Z50 II

Nikon Z50 II and with an FTZ ... Nikkor 18-140 mm f/3.5-5.6, Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-6.3, Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G, Tokina 10-20 mm f/2.8G I mean, you can do that, but I wouldn't. Simply put, the new 16-50, 18-140, 50-250, and all wide angle options put the older F-mount lenses to shame. An FTZ is an expe

Nikon Z50 II is lightweight & compact and so are the kit lenses. Unfortunately, there are very few professional and semi-professional grade lenses. What's more, the body relies on the built-in touch display for a number of interactions, which can quickly become an issue. Especially if it's below 0 C

No big upgrade needed? Mate, it has worse autofocus than cameras released in 2019. You can pick-up an a6100 and it will smoke the OM-5 for tracking. That is just not acceptable in 2025. For context, the el cheapo R10 and Z50 II both have their respective flagship’s autofocus algorithms, subject dete

of the expeed 6 cameras, only the z6/7 (and II) can do N-Log, and they have to use an external recorder to record it, and cannot do it natively in-camera. It could be that it's a hardware limitation on the lower cost bodies or nikon's own decision not to enable it to differentiate the different came

Definitely A6700 + 200-600 over Z50 II + 180-600. The A6700 has a higher resolution and IBIS and I think the 200-600 has a reputation for being sharper than the 180-600. The 150-500 recommendation is mostly for budgetary reasons, but it is also much more compact than the big 600mm zooms. Seriously,

Your background AF issue is definitely 'user error', and I don't mean that in an offensive way, only that there are ways you can set up the Nikon Z AF system to prevent that. Chances are you're just used to your D500 form using it for what I assume is several years, so everything just works the way

You made a good choice. There are fanboys for every brand, as you can see in the comments. I was considering the Z50 II myself, but that old low-resolution sensor is a deal-breaker for me. Nikon made a huge mistake cheaping out on that. In the end, these are all good cameras, and I think it comes do

Cheap budget choice? The A6400 was a top-tier APS-C option when it launched and was priced higher than what Nikon is charging in 2025 for its entry-level Z50 II. In fact, it’s still outselling the Z50 II today, because Nikon decided to cheap out and recycle a sensor from 2019. the Z50 II has a very

Keep in mind the Nikon Z50 II has a 9 years old low resolution sensor.so not exactly up to date.also native lens choices are very limited.these are the 2 big cons of Z50 II vs Sony platform.

Yeah, Nikon has been keeping IBIS for its full-frame bodies, which is a pity since the Z50 II has the same Expeed 7 processor as the Z9, Z8 etc.
