Newest entry camera for the Z system.
Glancing through the specs looks like the Nikon Z camera for those who don’t care about video much.
The fact that’s simpler it’s attractive to me, but I do wish it was smaller/lighter. You could have kept close to similar ergonomics with a touch smaller body although I guess it’s more of a nitpick. What I don’t understand though is why it’s the same weight; they replaced the alloy with polycarbonate which should be lighter.
On the positive sign people looking for dual cards got their wish.
I think focus will be my biggest question, it’s not using the BSI sensor from Z6 and with probably lower reading speeds might not be as good, Z6 not being the best out there to start with.
Overall, if all else it’s equal, the price will be main difference from a Z6 and I think out there the difference could be as little as 200$, quite close not to make it a slam dunk.
For me, I’m looking at this as a travel/hiking camera, and it does score points on simplicity and dual cameras. As a kit it does take off 100$ from the 24-200 price, but I think it has to have a similar focus to Z6 otherwise the price difference won’t matter (again, for me).
PS. the 24-50 4-6.3 is a mildly interesting lens, mostly based on weight though. A 4-5.6 would have made it cross a psychological point on the attractiveness scale.
