Review Summary
2025-04-13T11:53:02
As a long-time owner of a Nikon Z50, I already have a number of DX and FX Z-mount lenses. I was interested in the new model's upgrades and improvements. The grip is slightly bigger-an improvement. One does feel a bit more weight in the body...something I'd have preferred not to have but perhaps that was needed to accomodate the new capabilities. I also really appreciate the new model's flip out LCD (which i value for vertical/portrait shots), and the replacement of those LCD fake buttons with actual buttons. I'm also hoping the improved auto focus will help this serve as my birding-able camera, though I haven't been able to test it for that yet. I also haven't noticed any real decline in battery life.

I have only taken a 100 or so pictures and it is all that I hoped it would be. A great little camera with many pro features. Especially great auto focus.
