Any Nikon Z50 owners here?

3 years 9 months ago #689097 by Ben Vanderbilt
I have the Z7 right now.  My wife wants a camera, but for nothing serious.  I'm thinking about picking her up a Nikon Z50, that way she can use my lenses.  And when she isn't using the camera, I can use it for a second body.   I think the Z7 is the most amazing camera, but honestly don't know much about the Z50.  

Let me know your opinion on it please.  Thanks. 

Ben

P.S.  OR would you go with a used Z6 body instead?

It is pretty much like owning a D850 and considering the D500.

Why not opting for the D750 and its ff sensor?

Light is free… capturing it is not!

The Z50 is a crop sensor. There will be other shortcomings compared to the Z7.

You do know you can go onto the Nikon site and compare them?

I would not now get a crop frame sensor body to act as a backup to a full frame sensor body. I would want them to be reasonably similar with respect to lens and view angle behavior.

You need to make sure your wife makes the decision on a device. If it's for her, she should have primary input.

My daughter has one and is really enjoying the camera.  I do know that she was after the Z6, but this was out of budget so she picked up this camera and has loved the camera since.  This is her first camera.
