10:42 Sharpness of the kit lenses, the 16-50 mm and the 50-250 mm zoom lenses
I was especially pleased with the Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 DX VR zoom lens. Pretty sharp, and the stabilizer meant a 4 stop improvement.
14:08 High ISO samples / Image stabilization
15:48 Manual focusing
16:33 Exposure latitude / dynamic range
For night photographer like me, it's crucial that the shadows don't get noisy when brightened in post. Luckily the Nikon Z50 carries on Nikon's good reputation.
17:50 Nikon 16-50mm lens under the stars
Kit lenses usually fail under such an extreme optical test as the stars. At 16mm, in the center it's pretty good, but at the corners it's a different issue.
19:00 Video performance / Autofocus in video
So far, Nikon was not the leader of the bunch in video. That is until they released their mirrorless cameras!
The Z50 has EXCELLENT autofocus performance in video mode as well.
Luckily, it stays like that even when shooting 120 fps!
Rolling shutter is not noticeable at 1080p, but it's a bit so-so in 4K (check yourself)
