Nikon Z 50 is a New DX-format Mirrorless Camera

October 14, 2019 By Eric Reagan

After giving the new Z series time to simmer with the Z 6 and Z 7 full-frame cameras, the Nikon Z 50 launches at the lower end of the product line as the first DX-format camera in Nikon’s mirrorless space.

Packing a 20.9MP CMOS sensor with 4K video capture ability, the Nikon Z 50 offers a compelling spec sheet in the sub-$1000 price range when kitted with the compact Z DX 16-50mm lens.

Nikon Z 50 Key Features

  • 20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor
  • EXPEED 6 Image Processor
  • UHD 4K and Full HD Video Recording
  • 2.36m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder
  • 3.2″ 1.04m-Dot 180° Tilting Touchscreen
  • ISO 100-51200
  • Up to 11 fps Shooting
  • 209-Point Hybrid AF
  • Eye Detection AF
  • Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Unlike the Z 6 and Z 7, the Z 50 does not feature built-in image stabilization, requiring users to instead rely on VR lens, like the 16-50mm VR kit lens and the Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens that is launched alongside it.

The Nikon Z 50 retails for $859 for the body only. It is also available in kit form with the 16-50mm VR lens for $999 and a dual-lens kit option with both the 16-50mm and 50-250mm lenses for $1349. The Nikon Z 50 will ship in November 2019. Check it out here at B&H Photo and here at Amazon.com.
