I like how it says free 2-day delivery for orders over $399 and so for this they charge $398.97!

Looks like a good deal. Does this lens have stabilization for video? And would this be a good buy for a novice looking to upgrade over iPhone pictures especially for nighttime shots

Quote from Seed-Slay-Slick :
According to photons to photos, this has similar DR with D5300 till second native iso(iso400). Sony since d6600 has 0.5ev better DR than this. The Z30 also takes 8bit video, not 10bit on zve10ii. Open box D6600 and zve10ii are 2 times the price of this though.
That said, Z8 as a full frame pro camera has similar DR to this above iso 100.

I don't follow? Can you break it down clearly. Is it worth getting or something else for less that's similar? That's what I taking from this

No viewfinder and no flash, just FYI. Kit lens is sharp but slow. So, don't expect much in dim/dark situations, and not much bokeh - if you care. Could pickup Viltrox 23mm or 33mm f/1.4 if you want a relatively inexpensive fast prime.

I can either research when I have time, which I don't right now, or ask, if someone knows.
I have had a Sony a5100 for several years. (Numbers of these might be off a little, been a while since I paid attention) Have the kit 16-50, 55-210, Sony 50mm prime, and Sigma 30mm. I need a battery, not expensive.
Is this or something close "better". Wouldn't mind a video upgrade. Any adapters for my lenses to fit? Thanks.

Honestly, plug what you have and what you're considering into chatgpt, noting your main use cases (photo / video, subject of choice).

Hello, everyone!

I know virtually nothing about cameras and camera bodies, even though I have an eBay alert constantly notifying me about lenses for a camera -- my partner's, as they're the camera person, and I try to be the gift buyer, hahaha!

They have had and loved a Nikon D5600 for years now.

Some quick Googling tells me this would be an upgrade in various ways but it seems... It would be incompatible with all of their gear (mounts, lenses) and it has a lower megapixel count?

Would it still be worth the change?

Thank you!

Yes it has stabilization. "VR" (Vibration Reduction or something like that) is the acronym Nikon uses to denote if a lens has stabilization or not.

Disclaimer: I don't know how good it is on this lens, but it's there. Smilie

You can use the FTZ adapter to use the F mount lens into the Z mount. Lower MP is minimal unless you are pixel peeping, but with the lower MP you gain slightly better low light and high speed.

Has both VR or lens stabilization in the kit lens as well as Electronic stabilization. It is OK for general use, for heavier video work need a gimbal like the Feiyu Tech Scorp mini 2 which works great and under $200 on sale. In reality, you need a gimbal for video work regardless of camera brand to get the best results.

Seems to be made for entry level video content creation. Specs seem a bit underwhelming IMO and like someone else had already mentioned, no EVF. Granted I don't use mine as much as I probably should but I'd rather have one than not.
Personally, for those who are unsure or who are jumping into this blindly, do some research on what you want and what you need first.

I bought a Nikon Z6ii last night for $250 off of Facebook Marketplace (it had damage on the body)... should I have bought this deal instead?
