Z50 II for $650 is really nice. I don't think you can buy a better camera for $650 USD new or used

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

What do you want to use the camera for? Is this your first camera? Do you need more megapixels? While the Z7 has a really good sensor it otherwise seems like an unexciting camera and was the first of the Z line cameras. The Z50II will have most of the newest tech that Nikon has to offer.
