In November 2019, the Nikon Z50 debuted as an entry-level mirrorless camera for beginners. It is the first crop-sensor (DX)...

The Nikon Z 50 is a great little mirrorless camera that offers more features than its entry-level designation implies.

Great image quality, Solid build, Excellent feature set, Slow-motion 4K video

Flip-down LCD blocks tripod mount, No in-body image stabilization, Modest battery life, Limited lens options

Nikon shows why not everyone needs a professional camera with the successful Nikon Z50.

Very good picture and video quality (4K), complete ergonomics, compact and light, fast autofocus and good shooting pace.

Lacks image stabilizer, imprecise tracking focus, multiple touch focus, moderate brightness on the kit zoom.

The Z50 is one of the best APS-C cameras out there offering a multitude of the pro-level features introduced on the Z6 and 7, at a fraction of the price.

Excellent handling; Good dynamic range; Decent value

Not particularly high resolution

Available at a great price and with lots to like - including build quality, handling, a very usable screen and viewfinder - the Z50 might be the new kid on the APS-C mirrorless block, but it’s easily one of the best out there.

Great handling; Attractively priced; Excellent image quality

Tilting screen mechanism no good for tripod mounting; Only a single UHS-I card slot; No joystick for selecting AF points

The new Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera is the smallest interchangeable-lens DX-format camera Nikon offers, and as you can probably tell, I liked it a lot. It’s small and rugged with surprisingly high build quality for the price, and its thin, sleek design is very attractive.

“The Z 50 lets you trim video in-camera and share it wirelessly to your phone, making it perfect for the influencer on the go.”

Weather-sealed; ergonomic design; Excellent image quality; 11 fps burst speed; Wireless video transfers

Autofocus struggles in low light; Few native DX lenses at launch

The Z50 is a capable and comfortable camera to use, for a wide range of photography. The autofocus system is a little more awkward than it needs to be, but generally it's a hugely competitive camera. If the lenses you want to use exist, it should be on your list of cameras to consider.

Travel and everyday photography.

Landscapes and high resolution imagery; Team sports.

The Z50 is a good debut for Nikon’s Z mount APS-C mirrorless system. Unfortunately, it’s entering a very competitive market and faces some strong competition, particularly Fujifilm’s X-T30.

Great handling; compact size; Good EVF; Sharp 4K video; Decent performance and autofocus

Lowest resolution in its category; Single UHS-I card; Limited lens choices

Amazing capabilities in a compact package! Light and durable, crystal clear imaging with dead-on auto focusing. Will spend more time exploring and discovering the endless possibilities of this big move from the old school Nikon F & D era to the next generation Z, it's a one giant step!
