Like high-end cinema lenses, it's designed to suppress focus breathing-a common occurrence with smartphones, that makes videos look amateurish. Plus, its AF motor, focusing ring and control ring are virtually silent, so the camera's built-in mic won't pick up noise from the lens during recording.Precision AutofocusThe NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR uses a blazing fast, nearly silent stepping motor for autofocusing, and it performs brilliantly with Z series' Eye AF to keep focus right where you want it.High ContrastAn Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass lens element reduces color defects and glare for sharper, clearer images with outstanding contrast.Customized ControlAssign your favorite function to the control ring-aperture control (great for iris transitions during video recording), ISO adjustments, exposure compensation or manual focus.NIKKOR Z: The front line of an imaging revolution.Designed and optimized to take full advantage of the Z system's larger mount, Z lenses like the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR gather substantially more light, providing even illumination and improved sharpness from the center of the frame to the far edges. Autofocusing is fast and quiet. Video recording is clean and smooth with highly minimized focus breathing and reduced wobbling. Intuitive on-lens controls can be customized to your individual shooting style and so much more. Z lenses are designed with a sense of consistency that combines reliability and beauty with next-dimension optical performance for complete freedom in image creation.

I had a Nikon D7500 which I loved. I do not like this Nikon Z50 at all. Pictures are just not the same quality. Very disappointed

Pictures not the same quality

Love the camera, the pictures are sharp and easy to learn

Nikon z50

quick reveiw

I really like this camera and its easy to transition from my dslr to this mirrorless.  Its smaller and lighter weight.  What I dont like is the sd card is right next to the battery and hard to remove.  Thats the reason for the 4 stars.

Terrific Camera

z 50 camera with lens

so far i am very happy with my z50. haven't had a chance to get out with it a great deal yet but am looking forward to using it. everything seems good, filters are not much but i will be purchasing better ones in the future

z50 package

My first experience with mirrorless cameras after using my D810 with professional lens for years.  I mostly interested in taking still pictures, now so much in video.  The pictures are sharp in the daylight, lots of detail providing you understand that noticeable grain/noise starts to creep in the pictures around ISO 800, which is easy to get too in a hurry with high starting F stop zoom kit lens.  I love the touch screen and the small size and good grip.  Glad Nikon kept on on-board flash. I have spent lots of time watching videos to get the most from the Auto ISO function.  Now i learned to work with the camera to limit noise.   Auto focus is great.  I am sticking with Z lens for now.  The camera single card slot is not a problem so far as I backup my pictures after every shoot.  I agree this is a great travel camera.

Tiny Z50 with Amazing photos.

I really like this camera.  It doesn't seem to take as fine a quality of photos up-close as my Nikon D3200 but that may because this Z50 is a little above my skill level.  Lightweight, small, great audio.  If I could only figure out the focus better I'd love this camera.

Great camera -- but likely above my skill level as an amateur

Adorama completed my order for a Nikon Z50 and extra lens and accessories in perfect condition and fast delivery. In the past I've also ordered a MacBook Pro 14" M1 laptop and love it. Don't hesitate to order from Adorama for some of the best discounts.

Nikon Z50 and accessories ordered. So very happy with purchase.

I love everything about my mirrorless Nikon! I would definitely recommend.

wonderful camera

I've barely scratched the surface of what this Z50 css as n do, but so far I am impressed.

Nicest camera I ever bought

Very happy with the camera and quick shipping

Excellent product

I owned a Nikon Coolpix P7800 for many years.  The image quality was astonishing for a camera with such a small sensor.  However, the exposure range was less than 12 EVs and the color depth was about 20 bits.  This was fine for most situations but I often wanted to see more in my pictures than the camera could deliver.  The Z50 is the perfect replacement for the P7800.  It is not much larger than the P7800, it has a much better electronic viewfinder and the image quality is noticeably better.  I use the 18-140 mm zoom lens, which covers the same range as the 6-42.5 mm lens on the Coolpix.  So far, the difference of 1 and 2/3 stops between the two lenses has not been a problem, thanks to the higher ISOs of the Z50 and the vibration reduction mechanism in the lens.  This is a great little camera.  And it has many, many features that I have not tried yet.

A Great Camera

Someone tell me what took me so long to get here. I have been shooting in excess of 45 years. The last 25 or so have been moving more and more into the digital world. The latest venture has been to mirrorless. Not wanting to take out a mortgage, I decided to go with the Nikon Z50 with the FTZ II adapter. These are pretty much out of the box shots. The lens is the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8g (non-VR) lens. I am loving the results and quickly learning more about the operation of this pocket size mirrorless DSLR. 
Image # 1 is ISO 1000, 60mm, f/2.8, at 1/125 sec.
Image #2 is ISO 320, 70mm, f/4, 1/60 sec

Both were shot with available light and color balanced to the room using a Kodak 18% Gray card.

