Coming into this thread late. . . I have a Z50 and I think it's a splendid little camera if you are ok shooting DX. It's a bargain. The thing that BUGS me, however, is that a spare battery costs $70 and there are NO third party batteries available.I have a Nikon D500 & Nikon D7500. Is there any reason for me to buy the Z50? I would like to get the Nikon Z series to start using mirrorless but the price on the better models is more than I want to spend right now.
