I have been following this in the rumour mill. Yes the Z50 is released. Looking at the specifications here. https://www.dpreview.com/news/1089262758/nikon-introduces-the-z50-a-dx-format-mirrorless-camera-for-z-mount There is no IBIS in the Z50. This is a real loss so I would probably advise anyone not to adopt this DX version right now, unless it really does tick all your needs. But it is a very good low cost little camera. There will be a more expensive Z?? that is DX coming with IBIS. On a positive side it is a direct equivalent in MP and many other features to the D500 but is almost half the price. |

I notice that there is a viewfinder located flash. This makes the camera viewfinder bump larger which may be a real plus point! |

Thanks Robert. The Z50 is noticeably smaller than Z6/7. |

I am thinking a Z50 looks an attractive option to replace a 1J5 but I need to get hands on with one before deciding. Certainly it would eliminate many of the failings of the 1 series. |

I am not impressed with what I have been reading about the Z50 Nikon have made too many errors there is no way I would buy one. See this very good U-Tube film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SFq1_ImjzQ |

For once I am in agreement with Tony Northrup. I think the Z50 should have been a F mount camera in fact it should have been a D500-like camera with an electronic viewfinder and no mirror box. |

Yes, but does this mean that Nikon is going all Z...? Will the D6 be the last F-mount ...? |

The F mount is iconic. We do not need exotic f1.0 or f0.8 lenses, we need excellent f2.0 lenses. The F mount was capable of delivering this. Results from my F mount lenses are not compromised by using them on Z series camera and likewise the camera seems to perform very well with top quality F lenses used with the FTZ adapter. My question is really who identified the need for the Z mount and what was their rationale? Maybe this should be a new thread! |
