The smallest and lightest Z-series camera has been unveiled byNikon. The device has a flip-out display, 4K 30p video and a long 125-minute video record time, but lacks an electronic viewfinder.
The Z30 is the thirdAPS-C (DX) model from Nikon. The company's full-frame models use the same giant Z-mount as it does. It has a simple but effective control setup with a mode dial on top, front and rear, and buttons for ISO, exposure compensation, and shooting mode. There is a tally light on the front of the other models.
Due to the large mount, there isn't a lot of room between the lens for your fingers. It has a fully-articulating 3.0-inch screen that can be flipped out to make self-portrait mode on it. There are built-in mics, a microphone input, and a single UHS-I memory card slot. It doesn't have a headphone jack which is bad for video creators.
Sony's ZV-E10 vlogging camera has an advantage over the Z 30. The full width of the sensor makes it possible to shoot 4K at up to 30 frames per second. It's important that a crop doesn't make it hard to get into the shot. Unlike the ZV-E10, it can shoot up to 120 frames per second for slow-mo. The Z30 doesn't have a built-inIBS, but it does have electronic stabilization.
Fast and sharp hybrid phase-detect with face, eye and animal detection is promised by the company. It's similar to the Z50 and Z fc models, which are decent but lag behind Sony'sAPS-C cameras in terms of accuracy and speed. Depending on the scene, it has a picture control auto function. There is no one-click product showcase on the ZV-E10.
It has the same battery size as the other two models and a 330 shot rating. The Z30 can record up to 125 minutes of video in high definition and 35 minutes in 4K. To get those figures, you have to use the camera's power port.
It's already behind the 8-ball in that area without an electronic viewfinder, despite the promise of good photography performance. The ability to shoot a photo while recording video is one of the perks.
The Z30 arrives in mid-July at $710 for the body only, $850 with a kit Nikkor ZDX 16-50mm f/ 3.5-6.3 lens, or $1,200 with the Nikkor ZDX 50-250mm f/ 4.5-6.3 lens. The 14-140mm f/ 3.5-6.3 lens is going to be available in November. The Creators accessory kit will include a small rig tripod grip, a nikon l7 remote, and a mic.
The Z 400mm f/ 4.5 VR S is the lightest full-frame Z-mount lens in its class at 2.55 pounds. In July 2022, it will cost $3,250.
