DX Mirrorless Camera Built Around the EXPEED 7 Processor
Overview
The Nikon Z50II takes the processor from Nikon flagship bodies and puts it in a DX camera. EXPEED 7 is what makes the difference here: subject detection for nine kinds of subject inherited from the Z9 and Z8, 30 fps bursts and 4K video oversampled from 5.6K. This listing is for the body only.
Key features
Flagship processing in a DX body
- EXPEED 7: the same engine as Nikon top bodies, which is what enables the subject detection and the burst rate below.
- Detection of nine subject types: people, dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, trains and aeroplanes.
- Up to 30 fps at full resolution in C30 mode.
Sensor and autofocus
- 20.9 MP DX CMOS sensor, 23.5 x 15.7 mm.
- Hybrid AF with 209 points in single-point mode and 231 in auto-area.
- ISO 100-51200, expandable to the equivalent of ISO 204800.
Video
- 4K UHD oversampled from 5.6K, in 10-bit H.265 with N-Log for grading.
- 4K UHD up to 60p with crop, and Full HD at 120p for 4x slow motion in 10-bit.

What it is good for
- Sport and action: 30 fps and subject detection that holds onto what is moving.
- Wildlife and birding: bird detection plus the reach a DX sensor gives a telephoto lens.
- Video and vlogging: oversampled 4K, N-Log and a screen that faces forward.
- A second body alongside a Z6 or Z8, sharing the same lenses and the same menus.
