The Nikon Z50 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera for beginners and travellers who want a deep grip and a built-in viewfinder in a small body. Three things matter: a 20.9 MP APS-C sensor, 209 hybrid autofocus points, and bursts of up to 11 fps. It records 4K at up to 30p and weighs 450 g. Stabilisation comes from VR lenses rather than the body. Compared with the Z50 II, it lacks 4K at 60p and the newer subject-detection autofocus, but it shares the same sensor resolution and lens mount.
