Pros: I like it for the size and weight contained in a solid and well-built body. Excellent grip but must be helped with a dedicated accessory. Good level of customization. Usable and intuitive menu. Operating speed. Quality of jpg files (I use it mainly in jpg) and excellent iso tightness.

Cons: Maybe the battery but with a couple it solves. The side cover of the doors is made of rubber and seems thin to me, over time I fear it will remain in my hand. The front ring is too deep in the body and is difficult to turn easily (or perhaps it is designed for this reason?). Anything else honestly doesn't come to mind.

Opinion: I wanted to reset and so I gave away Fujifilm and went back to Nikon, the last time I used the brand I had a D750. I immediately found myself at home with a well-organized and easy-to-understand menu. Z30 is a surprise, I chose it for the cost (it is the first step of the Nikon Z evolutionary ladder) and for the shape (without viewfinder) for a "family" use and pure amusement so what I write must be framed in this context. Kit socket with 50-250 and 16-50. All this plastic has a great quality both in terms of construction and files (I printed 40x60 an image at 5000 iso and it doesn't crease). It can also be used with one hand, the thumb focuses and the index finger clicks as long as you mount the smallrig (I put the 3857 only plate) otherwise the little finger goes for a walk and the stability is also affected it makes it a little heavier which does not hurt. I took the power supply and 1 battery apart. The absence of the viewfinder is initially felt using the telephoto lens, it is natural to bring it closer to the eye, the support of the face is missing but it is a matter of getting the hang of it, the stabilization of the lenses helps. It is enjoyable both by setting some parameters in the car for example the iso but also completely in manual with 50s lenses, the "Urth" M42 adapter is very well done, it seems to be one with the lens and not an additional body. Over the years I have always tried to take well-made material, metal and glass (see Fujifilm), convinced that quality also depended on this and why not also for pure enjoyment in hearing the click of the ring mechanisms, the smell of fake leather and the cold of the metal bodies. Using the Z30 and plastic kit you lose the romanticism linked to the materials as with many new generation products and then why Z30? I saw a sort of "review" on YouTube, father and son, unpacking the Z30 50-250 16-50 kit with skyrocketing enthusiasm, contagious, imagining trips everywhere. I felt a certain envy in seeing the joy they released, the same I felt at the beginning with the first reflex used (Praktica BC1). I wanted to relive those feelings, disconnected from everything, almost unaware. I learned that some things don't add up and that the Z30 is a great car.

Pros: Portability, high-performance sensor, excellent autofocus, can be used with any lens with great satisfaction

Cons: Nothing knowing that if you buy it it doesn't have a viewfinder

Opinion: This handy little camera surprised me, it has great quality and a myriad of programmable features. I used it for a while in different situations and it did not disappoint... I come as a use from many more pro but older Nikon cameras and I must admit that technology has gone a long way on some aspects... Especially AF speed. This little one made me fall in love and I want to take it everywhere where I need lightness without losing quality, among other things the crop factor of 1.5 of the APS format in macro is very useful. I leave the classification of entry level and suitable for bloggers, to those who do not know what to do with photography or chase labels.

Pros: size, weight and unbeatable value for money

Cons: ISO tightness but with APSC you can't expect too much, lack of viewfinder

Opinion: I bought this ML to do birdlife with ground camera and it did not disappoint. Everyone advised me against it at the beginning, those who didn't try it, as always, then reading a review by a competent person and an old photographer like me I decided. I found an offer on prime day and I took it home for very little (Kit) compared to what this small mirrorless can give, simply perfect and with jpg ready immediately. My galleries speak for themselves, I've had D800 and D500 and never missed them. With avifauna on the pose sometimes the viewfinder would be useful but it is not a problem since I mainly use it in darkened environments for camouflage. Because of this lack it is not recommended in wandering hunting and outdoors of course, as a perfect hide. Like all nikon mls, it works very well with its Z lenses, even if I adapted it with an old 400 2.8. With adapter the fire is not always perfect while becoming a sniper with native z. You will have to get used to the idea that the future will be on native z lenses, the beautiful afd and afs will remain a nice memory to use with reflex cameras.

Pros: Practicality with few limits

Cons: NN

Opinion: Definitively returned to Nikon DSLR after a love-hate story ended badly with ML camera of a famous APS-C brand, for the needs of portability in holiday or Sunday raids, I decided to buy this device, aware of its physical limitations. Excellent AF features, eye recognition, people recognition, trouble-free tracking and finally responsive display. On the quality of the files and the resistance to noise at high sensitivities, as a professional accustomed to D5 that does not bend up to impossible iso, perhaps a bit noisy from 1600-2000 iso, but more than acceptable for the type of use. Body and optics kit fantastic combination, I thought it was lighter and more fragile, but it is nice and substantial. The menus, as a Nikon user since always (we are talking about the 80s film) have not changed substantially but, like all entry level cameras, some settings are to be found in the menus and are not relegated to physical buttons as on D5, but we are talking about another planet. Also the video side is absolutely not bad for the use for which it is designed. Final grade: a nice well-deserved 9.

Pros: Ergonomics, lightness, compactness, articulated screen, button position, menu, display, charging via USB-C while in use

Cons: Lack of viewfinder

Opinion: I've been using the z50 for almost a year but it didn't convince me and so I took the z30, I have to say that there are small improvements that make you appreciate it a lot, such as the addition of various functions more than the z50 on the menu. The display in my opinion is better, slightly longer battery life, the "display" and "+/-" keys are better placed on the z30 and easier to use even in winter with gloves. If they had put the viewfinder on it would have been perfect. Rated 9!
