Nikon Z50 vs Panasonic Lumix GH5

Also a concern to photo hobbyists, there just aren't as many Z lenses available today, and only a handful are purpose-built for the DX sensor format. The company's development roadmap is focused on full-frame lenses, and while telezooms are going to be big regardless, there are no announced plans for a vast range of compact lenses made specifically for the smaller sensor format, like you get with Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, and Sony E mirrorless systems.

Now there are some poor lenses too, but if you are willing to pay a little more I have found all of the Panny/Leica and Olympus Zuiko lenses to be very, very good.

The Nikon Z50 also seems like a good option for the price. For filming videos, budget for an external microphone as well.

But for us, where does this fit in the video camera world? And i mean the only real drawback to it. I can see is if you need good, continuous autofocu...

How does my 7 year old camera hold more power is beyond me. But the very very worst feature of this camera is annoyingly idiotic flip screen. If you are like me, I love to leave my tripod attachment screwed in on the bottom of the camera to easily click in and out of my tripod. Well this camera decided to put the screen flip to the bottom making me take on and off this attachment and making things a hassle something that all other manufacturers took into account as their screen flips on ways that do get on the way

This camera is a powerhouse for the price. Full disclosure, my first camera was a Panasonic SD camcorder back in 2005, then switched to a Canon Pro camcorder in 2009, then jumped on the Panasonic train again with the GH3 and was using them until I picked up the GH5. The image is amazing, but that's not news. What is news - and hopefully will not be overlooked - is how much this camera is amazing to use

Have owned multiple Nikons over past decades, went mirrorless with the Z6, but like the Z50 just as much. Very compact and fits in a coat pocket with the DX lens. Great for travel, picture quality is first rate.

This is an amazing little package that can give cameras 4 times more expensive a run for their money. The Lumix DC-GH5 is blurring the lines between prosumer and professional with features like 4k at 60p, 10-bit 4:2:2 recorded internally, plus many more. Future firmware updates will blur those lines even further with a 400Mbp/s bit rate codec! This is an exciting camera that will give you stunning photos and videos (admittedly more on the video side). A must own for the aspiring photographer/filmmaker on a budget
