Pros:Scary autofocus, image quality comparable to a d500 (which I own)
Cons:Battery that does not last very long especially in slowmotion video
Opinion:First experience for me in the Nikon mirrorless world, I must tell you that I didn't expect it! Nice light and with an excellent autofocus and colors, maybe the screen is not too sharp but still you can understand if the photo is out in focus or not (and there are very few blurry photos dinners) I also private some videos, both normal and slowmotion and both are well done and with excellent quality, of course the slowmotion has a small loss of quality but anyway I don't mind at all. Well made menu with lots of settings. Tested with ftz mount 1st version and my nikkor 70-200 f2.8 vrii works great (on a par with the d500 or d7500)
Pros:Weight and compactness, AF, ISO tightness, light and workable files
Cons:Battery.
Opinion:All-rounder machine with its 21mpx does not miss anything, from the excellent iso hold to the good and workable files. The camera holds very well in the hand and Af really good with the recognition of the faces of birds, of animals that it tracks even in difficult situations (sometimes it loses but resumes immediately). Tested with the ftz ii adapter, the tamron 150 600 g2 and other nikon F mount lenses, working perfectly and with very fast af. I bought it with the small and high-performance 16 50 that allows you to always carry it around without feeling the weight. The viewfinder is excellent, not very large but very bright, moreover the adjustable display is comfortable on many occasions such as on the tripod. The always great Nikon classic menu and button customizations are another merit of the z50ii. In conclusion, if you don't have many economic resources, with a millino this camera will not disappoint you with its excellent Af, good viewfinder and a lightness to be envied .... The only drawback: buy yourself three four batteries.
Pros:Compatibility, excellent files, iso tightness, animal eye recognition
Cons:Battery life
Opinion:I bought the Nikon Z50II, as a second body (I already have a Z9) replacing it with the Z6 II, because practicing only nature photography I am interested in animal eye tracking. I must say that he responds very well to expectations, he is not a splinter, but his job does it. The battery life is unacceptable, after 200 shots in raw it already reports the "red"! If you go on you get to 260-280 shots, but I still find it ridiculous. Sometimes 200 shots are taken in a few hours. I understand that the car costs about 1000 euros and you can buy spare batteries or attach a power bank to it, but holy god couldn't they make it cost a little more and offer a decent battery life?
Pros:AF, Nikon's signature menu, clean files even at high ISO, weight and overall dimensions
Cons:perhaps IBIS and a 24/26 Mpxl sensor would have made it perfect, but that's okay - dedicated DX lenses too few - battery life
Opinion:after bitter disappointments regarding the recent Fuji camera bodies with uncertain and fluctuating AF, I decided to abandon the brand (too bad for the wonderful optics) and I bought the Z50 II kit with 16-50, 50-250 and I also gave myself the 180-600 and the 12-28. I went to try it in the beautiful Gran Paradiso park in search of animals unfortunately during a gloomy day. Despite the scarcity of light and therefore using high ISO up to 6400 (and beyond) the little girl responded very well by churning out clean files and adequate colors. AF not infallible, but very responsive and up to the situation thanks also to the recognition of mammals and birds. Of course I want to test it also on the landscape where Fuji excelled but for now I am very satisfied and I hope that in the future Nikon can churn out a professional APS-C body (and a few more DX lenses) so as not to make me regret my D500 too much, which however this Z50 II more than worthily supports. I reserve the right to investigate when I have had it in my hands for a little longer. For trekking photos in the high mountains, weight and dimensions are also a decisive factor, a field in which the little girl and her kit excel. Get a few extra batteries because, especially in the cold, you don't end the day... P.S. I found the LUT button for my kind of photography COMPLETELY USELESS, fortunately you can change it from the menu dedicating it to more interesting functions (for me)
Pros:Improved AF, operability and ergonomics compared to the previous one. Excellent proposal for the asking price The lens system available is lightweight but very performing, excellent alternatives from Viltrox to the more than good nikon optics
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:I had Z50 and I now have a ZFc, the sensor is that but it's a nice apsc sensor, but with the Z50 II the system makes a big leap forward. The expeed 7, the new AF module now transversal to all models and the other functions introduced make it a small compact alternative to a FF kit. Having already a Z9 kit when you have to go light I prefer the nikon dx system. Ideal for tourism, family use and for those where a Z9 and its lenses that I use in the studio, sports, birdlife are not essential. AF has improved but not with the same percentages of on focus as what the expeed 7 can do with a stacked sensor. The operation, however, is close to that of the FF sisters of various sizes. Customizable keys complete the work. I also find the ergonomics improved. At the price proposed for me it is highly recommended
