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

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

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

Recomendation for beginners

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

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-

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

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.

Pets photography? visor vs screen

I try using the viewfinder to take more shots (because of the movement), but it’s kind of hard, so I end up using the screen. The problem is that it adds a lot of delay/lag after each photo. Live view on the Nikon D5200 is using a contrast detect autofocus system that is terrible compared to the pha

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

Talk me out of a potential mistake.........

The best camera is the one you have with you or will bring with you. So I don’t blame you there. Personally, I’ve been using Nikon for 15+ years. I’ll stick with it. I have a D800 and a Z50ii and am looking to add a Z8 to replace the D800. I feel a Z8 and Z50ii will cover my needs. The ultra compact

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

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
