Nikon’s third mirrorless Z-series camera with a DX (APS-C) sensor has arrived in the guise of the Z 30. It joins the original Nikon Z 50 – launched over two years ago – and the more recent Nikon Z fc, which is essentially the same camera with retro-themed, direct-access controls. The Z 30 feels very much like the same camera again, this time sans-viewfinder to appeal to vloggers, and perhaps a generation brought up on smartphones.
This plucky little Z camera’s target audience and price range places it squarely alongside the Sony ZV-E10 and could be considered a more affordable alternative to the range-topping Sony A6600.
