Nikon finally discontinued the Entry-level DX-format line of cameras the Nikon D5xxx and Nikon D3xxx. According to the latest information coming out from the rumor mill now, Nikon officially sent notices to Nikon Stores regarding the discontinuation of their entry-level DSLR lineup.
Just before the announcement of the Canon R10 and Canon R7 cameras, Canon also officially discontinued the Canon M6 Mark II. To give a strong msg to the consumer base that they should now migrate to RF mount from EF-M Mount.
Let’s compare the Canon R10 vs the Nikon Z50 camera. Let’s discuss the major difference between the two. As we know the Canon R10 arrived with a conventional CMOS sensor and due to that Nikon Z50 is able to create space again with its low-light advantage

Image sensor & Low-light performance
Both sensors are made on conventional CMOS Sensor technology. None of them features a BSI sensor. But if we consider the two most important factors that we have here is
1. Expandable ISO range
2. 12% larger sensor pixel in Nikon Z50
Due to the larger pixel area, the sensor can grab more light compared to Canon R10 Sensor. And hence we do expect despite the refinements Canon has done with the R10 sensor despite keeping the sensor core technology the same. We will see at least 1 stop of improvement in the Nikon Z50 low light performance compared to the Canon R10
Canon R10 Has arrived on the market but
If you are more concerned about the low light performance of the camera then even in 2022, Nikon Z50 is an excellent option for photographers.
If ur having doubts about the AF performance then don’t worry the AF performance of the camera is much improved after the Nikon firmware 2.2 updates. The camera is now able to track animals’ eyes too. The overall AI AF of the camera is also much improved.
Slightly more rich Lens ECO system in Nikon – Right now if we compare the Canon RF mount ECO system vs Nikon Z mount ECO system the Nikon is now a collaboration with Tamron and they have started with 28-75 F2.8. Not only that, Viltrox also has an amazing range of Nikon Primes right now.
Yes, we do have rumors about Viltrox lenses coming for RF Mount too, but if someone is planning to buy Nikon Z50 right now, then its more feasible to buy the Nikon Z50 camera only for photography purposes (Like weddings, street, and Portraits)
Canon R10 For Sports Shooter. Wildlife Photographers
Canon R10 has just arrived with class-leading AF performance., Canon implemented DPAF gen 2 inside Canon R10 & R7 both. According to Canon’s official press release, the AF performance of the recently announced Canon R10 and Canon R7 cameras is similar to Canon EOS R3 camera. Although we never consider it exactly similar neither they can perform so, due to the lack of a Stacked CMOS sensor like we have in the Canon R3.
651 AF Zones inside Canon R10
Yes, we have 651 AF Zones inside the Canon R10 camera which is comprised of more than 2.9k DPAF points. The AF tracking mode has dedicated 3d subject tracking modes in the Canon R10 camera. Whereas our Nikon Z50 is limited to 205 Hybrid AF points.
Overall, we can say that the AF system of the Nikon Z50 after the arrival of firmware F2.2 has become very usable but the Canon R10 AF system is phenomenal and the best in its class.

Canon R10 also features a Joystick controller on the rear side of the camera. A helpful tool for professional photographers is now available in the mid-range cameras.
Canon R10 Fastest in its Class
However, being said, if we talk about the stats of the Canon R10 camera, in continuous shooting mode the camera is able to capture 23 Frames @ elec. shutter and 15 FPS with the help of a mechanical shutter. The Buffer depth is also very usable and ur able to capture up to 70 JPEG files @ 23 FPS and up to 450+ files @ 15fps in a single burst.
Either ur shooting at 23 FPS or 15 FPS, the DPAF system is fully active and tracks moving 3d subjects very well.
Electronic Shutter
Up to 23 fps at 24.2 MP for up to 70 Frames (JPEG) / 21 Frames (Raw) Mechanical Shutter
Up to 15 fps at 24.2 MP for up to 460 Frames (JPEG) / 29 Frames (Raw)
Up to 11 fps at 20.9 MP
Up to 5 fps at 20.9 MP
Up to 4 fps at 20.9 MP
Up to 30 fps at 8 MP
Best Camera to capture Video
Canon R10 is the best camera to capture High-Quality video, let me explain this. When we are comparing Nikon Z50 and Canon R10 then we will consider both the features and the limitations, let’s discuss the both
Both of them create 4k videos via the oversampling method. Although in Canon R10, we get an option to record 4K 24 / 30 fps video in 10bit format, and in Nikon Z50 we are limited to 8bit. None of them allow us to use Log files from them. And finally, with the Canon R10, we also have an option to record 4K 60p video @ 1.56x crop (although it’s not that usable with the crops factor) but yes we are getting, at least an option that is not available in Nikon Z50 camera.
With Canon HDRPQ mode the Canon R10 is able to record 10Bit videos in H.265 codec @ 170Mbps. So, 10bit in any form is very useful if you know the difference between the 10bit and 8bit video files.
No recording limit, Canon has revoked the recording limit of the recently announced cameras, both the Canon R10 and Canon R7 don’t have any recording limit. But, in the Nikon Z50 camera, we do get a recording time limit of 30min.
Perfect for Vloggers with a vari-angle display screen.

