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

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

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

Z50ii vs Z5ii

No, in normal shooting cases in good lighting with people who know how to use the cameras, you won't be able to know which shots are from either sensor without looking for clues, like resolution, EXIF data etc. Some here will violently disagree with that statement and some "professionals" will tell

fuji xt-4 or nikon z6

Just keep what you have unless you can get into one of the Expeed 7 bodies, that is where you will notice a positively enormous difference in Nikon land (ZF, Z50II, Z5II, Z6III, Z8, Z9, ZR). If budget is tight, consider a Z5II, it is the newest entry level full frame Nikon Z camera with Expeed 7 and

Z50ii button questions

The answers so far are "somewhat" correct. Video mode is a very easy, quick change. There's a dedicated Photo/Video switch right near the DISP button. It's an easy reach with your thumb. (The DISP button changes between your different view contents -- up to 4 different views of scene and the camera
