Nikon Z50
Ready to jump back into a new ‘big’ camera. Having had a D70, D3000, D7000 and then a D300s – I found all of those to be big and impractical to lug around and use; I was still taking 95% of my pictures on my iPhone, so when the iPhone 12 Pro came out, I figured I could do without the big camera.
Now that I’ve got better video editing and capture equipment and am trying to do all video in 4k, I wanted something that would give me a little better control and quality. And now that the mirrorless cameras have matured – I think the Z50 is small enough to not feel like I am lugging something huge around – will take good enough pictures to match or beat the iPhone in quality in many situations, and can make use of bigger zoom lenses when I am photographing sailing and want to use the heavy stuff.
Current Camera Equipment:
- Nikon Z50
- Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
- Nikon Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR
- Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ
- iPhone 12 Pro
- Drift XL Pro
- GoPro Hero 3
- Olympus Tough TG-6
I just got the z-50 for my girlfriend for Christmas. Neither of us know anything about digital photography but she wanted a digital camera so I got her one. Do you have any tips or tricks for us very novice individuals? We literally can barely turn it on. Lol
You can first use auto, read the manual in the box and enjoy the use of the lenses. When you enjoy this, you can read larger manual you can find on the Nikon website. It explains more about focus and A,S,P and M, and much more you may use when you understand the basis. Enjoy.
