Now available in stores is Nikon’s first vlogging system camera, the Z30 from the mirrorless Z series. For vloggers, the camera is particularly interesting because it goes far beyond the results achievable with a smartphone and “creates better-looking and better-sounding vlogs.” Nikon states the EVP for the camera body at 799 Euros. Currently available on the market is the set with the DX 16-50mm lens for around 950 Euros.
Nikon advertises the features of the Z30 with the following features relevant to the vlogger:
