The Nikon Z30 has its target users in mind: vloggers, streamers, and content creators. So if you’re in the market to upgrade your pics and vids from a smartphone or action cam, this portable unit is worth considering.
The lightweight (350 grams or .77 pounds) APS-C mirrorless camera is a user-friendly option that removes the guesswork. For example, you can easily set it up to blur backgrounds for streams and video interviews or product review videos; there’s quality auto-focus to capture 20.9 MP photos and 4K video; and there’s an incredibly useful tool that keeps focusing on a subject in frame by tracking the subject’s eyes.
The LED touchscreen folds out to serve as a reference monitor when you’re shooting solo. And if you don’t have a fancy lighting setup, the Z30’s low-light capabilities ensure you won’t look like you’re filming with the lens cap on.
As for cost, it’s priced to move. The Z30 body will cost $709.95. But you can snag one or two lenses for $850 and $1,100, respectively (photos below).
