Will Nikon ever make a Coolpix A successor?
Make the same camera but put the z50 ii sensor and processor in it and it would be incredible

He's dead, Jim (D500 replacements?).
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

Is Nikon Z50 II better than Canon R50 bundle for a beginner?
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-

Nikon Z50 II - lens choice
I would get the Z50 II with both kit lenses. Both lenses are very sharp, lightweight, and excellent value, especially when purchased as part of the kit. On NikonUSA.com, adding the 50–250mm to the 16–50mm kit is only about $250 more than buying the body with just the 16–50mm. It's well worth the ext

Gear struggle…
I am a little confused. What is your biggest concern: weight or the lack of affordable lens choices? If it's weight, I'd pick up a Z50 II with the two kit lenses for those times when you want to travel light. Since it has the same Expeed 7 processor as your Z6 III, I think it's a much better choice

Z50ii
Was very happy with my z50 ii. Liked it more than my old d500 due to smaller size and af tracking—image quality was slightly better but possibly due to the more accurate focus. Either something is wrong with your z50 ii or there’s a bit of user error with the new mirrorless system. I had a d90, d700

Upgrading my D7000 to Z50ii or Z5ii for low-light events (using f2.8 zoom)

I'm planning on buying D3300 for bird photography. Is it a good choice? Also some cheap lens advice would be much appreciated.
I went from a d3200 to a z50ii, it was the best choice I ever made hobby-wise. Even with the kit lenses I was having a blast and getting far more hits than I ever did with my d3200, the processor and AF are lightyears ahead in comparison. Grab a refurb from Nikon when it's available, and save up for

Is a secondhand Nikon Z50 good for fashion/ street photography?
It's an excellent camera, particularly in view of the small size, so it looks discrete and is easy to carry. However it does have limitations, the main one being poor subject detect AF (all of that generation of Nikons do), so if you wanted the camera to do the heavy lifting (focussing on eyes etc)

Z50II vs Z5II
I moved from Z50 II to Z5 II. I value IBIS more. My other cameras have IBIS and I couldn't go back to a body without IBIS. As for the size, with 40mm, 28mm and 75mm primes the Z5 II isn't that big of a camera. AF performance is a wash between two. Lens selection for Z DX is pretty small and no prime