Verdict:
For general purpose photography the Nikon Z50 camera is still usable and you can buy that camera if you want to, the added advantage you will have with the Nikon Z50 camera is the 1 stop better low-light performance. The Z50 AF has improved from the time of announcement and now it has become usable to max extent.
Those Who are Hybrid Shooters (Photo Video both), Contest creators aka YouTubers, Sports shooters, and wildlife photographers, we recommend you to get associated with the Canon R10 camera.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web Nikon Z30 Coming soon, the camera is expected to arrive in June 2022. The camera will arrive with the rumored Nikkkor Z 40mm F4.5 Lens. As per Nikon Rumor information Z30 is to be called the successor of Z50 and will feature advanced core specs.
Nikon Mirrorless camera is also expected to arrive with 8K Video capability, and 36-46 MP Sensor Resolution. More details will come soon.
—– End of Rumor ——
TNC Take – As per rumors, we will have an APS-C Mirrorless camera announcement from Nikon. But, at the same time, we are not so sure about the specs of a camera. It’s a high APS-C DX-Format Mirrorless camera OR a Nikon Z30, we need more confirmation over that.
Nikon announced a Major firmware update for the Nikon Z9 camera. The firmware update uplifts the overall core specification of the Nikon Z9 camera to the next level.
They have done a lot of work to make Z9 a perfect cinema camera,
Nikon Z9 becomes the first camera in Nikon to show a waveform monitor
Primary features of firmware version 2.00 for the Z 9
1. Evolution of video features such as RAW video internal recording in 12-bit 8.3K/60p
This version update enables internal recording in two different 12-bit RAW video formats — N-RAW and ProRes RAW HQ*1. The new format, Nikon’s proprietary N-RAW, offers recording with a file size approximately half that of ProRes RAW HQ, providing longer recording time. It supports up to 8.3K/60p and 4.1K/120p when shooting in the FX-based video format. Up to 4.1K/60p can be supported in the FX-based video format with ProRes RAW HQ. A Full-HD mp4 proxy file suitable for transfer and editing is generated at the same time as RAW video file generation in either format. You can record a video on a compact system without an external recording device attached and achieve full-scale editing by taking advantage of rich 12-bit tonal gradation utilizing video editing software*2. Other new features include a variety of useful video functions, such as recording in high-resolution 4K UHD/60p oversampled from 8K.
2. Various features added with consideration given to video recording
With firmware version 2.00 for the Z 9, operability in video recording is also remarkably improved by adding useful features. The red REC frame is displayed on the viewfinder and monitor during recording to indicate recording is in progress, preventing mis-pressing of the rec button. Also, video recording settings, such as frame size and rate or audio, can be confirmed on a single screen with View Video Info. The Waveform Monitor can confirm the brightness levels according to the subject position. In addition, when recording video in M mode, ISO sensitivity can be adjusted in 1/6 steps, enabling finer exposure adjustment while preventing ISO from increasing more than needed.
3. Pre-Release Capture acquires decisive moments more securely than ever before
The version update introduces the Pre-Release Capture for the first time in a full-frame mirrorless camera. This new feature records images for up to a second before the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down during High-Speed Frame Capture+ for still shooting. For instance, you can capture the moment when a baseball bat hits a ball even when pressing the button all the way down after you see the batter hit the ball while half pressing the button. The screen display for High-Speed Frame Capture+ is improved by adding the Release Timing Indicators, so that users can visually recognize the shutter release timing. In addition, version 2.00 allows you to jump to the first frame of each continuously shot sequence during playback. This makes workflow more comfortable for sports or bird photographers who tend to use high-speed continuous shooting.
4. Improved AF performance, including Custom Wide-Area AF with 20 options
The updated firmware newly adds Custom Wide-Area AF, which is similar to the Group-Area AF featuring 17 options that is highly evaluated with the D-SLR camera, Nikon D6. The pattern of AF area arrangement is selectable from 20 options for stills and 12 for videos, realizing the capture of main subjects in a wide range of scenes. Since it also supports subject detection, you can nail the decisive moment with perfect focus on an athlete behind obstacles in hurdling, for example, by setting the AF area to the upper half of the frame. Also, through reassessment of the algorithm, AF stability, tracking performance, and subject detection in low-light situations have been enhanced.
5.Other features
Motion Blend function overlays a series of subject movements during continuous shooting into a single still image in-camera without using editing software.
With the Save Consecutive Frames function, frames in a selected section of footage can be saved as a series of JPEG still images while the playback is paused.
We have already published the list of model Code of Canon’s upcoming Mirrorless cameras, now it’s time for Nikon. Now, take a look at the list of already register Nikon camera model codes at the worldwide wireless certification agency
