Still photography is my main intended usage from this camera. I wanted a light wait, unobtrusive camera that looks like a point and shoot, which I can carry with me to nearby park for kids' photos and videos. It fits nicely in an old camcorder bag as it doesn't have that EVF bump. But is certainly powerful enough for my photography interests. Hence, I opted for Z30 over Z50. Even though I could have opted for Z5 and such full frame cameras, the bulk of the heavier lenses combined, wasn't a good motivation for me.
I can point out though on a few differences - Canon R50 is known to have a better autofocus system. By that I mean the subject detection and tracking. Although I see people/animal detection on Z30, it doesn't feel upto the level of Canon. If you use a single point autofocusing, the difference is non-existent. On the kit lenses I have seen faster autofocus speed on Canon than the Z 16-50mm, but it would differ from lens to lens. JPEG color wise they both have their differences in the look. Canon shows colors slightly differently than Nikon. You would need to figure out yourself which colors you like the most by looking at the online pictures. The colors shift slightly from model to model though even if you stay in the same family (though Canon surely makes sure the skin tones are pleasant to see).
Nikon doesn't have flash at all whereas Canon seem to have it. Once you become more advanced user though, you would realize you need special adapter for hoteshoe flash for Canon R50 (not too expensive) if you want to purchase cheaper flash strobes (this is only true for R50 and not other Canon cameras).
The lens options is an important consideration, but the gap is narrowing I believe. Nikon Z mount has cheaper lens options like Viltrox. Canon doesn't yet allow Viltrox, but I guess the future is not too distant. Sigma and Tamron are producing nice lenses for both Nikon and Canon APS-C cameras. On the other hand if you mean to mount full frame lenses, then the topic becomes more arguable. Although Canon has provided many low,mid,high end lens options, they are currently on the higher price side. It will be a matter of time when the cost comes down for those (2-3 years). For Nikon - you can find mid, high-level native lenses with good prices already.
One other different I would note in the controls availability - Canon R50 is actually meant to be an entry level camera for most. It cuts back on some of the advanced user settings - such as in auto-ISO you cannot set minimum ISO (that is for later models), there is no mechanical only shutter (only EFCS or electronic. In Z30 you seem to get both). Smaller hand grip. Fewer buttons etc. Z30 seems to have more of those. But all those points are more relevant if you have experience with cameras and have specific feature set in mind.
