Nikon Launches DX-Format Z 50 Mirrorless Camera and Lenses

The wait is over for a DX-format mirrorless camera, with the newly announced Nikon Z 50. Super compact and easy to use, the Z 50 is perfect for travel, family, and everyday carry. The ability to record 4K UHD video, edit in-camera, and share content directly to smartphones makes it an ideal choice for social media users looking to upgrade from their phones.
The Z 50 packs an exceptionally capable 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 engine into Nikon’s smallest interchangeable lens DX-format camera to date. Combined with its Z-mount design, it enters the market with a wide selection of lenses to maximize its potential. Additionally, two new lenses will accompany the Z 50 into the DX world: the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens and the NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens. Together, the two zooms cover an impressively wide focal range for photographers getting started with Nikon mirrorless.

Nikon put a lot of thought into the creative workflow of on-the-go social media posters when designing this camera. Its touchscreen LCD can be flipped down 180 degrees to activate Self Portrait Mode when taking selfies, vlogging, or checking for spinach in your teeth. Speaking of vlogging, its ability to record 4K UHD and Full HD 1080p 120 fps slow-motion video provides a variety of creative possibilities, and a 3.5mm mic input allows you to incorporate your favorite microphone.
