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

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