Mirrorless
The type of camera.
viewfinder
Electronic viewfinder (EVF)
The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
is weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution
1040k dots
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
EVF resolution
32k dots
An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
has a built-in focus motor
✖Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
screen size
3.2"
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Optics
sensor size
APS-C
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount
Nikon Z
focus points
209
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
megapixels (main camera)
20.9 MP
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO
51200 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO
204800 ISO
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
✖Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Videography
video recording (main camera)
2160 x 30 fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✖Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate
144 Mbps
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
Battery life (CIPA)
300 shots
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
has a removable battery
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR

has pixel shift shot
✖Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
shoots raw
✔Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
supports lossless compressed raw
✖Nikon Z50 + Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR

It is great at photos but is not as good as Sony cameras for video. the low light performance is good but could be better with a bigger image sensor.
