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).
