Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Even if you ignore the video stuff, the z50ii is just better than the z50 (which, to be clear, was and still is a fantastic camera).
  • I've got a nikon z50 as a beginner camera, it's small nit too heavy and I'm loving it.
  • Dimension-wise, I think you might want to consider the Nikon Z50. It's a tad smaller than the X-T5.
  • I would recommend the Nikon Z50. On MPB, you can find them around $400 in good condition... Personal experience: I enjoyed learning the Z50, it was fun to shoot during events for my school.
  • If you're open to mirrorless, the Nikon Z50 is a great option, though it might stretch your budget a bit.

Cons

  • The Nikon Z50 part costs about 45€ since it contains a clip, chips, diodes and resistors surface mounted straight onto the flex cable. Harder to manufacture and likely a salvaged part.
  • But if the rear display is actually broken that would be a hard pass for me - too much money and hassle to get it fixed.
  • Nikon Z50 or Z50 II
  • --Nikon Z50 or Z50 II

And you can get a used Z50 for like $500 (what I paid 2 years ago) which is a very good modern apsc camera for that price.

Otherwise the Z50 not bad at all, maybe a little more comfy that the A6300, but I personally would stick with the Sony.

You could probably get a z50 fairly cheap on KEH or MPB especially since the z50ii came out.
