No viewfinder, uncropped 4k recording. Seems like more for video, anyone with this can chime in?

My son is in love with cameras. We have Nikon but the d7000 and a number of af-s lenses. I'd like to get him his own camera for his birthday coming up asap. Is this a good one. He is intersted in learning manual and just pull out and shoot moments with his friends.

How did you get that price point and what's your reasoning? And i'd argue against that... you can get A6000 for that price...

A6000 isn't even close to the z30. A lot happened in the 8 years between the two. As for $400, Nikon refurbished sale

Lol what is the "alot that has happened in 8 years"? A6000 has 4 more MP, faster AF, a freaking viewfinder for crying out loud, insane amount of glass... clearly you don't know as much as you think you do because you only bring up the difference in age

To be fair, the Z30's sensor generation gap is huge. Sure, the A6000 has a viewfinder and 4 more megapixels on paper, but the Z30 destroys it in video specs (uncropped 4K, better codecs), modern autofocus with reliable face/eye tracking, USB-C convenience, and significantly better menu systems and color science. Eight years of R&D in processors and sensor readout speeds makes a massive real-world difference.

You are right on the spot. I would take Z30 over A6000 any day.
Sony A6000 has viewfinder but that is about it.
Noise Nikon Z30 modern EXPEED 6 processing and sensor design handle shadow recovery and luminance/chroma noise significantly better than A6000
Focus Z30 can lock onto subjects down to -4 EV, making it vastly superior for tracking or acquiring focus in dim rooms, evening events, or night street photography compared to the a6000's 0 EV limit.
Video the Z30 can shoot 4K and clean up to around ISO 3,200–6,400 with usable results at ISO 12,800, whereas the a6000 is heavily restricted in low-light video capabilities and limited to 1080p with a lower bitrate.
Thanks to its newer sensor technology and processor generation.

Yep, A6000 series is not a video centric platform, all cameras except A6700 have rolling shutter distortion. I still disagree, Sony's AF is best in class, Canon and Nikon are still catching up. Overall, the E mount lens selection is amazing, I'd recommend Sony anyday because of that

Anyone can put this comparison through an AI.... what lens would you get with this? Not as many options as E mount....

I agree 100% on your comment "Sony's AF is best in class, Canon and Nikon are still catching up. Overall, the E mount lens selection is amazing,"
I am wedding/portrait photographer and shoot both Sony and Nikon.
I love my Sony AF and they are the best.
but i stand by my comment. Nikon Z30 is much much better camera than Sony A6000 by reasons I mentioned.

Four more megapixels.....means jack squat. It's a distinction without a meaningful difference.

Something eight years newer is going to have far better video codecs, faster autofocus, improved low-light performance, better sensor dynamic range, USB-C (!!!!), and several other quality-of-life upgrades.

Sure, Sony has a large library of glass. But you're only using one lens at a time, and I'm sure there's a piece of Nikon glass out there that can beat a piece of Sony glass. They're not all "better". Also, how many versions of a 50mm prime do you really need? Or can afford?

Let me rephrase -- at this price point of $400-600, that user would clearly be entry-level. It'd be a safe bet to assume they're not in the market (as in "does not even remotely have the budget") for a higher end piece of glass. When you're battling kit lens vs. kit lens, you're getting a kit lens. They're all.... fine. Ish.

Sure, Sony has some pretty good autofocus. But I strongly doubt something eight years old is going to outperform a modern camera. And even if it does, it's going to be by such small amount, the other quality of life upgrades are going to matter more.

If you already have an older camera and are happy with it, excellent! Keep using it and have fun. Genuinely. Lean into what makes your device and platform great. But you can't forget that new stuff comes out all the time, and at some point, you'll be leapfrogged. But keep using it as long as you're happy with it.
