The Z50 also has lots of physical dials and buttons, including a four-way control wheel, two top control dials, two function buttons and a main function dial. With the deep, chunky grip, it truly feels like a mini DSLR, which gave me confidence shooting in any situation.

At the same time, it has better handling than any other APS-C mirrorless camera I've ever tried. With the tiny, pancake-like 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 lens, the Z50 is a great camera to carry around for street, tourism and family photography. Despite its petite form factor, the Z50 doesn't feel cheap and it's weather-sealed (though not weather-proof), so you can confidently take it into mildly adverse weather. It weighs in at just 397 grams with a battery and memory card, compared to 408 grams for the M6 Mark II - which doesn't even have a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF). Finally, a wider mount has physics on its side, making it easier for Nikon to build sharper, more compact lenses - or just crazy fast ones like the Z-Noct f/0.95.Īnyway, while the mount does look comically huge on the tiny body, the Z50 is a very compact APS-C camera. On top of that, you can use Nikon's DX and FX DSLR lenses on either system with the same adapter. Considering that it only has two native zoom lenses for the Z50 so far (the DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 and DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3) it also means that buyers can use full-frame Z mount lenses if they really need a prime. Having the same mount for both systems likely made development easier, and the company has a lot of ground to make up. Another point is that unsophisticated buyers could easily purchase the wrong lenses for each system. So, why has this caused some controversy?Ĭritics have argued that since many folks buy APS-C mirrorless cameras for their compact size, the large Z mount could reduce its potential in that area. Meanwhile, Nikon stuck with the same mount used on the full-frame Z6 and Z7 cameras. In this mode, Z50 automatically composites multiple shots taken at different focal positions using focus bracketing to create a single image with maximum depth of field.Canon has two separate, incompatible mirrorless mounts: The M mount APS-C system and RF mount for its full-frame EOS R and EOS RP cameras. Macro shooters will love Nikon Z50's Focus Stacking feature. Eye tracking AF of Nikon Z50 is a perfect feature for shooting portraits and is especially useful when fast lenses are used and the depth of field is very narrow. In addition to the face detect AF, Z50 has a more sophisticated feature called Eye Tracking AF which detects and locks focus to the selected eye of the person in the frame accurately and tracks as the subject moves. Nikon Z50 also features Face detection AF where it intelligently detects the faces in the frame and locks the focus automatically. The AF system has 209 points to choose from. Z50 has a built-in flash, and it also has a flash shoe to mount your external flashes too.įocusingNikon Z50 features both Contrast Detection and Phase Detection autofocus (AF) systems which ensures speed and accuracy of focusing in most situations. Nikon Z50 can shoot continuously at max speed of 11.0 fps and has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. Let's look at how the size of the Nikon Z50's APS-C sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.Ĭomparison image of Nikon Z50 Sensor Size with other standard sensors

Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes. Check the comparison of Nikon Z50 vs Canon M6 MII or take a look at Highest resolution Mirrorless cameras list.Īnother important feature about Nikon Z50's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Canon M6 MII with its 33.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Nikon Z50 is not the highest resolution APS-C camera.
