Nikon Z50 + 16-50mm f3.5-6.3 VR

Nikon Z50 + 16-50mm

With an especially sleek design, the NIKON Z 50 is a DX-format mirrorless digital camera that revolves around the versatile Z Mount. Capable of both still images and video, the Z 50 features a 20.9MP CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 6 image processor, enabling fast performance of up to 11fps, a reliable 209-point hybrid AF system with eye detection, and remarkable low-light performance at ISO 51200. For video recorders, UHD 4K supports up to 30fps along with Full HD recording at up to 120fps for slow-motion playback. To adjust your photos and videos, clip cropping can be used on the camera, and 20 creative image controls and 10 special effect settings help infuse your images with a unique look.

The body design is impressively elegant yet still ergonomic to benefit shooting throughout the day. A high-resolution 2.36m dot OLED EVF benefits from working in bright conditions with clear eye level vision and the 3.2" rear touchscreen LCD has a 180° flip-up design that's perfect for selfies. The magnesium alloy body is weatherproof, too, to fit the job in inclement conditions. Plus, for easy sharing, the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work in conjunction with the NIKON SnapBridge app to transfer photos and videos wirelessly and control the camera remotely from your mobile device.

20.9MP DX package CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 image processor
The 20.9MP CMOS sensor in DX package is combined with the EXPEED 6 image processor to provide a versatile blend of high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and fast overall performance. In native values, a sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200 allows working in a wide range of lighting conditions, and can be further extended up to ISO 204800 for extreme low light conditions. The combination of sensor resolution and size also contributes to clean image quality and smooth color transitions with reduced noise across the sensitivity range. In addition to benefiting image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also offers great speed throughout the camera system, including a maximum full-resolution continuous shooting speed of 11fps and 30fps at 8MP.

In addition to images, the sensor design also incorporates a 209-point hybrid autofocus system, which uses phase detection and contrast detection methods to quickly and accurately acquire focus for both still image and video applications. This focusing system also supports Eye Detection AF, which uses facial recognition to help focus subjects' eyes.

• 4K UHD video recording

Capable of recording more than still images, the Z 50 supports 4K UHD video recording at up to 30fps and Full HD recording at up to 120fps, for slow-motion effects, along with the ability to save movie files to camera memory cards or an optional external recorder via HDMI output. It is also possible to shoot at intervals in the camera with the ability to produce a finished 4K UHD video file directly from the camera.

• Body design and connectivity

A large 3.2" LCD screen and 1.04m dots is available for reproduction of bright, clear and vivid images and capture of live images. The display has a 180° tilt design, which benefits front selfie captures, and is also a touchscreen for more intuitive handling, navigation and settings control.
A 3.6m point electronic search engine is present for comfortable viewing at eye level. It has a magnification of 1.02x and uses NIKKOR optics to ensure a sharp and clear image.
Individual SD memory card slots support up to the UHS-I protocol to quickly store photo and video files.
A robust magnesium alloy chassis is dust and weather resistant to benefit work in harsh climates and inclement conditions.

Built-in SnapBridge connectivity to enable smooth transfer of low-resolution images as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi allow communication between the camera and a smart device and, additionally, the mobile device can remotely activate the shutter and display a live view image from the camera to allow working from a distance.
The 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 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR

Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is a 24-75mm equivalent zoom designed for DX format Z-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering a zoom range from wide angle to portrait length, this lens is well suited for everyday shooting situations. Its optical design incorporates aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, which help reduce a variety of aberrations for sharper and clearer image quality throughout the zoom range. A super-integrated coating has also been applied to minimize ghosting and flare to increase contrast and color accuracy in bright, backlit conditions.

The lens's flexible focal length range is complemented by vibration reduction image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shakes by up to 4.5 stops for sharper shooting. A stepper motor provides fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override to suit both still and video images. In addition, a programmable control ring can be configured for intuitive adjustment in a variety of camera and exposure settings.

The standard zoom is designed for DX-format Z-mount mirrorless NIKON cameras and provides an equivalent focal length range of 24-75mm.
Extra low dispersion elements decrease color stripes and chromatic aberrations to improve color clarity and accuracy.
Four aspherical elements minimize spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for greater sharpness and accurate rendering.
The super-integrated coating suppresses glare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
The stepper motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet and fast autofocus performance that adapts well to both still images and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focus design is used, where only internal lens clusters are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and promote faster focusing speeds.
Vibration reduction image stabilization minimizes camera movement by up to 4.5 stops to shoot with your hand sharper.
The programmable control ring is set by default to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability, which is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous firing speeds.
The rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasant unfocused quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.
