![]() ![]() Nikon seems to want you to use full frame lenses with this camera, thus the bigger grip and also even the lack of a single prime on its roadmap for the DX Z mount. In this example the Z 50 is equipped with the excellent 35mm 1.8 Z mount lens that cost $849, while comparing that to the M50 with the 32mm 1.4 that costs under $500. Otherwise, you’re forced to use full frame lenses, and with full frame size and weight. On one hand you can use the FTZ adapter and the existing DX lenses for the F mount, but has Thom Hogan always states, pssst, pssst, they really don’t exist there either. Consider that for the foreseeable future, to have a standard prime on the Z50 you have to use something like this as compared to the M50 ![]() If they do that and make a bigger lens ecosystem that is tailored exactly for the EOS-M camera and EF-M mount, then the benefit of the Z mount for Nikon for the most part disappears. Canon needs to develop more primes and also some higher end zooms. That’s not to say that Canon can rest on their laurels, if they are to continue with the EOS-M, then they now certainly need to give it a bit of lens love. What if the APS-C cameras are simply relegated to the cheaper, consumer line? Does it make sense to do move everything to the RF mount? Probably not – and I’d argue that it is in Canon’s best interest to stay with what they have. There’s certainly a benefit to that, especially if Canon wants to make a high-end mirrorless APS-C flagship camera. There is quite a bit of speculation that now that the Z50 is out that Canon needs to shutter the EOS-M and move everything to the RF mount. Obviously, the competition between Nikon and Canon regardless of how Nikon is faring is always strong, so does this spell the end of the EOS-M, and does Canon need to move APS-C to the RF mount to combat the Z mount? Will this spell the shift from the EOS-M to the RF mount for Canon? They also have a 18-140mm consumer zoom on their roadmap as the only other APS-C lens in the foreseeable future for APS-C Nikon users. Nikon finally came out with an APS-C mirrorless camera, called the Z 50 and two consumer zooms. The Nikon Z50 is out - is Canon EOS-M doomed? If you like what we do here, maybe buy me a coffee.

We've been shooting with the Z50 for a while and have plenty of real-world shots to show you how the camera performs.This post may contain affiliate links(s). We found a lot to like about the Z50 but it has some very capable rivals in better-established systems. The Z50's video looks good and it's one of the easiest cameras to shoot both stills and video with. The Z50's AF system is pretty effective, but is a little fiddly compared with its peers. It still looks pretty good against the competition. The Z50 is based around an updated version of the 20.2MP sensor we fist saw in the D500. Reviews editor Carey Rose spent a couple of hours shooting with a near-final Nikon Z50. We take a look at the new camera and how it operates. We take a look at what it offers and how it squares up to its rivals. ![]() The Z50 is Nikon's first APS-C mirrorless camera. The adapter is not included in any of the kits announced so far. The Z50 is compatible with the FTZ mount adapter, allowing it to use F-mount DSLR lenses. Adding the 16-50mm zoom takes the price to $1000 and a two-lens kit with both DX zooms takes the list price to $1350. The Z50 will be available for sale from November, with an MSRP of $860, body-only.

The Nikon Z50 is a 20.9MP mirrorless camera: the first time the company has put an (unstabilized) APS-C sensor behind its new, larger 'Z' lens mount. ![]()
