- And... here are 3 more things to know about the z30:
1. USB webcam is great, easy to use, and "charges" the camera as you use it which is great! However... the output resolution is NOT full resolution. - if you want 1080/60p for streaming, you will need to use the Micro-HDMI port.
2. Weather sealed - this is also a big deal for many of us! This is a feature typically reserved for higher end cameras.
3. It may seem obvious, but I missed it. If you are upgrading from an older DSLR, you will likely have to upgrade your SD cards as-well! When I bought my old cards they were top of the line, but in my new z30 they were to slow to record 4k or 120p slow motion! Look for a card that says U3 on it like this one: amzn.to/4a0ELFN

I have shot over 120 videos with the Z30. I reckon it's a great camera!
Hello! I'm Alex. His videos are incredible and I'm loving his channel. I have a Z30 and I'm discovering a lot of things with you. Thank you for your content. Hugs from Brazil.
Hi Alex! Thank you for the kind comment 😊
Amazing
I have the kit lenses 16-50mm and the 50-250mm and they are surprisingly very sharp, under the right circumstances. I use the FTZ II with my Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART, and the Nikon 50mm 1.8 G, and the results are great. I usually shoot FX, except for my D500, but I just can't stop taking the Z30 with me even when I have my other cameras in my bag.
Love it. Thanks for the comment @rinaldodelucca8073!
Do you adjust your optimum exposure for video? I take it down 1/3 EV so it doesn’t over expose.
It depends. EV is really important for using auto exposure settings in a changing lighting environment when you want to shoot fast - eg. vlogging in the snow where a face is likely to be underexposed in-order not to clip the bright white snow. If I'm shooting in manual mode, I don't find it as useful.
Hi, nice video, does this z30 support vertical video?
Not it any special capacity... But that setting is usually set in your video editing software, which is easy to do.
You can film vertically 🙃
Hello! What can you say about the photo quality of this camera?
Nikon knows how to make photography cameras. The z30 is no exception. Honestly, photo quality hasn't changed that much in the SLR world for the last 10-15 years but in little ways. But the z30 takes great photos, and the abundance of hard points makes using it very pleasant and efficient to use. Only draw back is the lack of EVF.
@@DallasJyl Helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi! Is it a problem that it has no viewfinder!?!? …. You told nothing about the quality of the sensor. The batteries are a small problem ….. eject a full one, or connect a powerbank😅…… this tiny/ little/ formfactor camera works great. My opinion!
Hi! I agree, I love this camera!
The EVF is/isn't a problem depending on use case. If your taking photos, than the lack of EVF should be a drawback IMHO. But SLR EVFs are not a nice way to record videos, so no problem for video shooters.
"Sensor quality" is hard to quantify. In my opinion it's a great sensor. It's better than my D7100 sensor, and not *quite* as good as my z6. No surprise!
Have you had success powering from a power bank? I don't have many to test - but mine don't charge the camera at all! But I expect you would just need a higher end one than I have (with a higher power output rating). The camera also might be a bit picky about USB cables?
I have a new baby on the way the last one wife and I are having. I'm just looking for a new camera to take pictures. It's a plus it does great video. It so damn sexy looking I can't find another camera that looks so damn nice with that grip I know it must feel great in the hands..I don't care about the view finder and I always have my bluetti and jackery handy for charging.
Congrats on the baby :) We're still loving it - more and more its our first choice 90% of the time over the z6 or our phone.
Z30 use an external battery through usb-c
Have you had success with this? I tried it but it didn't work with my power bank, but I wonder if maybe a higher end one would work - but I haven't had a chance to try.
Yes get one with usb c output. A regular one with the older usb a to c May not work higher output voltage will work.
