adapted lens such as the Nikon FX 50mm 1.8 and Tamron 50mm VC and/or just Z lenses?
Im not understanding your comment. sorry
F mount lenses work very well. 50mm 1.8 G and 35mm 1.8G DX, etc...
TECH.360 are you guys going to review the Panasonic S5 and Nikon Z5
Currently not right now.
Tamron we need the 16-300mm Z mount Please !!!
Tech 360 are you guys going to review the Nikon D780
Probably not. I think going forward we will be focusing on the Z system
Ok fair enough
I agree at all you have said...espesially for the youtubers....and i have the z50 with the 2 lens and a z6 and d810 d600 and a lot of f mount lens.100 years history is the same with the 10 of sony...and the noumber is not so bad...its the true the others company dont say the true..
Nikon z50 or the Lumix g9?
Prob Z50 for focus
Fuji xt2 or nikon z50 for photography?
Haha tough. I think lens wise there are more options for fujifilm
@@TECH360TV what about the ftz adapter and then their are tons of lenses
Need to take in consideration the crop factor. Personally I would opt for the z5
@@TECH360TV im not a serious photogropher, it is my hobby.
For now i do not need lots of lens and can work with the few from the z mount.
And i already have the nikkoe 18-140, nikkor 35 1.8.
Ok sure. If you like then go for the z50
"Intimidated by going to full frame"???????? Exactly how would the sensor size be intimidating to anyone?
Funny you mentioned this. I have spoken to many young photographers who think they aren’t good enough for full frame yet. It’s shocking how many have told me this.
Very good value for your money 😊
I hope they survive, they desperately need a 2 slot Z that can be used in the wedding market tho. Until then I'm hanging on to my D750.
If the rumours are correct we should see a new Z soon. Unfortunately due to the pandemic everything has stopped
@@TECH360TV the rumors are saying a z8 is coming out. I dont find 2 slot cameras to be worth the money, you rarely have sd card failures especially if you dont buy really low end sd cards.
Nikon z50 or the fuji xt30
That’s tough. Both have their pros and cons. I would say though with the Nikon you have the ability to use all their lenses vs fuji which only the lens lineup they have
I am a little shocked about your comments on the screen flipping down and getting in the way especially when you have already mentioned the small rid bottom plate which allows you to mount you tripod under the battery compartment allow full vision of the screen. Check it out
Don’t be shocked. Let me explain. The small rig is an accessory that at the time of the recording wasn’t available for purchase. It was only on display at the Nikon Experience Store here. Also not everyone will know what is a small rig plate and how it works with the z50. When we make our videos we don’t just review for pros or newbies, we do a reviews for everyone.
@@TECH360TV I understand that but you did mention it would allow you rest your pinky on the small rig nd actually showed it attached to your camera 1:11 seconds into the video. Apart from that a very balanced review
I agree...beucase all the youtuber is pay from sony and canon and accept to much gifts...all we know that....
Why did you show the smallrig plate and describe it as a grip, then complain about the flip down screen without attaching your tripod to the smallrig plate, which is what it's meant for?
The smallrig is an option that wasn’t available for purchase at the time the video was made. That image was taken at the Nikon Experience store. Additionally I’m talking about the camera without the grip because not everyone will purchase or even know Smallrig makes an plate/grip extension for it.
A pretty lens, does not, a pretty image make.
6:00 the first non-selfie camera
Its similar to the Nikon D5500 and Nikon D5600
I just ordered it, not that I need it but it’s so damn cute and there is a great sale on it. Man, I’m going to have much explaining to do with my husband when it gets here🫢
