Some new/additional information on the upcoming Nikon Z50 APS-C mirrorless camera:
- Nikon Z50 price: €900 in most European countries (around $980)
- Nikon Z50 kit price with the new Nikkor Z 16-55mm (or 16-50mm) f/3.5-6.3 VR lens: €1,100 (around $1,200)
- The Nikon Z50 will have a rear screen that can be tilted downwards for selfies but it will not work with selfie sticks
- 4k video
- Maximum shutter speed: 1/4000
- The Nikon Z50 will be a direct Sony a6400 camera competitor
Previously reported Z50 specifications:
- 20MP APS-C sensor (based on the D500 sensor)
- Single SD card slot
- 3″ pivoted LCD
- 11 fps
- No IBIS
- Fixed EVF (not removable EVF as described in the latest design patents)
- New Nikon EN-EL25 battery
- Announcement date: October 10th
- The official announcement could be as early as next week
- The Z50 will be the equivalent of the D7xxx DSLR cameras
- Two new APS-S mirrorless lenses: Z-Nikkor 16-55mm f/3.5-6.3 and Z-Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3
- The Nikon Z50 will look very similar to the Nikon Z1 prototype camera – it was described to me as a smaller version of the Z6/Z7
My personal guess is that Nikon will show a new Nikkor Z APS-C roadmap and I think we will finally see some prime DX lenses – something we missed in the F-mount lineup (please note that this is just my personal guess, I have no reliable info on that rumor).
There are several new Nikon product boxes design patents that could be used for the new products:
