Agree totally. It's been 8 years - will we never get a better APS-C sensor from Nikon?

"Heft" is not something I am looking for in a travel or wildlife camera. If I wanted it heavier I'd tape on some weights.

It's the same 20mp APS-C sensor they've been re-packaging for 8 years now. For this latest incarnation, they added better autofocus to the Z50 but made the body bigger and heavier for no obvious...

Actually has less resolution.

My credit card would come out so fast that the edges would melt. But I'm betting it won't happen. As we've found out, the mantra "move up to full frame" turned out to be marketing gold.

Sure hope so.

Just buy a used Z50 - it takes exactly the same pictures and is even smaller and lighter.

I for one have totally had enough of these BS "content creators" demanding access to everything from national parks to local disasters - regardless of any effects on other people. And here's a...

Sadly, it's only about half of an upgrade to Z50 owners. I'm really not interested in buying the same 20mp sensor again after 5 years.

As I suspected.  Disappointing.

Is there no way to change the AF's Minimum Object Distance on this lens?

And they just keep repackaging that 8-year-old 20mp sensor.

But sports and wildlife shooters still have to be a significant part of the market.

"the Z50II is based on a newer generation of technology than the Zfc"

Except for that same 8-year-old sensor... just a minor detail of course...

I'm enjoying the respect! Go ahead and buy a Z50II, and have fun getting better shots of dogs catching Frisbees. BTW my SD cards work fine.

I think I'll just clean up my old Z50, put it in a nice box, seal it up... then have an "unboxing"... pretend it's new, and save the cost of the upgrade. Because the Z50 II takes exactly the...

Well I'm a Z50 owner and Nikon sure isn't going to sell me that same 20mp sensor again after 5 years. I recognize the value of the improved AF, but if they want to get me to upgrade, they have to...

Those sample photos would look exactly the same if shot with a 5-year-old Z50.

Ok, it's pricey and therefor an easy target for ridicule. I won't be buying one, but hey, I'm old. I will say, though, that I have a wax cotton jacket and it feels darn good, not stiff and...

If you think this 8-year-old 20Mp sensor seems dated today, just wait a couple of years.
