Love this camera!
I am thoroughly enjoying this camera. I bought it for a trip to Oregon and I am so happy I did! This camera takes great, crisp photos. It has great color and the different lens allows for different views, close up and far away. I mainly used the larger lens for the landscape pictures and I use the smaller lens for portrait and family photos. It wasn’t too heavy to carry around my neck. The only issue I have is with the battery charging capability. For some reason, it takes FOREVER to charge the battery using the USB option. I ended up purchasing another battery and standalone battery charger for this. I had taken it with me to Arizona, forgetting the other battery, but remembering the USB. Somehow, the battery was completely drained (despite the camera being off for the trip). I plugged the phone in with the USB and even after 5 hours, there was ZERO charge on the battery. I ended up having to use my phone for the whole trip. So, if you get this camera, I do suggest purchasing an extra battery/battery charger.I haven’t really tested all the other functions as I had just received the camera but after reading the instruction manual and watching a youtube, I see that it has many different functions that can enhance pictures and that is another thing I love about this camera. I am very happy with this purchase!

Premium camera with a fair price! Love it
The Nikon Z30 has been an incredible addition to my setup. The image quality is sharp, crisp, and vibrant, with colors that pop without feeling over-processed. The camera feels solid in the hands but is still lightweight enough to carry around all day without fatigue.What I love most is how easy it is to use — the controls are intuitive, the autofocus is lightning fast, and low-light performance is way better than I expected at this price point. I’ve used it for streaming, photography, and video, and it handles all three flawlessly.For anyone who wants a reliable, high-quality camera without breaking the bank, the Z30 is a fantastic choice. It’s exceeded my expectations in every way.

[UPDATED] Affordable step-up from iPhone 14 pro & Sony ZV-E10 – for vlog & streaming
My interest in camera began with my iPhone 11 few yrs back and upgraded to 14 pro but soon realized its limitations while vlogging as I’ve to settle for front camera instead of mighty rear camera. Z30 steps-up game significantly with more control on picture quality than a smartphone for video and Elgato facecam for streaming. Invest some time in learning the basics of picture composition (which’s same for all camera brands) since it’s a one-time investment to unleash full potential of this little Swiss army knife semi-pro camera. Youtube has very good tutorials on basics.Drawbacks and easy fixes:1) overheating while streaming: 4k overheats regardless of fps. Fortunately, 1080p 50fps is not overheating and can run as long as I need with Elgato 4k camlink. 1080p quality is fantastic ! Not missing 4k due to its crazy recording file sizes filling-up hard-drives quickly2)no view-finder: don’t miss this as a one coming from smartphones generation3)no audio monitor: same as above. Never needed one while vlogging thru smartphone as I test check my levels before shoot4) crowded ports covering display: use left-angled micro HDMI and right-angled USB-c cable adaptersThis cam’s lightweight, portability and low price overweighs these and any other limitations. Interestingly it has 11fps which’s higher than its pricier full-frame Z5 bro. Mainly using this for video & streaming.UPDATED: after looking at raving reviews on Sony ZV-E10 + sigma 16mm lens, I gave it a try but had to return it back as:1) Nikon colors are more realistic than Sony right out of cam. Each video needs post-process to get good colors on zv-e102) 4k 30p is not cropped on z30 which’s great for vlogging. enabling electronic-VR crops a bit on z30 but is still better than zv-e10’s always cropped 4k 30p3) zv-e10 needs catalyst browser to fix vibration issues but z30 comes with decent VR built-in kit lens4) z30 display got touch screen both for controls and auto-focus while zv-e10 is all buttons. This’s great in selfie mode when we can’t see back buttons. Latter feature lets me touch any object on screen to begin auto-focus on it. No issues with auto-focus so far.5) sony+sigma setup feels bulky & heavy to hold for vlogging and bit more desk space for streaming compared to z30 with kit lens. You almost certainly feel need for gimbal with sony. z30 grip rocks !6) HDMI and USB-c ports are way too crowded on zv-e10 than z30. If either one of micro-hdmi or usb-c plugs are big, you’re out of luck7) tally light on z30 is killer feature! it even blinks when it gets hot or low-battery8) nikon menu layout is lot intuitive and easier than sony9) z30 comes weather sealed unlike zv-e1011) audio quality on z30 is awesome12) after all the above, paying $300+ more for outdated zv-e10+sigma lens combo didn’t make senseONLY Con this camera has compared to more recent released mirrorless cams of other brands in this budget is lack of UVC/UAC support to let us connect via USB without needing Elgato camlink and still get Z30’s excellent 1080p quality streaming

Great Product
The product arrived on time and in good condition. The camera itself is easy to use. It is user-friendly and the settings are easy to navigate. The included lens is sharp and video quality is amazing. I bought this camera to take videos when hiking and I’m amazed by how well it performed. Strong stabilization, clear frames, ease of use, compact form factor, and smooth adjustment screen. Coming from a DSLR, it did take a bit of time to get used to having no view finder. But once I did, it was easier to use than the view finder. The screen adjust to exposure settings, so what you’re seeing screen is the photo you’re taking. Overall great product.

Footage looks dated in the worst possible way
The video is terrible quality. It is dark and dull. The image is always underexposed and it puts weird shadows in random spots of the image. The exposure changes so much in a single shot that the footage is almost unusable it goes from light to dark so drastically that its like someone turned the lights out even in full daylight because the second the autofocus looses your eyes it just goes dark. I am constantly fighting the icky warm green color that it puts in every shot i get and the weird shadows in premiere without any real success. Everything leans a gross warm color and just so dark and almost hazed over, the footage looks dated in the worst way possible. This camera was a total waste of money. No matter how i change the settings this camera cannot get it right. Iphone does way better.

Muy buena opcion de camara a un costo razonable, mi principal motivo fue para grabar en 4k, sin embargo hay muchas camaras que no estan diseñadas para larga duracion. En 4k se calienta a los 20 o 25 minutos por lo que se activa el sistema de proteccion de sobrecalientamiento y se apaga. Si buscas grabar por periodos cortos o fotografia los 2 lentes que trae son muy versatiles para diferentes escenariosSin embargo, la calidad de fotos, velocidad y su nitidez de imagen es excelente

Ya la he usado para video de mi canal de Youtube y la calidad me ha dejado impresionado. Muy superior a lo que obtenía con el celular.mi canal es Destinations Travel (La D con el avioncito). Los videos de Cozumel son con ésta cámara y ahí podrán notar la calidad en 4K 30fps.Muy contento con la compra
