Description

Move beyond the smartphone camera vibe and take your video quality to the next level. The Nikon Z 30 mirrorless 4K digital camera with a 16-50mm lens is a user-friendly upgrade with a cinematic look and feel, spectacular video quality and features designed for creators, vloggers, influencers, and streamers. TechRadar rated it a Best Camera For Vlogging, calling it “A compact and intuitive tool for novice vloggers.” The Z 30 is the smallest camera in Nikon’s Z series, so it’s easy to use handheld or on a tabletop tripod. It has a flip-out screen with touchscreen control to ensure you’re always in frame, along with a convenient smartphone app that lets you control the camera remotely. The included NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR wide-angle zoom lens has powerful image stabilization to keep your shots steady. Fast, reliable autofocus with several AF Modes can adjust to the quick shifts in detail found in unboxing videos, how-to’s, gaming streams, video tours, and tutorials. Plus, with eye-detection autofocus, the Z 30 can automatically track the eyes and faces of humans, cats or dogs and keep focus right where you want it. If the Z 30 is your entryway into Nikon Z series products, rest assured you can upgrade your lenses or add an external mic along the way to boost the quality of your content. And to help you make that step, Nikon also offers a Creator’s Accessory Kit with tripod, microphone, and remote (sold separately). When you buy from a Nikon Authorized Dealer, you also get the peace of mind of a limited one-year warranty from Nikon Inc.

  • Reliable little camera
Style: Camera Body Only Set: Body Only
I love this little camera. It has great picture quality. I can use any Z mount lens on it full frame (FX) or cropped (DX). With FTZ adapter you can use any F mount lens on it. I got this camera to use mostly for video, YouTube, talking head stuff and events. It has been working great. If you shoot in a flat profile you can apply LUTs to the footage. It's a cropped sensor so it will be a bit noisy in low light. There is no IBIS so I'm kitting mine out like a cine rig. The add weight will help to keep it stable. It's vary lite weight on it's own. Make a good carry around camera. I have not had any autofocus problems for what I use it for. It's a good vlogger camera. It shoots 1080p for 120 mins and 4k for 29mins. You can shoot logger if you get an external recorder. Like an Atomos Ninja V. Then you can shoot for as long as your battery last. The fits well in the hand. Nikon has great ergonomics. ... show more

  • [UPDATED] Affordable step-up from iPhone 14 pro & Sony ZV-E10 - for vlog & streaming
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm + 50-250mm Lens
My interest in camera began with my iPhone 11 few yrs back and upgraded to 14 pro but soon realized its limitations while vlogging as I've to settle for front camera instead of mighty rear camera. Z30 steps-up game significantly with more control on picture quality than a smartphone for video and Elgato facecam for streaming. Invest some time in learning the basics of picture composition (which's same for all camera brands) since it's a one-time investment to unleash full potential of this little Swiss army knife semi-pro camera. Youtube has very good tutorials on basics. Drawbacks and easy fixes: 1) overheating while streaming: 4k overheats regardless of fps. Fortunately, 1080p 50fps is not overheating and can run as long as I need with Elgato 4k camlink. 1080p quality is fantastic ! Not missing 4k due to its crazy recording file sizes filling-up hard-drives quickly 2)no view-finder: don't miss this as a one coming from smartphones generation 3)no audio monitor: same as above. Never needed one while vlogging thru smartphone as I test check my levels before shoot 4) crowded ports covering display: use left-angled micro HDMI and right-angled USB-c cable adapters This cam's lightweight, portability and low price overweighs these and any other limitations. Interestingly it has 11fps which's higher than its pricier full-frame Z5 bro. Mainly using this for video & streaming. UPDATED: after looking at raving reviews on Sony ZV-E10 + sigma 16mm lens, I gave it a try but had to return it back as: 1) Nikon colors are more realistic than Sony right out of cam. Each video needs post-process to get good colors on zv-e10 2) 4k 30p is not cropped on z30 which's great for vlogging. enabling electronic-VR crops a bit on z30 but is still better than zv-e10's always cropped 4k 30p 3) zv-e10 needs catalyst browser to fix vibration issues but z30 comes with decent VR built-in kit lens 4) z30 display got touch screen both for controls and auto-focus while zv-e10 is all buttons. This's great in selfie mode when we can't see back buttons. Latter feature lets me touch any object on screen to begin auto-focus on it. No issues with auto-focus so far. 5) sony+sigma setup feels bulky & heavy to hold for vlogging and bit more desk space for streaming compared to z30 with kit lens. You almost certainly feel need for gimbal with sony. z30 grip rocks ! 6) HDMI and USB-c ports are way too crowded on zv-e10 than z30. If either one of micro-hdmi or usb-c plugs are big, you're out of luck 7) tally light on z30 is killer feature! it even blinks when it gets hot or low-battery 8) nikon menu layout is lot intuitive and easier than sony 9) z30 comes weather sealed unlike zv-e10 11) audio quality on z30 is awesome 12) after all the above, paying $300+ more for outdated zv-e10+sigma lens combo didn't make sense ONLY Con this camera has compared to more recent released mirrorless cams of other brands in this budget is lack of UVC/UAC support to let us connect via USB without needing Elgato camlink and still get Z30's excellent 1080p quality streaming ... show more

  • Amazing pictures
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm Lens
I love everything about this camera except for one thing, I need a Viewfinder, I am just too old school in that regard. The ergonomics of this camera are incredible, I think they made it just for me. The controls buttons and dials just feel very nice, battery life is fine, and the best thing of all is the quality of the photos it can produce, I am impressed. Sharp, beautiful colors. I also like the B&W images. If you can live without a viewfinder, you will love this camera and the lens is super nice as well. ... show more

  • pretty lightweight
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm Lens
Got tired of lugging my Nikon D810 around on vacations. But after trying, my Iphone 15 was just inadequate, missing things like aperture control. So i just bought the Z30 with DX16-50 lens. First thing, this kit COMES with a battery, so you do not need to buy one. Also it can chage thru a USB cable, so you do not need to buy a charger. Also comes with a nikon branded camera carry strap. So far i am liking it. Has a TON of controls, and wifi/bluetooth connectivity. We shall see how it does on the road, but it looks promising. I picked the Z30 over Z50 because the design is four years more recent, and it weight less and has a slightly smaller size. I will miss a viewfinder, but for low weight on a trip, i am willing to sacrifice. Also, the Z30 has an unlimited run time for taking videos. The Z50 apparently overheats at 30 minutes of 4K video. AND the price was right. ... show more

  • As a long-time Nikon shooter, I LOVE this camera.
Style: w/ Lens Set: Body + 16-50mm Lens
I have been using Nikon cameras for more than 40 years. I have always loved the sharpness of the lenses, and the Z lens that I have for my Z30 meet my expectations. The lenses are sharp, the 20MP sensor has incredible fidelity and low-light performance. Image stabilization is very good, and the auto-focus is the best I have used. Importantly to me, these lenses also allow manual focus in those situations when the camera doesn't quite get it right. There are a full range of manual controls, and they are pretty logical, though after two months, I am still figuring out some of them. However, I have that issue with just about every modern, semi-pro camera — too many buttons and dials and options. The learning curve is steep. Nonetheless, I'm getting pictures I really like with this camera, and expect to use it as long as it allows. It feels like a Nikon — sturdy and reliable. If it lasts anywhere near as long as the Nion F i still have tucked away, i will be thrilled. ... show more
