I am always trying to balance Size and Weight to Quality, and I have my walkabout kit.
The Z50 is small, nice and small, with good physical controls and frankly fantastic kit lenses. I hope and pray they give us a few fast Dx primes one day, but the 16-250 mm range of the 2 lenses, with very light weight and outstanding optics make me happy. I do like the fact that one mount will service Dx and Fx sensors, as it is with other mounts out there. I am at home with Nikon ergonomics, they make sense to me. Images are more than brilliant. I haven't felt this much satisfaction in a long time. Whatever they have done with this 20 Mpx sensor, they've done it right. Incredibly low noise and the airplane photo shown is a 50% crop. I am so happy that this all fits in my fanny pack as I walk around no one knows what's in it. The autofocus video, which i don't use much, is still better than I was able to get out of an a6400 - in continuous. Bottom line, this works, is very affordable, gives great image quality and I want MORE Dx .... More, do you hear Nikon, MORE Dx on Z mount.

Amazing Camera
I got this camera to start getting into photography again. This is the first high-quality camera I've had, and I love it! The clarity and ease of use are amazing for someone who is just starting out and learning the ropes. The 2 lenses that come with it give you a good range of view, and attaching and switching out the lenses are easy as well. I highly recommend this!

PERFECT for Product Photography
The amount of detail this camera captures is amazing! I’m using it only for product photography for my online store. Colors are very accurate. I’m in love with this camera. Kit lens is great too. Well worth the money! Fantastic investment for my business. I’m glad I got it.

I own the Nikon z50 and the Canon EOS M6 V2.Many of you will want to know which is best..Let me talk about them briefly.The Canon M6V2 is a more evolved camera series as its now many incarnations into the series. The M6V2, is the Flagship now, as it is taking the place of the M5.Its a nice Camera. Its worth the money. Photos are excellent. The feel of the camera is excellent. The build quality, the AF, the EVF, are all excellent. The screen is very good. Its also a smaller and more compact camera then the Nikon Z50.I find the photos, as compared to the Nikon, are nearly identical, with the Canon's offering slightly more resolution if you pixel peep. This is the effect of a 30+ Resolution sensor, vs, a 20+.The only thing i dont like about the Canon M6V2, is that you can't manually adjust the sharpness of the images. You can't do this inside the camera. It will allow you to adjust the saturation, contrast, etc, but you can't adjust the sharpness.The Nikon Z50 is a fast fun experience. The Jpeg IQ is awesome. The same style of tilting screen is slightly larger then the Canon's. The EVF is excellent. The Kit lens is very sharp. The body of the Nikon Z50 is metal but does not feel expensive. The Nikon has a wonderful front grip. Auto focus is sure and fast. Low Light shooting is very good.The battery door is horrible. No Spring. The card slot is a bit frustrating to try to use when removing the card.You CAN adjust the Sharpness of the photos inside the camera.The photo i posted taken with the Nikon is "P" and pretty much Auto, with +1 Sharpness and +1 Contrast.The Nikon when set to "center point" focus, captures the entire frame as well as the focal point, better then the Canon.The Nikon does not allow you to change the focus point using the screen, while you look through the EVF.Both of these excellent cameras are fine shooters with world class IQ and color rendition, and do not disappoint.

Great for the amateur photographer
I am new to the world of mirrorless cameras so I don't have anything to compare it to. I purchased it because I wanted a camera with a better optical sensor than my point-and shoot and with some different lens options. It needed to be small and lighter weight with a simple interface so I can hike with it and take pictures on the go. The Z50 fit my criteria and my budget. I am happy with the quality of photos I get with it. The 2 lenses that come with the package retract to a shorter length which makes them nice for fitting in my backpack. This camera is probably not sophisticated enough for a professional photographer but would be good for the amateur.

This is a great little camera
The results are fantastic and the controls are very similar to my old Nikon (that's a good thing).
