Nikon Z50 initial review: What`s new, how it compares
(Digital Photography Review)

The Nikon Z50 is a 20MP mirrorless camera: the first time the company has put an (unstabilized) APS-C sensor behind its new, larger `Z` lens mount. The company says the camera is designed to attract a generation of users who don`t consider themselves to be photographers. Alongside the camera, Nikon has announced two lenses designed for this sensor size: a 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 collapsible standard zoom and a 50-250mm F4.5-6.3 telephoto zoom - both with built-in image stabilization (which Nikon calls Vibration Reduction).
