    10:42 Sharpness of the kit lenses, the 16-50 mm and the 50-250 mm zoom lenses
    I was especially pleased with the Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 DX VR zoom lens. Pretty sharp, and the stabilizer meant a 4 stop improvement.
    14:08 High ISO samples / Image stabilization
    15:48 Manual focusing
    16:33 Exposure latitude / dynamic range
    For night photographer like me, it's crucial that the shadows don't get noisy when brightened in post. Luckily the Nikon Z50 carries on Nikon's good reputation.
    17:50 Nikon 16-50mm lens under the stars
    Kit lenses usually fail under such an extreme optical test as the stars. At 16mm, in the center it's pretty good, but at the corners it's a different issue.
    19:00 Video performance / Autofocus in video
    So far, Nikon was not the leader of the bunch in video. That is until they released their mirrorless cameras!
    The Z50 has EXCELLENT autofocus performance in video mode as well.
    Luckily, it stays like that even when shooting 120 fps!
    Rolling shutter is not noticeable at 1080p, but it's a bit so-so in 4K (check yourself)

    I've looked at all of the Z50 reviews that's come out in the past 2 months since this camera has been released and honestly yours was the best I've ever seen, beating even the big names. They're too focused on entertainment now instead of technical specs, but you've answered all of the questions I have about this camera. Thanks and keep up the excellent work!

    This is the best review of this camera out there. You're doing a great job.

    Definitely the best Z50 review I've seen. Thank you.

    Good review dude. Very informative. I have the Z6, recently got the Z50 and love it. Carry the Z50 everywhere with me, all the time, and am capturing a greater variety of images this way - the poor old Z6 often gets left at home now! Am a keen hiker and the compact nature and lighter weight is a real plus, especially considering the image quality, even with kit lenses, is much better than I had expected. Also happy with its video quality, which I use on my own You Tube channel (no, I won't plug it!).

    ''just fine'' I think that is pretty darn amazing.

    Your Review about this Camera was perfect . All my questions have been answered in just 1 Video , while other take ages to explain . Couldnt decide between the Alpha 6600 and the Z50 but the price performance ratio on the Z50 is just unbelievable. Keep up the good work mate .💪🏼🙏🏼

    Good review, thank you. I own the Z 50 so I'm a bit biased. I am impressed with it and am finding the kt lenses better than most others I've used.

    Excellent, comprehensive review with a dash of humour. I envy your command of a second language. Alas, my command of French which I studied in school as a Canadian has waned in comparison. I hope your channel grows as you are a great reviewer.

    Excellent review! I've been using this camera for the last two months and I couldn't be happier with it. Lot of people wondering about the adaptor and I can tell it works great with f mount glass. I use the 35mm prime and the 55-200 telephoto and the focusing performance is excellent. The fast aperture of the prime helps a lot to autofocus accurately.

    Best Review on this camera I've seen, thank you! This has made my camera purchase so much easier.

    I love my Z50. And yes, the kit lenses are much better than expected. Very sharp and almost no color fringing or other problems. For the price I think it’s a great deal for the camera and both lenses ($1200 in the US currently).

    I am thinking of buying this one just to be able to move around without the heavy D750. Saw many reviews but yours is by far the best.

    This is the best review of the Nikon z50 on TH-cam. Thank you so much.

  • @luiscarloscarvalho2161

    The Nikon Z50 is an outstanding very capable mirrorless camera. I came from a D7500 and I am pretty satisfied. Thanks for this video.

    I bought this camera + kit as soon as it was released. Just a gut response really. But were my guts correct? You bet. Best value for money in recent years. Never been a Nikon user before for that matter.
