Everyday Full Frame Mirrorless Camera

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

I had just replaced my Canon 70D with a Mirrorless R camera, and wanted a walk-a-round less that took best advantage of the full frame capability of the R. I was not at all disappointed! The lens is a bit narrower than the 18-135 it was replacing, but I haven't even noticed a difference in everyday use. The images it produces are very sharp and full of color. The body of the lens is exceptionally robust and the extension/retraction of the barrel is firm and smooth. Focusing is very quick and quiet. I've yet to run into an everyday situation where I don't have enough reach, or can focus on relatively close objects, so I'm very happy with my decision and don't regret the expense at all.

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!

I have waited a while to purchase a full frame camera. And although the mirrorless cameras have improved since their launching, I still want to wait for the next generations to come out. The overheating and lockups sound like a problem to me and I want to wait until the industry improves on those issues. I know the 6D II arrived with unless than great fanfare, but it's still a full frame camera! And that is the experience I was ready to have after owning a Canon T6. I have only had the 6D II for two weeks, so I will have to write an update review once I have had more time to shoot with it. But so far, I am very pleased with the build and functionality of the camera. I purchased the Canon 100mmL to go with it as I am transitioning from street photography to portraiture.

It's a basic backpack but it does it's job well. There's room for one full-frame mirrorless or DSLR camera and two lenses. Top compartment is good for carrying snacks or accessories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used w Sony full frame mirrorless camera and super zoom + wide angle lens. Snug fit but worked. Had small tripod under outside straps and 22 oz water bottle in bottom sleeve. Caught out in a few surprise rain showers, bag interior stayed dry. Loved it for this trip - seems well made for the long haul. Previously only used backpacks; I prefer a sling now.
