Nikon Z50 and three new lenses coming this week, here are the expected prices

by 12 Comments

According to some recent reports, we’re only two days away from the official announcement of the Nikon Z50 and two new Z lenses. And it looks like the Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens will join the party, too. The latest reports say they will all be launched together, and we now have the expected prices of the upcoming gear.

The Z50 is an upcoming APS-C mirrorless camera from Nikon, and it will work with the new EN-EL25 battery. As for the lenses we can expect, there will be two APS-C lenses to follow the Z50 camera: Z-Nikkor 16-55mm f/3.5-6.3 and Z-Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3. But as I mentioned, it looks like the previously rumored Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct will be launched at the same time with the new mirrorless camera and lenses.

The previous reports gave us the approximate prices of the Z50 and two accompanying lenses. But now, Nikon Rumors has more detailed prices to share:

  • Nikon Z50 body only: $856.95
  • Nikon Z50 lens kit: $996.95
  • Nikon Z50 double lens kit: $1,346.95
  • Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens: $296.95
  • Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens: $349.95

As for the Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct, I expected that it would be pricey, and it sure will. According to Mirrorless Rumors, it will retail at $7,999.

  • How many mp is the sensor?

    • Chainsaw Charlie

      Enough.

    • Fernando Adrian

      20 i think

  • dracphelan

    The price for the 2 lens kit isn’t bad. But, I would wait for the reviews before buying it.

    • Sensor is very likely going to be same as found in entry level Nikon DSLRs

      • Kaouthia

        Unlikely if they’re planning to compete with the A6300, A6400 and A6500. It’ll need to be capable of 4K video.

        • How is 4k sensor dependent? Oh wow. I just realised I replied to wrong comment, that earlier comment was for someone asking MP count on this camera, that’s what I was replying to.

          • Kaouthia

            Mostly due to the throughput. If the sensor can’t push the data out fast enough, then the camera can’t record it.

            Being able to shoot a few 24-megapixel images per second and store them in the buffer while they get written out to the card is very different to shooting and saving 30 or 60 4K images per second in realtime for a few minutes at a time.

    So it feels like Nikon is recessing back to consumer camera versus a prosumer/professional.

    • Ihor

      Well, fairly recent Z7 was prosumer enough. They needed to fill the gap in the consumer segment of their mirrorless lineup to compete with sony alpha crops.

      • Luis Benitez

        True, which is why I picked up a Z7 and a 24-70 2.8 s. Great studio camera but not for sports and wildlife. I’m also making a direct lined comparison to how Sony is kicking Nikon’s ass with the a9II and the a7III. Hoping I did not pick the wrong pony.

          I have been shooting the Z7 for about 6 months and Ive taken it to photograph birds in flight. I think once you get used to the auto focus and experiment with some different settings you will be very pleased with it. I personally like the Z7 more than the D850 due to some better technology, improved image quality with new S lens architecture, IBIS, no more AF Fine Tuning and a great EVF that allows you to keep your eye to the viewfinder. I think the camera wars are pretty cyclical and I look for Nikon to bust loose with some great lenses and bodies in the future. Take care, Rick
