Review on Nikon Z50 + Z DX 16-50mm Mirrorless Camera Kit: Advanced AF, 4K UHD Movies, High Res LCD - VOA050K001 by Agung Budiyanto ᠌

When I took the Z50 in the store for a test, I had the impression that I was catching up with the future. After 9 years of owning (sitting on) Nikon D800 (and before that 2022-2022 Nikon D100; 2022-2022 Nikon D2x) suddenly felt like a prehistoric pangolin. Although the Nikon D800 almost completely suits me in terms of advertising and commercial shooting. What I miss in it: there is no small RAV - it's terribly annoying when shooting reports. More and more often, customers began to ask for videos, and I myself was drawn to 4K after buying an iMAC 27' 5K, there is something to watch and mount. I shot a video from an old Phantom 4 fields, meadows, looked beautiful in the summer! And the D800 can only Full HD, and even with non-tracking autofocus (((. The purchased Samsung S10 + smartphone does not give the video and photo quality that I'm used to. I bought a Sony action camera, too, the quality did not suit, I sold it. Photos taken on Nikon Z50 inside the store and on the street pleased with sharpness, lack of noise even at ISO 10000 ! RAVs stretch perfectly, like plasticine. I tried both AF and non-AF lenses: they work great. Photos from an old film Nikkor 50 / 1.4 were not even Ais, the chromaticity of which was terribly straining, when converted from RAV, they suddenly pleased with its complete absence! Hooray! All my attempts to shoot with Zenith lenses can be repeated. I am sure that all glasses will work! Yes, and my favorite "golden" set 24-70 / 2.8; 14-24/2.8; 70-200 / 2.8 that I have, do not sell. I brought 24-70 / 2,8 for testing, it works like on the D800: without any brakes. Complain that the 50 is slow to turn on . My answer from a professional since 1994: A good photographer prepares for shooting in advance and does not miss an important moment, I do not think that saving an inexpensive battery in the whole system can justify the desire to turn off the camera as soon as possible! You just need to buy a couple more batteries and stop saving! And I thought, why pay another 40 thousand for a full frame in Nikon Z5? Arguments? They do not exist or are insufficient.
