Z30 to Z50ii big enough upgrade?
it has the same exact sensor. It doesn't have the same sensor. Although Nikon introduced a 20.9MP sensor in 2017 with the D500, it's undergone two major upgrades since then: the first to the Z30/Z50/Zfc's sensor to add phase detect autofocus and improve readout speed, and again for the Z50II to give

Camera for low light/indoors?
Nikon was selling a refurbished Z30 with a kit lens for $399. This camera is tiny but will outperform any DX-size DSLR Nikon ever made. If you want, you can use your old F-mount lens if you buy the ZTZ for $100 (used). Shooting with only an LCD screen will horrify all the grumpy old men on the forum

Do the third party grips for the Zf completely make up for the ergonomic deficiency in the body or are users still making a compromise to get that vintage feel?
The ZFc is frankly not good value unless you buy used and know what you’re getting into. The ZF is a capable full-frame camera in a Fujifilm-esque body. The ZFc is a Nikon Z30 shoved inside a smaller version of the ZF. You get a nice looking metal body (albeit with a cheap feeling plasticky coating)

I'm planning on buying D3300 for bird photography. Is it a good choice? Also some cheap lens advice would be much appreciated.
Have you considered a Nikon Z30? They go for crazy cheap on the used market, at least in America. I got mine for $400 with a lens, but I’ve seen them go for as little as $300. Really, any mirrorless Nikon would be a massive upgrade over a D3300, and you’ll want modern autofocus for wildlife photogra

Tips für Neueinsteiger
Die Nikon Z30 ist weitaus moderner als die alpha 6000 und hat entsprechend modernere Specs und auch Fähigkeiten beim Autofokus. Die Fujifilm X-T10 und X-T20 sind auf der anderen Seite interessant da sie mit Fujifilms Filmsimulationen kommen. Dh. du kannst da schon direkt in der Kamera eine Menge an

Nikon Z5 II Vs Z50 II
I owned a z30 before I bought my z5 II and having to rely on lens vr and digital stabilisation was a little bit limiting on lens choice and tracking since more movement would compromise both these counter measures. I do prefer the wider fov of ff as well as the ibis since I don’t think Nikon Sony or

Updates! The Ultimate Z Series Remote Control App (ZR Ctl)
Tested on my Z30 in both direct (camera AP) mode and via bonjour. Works, and the view is responsive. Not many features or adjustments are available on the Z30, though. I can adjust ISO, but trying to tweak anything else hangs it. Some camera settings (most notably shutter speed) don't populate in th

Low light photography?
Your main issue isn’t the Z30, it’s low light + autofocus limits + movement. First thing: in dark scenes, autofocus struggles because there’s not enough contrast. That’s why it feels like it’s “not focusing.” Try switching to manual focus and using focus peaking. It’s way more reliable in abandoned/

Shooting myself - Nikon Z30 + Sigma 30mm f/1.4 a good bet?
Yes, each camera maker nowadays has an app that can pair your phone with your camera, you could use this to enable autofocus, take photos, take video, change settings, etc. Usually it's a bit annoying compared to using the camera, but better than using an old school remote shutter release. Specifica

Should I get a Ricoh GR IV as a first camera, mainly for hiking landscape photos?
This might be the perfect post for you. It was popular a while back and also pinned by the mods. idk why they unpimmed it, because questions like this are asked everyday here. I use the Ricoh GR for hiking and landscape too. It's fine. Not beginner friendly at all, but I was already pretty experienc
