The Nikon Z30 is a great camera for those who are looking to upgrade to a mirrorless camera without jumping up to a full frame. It takes great shots, works well at indoor sporting events (with the right settings), and the zoom lens can get close enough to the moon that you can take decent moon photos as well. All of the photos and the video are unedited and straight out of the camera using the Snapbridge Nikon app.
borrows all of its major components from the Z50 and Z fc, both very good cameras that can produce excellent photos. The biggest difference between this camera and all other Z cameras is that the Z30 does not have an electronic viewfinder, or any viewfinder, so photos or videos must be taken from the rear screen. The flippy screen on the Z30 also opens to the side and can be rotated 180 degrees, a big positive for vloggers and video content creators. The Z30, like the Z50, can record 4k video up to 30p, but the Z50 and Z fc has a 30-minute video or clip limitation, while the Z30 is capable of recording up to 125 minutes of full HD 24p/25p video, depending on battery life, memory card limits, and the body’s internal temperature. The Z30, like most Nikon cameras, has very good ergonomics, with a deep grip. All of the buttons on the back of the camera are reachable with one hand, and the camera as two Function buttons, a nice touch for an entry level camera. It feels well-built and substantial.
Taking photos with the Z30 is a bit more challenging for people who are used to or grew up using cameras with a viewfinder. The kit lenses are light, which helps, but in situations where careful composition is required, a camera with a traditional viewfinder would be more preferable. The rear screen, with 1,040,000 dots, does a pretty good job, even in full sunlight, but it is easier to see the details of a scene with a viewfinder.
The Z30 has Nikon’s latest autofocus features, found in Nikon’s latest full frame mirrorless cameras, and the human and dog (or cat) eye detection feature works well. Additionally, the AF-F autofocus choice, for video, works quickly and holds focus. The Nikon Z30 is aimed at smartphone users looking to move up to a camera that can provide higher quality video and photos, and vloggers and videographers looking for an entry-level option. Additionally, the camera, with its small 16mm-50mm lens, or with the Z 28mm prime lens, is unobtrusive, and is a great option for street photography. Finally, combined with its two kit lenses, the Z30 makes for a very small, light, and affordable travel kit.
I really like how this model has taken some professional type features and made them easy to use for the non-professional. This camera has done a phenomenal job of making a camera that’s capable of taking pictures as good as much more expensive cameras, while giving you the ability to automate some of the fine tuning a pro would do. This allows everyone to produce professional like pictures, worthy of displaying.
This camera is packed with so many available features you could spend hours learning all the things it can do to help you take better pictures, but simple enough that you can go to the auto mode and let the camera figure it out for you. Also, the technology has gotten to a good enough level that it does a good job of deciding what to do to make it a great picture most of the time.
It’s simple out of the box, you can start taking pictures in minutes and learn more later. It comes with a great starter package that might be enough for most non-pros. Even though it sounds expensive to some people, it’s a great deal when comparing the quality and features to its competition. And how can you put a price on capturing your family, friends and the world around you in amazing color, clarity and detail?
I’m professional videographer and I normally don’t go for these prosumer cameras, but when this came out, I couldn’t resist getting one to have a small light weight camera to add to my kit. The feel and weight of this camera is reminiscent of 35mm film camera. The body is nice and light weight while still feeling solid and has a nice texture to grip onto. The lenses are lightweight too and made out of plastic, so they don’t feel quite as sturdy as ones with all metal construction, but the build keeps the weight down and makes it easy to carry around in your bag for quick outings.
While being easy to pick up and start shooting with, the camera does include all the different features of a professional camera, so depending on your skill level this is a great bridge between shooting stuff on your iphone and beginning to want to havw more control over your image. I like how the screen is able to flip around so if I am vlogging, I’m able to see myself. The onboard mics are decent, but I would still recommend investing in a little wireless lav set up if you’re going to be doing a lot of direct to camera stuff. The one thing that I don’t like about this kit is it doesn’t include an external battery charger which is a very big thing for me, because I hate having my camera tied up while it is charging batteries. This, unfortunately, is the only option with the kit as you need to plug the camera in via USB-C to charge the battery inside the camera.
