Nikon announced the Nikon Z30 today. A system camera with a 21-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS sensor. It looks a lot like the Nikon Z50, but with a flip-out screen and no electronic viewfinder.

With this camera, Nikon is mainly targeting vloggers, people who make videos for social media channels. So they will mainly be focused on video.

The camera does this quite well (although it does not exactly excel at it either). You can film in 4K at 30 frames per second and at 120 frames per second in Full HD.

Strangely enough, the camera has no image stabilisation. That would naturally be quite useful when filming handheld. There is also no headphone connection for monitoring the sound from the two microphones on top of the camera.

Price and availability

The Z30 will be available as a body for 799 euros. The kit with a 16-50mm DX lens costs 959 euros.

There is also a second kit with the camera, the 16-50mm DX lens and a 50-250mm DX lens. You pay 1,219 euros for that. There will also be a vlogger kit with the 16-50mm, a Bluetooth remote control and a tripod. This set will cost 999 euros.

The Z30 and the various kits will be available from mid-July.
