Great video man. I'm new to the photography space and was considering whether to get a z50. After watching many reviews and not being sure if I really want to purchase one. I am now certain I NEED one after the beautiful photography in which you displayed throughout the video. Keep up the great work!!
This is the second video of yours I've stumbled into while looking for samples from the Z50 and its kit lenses. I adore your chill vibe and aesthetic, and you convinced me to get the camera. Also, subbed. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words! Happy to hear my videos could help you with your decision :). Let me know if you have any questions about your Z50. I’ll do my best to answer them.
You didn't bore me to death with specs about the camera and lens but the photos spoke for themselves A nice piece of kit indeed. I'm not surprised I've got Nikons DSLRs myself 📷👍
I have the same camera. I have no use for the 16-50mm lens. I have a 200-500mm lens and a 50-250mm lens for my photography. Great video. Thanks for sharing this video with us. ❤❤❤
Super chilled wandering about with your camera - love the background music also. Just watched 3 videos back to back with my wife on a big TV and you are getting me excited about getting out with cameras again.
Hi, I notice that sometimes you use relatively high ISO like 2500 and 4000, and keep the shutter speed below 1/200. What if using lower ISO and lower shutter speed like 1/100? And how did you keep your photo clean with high ISO, did you use lightroom AI denoise? BTW It's a great vid and I really enjoy watching it!
Hey, thanks for the question. I think I was trying to bring in more light while also keeping things relatively sharp. The Z50 can handle ISO around 3-4000. Where it starts to fall apart is up in the 8-10,000 in my experience. Never tried AI de noise on any of my photos.
Don’t sleep on the 50-250mm The sharpness is quite good for a Kit Lens. I have a 70-200 VR G lens which is sharp also but I only use for gigs and low light. But bro 😎 daylight and walkabout street the kit lenses are far from capable… matter of fact I seldomly applied sharpening in post. Again for personal/ family etc… it’s really ideal
Thank you for the kind words! It’s the perfect lens for the Z50/Z30! You’ll love it. I made a few other POV videos with it as well if you want to see more photos :).
@@RolandKaufmann absolutely! almost like you set up the lighting for it haha. As a watch guy, a car guy, and a photography guy it was very satisfying lol
I like the style of these videos. Also as someone looking to jump from Canon 250D to Z mount, the Z50 looks like a ridiculously underrated camera! I watched your video of your hike in the forest with the 35mm and the video quality looked great!
Thanks so much! Z50 is a very solid option to get into the Z ecosystem. If you can spend a little more the Z5 is also a good option as you get a Full Frame sensor. If you have any questions about the Z50, ask away!
@@RolandKaufmann I mainly shoot automotive and aviation. Good autofocus and fast burst speed is what I'd like. Wouldn't be the end of the world to keep the slow burst rate of my 250D if I went with the Z5, the increase in low light, wider fov and better dynamic range would be nice to have. The two things I wanted to ask is how big is the Z50? Also how is the autofocus and burst speed? I shoot mainly photo but also looking to do more video. Thanks
@@airmetalmedia the Z50 is a really compact little camera actually. The best part is that it still has a very robust grip so it’s very comfortable to hold. I think you can get 11fps in photo mode. As far as auto focus goes it’s good but not great. I get best results using the “single point” AF mode. One final note, it does have quite a bit of rolling shutter when shooting higher shutter speeds and panning with subjects. Something to keep in mind.
I'm amazed by your skills and the output.. Of the images taken. These all are really good photos and not something I expected from nikon z50 with 50-250 lens.. I always had this cam on mind and was in doubt whether to buy.. Now I'm quite convinced to buy this.. Are all these images edited or straight out of the camera.. If edited then which software 🤔?
Thank you Mohammed!! The Z 50 is a great little camera for all kinds of photography! If you have any questions about yours (when you get it) ask away. All of the (RAW) images were edited in Lightroom. Usually just adjusting exposure a little bit :).
I might buy the Z50 now, I planned on buying A6400. But Sony lenses are expensive, and their kit lenses sucks. Kit lens on z50 produces great images... Great work, Got to learn something new and now having different opinion about the nikon.
If the lack of sharpness is due to motion blur then you’ll need to pick a faster shutter speed. A common rule is to make the shutter speed double your focal length (when shooting at 50mm you’ll want at least a 1/100 shutter speed). Most lenses are sharpest around f/8 during bright sunny days. I’ve had good results with the Nikkor lenses around f/4-5.6 as well though.
I love my z50 so much i decided not to pursue a new Z-full frame offering at the moment. I do have the Z 24-70mm |2.8 s tho but I don''t use it frequently. For Street I use the Z 16-50mm and my Voigtlander 40mm| 2 and 58mm| 1.4.... and my Fuji Xpro3 w/18mm|1.4 oh and the 27mm|2.8
Yeah same!! I have mine set up exactly how I want it now. Sounds like a nice set up for street. I got to get back to using the 16-50. It just means I’m so much closer haha.
