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

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-

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

Z50ii

Was very happy with my z50 ii. Liked it more than my old d500 due to smaller size and af tracking—image quality was slightly better but possibly due to the more accurate focus. Either something is wrong with your z50 ii or there’s a bit of user error with the new mirrorless system. I had a d90, d700

I'm planning on buying D3300 for bird photography. Is it a good choice? Also some cheap lens advice would be much appreciated.

I went from a d3200 to a z50ii, it was the best choice I ever made hobby-wise. Even with the kit lenses I was having a blast and getting far more hits than I ever did with my d3200, the processor and AF are lightyears ahead in comparison. Grab a refurb from Nikon when it's available, and save up for

Nikon USA Refurbished Sale is up

Z50 II for $650 is really nice. I don't think you can buy a better camera for $650 USD new or used

Considering the move from Fuji to Nikon as a pro photographer

You should probably rent a Z6III or Z8 and Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 or 70-200 f2.8 and use it as either a spare camera on a shoot or run through an event you’re at but not necessarily getting paid for. So let’s start with this- full frame when shooting wide open at any field of view is going to require a l

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

Is d500 worth it?

I had both the d500 and z50 ii for a whil and would swap them as a curiosity. I found for AF, the z50 ii was significantly better (ie easier) to get birds. This doesn’t make the d500 bad, but I could get more photos in focus with the z. Subject detection is like cheating haha. Group AF on the d500 w

Kamera zum Birden

Von denen, DEFINITIV R7 + 100-400. Ziemlich ordentliche Kamera und wiegt nicht viel. Die P950 ist eher für Beweisfotos bei gutem Licht. Wenn du eher in Wäldern oder anderweitig bei wenig Licht unterwegs bist, kannst du dir auch die Sony A6700 + 70-350 anschauen. Die ist sogar minimal leichter und ko
