We mistakenly noted that this camera had no water resistance, but according to the manufacturer's website, the camera is in fact weather-sealed. We had previously shown the default low-speed setting of 3 fps.Īdded text to 'Photo AF-C Tracking' and 'Photo AF-C Center Point' boxes, with minor touch-ups throughout the review for clarity.Īdded full text to review and rewrote existing text for clarity. We've updated the 'Low Speed Continuous Shooting' field to reflect this camera's minimum low-speed burst rate of 1 fps. But this is also subjective to the viewer, as what would be "sharp enough" depends on the person.Added a link to the Nikon Z 30 in the 'Screen' section of the review. 45MP), according to Nikon's documentation. Just how some of the F-mount lenses can't fully resolve detail on the Z7 or D850 (ie. Maybe up to 60MP like the sensor found in the A7R IV if Nikon ever got their hands on that sensor, but I would think at 100MP you would need new lenses as even the current S lenses probably couldn't resolve enough detail for 100MP. I would also note that the current S lenses probably wouldn't be that great on a 100MP camera. The OP I think was more interested in adapting existing F-mount lenses though, which some have VR (like the 18-55 kit lens, and the 55-200/70-300, etc so he would be covered there. They're good/great, but they're not the best in the world. they're mostly sharper than their F mount counterparts, but there are some third parties that are still probably a tad sharper than some of the Z lenses. I'm not sure if the the S lenses are the sharpest in the world. While you probably can't see this outstanding IQ using a 20MP sensor, future purchases of 36, 45, 60, or 100 MP FF bodies will fully utilize S lenses' capabilities. On the other hand, the S lenses are among the sharpest in the world. So if you use an S lens on a Z50 you won't have IS available. My understanding of the Z50 is that the body doesn't have built in IS. Most of his work is on the Z6 but carries over to the Z50 also. Otherwise, Will at the Monochrome Memoires (Youtube) also has a few "tricks" adjusting the video settings on the camera that somehow aids in AF acquisition on photos too. For your BIF/action shots, I would try AF-C paired with dynamic area or wide area. The AF modes are a little different than your D7500 but experiment with them to see what may work best for your situation. If you haven't done so already, you can try setting AF-C priority selection (a1 under the custom setting menu) to "release". What type of "delay" are you experiencing? Acquiring focus or releasing the shutter? The Z50's AF acquisition is pretty quick in my experience with it. Love Olympus colors but like the menus so much better on Nikon.

Planned to use this for my travel camera, have my EM10 3 and lenses up for sale but feeling unsure. I do like shooting BIF and might be expecting too much though I have seen some really good action shots. Having a little trouble with focus, not sure what I am doing wrong but there is a delay.

Tried setting it up using Ken Rockwell settings but will have to dial it back. Just got the z50 and also have the D7500. this guy has put the Z50 (and Z6’s) through some real life usage as a wedding photographer and has a lot of good practical advice that is invaluable: Have a look at my post here for examples and determine for yourself:Īlso of interest to you is this thread regarding F mount lens VR on the Z50:Īlso, you need to check out this YouTube channel (Monochrome Memoires). Image quality between the two are pretty close. One thing to note is VR stays constantly ON on the Z camera’s (unlike on your D7500 where it only activates when you half press the shutter or BBF button). Having said that, I also own a D7500 and a Z50 I don’t know what type of lens you have but if they are recent AF-P and AF-S, those should all work seamlessly through the FTZ. Nothing beats having it in your hands and putting it through some actual usage to see if it works for you or not. That’s a good idea to take advantage of the yellow box test offer. Does the combination result in any reduction of resolution, i.e., a "crop mode" like when using a DX lens on a full frame DSLR? I can't seem to find an answer on how well my DX lenses and an FTZ adapter will work on the Z 50. I currently shoot a D7500, happily, but have been thinking about going mirrorless. I'm considering taking Nikon up on the "Yellow Box" offer to test a Z 50.
