    • Product Name: Z50 Mirrorless Camera Two Lens Kit with NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR and NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lenses
    • Color: Black
    • Camera Model Family: Nikon D7500
    • 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)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 5568 x 3712 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • 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, TIFF (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.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 to 30 sec. (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/3.5 (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.)
    • 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.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds, 2 seconds, 20 seconds, 5 seconds
    • Effective Pixels: 20.9 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Nikon DX, Nikon Z
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
    • Lens Series: Nikon Z (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
    • Lens Model Number: 20084
  • Lens 2

    • Lens 2 Model Number: 20085
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, Off, Rear curtain sync, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
    • External Flash Mount: Hot Shoe (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)

    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3.2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: approx. 1040k-dot (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)

A: Everyone—thanks for suggesting many alternative software choices. None of those solve the problem of letting me edit/view the Z50 Raw photos in the native iOS/macOS apps. If i wanted to convert to jpeg, i would just shoot in jpeg. Luckily, the most recent updates to iOS 13.3.1 and macOS 10.15.3 solve the problem by adding native support for Z50 NEF files.

    Great upgrade from D5300 for parents

    When my D5300 broke, I wasn't sure what to purchase as a replacement. I have been shooting Nikon APS-C cameras for about 8 years and have a 35mm f1.8 lens, a 10-24mm Nikon DX lens, a 55-200mm kit lens, plus an external flash. It would have been cheaper to just get a D5500, but the superior autofocus capabilities and smaller size had me considering the switch to mirrorless. I considered going full frame, but due to cost, how frequently I use my camera, and my skills as a photographer, I decided to stick with APS-C sensor options this time around. That left me to consider the options from Sony, Fujifilm, and Nikon. A local Best Buy has a great photography section that allowed me to play with all 3. Several reviews have mentioned how challenging the Sony menu system is to navigate, and my time in the store supported this. The prices of Sony lenses was a bit high and a consideration since I already had a nice selection of Nikon F mount lenses. The Fujifilm was great to use, and they have a great selection of high quality, well prices lenses. If you are starting from scratch, I'd recommend considering the Fujifilm, in addition to this Nikon. Ultimately, I went with the Nikon because (1) it was the easiest to use, (2) had the necessary features I wanted, (3) was well priced, (4) and allowed me to use my 35mm and 10-14mm lenses with the FTZ adapter plus my Nikon Flash. I have been really pleased with the purchase so far. PROS EASY TO USE: The camera and menu system are very intuitive and easy to use. One thought I had in the purchasing process was, what good is a great camera if you can't figure out how to tweak the settings effectively and take great pictures? KIT LENSES BETTER THAN EXPECTED: All of the pictures I uploaded were taken by the kit lenses. The compactness of the 16-50 lens makes this camera almost pocketable and easy to walk around with. We just spent a week at Disney and I never had the thought of "I'll just use my phone" because carrying this camera around and keeping it accessible was just so easy. The quality of the pictures (sharpness and color) with the kit lenses has exceeded my expectations. The Image Stabilization in the kit lenses has been the most impressive. I took this camera on a hike and the IS makes images usable to about 1/5 sec (or slower!), where my D5300 was prone to showing shake at anything less than 1/30 sec. GREAT AUTOFOCUS: As promised, the mirrorless system has great autofocus and is able to quickly lock in on my fast moving children and take great photos. This has been my favorite part of this camera: it is just so much easier to get photos of the kids. ISO PERFORMANCE: On the D5300, once you got above ISO3200 the pictures got pretty grainy. On the Z50, I'm pretty happy with how the photos look up to ISO10,000 which makes photographing kids on the move indoors or at night a much more relaxing process. FTZ ADAPTER: The adapter works great, but the kit lenses have been performing so well, I haven't used it as much as I would have thought (I used to shoot almost exclusively with my 35mm lens). CONS ISO JUMPS HIGH: One small complaint: I feel like the auto ISO jumps higher than it did on my D5300. Where the D5300 might have selected ISO3200, now I'm at ISO6400. Since the higher ISO shot actually looks better on the Z50, I can't really complain, but it is something I noticed. ANIMAL AUTOFOCUS: I tried to take pictures of apes swinging on ropes in Animal kingdom and none were great. The autofocus would focus on the rope etc. but had a hard time locking in on apes that were kind of far away. I'm guessing other cameras in this class would have struggled as well, but the much more expensive Z6 and Z7 do have animal eye detection now so it's possible they would perform better. Overall, this has been a great camera. I love how easy it is to carry around, and how effortlessly it makes taking picture when I'm out with the family. One tip: I did setup the User modes so that U1 is tweaked to be pictures of things (higher saturation, etc.) and U2 is setup for pictures of people (requires faster shutter speed, etc.) I found that when I'm walking around and want pictures that surpass my celllphone's capabilities, but I don't really want to think about taking a great picture, this makes the photography pretty effortless. I do still shoot on "A" and "M" most of the time, but for just a day with the family, I'm pretty happy with that setup.

