Melville, NY—The Nikon Z50II is a compact, full-featured mirrorless camera built to unleash creativity for both photo and video capture. Nikon bills it as a “lifestyle accessory for those that seek innovative creative features like film-inspired looks and easy sharing.” The camera features a 20.9-megapixel sensor.
Whether shooting portraits, landscapes, a night out or vacation memories, this is Nikon’s first APS-C/DX-format camera to use the Expeed 7 processing engine found in the pro-grade Z8 and Z9. It’s also the first Nikon ILC to have a dedicated picture control button. In one press, you see in real-time the effects of 31 built-in color presets.
