The compact, powerful, and user-friendly Nikon Z 30 mirrorless camera is designed for those who want to go beyond the results of a smartphone and create better-looking and better-sounding vlogs, as well as stunning detailed photos. From 4K UHD videos (30p) to time-lapse films and smooth slow-motion in Full HD (120p), the Z 30 utilizes the full width of its large sensor to provide approximately 100% field of view. Framing yourself and your subject is incredibly easy.
Tell your stories your way with this vlog-ready kit featuring a zoom lens. It includes the Z 30 mirrorless camera and the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens. This particularly compact lens offers a zoom range that is perfect for everything from first-person vlogging to interviews. When recording with an external microphone, the lens's nearly silent autofocus ensures that no distracting focusing noises occur.
