Source: Digitec GalaxusThe Z30 is quite small and light, but feels good in the hand. The Nikon is a good choice for videographers in particular, as it offers a long recording time, good sound with the built-in microphone and (in the vlogger kit) a practical mini tripod with remote control and a windscreen for the microphone. Typical vlogging model: the Z30 lacks a viewfinder and flash.
