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-

Back to Nikon! Prepare to see the worst photos taken with a Z8

Nearly 3 years ago I switched to Sony A7iii from a Nikon z50. The reasons were many, but mostly that there were no affordable fast zooms, be it 1st or 3rd party.

Now things have changed, and the Z mount has not only great native glass, but also some of my favorites from E mount. Unfortunately, Son

Which camera should I pick for my first camera?

Hi guys. I’ve been jumping around the bush for months deciding which camera should I choose for my first camera between fujifilm xm5 and Nikon z50 ii.

I am new to camera, but I have some basic understanding of camera.

My goal is to use it for 50% photography and 50% videography. I am not planning

Upgrade but unsure what to get mirrorless or dSLR full frame

Recommend Z50 II if want use human, animal eye AF and subject tracking. If don't need those features better get D750. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-Z50-II-vs-Nikon-D750 https://youtu.be/RPJHDSOFD5c https://youtu.be/wkLjvr0XMic https://youtu.be/CxdMgVO9d7s

Is Ricoh GR just better?

GRs are super portable, so you are inclined to take it to more places, take more photos and create more chances to take good picture. However, these are niche cameras with dogshit video quality, fairly slow fixed prime lens and mediocre at best autofocus - old Nikon D750 blows it out of the water an

Going Z50II after D610/D7100 was a good decision. My opinion on going MILC after DSLRs

1/800, F8.0, ISO 7200, 600mm

Recently I've posted that I got a Z50II, in addition to my D5200/D7100/D610 and few days ago I got FTZ II and I've used my Sigma 150-600 C on Z50II. So here's my short impression/opinion by categories.

!By the way, sorry for such big rectangles with settings, I've

Black-crowned night heron

Nikon Z50, AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR.

1/1000, ISO 1800, 500 mm.

My keeper rate was under 4% yesterday. Frustrating, but I did get this shot.

Bird photographer looking for a new camera

The N50ii has AI-based automatic bird detection autofocus. No Nikon DSLR has this. The N50ii will outperform any DX DSLR. And there is no futzing around with where to place the AF sensor. The camera sees the picture and things "bird" and handles it for you. The newer FX Z-mount bodies have not only

FTZ adapter lens recommendations

I doubt you'll save much money, thanks to the existence of lenses like the 70-180 f/2.8 and the like. For me, the rubric for adapting a lens to a DX camera is: At least $100 cheaper than getting a native lens (otherwise why get a $300 adapter to make a big unwieldy package) Be size appropriate, as a
