Best Full Frame Mirrorless Camera For Astrophotography

Beautiful pictures. Best non-full frame camera.

Got this camera to upgrade to a full frame from my D5300. I enjoy taking concert photos and astrophotography. Great performance in low light conditions and awesome to have a large range of exposure options. Super clear images.

I use this lens for astrophotography. On a full frame camera the 24 mm is just fine and the f/1.4 is enough to use a lower ISO for less noise.

My first full frame mirrorless and I couldn’t be happier.

Best compact camera ever! Full frame, small, great for traveling.

Nice and compact camera case for your standard full frame mirrorless body as long as it's not a Z8, Z9 or Canon R3.

It is a good full frame mirrorless camera with a useful lens at very attractive price. I am very lucky to buy the kit from B&H. B&H provides great services even for a foreign buyer like me!

I recently purchased a full frame mirrorless camera and quickly learned that I will need to carry one or two extra batteries in my bag to make it through a day of shooting.  The Canon LP-E17 battery is fine, but mirrorless cameras dont typically offer very good battery life.  I ordered the battery online using the B&H website which is very easy to use and as usual B&H shipped the battery promptly and it arrived in just a couple of days.  I did check a local big box electronic store, but found their price for the battery was significantly higher than B&H.  B&H offers free shipping and no State sales tax...you just cant B&H for their large selection, very competitive pricing and outstanding customer service.

The Nikon Z50 is an excellent complement to and a suitable transition from my Nikon D7100. It's Nikon's first APS-C mirrorless camera. A similarly-equipped Z6 would be more than three times as much (w/comparable full-frame 24-70mm and 80-400mm lenses) and would render my current APS-C glass obsolete. I always thought that full-frame lenses were the way to go for APS-C cameras because of the “sweet spot” argument, thereby avoiding the marginal corner performance of most non-professional lenses. This is self-defeating in the sense that one pays for the full-frame coverage and has to accept the concomitant weight penalty. The Z50 takes normal SD memory cards [albeit only one slot - SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I)], and has a built-in flash that is lacking in the Z6 and Z7. Both kit lenses appear to have ultra-sharp optics, fast autofocus and are incredibly lightweight. Unfortunately, their lens shades are excluded from the kit. The FTZ Lens Mount Adapter became the decision-maker by B&H's offering it as a bundled savings. This makes my favorite compliment of Nikon Landscape & Macro Two Lens Kit with 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR & 40mm f/2.8G as well as my Nikon DX Fisheye 10.5mm f2.8G ED totally usable. DX lenses on full-frame Z6 or Z7 bodies automatically crop their sensors to DX, so you're discarding more than half your sensor area and getting less resolution than by using them on a Z50. Granted, the Z50 lacks in-camera five-axis image stabilization, but alternatively, the lenses do have vibration reduction. If you own a majority of DX lenses, I highly recommend the Z50 mirrorless alternative.

Fits Nikon mirrorless and full frame DSLR batteries perfectly. Straps perfectly to my camera holster or belt!