My major concern was would the lens work as designed with the FTZ II attached and the second considerations was what the image quality would like like. Got to say, very low noise and with the wide open aperture not really bad. Keep in mind that the 24-70mm f/2.8g is not designed for the APC sensor so, there is a focusing mismatch. I am liking this little guy and I may end up hocking off both of the D700s, and maybe the D610 to jump up to a Z 7 or so. The Z 9 lives in another Zip Code and can't afford the rent in that area of town. 

Would I recommend? Hell yeah!!!!!!

The possibilities are endless!!!!!!!

I bought my Z50 from Nikon as a refurb with both kit lenses.  It has been a great buy-a fine picture taker that is super light and easy to use. My previous kit was a D7100 with various lenses and a Panasonic m4/3 with multiple lenses. I loved the portability of the Panny but hated it?s many small, fiddly buttons. I liked the ease of use of the D7100 but found it a little too heavy for casual use. The Z50 has been perfect, providing all the quality I need as an ?advanced amateur? while being almost as light as the Panasonic and as easy to use as the D7100.

Great quality, light and easy to use

The Nikon Z50 is a magnificent camera for a beginner through to fairly serious enthusiast. This particular package came with 16-50MM and a 50-250MM Nikkor lenses. It just seemed to make sense rather than the adapter and use my older Nikkor lenses from an older Nikon D5000. It also came with a carry bag, several filters and lens cleaning kit which was a nice addition to the package. It also included some Corel photo editing and image conversion software which I am yet to explore. The images are simply beautiful and the convenience of wi-fi transfer to one's smartphone is a nice touch. Only two downsides are the battery life in the camera is so-so meaning a few spare batteries are needed for a full day. Also, the bluetooth capability on the camera would not connect to my smartphone at all but as long as wi-fi worked, that is a nit. Being able to capture photos and 4K video on one device with this power is huge. Can't wait to really put it through it's paces on an upcoming cruise.

Nikon Z50 - Simply Beautiful Images - A Truly Welcome Upgrade!!!!

My Z50 is my first mirror less camera. I wanted a second body to complement my D7200, I have a 18/300 DX lens and the wonderful 200/500 f5.6 telephoto that I am very happy with for my photo interest. I love to photograph birds, landscapes, flowers, night photography lots of interest. I thought very strongly about getting D7500, but after seeing wonderful images being taken with the Nikon mirror less cameras, and knowing this is the technology of the future I chose the Z50. I am very glad I made this choice, I have found the setup easy and Nikon user friendly (having had the D7200 a while and a previous D5100) finding things were easy. The EVF is the most ?different? item to get used to. Everyone is different but for me this was pretty easy for me, after taking the brightness us one step on the EVF I love it outdoors and in. I wanted to stay with a DX sensor due to my wildlife interest for the reach. I got the FTZ II adapter with the camera body only so I can mount one lens on the Z50 and one on the D7200  to be ready for anything while out and about. The Z50 shines with the huge telephoto lens as well as my beloved 18/300 all around lens. The controls are amazingly easy to interact with while shooting and extremely well thought out. Many of the buttons I customized on my D7200 were set up in the way I use that camera (probably just lucky but welcome) by default. Image quality is superb, the camera feels very well made and finished. I will add Z series lenses when possible, however I am so pleased to be able to use my existing lenses for now. I also considered a D500, however I like to engage in the ?newer tech? when I see an industry  going a certain way. I sincerely hope Nikon continues development of the DX line and the rumored Z60 or Z70 is in our future. I am still learning the capabilities and very much enjoying the results. I believe Z50?s capabilities will be enjoyed a long while, thanks for a great camera!

Mighty Z50 is the real deal

Great camera. Firmware 2.2 was a good upgrade but the autofocus tracking still needs improvement especially with Nikon 800mm f/6.3 pf and also fix the focus breathing problems with this lens.

Nikon PLEASE... PLEASE add a spring to the battery doors of ALL cameras. Also the lever that we need to push to open the battery door, add a small notch to that lever for the finger nail to hook onto.

If you do not know how to implement spring on a battery doors, look at any Sony camera. The moment the battery door level is pressed, the spring helps in popping the door open.

This is a very simple thing and it's very irritating trying to open battery doors on ALL Nikon cameras.

Great camera

Everything came as described on line and as ordered. We?re extremely satisfied with new Z50 Nikon camera, lenses and all additional equipment we got from Adorama. We got a personal photography concierge for 90 days free with this purchase. I had several questions about the camera and software. All my questions were answered quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Adorama to everyone!

