Z30

Finds the Z30 convenient without a joystick and its controls more durable than Fuji's.

“the Z30 is actually quite convenient to use and I totally forgot about the joystick.”

Loves the Z30 and shoots daily, but must watch focus modes; the Z50II is a big AF step up.

“I love the Z30 and shoot it daily”

Uses the Z30 with the 24mm f/1.7 for hiking and finds it hard to beat.

“Z30 and the 24mm 1.7DX. Hardly to beat, I use it for hiking.”

Carries the Z30 with a small lens in their running vest on long trail runs.

“for me it's sliding my Z30 + small lens into one of the pouches of my running vest.”

Their Z30 overheated in long-form video, lasting about 25 minutes in 4K.

“The Z30. I tend to do longer form video”

Moved from a D5600 to the Z30 and got a lot out of the controls, features and lens choice.

“I went from a D5600 to a Z30- which most people would consider a sidegrade- and got a ton out of it”

Missed a lot of shots on their Nikon Z30.

“I used to have a Nikon Z30 and its I had a lot of missed shots on it”

Bought a used Z30 for trail runs and travel and finds its image quality excellent.

“I bought a used Z30 for a song specifically to take with me on trail runs, alpine climbs and for travel.”

Their first new mirrorless, the Z30 vlogger kit, frustrated them from the start with a 7.5-hour quoted battery charge time.

“7.5 HOURS to charge ONE battery? Really nikon?”

Loves the Z30: charges in about two hours on a 20W adapter, amazing for photos and vlogs, with good video AF in decent light.

“i love the Z30!! for the battery i would charge it with a 20W Apple wall adapter & the Apple USB C to USB C & charging was about 2 hours.”

Really likes their little Z30 and doesn't recall slow charging.

“I really like my little Z30.”

Replaced a D7000 with the Z30 for something small and light, and it ticked every box apart from the missing EVF.

“I wanted a small and light camera to replace my old d7000 and the z30 checked all the boxes, minus the EVF”

Calls the Z30 an awesome little camera and uses it for video too, in a SmallRig cage.

“I have a Z30 and I use that for video as well.”

A year with the Z30 and its kit lenses, and they are absolutely loving it.

“Absolutely loving it so far”

Owns a Z30 bought for $300 and couldn't be happier.

“The only nikon I have is a Z30, and for $300, I couldn't be happier.”

Likes their Z30 because it's small and easy to use, and they rarely use a viewfinder.

“I don’t use the view finder often which is why I like my Z30 it’s small and easy to use.”

Loves their Z30 for frequent travel.

“I love my Z30 since I travel a lot”

Loves their Z30 but sometimes misses focus without noticing, because there's only the rear screen.

“With the z30 I find myself missing focus sometimes and don’t realize it because of using the rear screen.”

Their first camera was the Z30; a nice camera, but the lack of an EVF made telephoto shots a struggle.

“Nice camera, but no EVF was a horrible mistake for me.”

Their Z30 worked fine for a year, then started draining any battery within about 30 minutes.

“Bought my wife a Z30 worked fine for about a year. Now anytime we go to use it the battery is dead.”

Bought a refurbished Z30 kit; their Z8 takes better photos, but the Z30 is always with them and focuses faster than people say once you learn it.

“My z8 takes a better photo, but the z30 is always with me and it still captures the moments. It focuses way faster than people say but it takes a little work to learn how”

Uses the Z30 as their small camera; it fits in a winter coat pocket even with the 50mm f/1.8 S.

“I have a z30 for my “smaller camera” needs.”
