Is Nikon Z50 II better than Canon R50 bundle for a beginner?
I wouldn't recommend the R50 as the growth potential is lower. The Z50II has the better processor, imaging recipes for fun, and nikon imaging cloud support (auto uploads to lightroom/google drive/dropbox). I think Canon's software is legacy and behind. The Z50II also has bird AF so if this person ge

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-

The Nikon, the kit lenses are better and Nikon didn't bring the cripple hammer to the Z50II so it gets the full range of automatic AF capabilities from the Z9. But it's not by a lot (OK, the lens is a lot better, the body less so), they're both very good.

Recomendation for beginners
Okay, so a couple of things That is absolutely the right camera to start learning photography - good job. Until the Z50II came out I always recommended the ZFc but for various reasons the Z50II is now the better choice Don't buy new. See if Nikon has that exact gear available refurbished at a discou

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

Wiggly guy spotted today by LA river. (plz disregard the dinosaur)
Nikon Z50ii + 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 + 1.4x teleconverter It's a really great setup for birding, and yesterday I guess it came in handy for fishing too!

He's dead, Jim (D500 replacements?).
Nikon would've broke the bank with how much something along the lines of a z500 would sell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but z50ii proves that there's still demand for aps-c mirrorless bodies. D500 is one of the best cameras that nikon has ever made in my opinion, and a mirrorless alternative with ibis

Z50II lifespan
The Z50ii has an expected shutter life of 100,000 or more actuations and should be able to get 2-3 times that before needed replaced. You still have a lot of life left in your camera. I’d be more worried about the rubber port covers stretching out and not fitting back in place (known issue for as lo
