Hands On with the New NIKON Z 50ii | The Best Nikon Vlogging Camera?

It's here! Nikon just announced their new Nikon Z 50ii and here's my hands on impressions of the new camera aimed at vlogging, live-streamers and content creators. Please note that I only have a couple of hours with the new camera while being escorted by Nikon personnel, so this is more of a brief preview than a full review.

NIKON Z 50II Sample Images

Here’s some of the sample images as seen in the video. These are taken with a pre-production unit of the Nikon Z 50ii, which could have some differences from the released product. As mentioned, these were all taken within the short couple of hours I was allowed with the camera.
