The New Nikon Fx Full Frame Mirrorless Camera

I'm very pleased with my FX full-frame Nikon D780 camera. And it's nice to be able to swap lenses between it and my Nikon D7200 DX camera body.

I've been using full frame (FX) Nikon cameras for eight years now. This DX camera gives me more reach than the FX cameras when doing bird and wildlife photography. This camera also has the same connections as my D810, so a lot of the accessories I have will work with this camera. This is an excellent camera for the price!

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.

I am an amateur photographer with a Nikon D-40. This lens is great! It fits with both the DX series cameras (though not a true 50 mm - since the body is not full frame) as well as the higher end full frame Nikon (FX) bodies, for when photographers wish to upgrade. Although it is optimized for the FX cameras, I honestly can't say enough about this lens when paired with my DX camera. It has made me excited again about my photography, particularly close-ups, portraits, etc. The bokeh is supreme and this single focal length lens is fast and produces exciting photos in low-light even. It also can be manipulated seemlessly between manual and autofocus settings on both the DX and FX bodies.

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

Love the camera. New to full frame and leaning to get out of auto. The lens is great. Bag is small for this set up but perfect for my older smaller camera. B&H is excellent to work with.

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!
