Nikon Z50 DX Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm VR

The power of Z, only smaller.

Z 50 delivers the award-winning performance of Z series in the smallest interchangeable lens DX-format camera ever.²

Have camera, will travel.

Z 50’s strong, durable magnesium alloy construction makes it tough enough to take just about anywhere without fear. No need to baby this baby.

Works with your smartphone.

Built-in Wi-Fi^® and Bluetooth make sharing a snap. Install Nikon’s SnapBridge app, and your Apple^® or Android™-powered phone becomes a powerful accessory for Z 50. Easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to your phone, and even use your phone as a remote monitor to see what Z 50 sees, adjust camera settings, take pictures and record video.

Shines in low light.

With a 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor, a robust EXPEED 6 engine and the light-gathering advantages of the wider Z mount, photos and videos shot in low light look clean and professional.

See for your selfie.

Flip down the LCD screen to activate Self Portrait Mode—perfect for taking selfies and for vlogging.

Eye catching in so many ways.

When shooting photos, Z 50’s outstanding autofocus system can lock onto your subject’s eye and keep focus there, even when they’re in motion, for beautifully focused portraits.

Creative filters and effects.

Get creative with unique mood-setting filters and effects. Z 50 includes 20 high quality Creative Picture Controls and 10 Special Effects, all of which can be previewed in real-time and applied to both photos and videos.

Silence is golden.

When you need to be a fly on the wall—capturing intimate moments, candid portraits, wildlife, music and more—turn on Silent Photography Mode and shoot in complete silence.

Comfortable Viewing

Smart Controls

Extreme attention was paid to the placement of each button and dial for comfortable, efficient handling.

High-End Feel

You can feel the quality. Well balanced, deep grip, magnesium alloy construction...sturdy in every way.

Oh, what a viewfinder.

Feast your eyes on Z 50’s stunning high-resolution Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). It activates when you bring the camera to your eye, and it shows you exactly how your photos and videos will look—preview Creative Picture Modes, filters, effects and camera settings in real time.

A touch of genius.

Swipe through photos and videos, touch to focus, navigate camera menus as easily as using a smartphone with Z 50’s large high-resolution touchscreen.

Z mount. One size fits all.

Your lens collection can grow with your creative aspirations. Z 50 works with all the cutting-edge NIKKOR Z lenses and approx. 360 compatible DSLR lenses (with the optional Mount Adapter FTZ).
