- General
- Brand: Nikon
- Model Number: 1786
- Product Name: Z50II Mirrorless Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Nikon Z 50
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
- Total Pixels: 21.51 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW, HEIF (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 231
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 to 30 s (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/16 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/4 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 51200 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 204800 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Auto, Programmed auto with flexible program (P), Shutter-priority auto (S), Aperture-priority auto (A), Manual (M) (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Scene Modes: portrait; landscape; child; sports; close up; night portrait; night landscape; party/indoor; beach/snow; sunset; dusk/dawn; pet portrait; candlelight; blossom; autumn colors; food (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)

GREAT NIKON - Z50II
Feature Why It’s Beneficial Expeed 7 processor This is a big upgrade over the original Z50. It improves autofocus, burst performance, and video processing. Z System User +3 DPReview +3 TechRadar +3 Strong autofocus / subject detection The camera supports detection modes for people, animals, birds, vehicles, etc. DPReview +3 TechRadar +3 Nikon +3 Improved burst & buffer You get up to 11 fps with the mechanical shutter. The buffer is reported to handle up to ~200 RAW frames in favorable conditions. Photography Life +2 DPReview +2 Modern video capabilities You gain 10-bit N-Log recording, better video feature set (waveform, hi-res zoom, etc.), and 4K/60p (with 1.5× crop) in addition to 4K/30p uncropped. UW Photography Guide +3 Nikon +3 TechRadar +3 Articulating (fully vari-angle) touchscreen Helpful for video, vlogging, low-angle shots, or selfies. DPReview +2 Photography Life +2 Ergonomics & control layout improvements Reviewers note that the grip is more comfortable, button layout more refined, plus added “real” buttons versus virtual ones. Z System User +2 PetaPixel +2 UHS-II card slot and USB-C improvements Faster data handling and direct charging/USB connectivity. TechRadar +2 Nikon +2 Good image quality & noise performance In everyday use, the sensor (20.9 MP APS-C) produces clean, pleasing images, and noise control is solid for this class. UW Photography Guide +3 TechRadar +3 DPReview +3 So overall, it’s a very capable “hybrid” camera for both stills and video, with features that stretch beyond just entry-level. Limitations & Things to Be Aware Of No camera is perfect. Here are some of the caveats and potential drawbacks you might encounter: Limitation Impact / What to Watch For No in-body image stabilization (IBIS) You’ll rely on lens stabilization (VR on kit lens or VR in future lenses) or faster shutter speeds to avoid camera shake. TechRadar +3 Photography Life +3 DPReview +3 Battery life is modest The EN-EL25a battery is small. CIPA ratings are around 230 (EVF) / 250 (LCD) shots; in real-world use, you’ll want backups. Z System User +3 Amateur Photographer +3 Photography Life +3 Crop on 4K/60p mode To get 60 fps in 4K, the sensor is cropped (1.5×), which limits your field of view. TechRadar +2 UW Photography Guide +2 Viewfinder blackout in continuous shooting During fast bursts, the EVF can blackout, which makes following action a bit tricky. Photography Life +2 Z System User +2 Resolution is modest by modern standards 20.9 MP is plenty for many uses, but if you’re after extremely high resolution (for large prints or heavy cropping), higher-MP models may outperform it. TechRadar +2 Amateur Photographer +2 Some ergonomic trade-offs While improved, the body is somewhat heavier than ultra-compact mirrorless cameras. PetaPixel Single card slot There’s only one SD slot (UHS-II). For professional work with redundancy, that’s a limitation. DPReview +1 How Well It Serves in Practice (Your Use Case) To tailor the review a bit more: depending on how you use it (portraits, landscapes, sports, video, etc.), here’s where it shines or where you’ll want to adapt: Portraits, travel, general photography — Excellent choice. The autofocus, image quality, and flexible controls are very solid. Video / vlogging — Strong option. The vari-angle screen, 10-bit N-Log, and video-friendly features make it a competitive pick. Just watch for the crop in 4K60 and lack of stabilization. Action / sports / wildlife — It can perform respectably, but the viewfinder blackout and limited buffering might become constraints in very fast sequences. Low-light / hand-held shooting — Without IBIS, you’ll want to use lenses with VR or maintain good technique (steady hands, faster shutter speeds). Professional / mission-critical work — The single card slot and battery constraints mean you’ll want redundancy and backup gear. Tips & Recommendations for Getting the Most Out of It Have extra batteries and/or a power bank if you're doing extended shooting sessions. Use good quality UHS-II SD cards to maximize write speeds and buffer clearing. Pair it with VR (Vibration Reduction) lenses to compensate for no IBIS. When shooting video, test how much crop you’re comfortable with (especially in 4K/60 mode). Explore the subject-detection AF modes for people, animals, etc., to take advantage of the newer autofocus features. Keep firmware updated—Nikon may roll out fixes and improvements over time.

A rookie pro photographer
It’s the first I had this compact mirror less camera. I find it easy to learn how to use it with simple instructions/suggestions to follow. Before I have point and shoot camera, at my age of 76 years old I thought I will have problem using it. I just came back on tour in Europe and to my surprise, all my pictures are sooo beautiful. I felt like a real pro photographer.
