It was only released in October 2019 and was a welcome third addition to the Z series of mirrorless cameras, but a lot has changed since the Nikon Z 50 arrived last year. The biggest one is the addition of a fourth member to the growing Nikon mirrorless system in the form of the entry-level Z5 full-framer.

What makes the Z 50 stand apart from the rest of the Nikon brood is its sensor size. Unlike the older Z7 and Z6 snappers – and the new Z5 – which are 35mm full-frame systems, the Z 50 is the brand's only APS-C format mirrorless option – coming in to give the Canon EOS M line a little competition.

Becextech isn't a massive retailer but it does offer some very good prices on consumer electronics, including cameras. While a large part of the stock is grey imports, the retailer does offer Australian warranty. So if you're comfortable with that, then this price is unbeatable! Keep in mind that stocks of many new cameras has been affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and shipping could be delayed.

If you'd rather shop on Amazon, then Becextech is a third-party seller on the giant online marketplace as well. However, the same kit is listed at a higher price here, but it still comes with plenty of savings – AU$400 to be precise. As per the listing, the product isn't going to ship until early in September, so if you can wait, then this isn't a bad bargain at all, especially since delivery is free.

Her passion for photography started when she was wandering the wilds of India studying monkeys (yes, life took a sharp turn somewhere along the way) and is entirely self-taught. That puts her in the unique position of understanding what a beginner or enthusiast is looking for in a camera or lens, and writes to help those like her on their path to developing their skills or finding the best gear. While she experiments with quite a few genres of photography, her main area of interest is nature photography – wildlife, landscapes and macro. She still prefers an optical viewfinder but is utterly fascinated with what mirrorless technology has been able to achieve.
