Pros:Price, autofocus, burst, effective and cheap DX lens system, 4K 50 10 bit with log, nice customization, lightness
Cons:A little small for my hands
Opinion:I want to be concise, I have a Leica Q3 43, a Canon R6 Mark II and out of curiosity I wanted to put this little wonder in the studio by exchanging some photographic material that I had on the shelf unused for a long time. For the price it has it is impossible to expect better, this camera unmasks the marketing games of the photographic companies, it has everything you need and it does it well, I mainly use the 50/250 which in combination is deadly for speed and quality and the 40 f2 for portraits. I also tested it in the video shooting in 10 bit tone N.log and the file is very beautiful. A bit of rolling shutter in fast movements. Passed with flying colors, a real bowler hat
Opinion:Surely having had the previous model, the improvement is there and it is noticeable... operating speed, MAF, ergonomics decidedly of another level. Mainly I use it in the office for dental and forensic documentation, so mainly with the macro Z50, some uncertainty with reflective subjects, such as aesthetic surfaces of disilicate or zirconia prostheses, but easily amendable using the touch function on the screen. I also took the 16/50 and the 50/250 on offer, with this set, I do not reach 2 kg and I can cover various genres of photography, with a lower expense than the body of a z5 mk2 alone.....
Pros:reasonable price in kit with the small 16-50; AUTOFOCUS with more effective subject recognition, not infallible of course, even in situations where the D500 went into crisis. Ergonomically I feel good but this is a personal aspect.
Cons:Battery charge indicator with no remaining capacity but with the 3 ... on the last, red induces "anxiety" because if you change it immediately the overall duration becomes ridiculous while if you don't change it you risk turning off at an inopportune time. The battery life is extremely shorter than the reflex; I took 3 (EN-EL25A) more than the one equipped. I recently purchased the original MH-32 charger and this seems to have improved the life a bit. No charger in the purchase box. VIEWFINDER DISPLAY DELAY It is not a camera devoted to dynamic scenes due to the delay with which the image appears in the viewfinder which increases framing and composition errors during bursts with "narrow" subject (open discussion here: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=5085804) ROLLING SHUTTER the reading time of the sensor is high and this implies the visibility of the consequent deformations; In silent mode (electronic viewfinder) this phenomenon is evident. BURST The fastest is H continuous extended but the photo taken is displayed in the viewfinder so following correctly (e.g.) a fast flight becomes almost impossible. In H mode, things improve but the delay on the viewfinder remains, which increases the inaccurate results. PLEASURE OF OBSERVATION Compared to the optical viewfinder, the naturalness of light and colors in the most beautiful moments is completely lost ... but since what matters is the result, it is an aspect that is all in all not critical.
Opinion:Taken in February 2025 and used quite thoroughly for birdlife in different situations, first with FTZII with 200 500 and then with 180 600. For non-nature photos (walks, tourism etc.) at the moment I continue to use the D7200 with the 16-80 which I find more pleasant than observing the scene thanks to the optical viewfinder. I was right to take it so that I get used to ML technology which has advantages but also, at least in the price/technology range of the Z50II, negative implications. The number of photos lost due to framing errors is compensated by the greater number of photos "hooked" by the AF in complicated background situations; I find this aspect the strong point of this little one. I await without haste the heir Z90 or Z500 which will be ... if it will be! .. I hope it has adequate technology that makes the limitations found negligible or absent. Overall, the effectiveness in use is also there thanks to the 180 600 more manageable as a zoom than the 200-500.
Pros:Fast AF, compact, ergonomics, lightweight, customisation, video options (10-bit, N-log).
Cons:Battery life and maybe the maximum shutter speed in mechanical shutter 1/4000. 1/8000 of seconds would have been ideal but that's okay.
Opinion:I bought this nice little camera in addition to my beloved Nikon Z6 iii and I have to say that I use this Z50 II more for personal and family outings. The camera turns out very light with my main lens the Nikkor 12-28mm VR PZ. The files are lightweight and easily workable on lightroom. What I appreciate most is that I can customize almost any key. I also bought the stabilized Nikkor 18-140mm zoom, IL 27mm f/1.2 and 75mm f/1.2 from viltrox in case of light discharge. For the moment I am very satisfied with the results I get from this machine.
Pros:Responsive autofocus, compactness, ISO tightness, image quality and 'lightness'
Cons:For now nothing
Opinion:Good evening everyone, I state that this is my first post ever on Juza, so I apologize if I skipped some steps. I wanted to write first here, after reading the reviews, and after using the Z50II at a 3-day metal festival. In the reviews, the thing I mainly noticed is that many have written that the cons are battery life. Having never used it before, except for a test photo outside the house, before leaving for the festival I ran for cover and bought a powerbank to take with me. Result? Never used. The first day I produced 650 shots - I only lost a notch of battery. On the second and third days I took more than a thousand photos per evening... Same result: only one notch down. I state that I use the screen only if I have to change the shooting plane, so for the most part I use the viewfinder (and I feel good about it I would say), and... nothing, battery for me excellent! I haven't used the Z50II for video, but I have a GoPro for that. On the autofocus, on the other hand, we all agree: almost excellent, and as you know, at concerts the light really sucks. The rather light and excellent files to work with are a plus, although I admit that a few more megapixels would not hurt but... I have a workstation that is a few years old now, and I'm fine with that. In combination with the Z50II I used the Viltrox 75 f1.2, really good, and I had the nikkor 24mm f1.7 for wider or closer shots. What can I say, I am really satisfied with this camera, an excellent mirrorless under 1000 euros. Little expense, excellent yield.
