Pros

  • Nikon z30 with the 24f1.7 is basically an X100VI.
  • Parent context: First time I’ve heard of the Nikon Z30 😮 Reply: It’s geared towards video as it does not have an EVF, but the display is very bright. Could be why. Anyway, it’s crazy value and insane in low light. Same specs as the z50...
  • Grab a Nikon Z30. On the cheaper side and as good as a Z50/Z Fc
  • Nikon Z30 with the 16-50 kit lens or the 28mm Viltrox.
  • If you want to stick with Nikon, the Z30 is the smallest you'll get

Cons

  • If you're coming from film and you like a viewfinder, ignore those who recommend the Nikon Z30 or the Canon M series. Those don't have an EVF (Electronic Viewfinder), and you'll hate having to frame shots by looking at the screen like it...
  • Other mirrorless options - you might find a Z30 in budget trade off with that is no evf.
  • If any of your criteria was fits in a pocket then ignore all above and get canon R50 or Nikon Z fc. Or Z30
  • It looks flawless. He’s throwing in a lens for $300, just doesn’t have show display. Worth it? What could be the issue?
  • Im interested in Nikon Z30 w/ dx18-140, Canon EOS RP w/ RF24-105, Sony Alpha 6600 w/ 18-135mm, and Panasonic G7 w/ 14-140mm lens.

If you're coming from film and you like a viewfinder, ignore those who recommend the Nikon Z30 or the Canon M series. Those don't have an EVF (Electronic Viewfinder), and you'll hate having to frame shots by looking at the screen like it's a phone.
