Chronology
PredecessorNikon Z50

The Nikon Z50II is an APS-C mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (1.5x APS crop) announced by Nikon on November 7, 2024. It is the successor to the Nikon Z50 released in 2019.

Features

Image sensor

The Z50II features an effective 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor. It is a DX (i.e., crop-sensor) format.

Image processor

The Z50II uses the EXPEED 7 image processor, which is also used in the Nikon Z6III, Zf, Z8, and Z9. This is an improvement over the EXPEED 6, which was used in the original Z50.

Lenses

The Z50II uses the Nikon Z-mount.

Video capability

For videographers, the Z50II supports 6K video recording at 60 frames per second. Additionally, it offers 4K recording at 120 frames per second and Full HD at 240 frames per second. The camera includes features such as focus peaking, zebra patterns, and customizable picture profiles to aid in achieving professional-grade video quality. A REC lamp has also been added to aid in video recording, showing both the subject and the videographer that recording is occurring.

It is the first Nikon Z camera with the "Product review" autofocus setting, which when enabled, prioritizes subjects in the foreground in the selected frame area, even if, for example, the main autofocus mode is set to face detection.

Autofocus and subject detection

The Z50II's autofocus system is highly effective in recognizing and focusing on a variety of subjects, including faces, animals, birds, vehicles, and moving objects. The eye-detection AF ensures sharp focus on human eyes, which is particularly beneficial for portrait photography. The autofocus is a hybrid phase-detection/contrast AF with AF assist.

Connectivity and smart features

The Z50II is equipped with advanced connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, facilitating seamless integration with smart devices. This allows for remote camera control and instant sharing of images over a smartphone. The camera also supports USB-C for faster data transfer and charging. Integration with Nikon's Imaging Cloud further enhances workflow efficiency by enabling easy image transfer, storage, and sharing.

New Picture Control feature

The Z50II has a picture control button added, allowing for more creative shooting. The Flexible Color Picture Control feature allows users to create Picture Control profiles with HSL and color grading along with tweak-able Picture Control settings. The Flexible Color Picture Control, or normal Picture Control, can now be made through Nikon's NX Studio software instead of its Picture Control Utility 2.

Flash

The Z50II has a pop-up flash, with a guide number of approximately 7/22.

Monitor

The Z50II has a fully articulating, 1K dot touch sensitive rear LCD.

Recording media

The Z50II has a single SD card slot, supporting SD, SDHC (UHS-II compliant), and SDXC (UHS-II compliant).

Languages

The camera which is sold in the US has direct support of multiple languages. The version of the camera sold in Japan only has a Japanese display, although other language displays can be added for a fee.
