Review: Nikon Z 50 Mirrorless Camera – Lightweight, Portable, and Affordable

The Nikon Z 50 is an APS-C format mirrorless camera with 20.88 million effective pixels and 4K video shooting performance. At the same time, the body is light, portable and easy to handle. What is particularly rare is that, under the current background of shortages and price hikes in the overall mirrorless market, the price of the Z 50 has fallen instead of rising, which is very cost-effective. Today we will give you a detailed introduction to this premium mirrorless, in order to provide valuable information for your purchase.

Because there are no structural parts such as the reflector and pentaprism of the SLR camera, the body of the mirrorless camera can be made smaller, thinner and lighter. The Z 50 is one of the typical representatives of mirrorless lightness and portability. Its body size is only about 126.5 x 93.5 x 60mm, and its weight is only about 450g including the battery and memory card. As long as it is not equipped with a large-sized lens, it can be easily carried in a single or backpack. It is very easy to carry and use, especially suitable for travelling.

Although it is a lightweight design and focuses on portability, the characteristics of Nikon cameras are still very obvious. The wide handle brings a good grip performance, making it more stable and calm when shooting. The red triangle on the handle is also one of the important symbols of Nikon. This camera is equipped with a 3.2-inch 1.04 million-pixel touch screen. Operations such as parameter adjustment, menu options, and focus area selection can be completed on the screen, and novice users can get started faster. The screen adopts a flip-down design, which can enter the shooting state faster than flipping the screen down. You can take selfies by flipping the screen down 180°.

The Nikon Z 50 is equipped with an APS-C format sensor with 20.88 million effective pixels, which can bring users high-quality image performance. The Nikon Z 50 uses a hybrid focus system. The focus core of the Z 50 is 209 phase focus points, covering 84% of the image area. In actual use, the focus coverage area is quite sufficient.

The Nikon Z 50 also has an eye-detection AF function that can detect not only human faces and eyes, but also animal (cat, dog) faces and eyes. In terms of recognition rate, the recognition sensitivity and accuracy of Z50 eye focus are relatively high.

NikonZ 50 can perform high-speed continuous shooting of 11 frames per second when using mechanical shutter, high-speed continuous shooting mode and NEF (12bit RAW)+JPEG, which can help you capture high-speed motion pictures.

The Nikon Z 50’s video performance is also a highlight of this camera. The Z 50 has 4K 30P without angle of view cropping, with 120-frame upscaling video in full HD, plus a 180-degree flip screen, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a VLOG camera.

At present, the price of Nikon Z 50 kit equipped with DX 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 lens is 6799 yuan (6980 in Hong Kong), and the price of Z 50 single body is 5369 yuan (5780 in Hong Kong). If you are a user of Nikon SLR cameras, you can also install Nikon SLR lenses on the Z 50 body through the lens adapter ring. In all fairness, the price of the Z 50 is quite reasonable under the background of the overall price increase in the mirrorless market. At the same time, the Z 50 has almost no performance shortcomings, whether it is used as a travel camera, as a Vlog device or as a portable camera, there is no problem.
