  1. takes a lot to learn this camera
    Quality

    I bought this camera in the store with one lens and then came home to look for instructions and found it at bestbuy online with 2 lens for about $300 cheaper. So I took the first one back and bought this 2 lens kit/camera on line. I'm glad I did as I ended up spending that amount plus for a Z mount adapter and a better lens. (I bought a macro lens f2.8) The Z mount adapter allows you to use old Nikon lens you may have or newer better lens per the salesman. These are entry level lens again per the salesman. The 16-50mm I can't seem to get good photos with. (the reason I bought the f.28 lens) The 50-250 does ok especially in bright sun but I would like more zoom. I came from using a 100x zoom point and shoot and would like that sort of zoom on this Z50 bundle. It's no where close. The salesman said I would have to spend over a $1000 on a lens for that sort of zoom. My point and shoot was $400 from best buy but it's old and so are my eyes, I needed a better brighter viewfinder. This has it. I don't edit my photos so wanted something with great clarity. These lens I don't think are it but if you look at my photos and think so then this camera lens kit is for you. Maybe I just haven't learned the camera yet as there are a ton of menu options. I would suggest watching a lot of youtube tutorials to learn all the functions. Here's some of my photos with the dx 50-250 lens. It's a lot to learn so if you take the time you probably will get better photos than what I have. The flag is zoomed all the way, taken from a parking lot across the river and a road from the stadium. The bird in tree is taken about 10 ft over and then up 15 or 20 ft zoomed all the way out. (which how could I get a flag further away, these are things I don't know) . The squirrel about 2 feet from my feet, the bunny about 12 to 15 ft away but not zoomed all the way out. and the yellow goldfinch 20 to 30 ft away. And the sunflower straight up above my head not zoomed all the way. If I use a tripod the shots are better but I don't have those handy to show. Not sure I would recommend to a friend or not so I clicked no. It's just a lot to learn with this camera unless you use auto all the time.
  2. A welcome update to my old D90
    Quality

    When a fatal mirror failure downed my 13 year old DSLR, the new mirrorless offerings held great appeal. I chose the Z50 with the 16-50 and 50-250 kit lenses, along with the new FTZ-II adapter for my older lenses. Everything works flawlessly, and I especially appreciate the lighter weight of my new gear. The quality is excellent, too. Though the kit was decent value, the adapter seemed overpriced.
  3. Gateway camera for beginners/enthusiasts
    Quality

    I would give this camera kit 4.5 stars, but have to round up to 5 in this review. I am a super beginner at photography, and wanted a decent camera to take to Kenya for safari. I settled on this two-lens kit, and could not be more pleased - details below. Image quality/lenses/shooting: The image quality is superb with most of the lenses I've used. I should note that I basically never use the 16-50mm kit lens - I've found that I am not really interested in this focal length (24-75 full frame equivalent), and although people love it, I've not had great results with it. To be fair though, I hardly ever use it - if this focal length is for you, I'm sure you'll find it more than adequate. I've been duly impressed by the 50-250mm (in bright daylight), with which I've shot all the attached pictures in MANUAL (again, beginner here). The level of detail that this camera/lens combo resolves is amazing - great for zoos, but if you want to shoot wildlife, you will probably want a bit more reach (even though 250mm on the Z50 crop sensor is 375mm full frame equivalent). I purchased a 50mm f1.8 prime F mount lens along with the FTZ II adapter, which I've found works well, and the autofocus is pretty zippy for the most part. I also have a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, which is an excellent wide angle combo with the Z50, and far more forgiving than most lenses given the lack of in-body image stabilization. In general, I would recommend considering the FTZ adapter to have access to both native and third party F mount lenses, as the Z mount system still appears new and is rather more expensive. One thing I have struggled with is making sure to hold the camera very steady for the sharpest images - if you have a lens with vibration reduction/image stabilization, this isn't so bad, but it's very challenging with prime lenses. Of course at this price point and with a crop sensor, it's not surprising that the body is not stabilized. Just be aware that there is a learning curve to positioning/anchoring yourself, choosing the correct shutter speed, and programming a shutter delay if needed to get the sharpest images - probably a bit more work than a camera body with built-in stabilization. But, great practice for beginners. One thing I will note - the focus tracking for moving subjects, and the dynamic autofocus, could probably be improved - if you're truly looking to shoot wildlife in motion (especially small subjects), perhaps consider a camera with a more developed system in this realm (and maybe a full frame sensor). However, I did take the flamingo photo in burst mode with the 50-250mm - at a high shutter speed and in well-lit conditions, almost all the photos of one bird basically assaulting the other came out super sharp. Ergonomics: I didn't hold this camera before I bought it, but it is tiny and light. I am a very petite female and have small hands, but even with slightly heavier lenses I can hold the camera one-handed (wouldn't recommend shooting this way however - see above). The grip is deep and it is so comfortable to hold, the buttons and touchscreen are responsive, and with the pancake lens, this thing is almost pocketable. Even with somewhat larger lenses, this is very comfortable to wear on the same shoulder as another sling bag for several hours. One note is that the FTZ adapter (I or II) is somewhat thick, so will add a bit of length to adapted lenses. Even so, larger lenses do not feel awkward on this small body. I called this a gateway camera because about a month after I bought it, I had enjoyed shooting with it so much that I bought a second camera (micro four thirds sensor) with a ridiculous 100-400mm zoom lens (equivalent of 200-800mm full frame). Because the Nikon interface is so accessible, I didn't have any issues adjusting to the dials and settings on the new camera. Mostly I bought it because the MFT lens system is very compact, and I would have needed a second body for safari anyway. I know most beginners eventually upgrade to full frame, but I can't really see myself even doing that - this camera plus the MFT one meet my needs in small packages. The Z50 may have an APS-C sensor, but it is highly capable of producing fabulous images with great detail and warm, saturated colors. Could not recommend more.