    Gateway camera for beginners/enthusiasts

    I would give this camera kit 4.5 stars, but have to round up to 5 in this review. I am a super beginner at photography, and wanted a decent camera to take to Kenya for safari. I settled on this two-lens kit, and could not be more pleased - details below. Image quality/lenses/shooting: The image quality is superb with most of the lenses I've used. I should note that I basically never use the 16-50mm kit lens - I've found that I am not really interested in this focal length (24-75 full frame equivalent), and although people love it, I've not had great results with it. To be fair though, I hardly ever use it - if this focal length is for you, I'm sure you'll find it more than adequate. I've been duly impressed by the 50-250mm (in bright daylight), with which I've shot all the attached pictures in MANUAL (again, beginner here). The level of detail that this camera/lens combo resolves is amazing - great for zoos, but if you want to shoot wildlife, you will probably want a bit more reach (even though 250mm on the Z50 crop sensor is 375mm full frame equivalent). I purchased a 50mm f1.8 prime F mount lens along with the FTZ II adapter, which I've found works well, and the autofocus is pretty zippy for the most part. I also have a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, which is an excellent wide angle combo with the Z50, and far more forgiving than most lenses given the lack of in-body image stabilization. In general, I would recommend considering the FTZ adapter to have access to both native and third party F mount lenses, as the Z mount system still appears new and is rather more expensive. One thing I have struggled with is making sure to hold the camera very steady for the sharpest images - if you have a lens with vibration reduction/image stabilization, this isn't so bad, but it's very challenging with prime lenses. Of course at this price point and with a crop sensor, it's not surprising that the body is not stabilized. Just be aware that there is a learning curve to positioning/anchoring yourself, choosing the correct shutter speed, and programming a shutter delay if needed to get the sharpest images - probably a bit more work than a camera body with built-in stabilization. But, great practice for beginners. One thing I will note - the focus tracking for moving subjects, and the dynamic autofocus, could probably be improved - if you're truly looking to shoot wildlife in motion (especially small subjects), perhaps consider a camera with a more developed system in this realm (and maybe a full frame sensor). However, I did take the flamingo photo in burst mode with the 50-250mm - at a high shutter speed and in well-lit conditions, almost all the photos of one bird basically assaulting the other came out super sharp. Ergonomics: I didn't hold this camera before I bought it, but it is tiny and light. I am a very petite female and have small hands, but even with slightly heavier lenses I can hold the camera one-handed (wouldn't recommend shooting this way however - see above). The grip is deep and it is so comfortable to hold, the buttons and touchscreen are responsive, and with the pancake lens, this thing is almost pocketable. Even with somewhat larger lenses, this is very comfortable to wear on the same shoulder as another sling bag for several hours. One note is that the FTZ adapter (I or II) is somewhat thick, so will add a bit of length to adapted lenses. Even so, larger lenses do not feel awkward on this small body. I called this a gateway camera because about a month after I bought it, I had enjoyed shooting with it so much that I bought a second camera (micro four thirds sensor) with a ridiculous 100-400mm zoom lens (equivalent of 200-800mm full frame). Because the Nikon interface is so accessible, I didn't have any issues adjusting to the dials and settings on the new camera. Mostly I bought it because the MFT lens system is very compact, and I would have needed a second body for safari anyway. I know most beginners eventually upgrade to full frame, but I can't really see myself even doing that - this camera plus the MFT one meet my needs in small packages. The Z50 may have an APS-C sensor, but it is highly capable of producing fabulous images with great detail and warm, saturated colors. Could not recommend more.

    Awesome Little Camera!

    I am continually impressed by this camera. It's size is incredible, and it feels amazing in hand. It's low light capabilities are awesome, and it does awesome in bright light as well. The two lenses that come with it are actually pretty good lenses, and pair it with the FTZ adapter and you can use older F mount lenses as well, which is nice. Also, the battery continually destroys it's shot rating (rated for roughly 300 shots per charge, I continually get well over 1000 shots plus, if WiFi and Bluetooth are off I have gotten over 2k) Only one SD card slot, and USB mini rather than C, no 4k60 just 4k30 so yeah it's not perfect, but for it's price it's pretty hard to beat. Also, the one reviewer who said a wireless remote shutter won't work for him makes no sense. It's not connected to a network, it's connected to the remote through the in camera wifi. You can use a wireless remote literally anywhere... Plus you can use the Nikon Snapbridge app and your phone can become a Bluetooth remote (also useable anywhere...). Regarding the RAW files on Macs, I've never had any issues with the RAW files, however I use Adobe Lightroom to process my raw files, and use a PC. No raw files work with windows viewer anyway unless you use a buggy extension app. This camera is a blast to shoot with and it's size matched with capabilities made it the clear choice for me. I couldn't be happier with my decision.
