Nikon Z50 kit 16-50 (VOA050K001)

Nikon only bet on mirrorless cameras in 2018, when full-frame cameras Z6 and Z7 entered the arena of photographic equipment. A year later, with a small "tail", the brand's portfolio was replenished with a cropped Z50 model with an APS-C sensor.

Unification

The camera is unified with the full frames of the Z series, thanks to which, together with its “carcass”, you can use both full-frame and cropped optics. The model borrowed the image sensor from an advanced SLR brother — the Nikon D500 camera. This is a 21 MP image sensor, the sensitivity range of which is measured in the range from 100 to 51200 ISO units. With hardware, the upper ISO bar can be raised to a value of 204800. In fact, an acceptable level of noise in images is maintained when shooting at ISO up to 12800 units.

Fast autofocus

The on-board automatic focus system of the camera has 209 points covering 85% of the field of the future frame. The user has access to focus on eyes and faces, as well as tracking autofocus at a high “flight” speed, during which the camera develops a continuous shooting rate of up to 11 fps. The camera writes videos in the maximum resolution of 4K at 30 fps, but with a 1.5x image crop. Image stabilization will have to be done by handy means, since the Nikon Z50 does not have an in-camera stub.

Thought out to the smallest detail

The mirrorless camera has a handy grip, an electronic viewfinder, a 3.2-inch diagonal touchscreen that flips up to the selfie position, a hot shoe, and a built-in flash. Separate praise bothers the dust and water protection of the camera body. In addition to the kit, the camera comes with a stabilized zoom lens Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f / 3.5-6.3 VR, covering the most popular range of equivalent focal lengths of 24-75 mm.
