I so agree with you. It is a heck of a camera with great features. My only challenge is that rear screen almost becomes invisible, outside against the South Florida sun.
@@My_Photography_Journey Thankfully the Z30 is not my only option. I've been shooting Nikons my entire life and started switching to the Z system when released. I like them a lot!
I have the z30 and it makes very good videos with the kit lens. The same with the photos. And if you have the Ftz there are some very good FF lenses like the 50 1.8 and the 85 1.8. Now some viltrox apcs 1.2 have come out with tremendous clarity
Steven, i have the z50 and all the new Nikon z dx lenses and several ff z lenses. I bought the z30 hoping it’d serve as an even smaller edc and back up camera. But like others report, in bright daylight, even with the LCD turned up to maximum brightness, i just couldn’t see the image to compose on it. Have found any tricks for dealing with this? I sent it back but i still wish i could make it work.
Hey, I'm afraid I don't really have a solution. I seem to have been lucky so far and where I've been to take pictures has been ok in terms of the light. I wonder if part of it is me not tending to go out in the middle of the day and preferring woodland photography a lot of the time. Sorry I can't help...hopefully someone else will have an idea
I have a z30 and have noticed that pictures look different in playback vs when looking at the live view, have you noticed that? Pictures seem normal when I see them later on my computer screen but in playback the colours are weird, like shifted toward magenta. Is yours the same?
Hmm, that's an odd one. I've not had that problem myself, I was going to suggest that it could be the 'Apply settings to live view' (custom settings d6) but if they look how're your expecting when on the computer that seems unlikely. There's also a monitor colour balance option in the Setup Menu that may be the culprit, let me know if you find anything like that
I so agree with you.

I'm just coming in to my first summer with this one, so I'm hoping that here in the UK it's not quite so bad, such a shame when it's your only option

Love your commentary on the z30
Thank you!!
Sounds good 👍
Z30 is my favorite travel camera
Agreed, so easy to carry around

I've been thinking about getting an FTZ actually, would be interesting exploring some of those lenses

@@My_Photography_Journey No worries. Appreciate your reply.
