    • [UPDATED] Affordable step-up from iPhone 14 pro & Sony ZV-E10 - for vlog & streaming
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm + 50-250mm Lens
My interest in camera began with my iPhone 11 few yrs back and upgraded to 14 pro but soon realized its limitations while vlogging as I've to settle for front camera instead of mighty rear camera. Z30 steps-up game significantly with more control on picture quality than a smartphone for video and Elgato facecam for streaming. Invest some time in learning the basics of picture composition (which's same for all camera brands) since it's a one-time investment to unleash full potential of this little Swiss army knife semi-pro camera. Youtube has very good tutorials on basics. Drawbacks and easy fixes: 1) overheating while streaming: 4k overheats regardless of fps. Fortunately, 1080p 50fps is not overheating and can run as long as I need with Elgato 4k camlink. 1080p quality is fantastic ! Not missing 4k due to its crazy recording file sizes filling-up hard-drives quickly 2)no view-finder: don't miss this as a one coming from smartphones generation 3)no audio monitor: same as above. Never needed one while vlogging thru smartphone as I test check my levels before shoot 4) crowded ports covering display: use left-angled micro HDMI and right-angled USB-c cable adapters This cam's lightweight, portability and low price overweighs these and any other limitations. Interestingly it has 11fps which's higher than its pricier full-frame Z5 bro. Mainly using this for video & streaming. UPDATED: after looking at raving reviews on Sony ZV-E10 + sigma 16mm lens, I gave it a try but had to return it back as: 1) Nikon colors are more realistic than Sony right out of cam. Each video needs post-process to get good colors on zv-e10 2) 4k 30p is not cropped on z30 which's great for vlogging. enabling electronic-VR crops a bit on z30 but is still better than zv-e10's always cropped 4k 30p 3) zv-e10 needs catalyst browser to fix vibration issues but z30 comes with decent VR built-in kit lens 4) z30 display got touch screen both for controls and auto-focus while zv-e10 is all buttons. This's great in selfie mode when we can't see back buttons. Latter feature lets me touch any object on screen to begin auto-focus on it. No issues with auto-focus so far. 5) sony+sigma setup feels bulky & heavy to hold for vlogging and bit more desk space for streaming compared to z30 with kit lens. You almost certainly feel need for gimbal with sony. z30 grip rocks ! 6) HDMI and USB-c ports are way too crowded on zv-e10 than z30. If either one of micro-hdmi or usb-c plugs are big, you're out of luck 7) tally light on z30 is killer feature! it even blinks when it gets hot or low-battery 8) nikon menu layout is lot intuitive and easier than sony 9) z30 comes weather sealed unlike zv-e10 11) audio quality on z30 is awesome 12) after all the above, paying $300+ more for outdated zv-e10+sigma lens combo didn't make sense ONLY Con this camera has compared to more recent released mirrorless cams of other brands in this budget is lack of UVC/UAC support to let us connect via USB without needing Elgato camlink and still get Z30's excellent 1080p quality streaming ... show more

Review Image by John Bravo John Bravo
The product arrived on time and in good condition. The camera itself is easy to use. It is user-friendly and the settings are easy to navigate. The included lens is sharp and video quality is amazing. I bought this camera to take videos when hiking and I’m amazed by how well it performed. Strong stabilization, clear frames, ease of use, compact form factor, and smooth adjustment screen. Coming from a DSLR, it did take a bit of time to get used to having no view finder. But once I did, it was easier to use than the view finder. The screen adjust to exposure settings, so what you’re seeing screen is the photo you’re taking. Overall great product. ... show more

    • Amazing small size camera with a ton of features!
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm Lens
My new go to light weight travel camera. I don't take too many videos with my phone anymore and just use this instead! I photograph all my hand painted miniatures with it since the kit lens has a decent zoom level too! I love the flip screen and the size is perfect to fit in your pocket if you're wearing a jacket! ... show more

I would have given this 5 stars but didn't because the battery life is horrible. It maybe lasts for 2 hours. The second reason for only 4 stars is that it only allows you to connect to the computer with the cable that came with is. You can't even connect with a high quality usb-c cable. Is there a firmware update that could fix this cable limitation? Finally: if the camera is on it won't charge the battery while plugged in. It apparently only charges when the camera is off. I could not even plug it into a USB cable and charge while recording, it just shut off the display and said shutter was turned off because the battery was dead. I had to stop recording and let it charge. It would be nice if you could do 4k at 60 fps. But 1080p is good enough for YouTube. I like it that the screen folds out to the side that way you can put it in a tripod and still see the screen. Overall I am happy with the video quality and get a good range with the zoom on the included lense. ... show more

    • Amazing pictures
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm Lens
I love everything about this camera except for one thing, I need a Viewfinder, I am just too old school in that regard. The ergonomics of this camera are incredible, I think they made it just for me. The controls buttons and dials just feel very nice, battery life is fine, and the best thing of all is the quality of the photos it can produce, I am impressed. Sharp, beautiful colors. I also like the B&W images. If you can live without a viewfinder, you will love this camera and the lens is super nice as well. ... show more

I have been using Nikon cameras for more than 40 years. I have always loved the sharpness of the lenses, and the Z lens that I have for my Z30 meet my expectations. The lenses are sharp, the 20MP sensor has incredible fidelity and low-light performance. Image stabilization is very good, and the auto-focus is the best I have used. Importantly to me, these lenses also allow manual focus in those situations when the camera doesn't quite get it right. There are a full range of manual controls, and they are pretty logical, though after two months, I am still figuring out some of them. However, I have that issue with just about every modern, semi-pro camera — too many buttons and dials and options. The learning curve is steep. Nonetheless, I'm getting pictures I really like with this camera, and expect to use it as long as it allows. It feels like a Nikon — sturdy and reliable. If it lasts anywhere near as long as the Nion F i still have tucked away, i will be thrilled. ... show more
