yes, but apparently the wider mount and closer flange distance makes it look more like an ‘f5.6’. 🤫

IMHO, the V1 and V3 were nicer looking, and more compact. i’m glad Nikon reduced this Z size from FF, but really wish they kept the EN-EL15, than invent a new $70 battery model to fit inside.

to date, none of Nikon’s native FF Z glass has VR, so it’s a harder sell to argue it can benefit from other lenses in the line.

the ‘proposed’ 28/40mm compacts aren’t very wide on APS-C.

you might call it a 'review' but for the most part,  I call it a regurgitation of the spec sheet, and the label 'verdict' hollow. JMO.

when reviewing cameras, it's also often easy to gloss over what passes for a legitimate review. verdict: i'll pass on this 'ePhotozine' product description and await more solid data.

... the Z mount is being promoted as a premium mount which can offer users 'potentially better' IQ. if Nikon isn't going to deliver for Dx Z users, what's the point of encouraging a migration from ...

there was a case to be made that it could have served Nikon better to build their budget APS-C mirrorless using the DSLR F mount rather than the larger, more expensive, more supposedly premium Z ...

it was available at Adorama and Amazon. to be honest — i thought B&H — but i didn't place it in my cart to check if a 'back-order' message popped up. thanks for sharing your experience.

there are other possibilities, but it's unusual. amongst some of the other forums i've frequented the most enthusiastic customers seem to be the people whom already own a Z6/Z7 and looking for a ...

given how heavily the Z50 is being promoted, it was bound to catch attention. what's interesting to me is that B&H and Adorama both appear to be sold out of the 'body only', and Amazon has just a ...

It's a debatable decision, i'll grant you that. however i too believe Nikon missed their mark. i believe the camera will sell some, like it's older siblings — just not nearly as well as Nikon hoped. ...

it didn't look like the box had a very legible 'fragile: handle with care" sticker.
not that any of the shippers (B&H, Amazon, Ebay) do that anymore.

by law, shippers do have to put 'lithium...

do you solely shoot the 'visible spectrum' or also 'full spectrum'? even on my converted Nikon J5 i found lines when shooting IR and UV.

cuz unlike other sites, including this one, IR was run as a labor of love. they had a penchant for truth, honesty, and 'transparency' which the typical 'for profit' sites only pay lip service to.

or, perhaps more accurately ... now $1,000 smartphones capture, process, organize and transmit relatively high IQ images better than your typical $1000 stand alone camera.
