Nikon Z50 Z50 Black 2023
Its 20.9MP APS-C sensor and EXPEED 6 processor deliver 11fps burst shooting with reliable 209-point AF and Eye AF, all housed in a weather-sealed 184g magnesium body. The flip-down touchscreen and dual-lens kit (16-50mm and 50-250mm) provide versatility for travel and selfies, though the lack of in-body stabilization limits video. Best for outdoor and travel photographers who want a lightweight, weather-resistant mirrorless system with a broad focal range.