We are extremely satisfied with Adorama

Adorama offered the Nikon Z50 with the FTZ adapter for my old Nikon lenses and with a 16-50mm and 50-250mm lens for a price that beat all the competition. It came with two sets of filters, one for each lens. I didn't really need the other stuff, but it came with a very practical camera bag and a high speed SD card.
The camera was delivered in a couple of days after ordering. 
I had been using a Nikon D7500, and Z50 is basically a mirrorless twin of the D7500. But it has some extra features that are pure fun to use. Of course, it is much lighter than the D7500, so that is great for travel. 
I used the FTZ adapter to take bird photos with my 600mm lens. Spectacular results. I cannot believe this camera sells for this price.

You won't find a better deal for a Nikon Z50

So I have a Z7ii  and a Z50.  I do love both cameras .TheZ50 is FUN camera to use! Here is my Z50 three star issues. One... the current lenses, and projected lenses are just WAY to slow. None seem to be in the future line up! A bit disappointed even at this price. Next ?   NO IBIS?  Really Nikon?  What were you thinking at this price....  
Go back to Design. Call it Z60... 1st take the 24mp crop sensor from the D5600, (killer sensor) Then put stabilization in the body, and make a line of faster Z crop lenses....I would buy 2 towmorrow!

NEED TO GO BACK TO R&D     Z60 please

Great walking around camera for when I don't want to carry my heavey D750.
The Z 50 has most features of my D750 but much lighter and the Mirrorless is pretty cool!

Great Camera!!!

Bought this as a replacement for my Nikon D7500.  So far, I think I?m really going to like this camera.

Nikon Z50 is great!

I've had my Z50 for over a year and almost 30,000 shots. I've had no issues with the hardware. Image quality is incredible. The autofocus is more than good enough for most situations. For portraits, landscapes or kids playing it will be near perfect. For sports and faster moving subjects the autofocus and subject tracking along with 11fps (make sure to have a fast enough card) nail focus about 85-90% of the time. The Z50 with the kit lens, 28mm f2.8 or 40mm f2 fit comfortably in a jacket pocket. I've used the 85mm 1.8s, 50mm 1.8s, 50mm macro and 70-200mm 2.8S and the results are stellar. No one would consider the results "entry level" If the Z50 had IBIS and dual card slots I would use this my main (photo) camera.

The Z50 punches above its weight!

Nice and compact.. just what I was looking for

Happy with this camera

It?s going to be a while before I find out all the things this camera can do.  Obviously much more than I?ll need. One of the main reasons I got it was for the Bluetooth capability to my phone.  The two lenses are all I need for lenses.

More than enough camera for a great price!

I've been using the Z-50 for a few weeks now, and as I get comfortable with it, I am liking it more. 

The Z-50 is incredibly lightweight compared to my old D600. The digital image preview takes a little while to get used to, but the sharpness of the pictures its takes are great.

And the ability to use most of my older lens with the Nikon adapter that is available is a bonus so you aren't left with a lot of glass that is not usable.

Nikon Z-50 Mirrorless

Nice camera

Most everything was back ordered but got it soon enough!

I finally pulled the trigger on the Z50 when I realized Nikon had released the Z DX 18-140 Lens. I write for a newspaper and take my own photos, for print and for the website. Stories and photos go to the editor via email and the Cloud. We email and text, and really meet in person only once in a while. 

 When I go to a roadside construction site story, I don't need to be swapping lenses in the dust and grime. When conducting an interview, the less obtrusive the better. A quiet little camera works out better than heavy artillery.

When I attend public meetings, my note taking is video, as are one-on-one interviews with the people I meet. More accurate quotes than reading my scribbles.  I was using a pair of D5600s, but the video to photo and back again process was a little clunky, having to switch from the photo viewfinder to the display screen. Taking photos on the display screen meant too much lag time and poor timing for the moment.

Everything is more efficient now! My camera bag has everything I need, and now it doesn't pull out my shoulder. I appreciate the 1.5 crop factor for DX, as it makes telephoto more accessible.

However, a little interpersonal action at home confirmed the wisdom of the Z50 upgrade. My wife downstairs texted up to my office: "Nice Sunset." I came down the stairs with the little Z50 gem, passed her on the porch and said, "I'll get some shots for you with the new Z50." 

Up the street, past the power lines, as unobtrusive as anyone out on an evening walk. Gorgeous color sunset framed with early Spring budding trees. Took about two dozen photos of the sunset, the full moon coming out behind our house, and the bouquet of roses on the kitchen table. Memory card into the Mac, selected a dozen, put them in the Cloud and emailed the link to my wife. 

"OOOOOOhhhhh!" she said. "Awwwww! You took pictures of my roses! Ohhh, they came out nice." 

The pictures were quick, easy, and, well, professionally crisp and nicely layed out. Happy Wife, happy life, First assignment was a winner, and I expect the rest of the Z50 relationship to go just as well. More DX lenses. More DX lenses. Quicker, brighter ones too!
