Product Description
Move beyond the smartphone camera vibe and take your video quality to the next level. The Nikon Z 30 mirrorless 4K digital camera body is a user-friendly upgrade with a cinematic look and feel, spectacular video quality and features designed for creators, influencers, and streamers. TechRadar rated it a Best Camera For Vlogging, calling it “A compact and intuitive tool for novice vloggers.” It is the smallest camera in Nikon’s Z series, so it’s easy to use handheld or on a tabletop tripod, and it is compatible with Nikon's entire line of spectacular NIKKOR Z lenses. It has a flip-out screen with touchscreen control to ensure you’re always in frame, along with a convenient smartphone app that lets you control the camera remotely. Fast, reliable autofocus with several AF Area Modes can adjust to the quick shifts in detail found in unboxing videos, how-to’s, gaming streams, video tours, and tutorials. Plus, with eye-detection autofocus, the Z 30 can automatically track the eyes and faces of humans, cats or dogs and keep focus right where you want it. If the Z 30 is your entryway into Nikon Z series products, rest assured you can upgrade your lenses or add an external mic along the way to boost the quality of your content. To help you make that step, Nikon also offers a Creator’s Accessory Kit for Z 30 with a tripod grip, external microphone and Bluetooth remote control (sold separately). When you buy from a Nikon Authorized Dealer, you also get the peace of mind of a limited one-year warranty from Nikon Inc.

First thing, this kit COMES with a battery, so you do not need to buy one. Also it can chage thru a USB cable, so you do not need to buy a charger. Also comes with a nikon branded camera carry strap.
So far i am liking it. Has a TON of controls, and wifi/bluetooth connectivity. We shall see how it does on the road, but it looks promising. I picked the Z30 over Z50 because the design is four years more recent, and it weight less and has a slightly smaller size. I will miss a viewfinder, but for low weight on a trip, i am willing to sacrifice.
Also, the Z30 has an unlimited run time for taking videos. The Z50 apparently overheats at 30 minutes of 4K video. AND the price was right.
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 quickly
2)no view-finder: don't miss this as a one coming from smartphones generation
3)no audio monitor: same as above. Never needed one while vlogging thru smartphone as I test check my levels before shoot
4) crowded ports covering display: use left-angled micro HDMI and right-angled USB-c cable adapters
This 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-e10
2) 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 30p
3) zv-e10 needs catalyst browser to fix vibration issues but z30 comes with decent VR built-in kit lens
4) 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 luck
7) tally light on z30 is killer feature! it even blinks when it gets hot or low-battery
8) nikon menu layout is lot intuitive and easier than sony
9) z30 comes weather sealed unlike zv-e10
11) audio quality on z30 is awesome
12) after all the above, paying $300+ more for outdated zv-e10+sigma lens combo didn't make sense
The second reason for only 4 stars is that it only allows you to connect to the computer with the cable that came with is. You can't even connect with a high quality usb-c cable. Is there a firmware update that could fix this cable limitation?
Finally: if the camera is on it won't charge the battery while plugged in. It apparently only charges when the camera is off. I could not even plug it into a USB cable and charge while recording, it just shut off the display and said shutter was turned off because the battery was dead. I had to stop recording and let it charge.
It would be nice if you could do 4k at 60 fps. But 1080p is good enough for YouTube.
I like it that the screen folds out to the side that way you can put it in a tripod and still see the screen. Overall I am happy with the video quality and get a good range with the zoom on the included lense.
