Source: GalaxusThe Z50 Il is really good in all test disciplines and therefore wins the test. It is beautifully compact, lightweight and sits comfortably in the hand thanks to the pronounced grip. The fast image processor (Expeed 7) is a particular advantage when it comes to autofocus. It recognises the subject very accurately and at very high speed...
The Nikon Z50II scored points in the test with numerous improvements. In addition to the consistently good image quality up to ISO 6,400, it clearly stands out from its predecessor with Nikon Z9-level autofocus object detection, faster and more enduring image series and the extended video functions for vloggers, but we would still have liked to see an increase to 24 megapixels...
Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros. In the days of DSLRs, the choice in this price range was much greater...
The combination of first-class autofocus and crop factor makes the Z50ll interesting not least for animal photographers. Those who do not need more than 21 megapixels are still well advised to use the sensor, which has very good noise behaviour. Nevertheless, there are still wishes that a top-of-the-range DX model could fulfil: above all, a larger viewfinder, automatic sensor cleaning and image stabilisation...
The Z50 Il sits comfortably in the hand thanks to its pronounced grip. It delivers high quality photos and videos. The autofocus recognises the subject very accurately and at very high speed. The Z50 Il films in 4K with up to 60 frames per second and 10-bit colour depth. A real advantage of the Z50 lI, especially on sunny days: the viewfinder is twice as bright as that of the competition.
