Nikon reveals the Z50 II – a modest update of its hobbyist mirrorless camera with an identity crisis

Must read

  • Same 20.9MP APS-C sensor as the Z50
  • Autofocus on par with pro Nikon Z9
  • Support for Nikon Cloud and custom color profiles

Nikon has updated its four-year-old Z50 with the Z50 II. The mini-DSLR-style successor comes with the same 20.9MP APS-C sensor, but packs Nikon’s latest Expeed 7 processor, which delivers a raft of performance-based improvements.

Nikon says the Z50 II has the same subject detection autofocus options as its professional Z8 and Z9 mirrorless cameras, with nine subject types to choose from, 3D tracking, custom-size autofocus areas, plus a smarter AF-A option (autofocus auto). It also debuts a Product Review mode, which easily switches focus between people and objects, much like Sony‘s Product Showcase autofocus mode.
