Nikon has just launched Z50 - an APS-C size DX format mirrorless camera which is priced similarly as the popular Sony A6400 camera. They both are priced at $999 with 16-50mm kit lens ( Pre-order Link here ) as of this writing. Check out the Specs comparison below.
Sensor : Sony A6400 has a 24.2MP sensor while Nikon Z50 features a 20.9MP sensor. Both are APS-C size sensors and should give good image quality, noise less images up to ISO 1600.
Lens Mount : A6400 has an E Mount while Z50 has a Z mount. Since Sony's mount has been there for years, there are plenty of native lenses to choose from comparing to the fairly new Z mount. Nikon has launched two new lenses along with the Z50 - Nikkor 16-50mm and 50-250mm.
Battery : Nikon Z50 ( EN-EL25 ) has a CIPA rating of 320 shots while CIPA of Sony Alpha A6400 is 410 shots. In real world scenarios, you can get much more than these ratings though.
Vlogging Setup : Sony A6400 can be tilted up 180 degree while Z50 can be titled down 180 degree. Both these cameras have a mic input port but do not have a headphone jack to monitor audio.
Video Recording : A6400 can record 4K @ 24fps without any Crop while the 4K @ 30fps on the Nikon Z50 has a 1.5 crop. 4K @ 30fps on A6400 has a 1.2 crop as well. Both can shoot 1080P @ 120fps. A6400 doesn't have a movie recording limit while Z50 stop at 29min 59s. Sony supports Slog 2,3 and HLG profiles while Z50 doesn't support any log profiles - it has a Flat profile though.
