Nikon Full Frame Mirrorless Camera 2018

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 been using Nikon DSLRs since 2013, and have mostly enjoyed them. But I have been wanting to upgrade to a mirrorless system for quite some time. I initially looked at Nikon, as that was what I knew. Then I looked at Sony, as they had the most time in the mirrorless game. I had found cameras I liked, but had never found 'the one' as none of them checked all my boxes. With this camera/lens pairing, I found exactly what I was looking for. A full-frame mirrorless body with a great first lens (it's what kit lenses should be: wide range of focal lengths, made of quality glass and fast enough for most situations.) The autofocus is as good as everyone says. I couldn't be happier. It works great in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, but also works great for someone who is just starting out (my significant other). I think this camera/lens combo is perfect as a first full-frame mirrorless. I don't think you can beat what you get for the money.

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

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.

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.
