APS-C sensor, 20.9 MP, 11 frames per second with AF/AE, 4K video, tiltable touchscreen, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. The large diameter of the Nikon Z mount allows the DX-format sensor with 20.9 megapixels to capture more light at every angle of the image field. The hybrid autofocus is fast, precise, and operates extremely smoothly. Thanks to the ISO range of 100 to 51,200 and low-light autofocus, you can shoot handheld day and night. Eligible for a 3-year Swiss warranty.

As good as smartphone cameras have become in the meantime. At some point, creative photography still reaches its limits. For example, the focal length can only be adjusted to a very limited extent, if at all. In addition, the depth of field cannot be controlled. But this is precisely what is essential for consciously influencing the image effect...
After five years, Nikon presents the successor to its first mirrorless DX camera. A lot has changed, especially in terms of autofocus, which recognises numerous subjects via Kl. The flip-up monitor appeals to vloggers. Some people might miss an image stabiliser (IBIS), but even the competition in this price range does not usually offer this...
Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros. In the days of DSLRs, the choice in this price range was much greater...
The combination of first-class autofocus and crop factor makes the Z50ll interesting not least for animal photographers. Those who do not need more than 21 megapixels are still well advised to use the sensor, which has very good noise behaviour. Nevertheless, there are still wishes that a top-of-the-range DX model could fulfil: above all, a larger viewfinder, automatic sensor cleaning and image stabilisation...
The Z50 Il sits comfortably in the hand thanks to its pronounced grip. It delivers high quality photos and videos. The autofocus recognises the subject very accurately and at very high speed. The Z50 Il films in 4K with up to 60 frames per second and 10-bit colour depth. A real advantage of the Z50 lI, especially on sunny days: the viewfinder is twice as bright as that of the competition.
