Z 30 Body

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

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)

Yeah I picked up the Nikon 40mm f2 which I’ve been using on my Z30 and I do love it. Lack of VR makes it tough for video, but stills are great. Decided I’m going to just pick up a FF camera body and do some home tests with the 40mm. We’ll see!

Thanks! Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I love my little Z30, it’s practically weightless and I’ve taken lots of great shots with it.

And you can also buy 12-28mm lens which versatile and still small. So I’d go with the z30 and the 12-28mm lens. You can use it on auto m

I don't recommend a Ricoh if you want to do any amout of video work. It's a photography first camera and video is very limited. Get something like a Nikon Z30 or Z50ii with the Nikkor 24mm f1.7, or a Fujifilm X-M5 with a similar lens. It'll cost you less and get you better results. Plus you'll have

Sometimes a lens can be good for a purpose even if it is not the best at passing pixel-peeping tests. I just got a 70-300 AF-S VR lens for use on my Z30. My intended use is wildlife video. This is a very undemanding use case. What's needed is only decent VR. One other thing I just re-discovered is t