Excelent video Roland! I'm about to hit z30 with both 16-50 and 50-250mm Lens. This video just made me certain, sharpness You present od fantastic for me. Great work! Consider implementing photo parameters in post. Thank You so much!
Thank you for the kind words Michal. I’m positive you’ll get great results with that setup! I’ll keep on experimenting with displaying camera settings. I don’t put them on the photo cause I found it to be too much to look at all at once. I’ve tried a different way of displaying in a couple other videos. What are your thoughts on this method…?

@@bigboi36 Nikon Z30 and Z50 are almost the same camera in term of image quality: same sensor, same kit lens, same image processor. Maybe Z30 has a better focus system, but I don't think it is much different. I'm sure will not be any noticed differences between shots on Z50 and Z30. I'm using Z50 starting with May of 2021, using the 16-50 and 50-250mm lenses. Yes, it is a good camera, nice colours, and has few features like semi-pro I'd say. Surprisingly a good dynamic range for a crop sensor of 20.9 MP resolution. It is true, I dont do portraits, but landscape, travels,. However, too bad that Nikon has no other lens for aps-c sensor on Z mounts, and neither another manufacturer (tamron, sigma) has no Z lenses. Possible, even a better choice for all-round lens to be the 18-140mm which worth it. But, yes, it is true, you can use the full-frame Nikon Z lenses for a bigger price.
I can absolutely vouch for the Z50 for any type of photography you want to do. When it comes to video you’re going to have to think about certain things more. Without IBIS in the Z50 I tend to use lenses that have VR in them to shoot video. Otherwise it turns into a wobbly mess. So it depends on what you want to shoot video of and what lenses you intend to use for that.
Hi Roland! I really like your videos. I will by the Z50 or Z fc and I am currently debating whether I should buy the 50-250 mm with the kit lens 16-50, or if I should go with only 28 mm /2.8. I already have a 28 mm /2.8 as an really old Nikon lens with manual focus which I hope to use with the adaptor (and I don't have a zoom lens which I would like). But I am afraid I am paying more for two ok lenses, instead of one really good one 😂 Any tips for me?
Thank you very much! Ohhhh that’s a tough decision haha. I will say the 50-250mm might be my favourite all-time lens for my Z50 (even above a couple f/1.8 S primes). It’s perfectly suited to the APS-C crop of the Z50/Z30. If I’m understanding correctly you’ll have the 16-50mm, your adapted 28mm, and potentially the 50-250mm. I’d say that’s a pretty sweet combo. You’re covered from 16-250mm. Let me know if you have any other questions 📷
@RolandKaufmann Thanks for your input. I am leaning towards picking the 50-250, especially after your videos! Is there a lot editing on your finnished photos? Yes, it is a package deal with the camera. Either I choose 16-50 and 50-250, or only the 28. I don't know if I will ever use the 16-50 but hey, who knows! And I am hoping my old Nikon lenses will work great with the adaptor. I do also have an old one that is 135mm / 2.8 so I am really looking forward to have a new camera that works with these.
@@Hemlighetsmakeri no problem! Only you know what’s best for you :). I don’t do a whole lot of editing to the photos. Usually just up the saturation a bit and bring up the shadows a bit (usually shoot those a touch underexposed). The 2 kit lenses are really impressive for their price. I still use both of them when the time is right (usually on bright sunny days haha). At the very least they’re good options if you’re not sure which focal lengths will work best on the Z50. You can try them all! Best of luck with the new set up!
@@RolandKaufmann Thank you so much! I am really excited for my new camera. 🥰 I have been using a Fujifilm x-t10 for some years now so the new camera will feel like a futuristic rocketship 😂
I got a z30, would you say you use the back screen more and just get it in composition and shoot? Or use EVF more. I find the z30 is good for portraits for how the screen flips out
I use the back screen when I’m making POV videos so you can see the camera/settings if you look close enough haha. But I use the EVF a lot of I need to nail the focus. I’d say it’s like 60% back screen 40% EVF.
Hey Franco, low light is all about getting the aperture as low as possible (for me that was 3.5 or 4) keeping the sutter speed as high as possible (I think 1/100 was the max I could go) and then raising my iso 800-1500. You can tweak all these settings on the fly :)
Hey man planing to buy Z50 with DX 16-50 and DX 50-250 i will get all 3 of them new for 1000€ . My only concern is is the Z50 good with car photography. Standing and rolling. Also wanted to use it for Portraits and some landscape. What do you think about it. TIA Toni
Hey Toni, I think that’s about what I paid for the same 3 items two years ago. Seems like camera gear isn’t going down in price. I’ve shot all 3 of those things with the Z50 and it does really well. The only thing is the rolling shutter is quite noticeable if you’re shooting really fast moving subjects passing by. It should be fine if you’re doing rolling shots though. Check out my instagram @roland_kaufmann_ if you want to see a bunch of shots I’ve taken.
