    This is an amazing Content Creator. There is no electronic view finder. But not really necessary for vloggers and content creators. Takes great pics and is mirrorless technology.

    I purchased this camera specifically to make YouTube talking head videos and I think it’s perfect for that as well as vlogging. I really like Nikons menu system it’s very simple and easy to find everything.

    So we all have our phones now a days, and we are getting pretty good at taking pictures with them. BUT, there are times, when you really want to have the best of the best, and that can't always come from a mobile phone. Only so much can be done there, with the lack of changeable lenses, and all the features that a digital camera like this brings to the table First setup is very straight forward, battery, memory card, lens and you are ready to go. Taking your first pictures is as simple as turning it on, and clicking the button (yes you actually click a button). You have all the options on this camera to change your focal length, the way you want to.. not the way some AI picks for you. (or you can leave it in one of the many full and partially automatic modes). The camera is small, and relatively light weight. not overly bulky out of the box. You can add different Nikon lenses to this, for even more versatility (need a long zoom lens for that bird watching, or one for action photos from the stands? you have those add on options). With the ability to add third party accessories as well, like a microphone... this camera can also be used to create your next stunning video. I have been a canon person for a long time... but with some of their recent changes, decided to try this out. And one of my children wants to get into real photography, so this was a good time to make the switch and trial. If you are looking for that next step beyond the smart phone pictures, and want a TON of flexibility and options, look no further.

    Amazing camera at this price point! 4K 30fps, single-clip, long-form recording when you're filming events (not multiple 5-minute clips like my old Nikon D7500). Crystal clear, and the internal microphone is actually pretty darn good (although I typically connect an external mic). This camera is truly intended for vloggers and self-shooting, but it serves me well as a B-camera for videos and even photos. Z-mount kit lenses are pretty good, too. Although, I typically connect my F-mount Sigma lenses to this bad boy with my Nikon FTZ Adapter. Sigma will be releasing Z-mount lenses in 2023, so I'm excited about that. Another great callout, you can film in slow motion and time lapse with this camera, too. I recently filmed and snapped photos at a conference in Philly, and my Z-30 outperformed my old D7500. It's not a Sony Alpha for sure, but to be intended for vloggers, this little mirrorless companion can do more than advertised. If you're looking for a better-than-average camera to record yourself for YouTube/social media/your website or use at family gatherings, this is a great purchase for sure.

    Originally I was going to get the Sony ZV-1 because everyone was buying one and I thought that was going to be my vlog camera. But after watching several YouTube videos on the Nikon Z 30 I was hooked by all the features and specs that will be so beneficial for me as a content creator. This camera is easy to use especially if this is your first "real" camera. There are plenty of tutorials on Nikon USA's website. I can't wait to do an in-dpeth tutorial on my YouTube channel and how I use it. Great job NIkon!

    Great picture taking ability and ergonomics BUT no view finder do completely useless outside. Granted it’s a dusk purpose blogger camera but no view finder and angle of screen even makes selfies awkward

    I bought this so I could use it that day. It came with a charging cable that needed to be plugged into a computer. I was out of town and did not have access to a computer and it would not charge with USB. Best buy did not sell a separate charger. When I got home I plugged into two different computers and still would not charge. I later bought a separate charger and finally go it to charge. Very disappointed.

    Compact in size, not features

    This review is for the Nikon Z 30 4k mirrorless camera with nikkor z dx 16-50mm f3.5 - 6.5 VR lens. First impression of the camera was of it’s compact size and that it would be great for traveling, being light weight and compact. But don’t let the size fool you. This little guy has some powerful features. Like being able to shoot 11 frames per second with great clarity and record video in 4k @ frame rates of 30p,25p or 24p. The 3” tilting lcd monitor is easy to see and use. Great for shooting selfie videos/podcasts. It can swing out and face the front of the camera so you can make sure you are were you wish to be in the shot/video. It also has autofocus to help keep everything as clear as can be. It uses eye detection and will autofocus on you as you move around in the frame. I found this feature to work quite well. In a nut shell I found this camera to take great photos with outstanding clarity and details. And even better videos. I feel this camera was made with creators in mind and features and quality show that. I do recommend picking up an extra battery. But other than that I am very please with this unit so far.
