  • KOSTIANTYN

    I correctly understood that it does not have a built-in flash? Since when does an entry level/amateur camera go without a flash? This is complete crap. Do they seriously think that people will take an external flash on a vacation / walk camera and wear it for three years in order to take a picture? It is on a walk with a child or on vacation that I very often use the built-in flash.

    • B. R. P.

      It's a business)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      if you take the UPC, then also with the NEX-3, which is more than 10 years old

    • Sergei

      They think that this camera will mainly shoot visible. That is why there is a stereo microphone and 4K video.

      The Sony ZV-E10 doesn't have a flash either.

    • Victor

      I've never used a built-in flash on DSLRs (although there is a built-in flash there) over the past 10 years. For pictures with a built-in flash, as you rightly noted, often sucks.

      • Ivan

        Everyone has their own scenarios.
        I use the built-in flash on the D800, on M 1/128, to fire external flashes. External flashes are also in M ​​mode. Therefore, I also do not understand the desire of manufacturers to save $ 20-30 on a built-in flash.

        • Victor

          I think people use synchronizers more often.

          Even those with built-in flash.

          • Ivan

            The synchronizer system is good in everything, except that, in addition to the transmitter, you also need a receiver. This is an additional $ and there is a light trap in any Chinese flash.
            I don’t make money on photos, but from time to time using a couple of flashes and running the built-in one is the minimum, without xTTL automatics (in manual mode) and without additional investments.

    • copenhagen72

      Lolsh, flash? A mean (sprinkled) tear rolled down the DX lens ... In 2022, high working ISOs allow you to shoot without a flash.

      • Dmitry Kostin

        High working ISOs on crop?

      • Dmitry

        Since 2010, working ISO has grown by only 1-1.5 stops. Therefore, we cannot do without a flash yet.

    • Dmitriy

      So hang an SB-400 on it. Makes the perfect kit

    • Bro

      "Did I understand correctly that it doesn't have a built-in flash? Since when does an entry-level/enthusiast camera come without a flash? This is complete crap."

      Without flash and without viewfinder – this is a significantly more COMPACT camera.

    • Dmitry

      This camera is specially designed for video bloggers. It will stand on a tripod and shoot in 4K a talking head illuminated by LED softboxes.

  • Nicholas

    We are waiting for z70 ​​- z50 in the case from Z6

  • Sergei

    Dear Nikon, this camera should have been released back in 2020.

    • Victor

      In 2010, to be exact.

      • Sergei

        Well, there had to be a prophet.

        The idea is that the rumors about the imminent release of the Z30 with the exact indication of the characteristics went back in December 2019, almost immediately after the release of the Z50. Why the cat was pulled, it is not clear.

        • Victor

          In any case, now we need to move two VERY powerful players in this market.

          Which is probably not easy.

  • Andrei

    The video part is clearly a priority here. Could make an optional evi attached for example to a shoe.

    • Bro

      “They could make an optional EV that could be attached to a shoe, for example.”

      Such an accessory is expensive, as we see in other models. Which does not fit well with the concept of a budget camera.

      But on the other hand, what's stopping you from hooking up any cheap Chinese viewfinder that's used with video cameras? Connects via HDMI

  • Ivan_Io

    They just took, cut off the flash and viewfinder from the Z50, well, maybe the price is a little bit ($50) and more - NOTHING. Here's a cool new video photo for you. You say: “VERY powerful players in this market”? Oh well…

    • B. R. P.

      The power of the player, in this case, the ability to make super profits. By any means.

  • Dmitriy

    By the way, a very nice camera. I recently bought myself for a video (you need to shoot videos for 90 minutes). My main camera is d750. And you know what? I really liked the z30. For video, it's almost perfect. Yes, and for a photo - very good. Of course, the first week you bring it to your nose every now and then. But there is no viewfinder))) But otherwise, it's excellent. The whale lens is amazingly sharp. The engineers also worked on the noise. Ergonomics are excellent, as far as it is possible for such a small camera. Autofocus is top, it only starts to get dull at ISO 25000. By the way, the SB-400 on this camera becomes generally perfect, as if it was made for this camera. If Nikon had made a removable video finder in a hot shoe for this camera, that would have been a shot in the head of competitors.
