Nikon Z30 APS-C Mirrorless Camera (2022)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Nikon Z30 is an affordable mirrorless camera in the Nikon Z-mount system. Introduced by Nikon in 2022, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 21 MP (5568 x 3712) resolution.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. The 11.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting. Unfortunately, Nikon has overlooked APS-C lens development on the Z-mount, partly because its physical dimensions make APS-C cameras less attractive.
The Nikon Z30 comes with a fully articulated touch display and 209 autofocus points.
