Nikon Z30 camera was finally announced, the camera features, a 20 MP Sensor and mostly the same core specs we have seen inside the Nikon Z50 camera. So, you can say it’s a Nikon Z50 camera optimized for vlogging and the EVF was removed to save up the production line cost.
the camera is targeted at content creators, everyone knows the content creator market is growing tremendously. If they don’t have product vloggers they will lose a big market share. At the same time it doesn’t mean the camera isn’t fit for photographers, but u know if ye photographers design-wise Nikon Z50 is still more preferable.
So, if ur in vlogging and not able to get ZV-E10 due to a sensor shortage issue, Nikon ZV-E10 ops, sorry Nikon Z30 is the best solution for you.
The Z30 is available body-only for $709.95 or with the collapsible 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 VR lens for $849.95. A two-lens kit that adds the 50-250mm F4.5-6.3 VR takes the price to $1149.95.

Nikon Z30 Press Release
The first step to next-level video content: The Nikon Z 30 is MADE for creators
Whether it’s a Hustle or a Hobby, You and the Nikon Z 30 Will Get it Done
MELVILLE, NY (June 29, 2022) Nikon Inc.’s newest Z 30 mirrorless camera is designed specifically for video content creators, vloggers and streamers. This small, lightweight, feature packed camera applies Nikon’s expertise in all things imaging, giving creators the ability to easily produce the kind of video content that gets noticed.
With the Nikon Z 30, it’s simple to consistently create professional-looking 4K UHD video to get the look you want, with sharp focus, beautiful blurred backgrounds and appealing audio- all on the first take. Swivel front-facing LCD and REC lamp? Got it. Mic input? Better low light performance? Of course. Even though it’s got an affordable price and simple controls, the Z 30 is packed with more advanced features that level up with you, helping to take your content and your channel further.
“A real camera with interchangeable lenses is a big leap in a creator’s personal evolution,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “We want to support creators by taking the guesswork out of how to get the best production value, which helps them to take their creativity further and grow their communities.”
Creator-Centric Features That Make Sense:
Front-facing Vari-Angle touchscreen-LCD lets you see yourself in the scene as you compose your shots, confirm the frame, adjust focus and make sure you are always camera-ready. The bright 3.0-inch high-res screen will also feel familiar with the ability to swipe, pinch and zoom through playback and menus, while it also tilts to easily frame unique angles from below the hip or from above.
The Nikon Z 30 and NIKKOR Z lenses help you create soft, blurred backgrounds that are a hallmark of higher quality content. The main subject remains sharp, in order to draw your viewer’s attention toward you or anything you want them to see, whether it’s a face or prominent product shot.
Reliably fast and sharp autofocus keeps you in focus, precisely following as you move around the scene, with the added benefit of Eye Detection AF.
REC lamp acts as a tally light, illuminating on the front of the camera to confirm recording and peace of mind.
Higher quality audio enhances your content thanks to a built-in stereo microphone, plus an additional input for using a more powerful external stereo or directional microphone.
Get it all in one take with more than two hours (125 minutes1) of recording time, which is ideal for longer videos such as an extensive DIY.
Superior low light performance gives you the freedom to shoot indoors, when it’s cloudy or at night, for clear and sharp video, with minimal noise and fast focus. Even in low light, the full-time focus will continuously track you while walking with the screen in self-portrait mode. The ISO range goes up to 25600 for video and 51200 for photos, enabling sharp rendering of details and textures in lower light.
Sharp video quality at up to 4K 30P UHD with plenty of room to punch in, or Full HD up to 120P to easily create dramatic slow-motion. What you see is what you get, as the Z 30 captures 4K with no additional crop so you don’t lose any of your frame.
Get the look you want with the Picture Control Auto function, which adjusts the video settings according to the scene. There are also 20 different types of Creative Picture Controls to add creative flair to video, and eliminate the need for extra color grading.
Using Nikon’s precise color profiling, scenes and skin tones are reproduced naturally and accurately straight out of camera, with a genuinely inviting vibe that’s never cold or clinical.
Record on widely available SD cards, which come in a variety of large sizes.
Keep the camera running using an external USB-C power source, a great feature that can eliminate the need to swap batteries during a shoot. The camera also works with Nikon’s free Webcam Utility streaming software to integrate for streaming or web conferences.
Minimalist, lightweight design that is easy to carry and vlog with. This is the smallest and lightest Z series mirrorless camera ever made. The form factor and weight is made for content creation, vlogging and streaming. It’s balanced and comfortable to hold for long periods of time and small enough to pack. Simple dials give you complete control of settings like aperture and shutter speed for a desired effect.
Always connected to your phone (iOS or Android)2 for easy automatic transfer of images using the free Nikon SnapBridge App. If your workflow is editing and posting from your phone, you can also connect to wirelessly send videos from the Z 30 to your device. Using the app, you can also use your phone as a remote control to start and stop your recording, when you are in front of the camera.
Superb Still-Camera Features
Create better thumbnails and cross-promote posts for your other channels that drive to your video content using the Z 30. The 20 megapixel APS-C /DX-format CMOS sensor captures super-sharp and high-res still images, in any kind of light. Whether you’re shooting a once in a lifetime landscape shot, a cooking close up , the Milky Way at midnight or a gorgeous portrait, users have the option to use fully automatic modes or get creative with advanced settings. The Z 30 is also incredibly fast, with the ability to capture people and pets at up to 11 fps3. What’s more, if you love what you’re seeing in the LCD, you can even snap a selfie while recording video.
Creativity Has No Limits with NIKKOR Z Lenses
The Z 30 is an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera that opens up an exciting world of possibilities with a wide array of NIKKOR Z lenses, from super–wide lenses for interiors, small spaces and landscapes, incredibly close macro for tiny details on products, or far away action with a telephoto lens.

Announcement July 2022

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.
