Birds with Z30 (without EVF) and Kit Lens (50-250mm)

Very beautiful set of images, Elena! Hate to ask a technical question, but how did you find viewing the rear screen? I have considered something like a Z30 as a "pocket camera" to replace a Sony ZV-1 that I bought a few years ago, as it was difficult to use in bright daylight situations. Wondering if the Z30 was any better, or if I would be looking at more of the same.

Thanks,

Thank you, Ken. I was happy with Z30 screen. I also used it in Africa. It is definitely not easy to use the screen on the sunlight but I was able to do it without problems. Actually, it worked better than I could have imagined ;-)
In general the Nikon screens (camera monitors) are better than those of Sony's as far as I know. You can check reviews in internet. I think, IBIS is also better on Nikon. I bought Z30 for video and used this camera a lot for it.

It makes a great pocket camera, and in the right hands, as you have shown, can produce some incredible images. I am hoping that Nikon imparts some of the EXPEED7 love on this model as well as those that have already been updated. I normally like having an EVF on a camera, but realize that it not really easy if I want something light and small as well. Some cameras can pull this off better than others.

Thanks,
