Z50 II

I wouldn't recommend the R50 as the growth potential is lower. The Z50II has the better processor, imaging recipes for fun, and nikon imaging cloud support (auto uploads to lightroom/google drive/dropbox). I think Canon's software is legacy and behind. The Z50II also has bird AF so if this person ge

Make the same camera but put the z50 ii sensor and processor in it and it would be incredible

No Z8 II soon, it will be at least a year after a Z9II, and the only pro Z cameras (settings banks like you're used to) are the Z8 and Z9. The highest-end DX Z body is the Z50II, which is a D5x00 replacement camera and not nearly up to the pro standards. Why not just send it to Nikon and use their f

I can't speak for the Canon; I shoot full frame Z bodies, 80-90% corporate/industrial video and some corporate stills/product shoots. The little Z50ii is my little gimbal monster though - it punches way above its weight/price. Nikon simply didn't cripple the thing in any meaningful way. It lacks in-

The Nikon, the kit lenses are better and Nikon didn't bring the cripple hammer to the Z50II so it gets the full range of automatic AF capabilities from the Z9. But it's not by a lot (OK, the lens is a lot better, the body less so), they're both very good.

Okay, so a couple of things That is absolutely the right camera to start learning photography - good job. Until the Z50II came out I always recommended the ZFc but for various reasons the Z50II is now the better choice Don't buy new. See if Nikon has that exact gear available refurbished at a discou

The Z50 II is an excellent camera and would be a good entry point into the Nikon Z system.

Nikon would've broke the bank with how much something along the lines of a z500 would sell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but z50ii proves that there's still demand for aps-c mirrorless bodies. D500 is one of the best cameras that nikon has ever made in my opinion, and a mirrorless alternative with ibis

The Z50ii is Nikons best APSC body right now, it's more than enough for most things. If you want to do more video focussed stuff then maybe a Z6III would be an options as it's a great hybrid body but it'd also very expensive

Z50ii, look for the 2-lens kit on Nikon’s refurb sale. It’s hands down Nikon’s best entry-level wildlife camera.
