Although both kit lenses are equipped with effective optical image stabilization, we prefer the freedom of lens choices provided by in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The higher-end Nikon Z 6 and Z 7 offer IBIS, as do mirrorless cameras such as the Sony a6500 and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 III, so I've gotten used to having this feature in many of the mirrorless cameras I've tested. If you’re someone with a penchant for photographing sports and action, this is probably not the camera for you. But for the occasional moving subject, such as pets and kids, it copes reasonably well. Before we go into the camera details, let’s see how the Z50 compares to its Nikon F counterparts and direct competitors on the market. Nikon Z50 vs D3500 vs D5600 and D7500 Comparison With a battery inserted in the camera, the EH-7P or EH-8P can be used to charge the battery while the camera is switched OFF or to power the camera while it is switched ON. These accessories are compatible with all Z series cameras except for the Z 50 which uses the EH-73P. What is USB Power Delivery

When it comes to ergonomics, Nikon shooters will feel right at home with the Z50. First of all, the grip of the camera is deep and very comfortable, especially when comparing it to other cameras like Sony A6400, Fuji X-T30 and Canon EOS M6 II. And despite the big size of the Z-mount, Nikon left plenty of room between the mount and the grip to make the camera comfortable even for those with larger hands. Similar to other Nikon DSLRs, the grip is covered with textured rubber, providing great comfort when using the camera for extended periods of time. Here is the view of the top of the camera that shows the depth of the grip, as well as the minimal number of buttons and dials on the top of the camera: According to Nikon camera user’s manuals, you can charge a camera’s battery by plugging in the USB cable into a computer’s (Mac or PC) port. You don’t want to plug the USB cable into a USB hub or keyboard though. Not enough (voltage) power will be delivered to the camera battery.

The Z 30 is supplied with a UC-E24 USB cable. This cable features a USB-A connection on one end and USB-C connection on the other. If you set it too high it increases overall contrast in nasty ways that put dark shadows under people's eyes, puts white halos around things and make things look generally cruddy. For instance: Of course the Nikon Z50 works with the larger and excellent SB-700 and SB-5000, just that they are bigger than the camera and you probably don't need all that power. The SB-400 has more than enough power and fits the camera's size better.

The FTZ adapter lets us use Nikon's manual and auto-focus F-Mount lenses, made since 1959, with varying degrees of success. Details. The rubberised grip extends all the way around the side of the camera to the thumb rest at the rear. Unlike the Z 6 and Z 7, the Z50 accepts a single SD card that’s inserted next to the batteryUSB Power Delivery (USB-PD) is a similar concept and feature of some Z series camera bodies including, but not limited to the Z 5, Z 6II, Z f, Z 7II, Z 8 and Z 9 cameras. More puzzling is that the single card slot supports only UHS-1 cards. While reading and writing to the card didn't cause any logjams, it's surprising that UHS-II cards are not supported, especially with 4K video.

The Z50 is a very solid camera with metal top and bottom covers just like the Z7 and Z6. I prefer the Z50's more comfortable plastic control dials over the metal ones of the Z7 and Z6 . In movie mode Auto ISO is used in all exposure modes except 'M,' where it's optional. You cannot set the shutter speed threshold, but Exposure Comp is available, even in M mode. BatteryWhen charging from a household outlet, for most Z series mirrorless cameras, you can also use the optional EH-7P AC Charging Adapter (comes with the USB cable that's used to connect to the camera) or EH-8P Charging Adapter (which needs the UC-E25 cable, sold separately). Both are sold separately and both will charge the camera’s battery much faster than the USB cable drawing power from a computer alone. While the OLED electronic viewfinder screen has a 4:3 aspect ratio so data can fit above and below the 3:2 aspect-ratio camera image, oddly a zoomed image never fills the screen — even if there is no data above or below. There's no accessory port for attaching a remote release, but this function can be achieved using the camera's Bluetooth connection to the SnapBridge smartphone app. Built-in flash

The Center-weighted and Spot modes are obsolete static modes from the 1970s. Nikon leaves them in to satiate old-tymers, and the only time I see people with exposure problems is when someone actually uses these old modes, but doesn't know and apply the Zone System which is required to use these properly, as we did in the 1970s. The Z50's user interface is essentially the same as that of the existing Z models, which is to say: essentially the same as those of Nikon's DSLRs. This means a menu system beginning to creak under the weight of its many, many options, but with one of the best-arranged Custom Settings menus in the business. It's a system with clearly marked sub-sections and consistent color-coding, which makes it easy to navigate and doesn't demand that you memorize it. Now assign the autofocus function to the button of your choosing. Most people would use the top rear AE-L/AF-L button, but hey, it's your camera: Everything works faster and easier than on my Z7 or Z6. Autofocus is super fast, and nothing gets in my way. The Z50 takes normal SD memory cards, not the exotic XQD cards of the Z7 and Z6, and the Z50 and its lenses are significantly smaller and lighter than the Z7 or Z6.A detailed list of camera specifications is available at NikonUSA.com.