@RolandKaufmann Thanks, man, for the fast reply and information Yeah, the prices never go down only stay or go higher. I will check out your IG . Definitely buying Z50 :D
@@RolandKaufmann I’m thinking about getting/saving up for the Z 50 because I love photography but only been doing on my phone which I’m good at. But want to learn on an actual camera! 😀
The 50-250mm lens in this video might be a good option! Nikon also makes an 18-140mm lens that could be good if you’re looking to shoot a bit wider. All comes down to personal preference. I really like the 50-250mm though. Shoot with it a lot!
For the low light shots I was shooting at the lowest aperture I could usually (3.5 or 4), shutter speed around 1/100, and iso around 800-1000. Had to bring up exposure and shadows in Lightroom afterwards. Hope this helps. Settings may vary depending on your conditions.
Good question! A couple years ago I would have said the Sony, but Nikon have done a great job of adding DX lenses to the Z line up. Nikon Z50 all the way!
@@RolandKaufmann I've been eyeing for the sony a6400 but the z50 catches my eye because of its buttons and classic mirroless look. Thanks for this, I'll consider your answer as my final decision to buy the z50.
I’ve been out of the camera market for a couple years, but at the time this camera was very good for the price! The fact I’m still using it 2+ years later must mean something :). Which other camera are you looking at?
nice video. I just subscribed to your channel, and i Hope soon you will get monetized. I am also hoping i will get 1000 subcribers soon, but it is going very difficult.

Hey Toni, I think that’s about what I paid for the same 3 items two years ago. Seems like camera gear isn’t going down in price. I’ve shot all 3 of those things with the Z50 and it does really well. The only thing is the rolling shutter is quite noticeable if you’re shooting really fast moving subjects passing by. It should be fine if you’re doing rolling shots though. Check out my instagram @roland_kaufmann_ if you want to see a bunch of shots I’ve taken.
@RolandKaufmann Thanks, man, for the fast reply and information
Yeah, the prices never go down only stay or go higher.
I will check out your IG .
Definitely buying Z50 :D
We’re these pictures edited after words or are these straight from the camera? Because they are super beautiful picture. Also very sharp! 😊
Thank you! Photos were edited in Lightroom. I may try and show the RAW images in a future video :).
@@RolandKaufmann 👍😀
@@RolandKaufmann also would love to see the raw/ unedited versions of your pictures just to see how good the quality of photos are from the Z 50!
@@RolandKaufmann I’m thinking about getting/saving up for the Z 50 because I love photography but only been doing on my phone which I’m good at. But want to learn on an actual camera! 😀
@@jaxoneason4470 the Z50 is a good camera to transition from cell phones! That’s what I did :)
Amazing. Thats sooc or u edit file raw. Sr my English is not good
Thank you!! These are edited raw files. Edited in Lightroom.
@@RolandKaufmann u can show me some best lens for z50. I like Scenery, moon, flower, sunset and portrait. Thank u so much
The 50-250mm lens in this video might be a good option! Nikon also makes an 18-140mm lens that could be good if you’re looking to shoot a bit wider. All comes down to personal preference. I really like the 50-250mm though. Shoot with it a lot!
May I know your camera setting when shooting low light in the evening?
For the low light shots I was shooting at the lowest aperture I could usually (3.5 or 4), shutter speed around 1/100, and iso around 800-1000. Had to bring up exposure and shadows in Lightroom afterwards. Hope this helps. Settings may vary depending on your conditions.
how is the camera in low light?
It’s definitely not the best low light camera. But if you put a low aperture lens on it then it’s quite capable!
Z50 or a64000 for photography?
Good question! A couple years ago I would have said the Sony, but Nikon have done a great job of adding DX lenses to the Z line up. Nikon Z50 all the way!
@@RolandKaufmann I've been eyeing for the sony a6400 but the z50 catches my eye because of its buttons and classic mirroless look. Thanks for this, I'll consider your answer as my final decision to buy the z50.
Is this camera considered the best in the same price category? Or do you advise me what is best? ❤❤
I’ve been out of the camera market for a couple years, but at the time this camera was very good for the price! The fact I’m still using it 2+ years later must mean something :). Which other camera are you looking at?
@@RolandKaufmann canon 200d for exemple ??
@@medali8686 I’d take the Nikon Z50 over that. I personally wouldn’t buy a DSLR camera in 2023. Mirrorless is the modern standard of cameras.
@@RolandKaufmann thanks you brother . Really appreciate your help

That’s a good one! Thanks for watching :)
@@RolandKaufmann looking forward to buy it.
@@marshallminzz4897 I don’t think I can sell you the photo, but send me an email to rkaufmann02@gmail.com and I can send you a digital copy!
nice video. I just subscribed to your channel, and i Hope soon you will get monetized. I am also hoping i will get 1000 subcribers soon, but it is going very difficult.
Thanks so much!! I hope you find success on RUclips as well :).
