Other key features offered by the Nikon Z50 include a Various kits with the two new DX Z-mount lenses are also available. The introduction of the new Z50 means that there are now five full-frame and five APS-C cameras in Nikon's camera range. Three of them are mirrorless models, with the Z50 joining the Z6 and Z7 full-frame cameras. Nikon are hoping to tempt people to upgrade from their smartphones or their Dseries Nikon DSLR with the Z50, as well as being an ideal backup camera for Z6 and Z7 owners.
It weighs in at a mere g body only and measures The lovely handgrip is still deep and chunky, while the rubberized covering across the whole camera body adds a tactile quality that belies the Z50's mid-range price-point, as does the magnesium alloy build.
Instead you have to use the slower, less precise method of pressing the four directions on the rear d-pad to move the AF point, with a press of the OK button recentering it. To the left of the lens mount are two customisable function buttons which are useful for assigning oft-used settings to. A lens release button is found on the right of the mount. They can also be used to adjust other settings when holding down other buttons — for example when holding down the ISO button, the rear dial adjusts sensitivity speed, while the front dial enables and disables Auto ISO.
There' also a built-in time-lapse feature and interval timer, and slow-motion movies can be recorded complete with sound. Moving to the back of the Nikon Z50, there are two ways to compose your image — either via the LCD screen or the viewfinder.
This being a mirrorless camera, the Z50 employs an electronic viewfinder. At k dots and with 0. You get a clear view of the overall scene, along with extra benefits over a more traditional DSLR optical finder, such as being able to preview how changes to the camera's settings will affect your final image.
Meanwhile, the K-dot tilting touchscreen is also middle-of-the-road in terms of its specification, rather than class-leading. It gives you the option to change the AF point via the screen, as well as move around menus and make appropriate selections.
Using the touchscreen in conjunction with the physical buttons is a great way to use the Z50, depending on how best you like to work. On a more positive note, the screen can be tilted down below the camera to face forwards by degrees to enable easier selfies and vlogging, something that isn't possible on the more expensive Z6 and Z7 models.
Nikon have also introduced a brand new feature that we've not seen on any other camera before. The Z50 has a permanent column of three controls on the right of the touchscreen. Starting from the top, there are icons for zooming in, zooming out, and toggling between the various display modes. It's quite a neat, if somewhat limited idea, that's meant to make the transition from a smartphone to the Z50 easier.
One of the big advantages that cameras like the Z50 offer over traditional DSLRs is their ability to shoot completely silently. Certain kinds of photographers, such as wedding or quiet sports photographers will likely find this function appealing. The Z50 may be relatively tiny, but Nikon have still managed to fit a built-in pop-up flash into the design, which may prove useful for some fill light if you haven't got a more powerful unit to hand. It locks on pretty much instantaneously for static subjects in good light, while in low light, focusing is a little slower, but not unacceptably slow, with the Z50 capable of focusing down to an impressive -4EV.
The Nikon Z50 camera can shoot at 11fps, faster than the max 9fps that the Z7 can muster and marginally slower than the Z6' 12fps. After some early teething issues, on the whole using the app is a much more pleasant experience than when it first appeared a few years ago. You can use it to automatically send files over to your phone for sharing online, which is useful for social media aficionados.
One of the big controversies at the Z7 and Z6 launch was the decision to only include a single memory card slot. Rather annoyingly for this kind of camera, though, the card slot is in the same compartment as the battery on the bottom of the camera, rather than in a dedicated compartment on the side.
At the time of writing, there are only two DX format, Z mount lenses for the Z50, which accompanied it at launch. While we expect Nikon to bring more to the market during the next months and years, for the time being the available lenses are the main weakness of buying into the Z50 system.
The two kit zooms are both stabilised, important as the Z50 doesn't have built-in IBIS, feature a retractable design to make them more compact, and together cover virtually every focal length that most of the Z50's target market will ever need. The super-slim mm pancake zoom in particular is worthy of praise, forming a tiny package with the Z50, yet still featuring a mechanical zoom mechanism, rather than a power zoom system.
But they are constructed from plastic, offer slow maximum apertures that make it more difficult to throw the background out of focus, and also suffer from a lack of sharpness when shooting wide open. While you can use the generally excellent FX Z-mount lenses that Nikon has released, they're pretty expensive compared to the body-only price of the Z50, and suffer from having a 1.
