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-

Decisions, decisions...another D500 or ???
Performance wise, the Z50II is very similar to the D500 : similar sensor, similar burst rate, similar (albeit more automated) autofocus. Only downgrade is the buffer health and battery, but for action photography it should be rather similar in terms of results and handling (provided you add a plate

I don’t think Nikon takes APS-C very serious right now
The one last thing I would love is z50 II with ibis and dual slot, something closer to d500 equivalent

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

Mirrorless equivalent of D7500?
People are going to say Z50ii, but it's a side-grade. You're going to get similar image quality and AF performance in a smaller body with better video, but the end result is the same. Sometimes a slightly smaller package is all it takes to encourage you to use your camera more, but you're pretty muc

Which setup for wildlife?
Between these two, Z50ii hands down. It’s a newer body, and its AF system with animal/bird detection will blow the a6600 out of the water. As well as video capabilities, should you ever need them. The wildlife lens lineup is superb both on Nikon and Sony, with Nikon having more first party prime opt

Looking to upgrade.
Nikon Z50 II and with an FTZ ... Nikkor 18-140 mm f/3.5-5.6, Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-6.3, Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G, Tokina 10-20 mm f/2.8G I mean, you can do that, but I wouldn't. Simply put, the new 16-50, 18-140, 50-250, and all wide angle options put the older F-mount lenses to shame. An FTZ is an expe

Z50II vs Z5II
Nikon Z50 II is lightweight & compact and so are the kit lenses. Unfortunately, there are very few professional and semi-professional grade lenses. What's more, the body relies on the built-in touch display for a number of interactions, which can quickly become an issue. Especially if it's below 0 C

Should I shoot “a raw cinematic corporate documentary” with manual vintage lenses.
Good comment here, but for industrial, good AF and a gimbal are real go-to's for me. I used to bring an 8' Kessler crane out back in the day, now I get ten shots where I used to get one. I like a small mirrorless for that work, I've been really happy with the little Nikon Z50ii, even with the little
