Good value in a compact package. Kit lenses are better than expected. AF settings are great.

Shipped on time, like the camera,,,,,, but don't mess with buying the case it so small it will only hold the camera or the lenses not both. Total waste of shipping.

As a long-time owner of a Nikon Z50, I already have a number of DX and FX Z-mount lenses. I was interested in the new model's upgrades and improvements. The grip is slightly bigger-an improvement. One does feel a bit more weight in the body...something I'd have preferred not to have but perhaps that was needed to accomodate the new capabilities. I also really appreciate the new model's flip out LCD (which i value for vertical/portrait shots), and the replacement of those LCD fake buttons with actual buttons. I'm also hoping the improved auto focus will help this serve as my birding-able camera, though I haven't been able to test it for that yet. I also haven't noticed any real decline in battery life.

Love this little powerhouse! It has most of the features of the big boys but in a small and compact little body that makes it easy to take with you even on short trips. The photos it produces are beautiful.

I have only taken a 100 or so pictures and it is all that I hoped it would be. A great little camera with many pro features. Especially great auto focus.
