NIKON Z50 OVERVIEW
Sporting
an especially sleek design, the Nikon Z50 is a DX-format mirrorless digital
camera revolving around the versatile Z Mount. Capable in both stills and video
realms, the Z50 features a 20.9MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 image processor,
which enables fast performance up to 11 fps, a reliable 209-point hybrid AF
system with eye detection, and notable low-light performance to ISO 51200. For
video shooters, UHD 4K is supported up to 30 fps along with Full HD recording
at up to 120 fps for slow-motion playback. For fine-tuning your photos and
videos, in-camera clip trimming can be used, and 20 Creative Picture Controls
and 10 Special Effects settings help to infuse your imagery with a unique look.
The
body design is impressively sleek yet still ergonomic to benefit all-day-long
shooting. A high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED EVF benefits working in bright
conditions with clear eye-level viewing and the 3.2" rear touchscreen LCD
has a 180° flip-down design that is perfect for selfies. The magnesium alloy
body is weather-sealed, too, to suit working in inclement conditions.
Additionally, for easy sharing, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work in
conjunction with the Nikon SnapBridge app for wirelessly transferring photos
and videos and remotely controlling the camera from your mobile device.
20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor and
EXPEED 6 Image Processor
The
DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is paired with the EXPEED 6 image processor to
provide a versatile mixture of high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and
fast overall performance. At native values, a sensitivity range from ISO
100-51200 permits working in a broad array of lighting conditions, and can be
further expanded up to ISO 204800 for extreme low-light conditions. The mixture
of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and
smooth color transitions with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range.
In addition to benefitting image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also affords a
wealth of speed throughout the camera system, including a top full-resolution
continuous shooting rate of 11 fps as well as 30 fps shooting at 8MP.
Besides
imaging, the sensor's design also incorporates a 209-point hybrid autofocus
system, which uses both phase-detection and contrast-detection methods to
quickly and accurately acquire focus for both stills and video applications.
This focusing system also supports Eye Detection AF, which uses facial
recognition to help lock focus onto subjects' eyes.
UHD 4K Video Recording
Capable
of recording more than just stills, the Z50 supports UHD 4K video recording at
up to 30 fps and Full HD recording at up to 120 fps, for slow-motion effects,
along with the ability to save movie files to the in-camera memory cards or to
an optional external recorder via HDMI out. In-camera time-lapse shooting is
also possible with the ability to produce a finished UHD 4K video file directly
from the camera.
Body Design and Connectivity
- A
large 3.2" 1.04m-dot LCD screen is available for bright, clear, and vivid
image playback and live view shooting. The screen has a 180° flip-under tilting
design, which benefits front-facing selfie captures, and it is also a
touchscreen for more intuitive operation, navigation, and settings control.
- A
3.6m-dot electronic finder is present for comfortable eye-level viewing. It has
a 1.02x magnification and uses NIKKOR optics to guarantee a sharp, clear image.
- Single
SD memory card slots supports up to the UHS-I protocol for quickly storing
photo and video files.
- A
robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust- and weather-resistant to benefit
working in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
- Built-in
SnapBridge connectivity to enable seamless transfer of low-resolution imagery
as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi
enables communication between the camera and a smart device and, additionally,
the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a live view
image from the camera to enable working from a distance.
- Included
EN-EL25 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 300 shots per
charge, and in-camera charging is supported when using the optional EH-73P
charging AC adapter.
Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3
VR Overview
Compact,
lightweight, and versatile, the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR, from Nikon,
is an all-in-one zoom spanning a wide-angle to telephoto range. Poised to be a
single lens solution for travel, walkaround, and everyday shooting, this
27-210mm-equivalent lens is ideal for applications ranging from landscapes to
portraiture to distant, fast-moving subjects. Helping achieve sharp results and
steady handling, Vibration Reduction image stabilization compensates for up to
5 stops of camera shake for improved results when working in low-light
conditions. A stepping motor provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus
performance, along with full-time manual focus override, and there is a
7.9" minimum focusing distance for working with close-up subjects. Also, a
programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of
camera and exposure settings.
