A lot of camera and subtle aesthetic change makes it look so much better than the original Z50. If I didn't have a Z5 I would definitely buy one of these. In fact, I would buy it instead of the Z5 for the pop up flash alone, which I found very useful for travel. I'd still consider the new Z50 and pair it with my f mount lenses but the cost of the mount adaptor is ridiculous.

I have a question for the person reviewing the Nikon Z50 mark 2 camera. I am trying to find out whether this camera works well on F to Z adapted lenses, particularly, Sigma 150 to 600mm F mount, Sigma 100 to 400mm F mount, Sigma 18 to 35 mm F mount apsc. Also EF to Z adaptor with autofocus, so I can add my canon EF glass to my Nikon set up?

Ibis?
Weatherproofing?
Would consider it ahead of Fujifilm and OM system, but not without these features.

Hi, can you please suggest me if i have should wait for a better Z aps c camera or go with z50ii. I'm also fasinated with the nikon ZF for its looks, image quality, ibis etc. Yesterday i sold my D3400 and D7500 and i primarily do birding, safaris, landscape, cityscape/street in that priority order.

My wishlist for a pro Z aps body would be a z50ii plus:
1. stacked sensor if not the atleast a 33mp sensor
2. ibis
3. additional card slot atleast a micro sd like the ZF
4. enel 15c battery.
5. Price $1500

Does Nikon have any pro zoom lenses for DX?😅

[divineroots]

Nice review...!!
My first camera... Which one should I choose... Nikon z50ii or spend some more bucks to get Canon R8...?

[marklarson]

What's is quality of the sensor at high ISO levels?

[cynthiamomokoharper]

Soon to be updated to the Z 50 III? 🤔

[shueibdahir]

1.5x crop on an APS-C body and no ibis is CRAZY

[thomaschamberlin]

This camera has bird detection autofocus, but the Z6iii does not?

[pjimmbojimmbo]

Z9 features, perhaps, but not Z9 performance. Z9 does cost 5X more. I remember people trying to claim that the Z8 was a Z9.... It isn't, it is close in some areas, but Close, only counts in Horseshoes, Grenades, and Nuclear Weapons

No IBIS, yeah whats the point even upgrading? Sony and Fuji aspc are way ahead with older models.

[d.bradfields]

Definitely not a D500 replacement, only 1 memory card and if they do come out with a grip you'll have to remove the grip to swap out the card. No Ibis, it's an entry level.

The specs make glad I bought the ZF.

[marianazgiri]

~$900 for an APS-C body is mad. It's better to buy Z5 or Canon R8

[californiafarmin]

These camera companies are headed to bankruptcy in no time with these lousy specs!
