INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
With Nikon introducing a brand new APS-C (DX format) Z series camera into the mix, it begs the question: do you need to buy the more
expensive full-frame Z6 mirrorless camera?Both are designed to be great all-rounders, but that extra real estate for the Z6 image sensor
cameras is the sensor size
The Z6 totes a 24.5 megapixel full-frame (what Nikon calls FX format), while the Z50 has a smaller APS-C (DX format) 20.9 megapixel sensor

the 1040K-dot resolution on the Z50
face all the way forwards, which is great for selfies and for recording vlogs to camera
shooting, while the Z50 sits only slightly behind at 11fps, with both speeds sufficient for shooting sports and action
In fact, you might argue that with the crop sensor, and the longer lens available for it (for now), the Z50 is the best option out of the
already shooting with another camera, you might already have an existing supply of SD cards available to shoot with
That said, with a lower resolution sensor, plus a lower resolution screen and viewfinder, overall power consumption is likely to be lower.As
more from it, typically lasting at least a whole day for the average user.(Image credit: Nikon)Nikon Z50 vs Nikon Z6: Dimensions and
