The Z50 is an upper entry-level APS-C mirrorless camera (1.5x APS crop) announced by Nikon on October 10, 2019. It is Nikon's first Z-mount crop sensor camera body. With its introduction, Nikon also announced two crop-sensor Z-mount lenses, the Nikkor Z DX 16-50 mm f/3.5–6.3 VR and the Nikkor Z DX 50-250 mm f/4.5–6.3 VR. It is the third Z-mount camera body after the Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z6. The camera yields a 20-megapixel still image and 4K video (up to 30 fps and 30 minutes time limit per clip), however it does not have In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) nor does it include built-in sensor cleaning. It is the only Nikon Z camera body that does not have USB-C charging.
