I ordered for my wife the new Z 28-400mm lens immediately after it was announced and it arrived the day before we took off on our recent Costa Rica vacation. She does not generally try for very challenging shots and does not want to trouble with knowing how to set aperture, shutter speed and ISO. She says it's too technical for her. Before every shoot I set her camera to the most appropriate manual shutter and aperture with auto ISO for the anticipated conditions and I advise her to watch exposure. She does know how to dial in exposure comp when necessary.
When I reviewed her images upon our return I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of shots she made. It seems we finally have a camera and lens combo that she can use all the time and achieve good results. One of our excursions took us to a garden with flowering plants on the edge of a rain forest. We spent a couple of hours there shooting hummingbirds. I set her camera to 1/1000 sec shutter speed, aperture wide open, auto ISO, AFC Wide Small. The Z50 does not have subject detect. I finally got around to edit a few of them this weekend and I'm impressed. I think these are the best quality images she has had probably ever.
