Professional Nikon cameras can be expensive, as you would expect, and although we start this section with the most expensive of all, we have two others that are much more approachable in price and could tempt many enthusiasts too. Read our full Nikon D7500 review (opens in new tab) for more details Best Nikon cameras for professionals The D7500 has a lower resolution sensor than the D5600 (20MP vs 24MP) but it's a newer design taken from the pro-grade D500 that sacrifices a few megapixels in exchange for better image quality at high ISO settings and faster all-round image capture. It has a tilting rear screen rather than the fully-articulated design on the Nikon D5600, so vertical shots are trickier – but it's fine for video and horizontal shooting. It's a larger, more rugged camera that offers 8fps continuous shooting, Nikon's highly-regarded 51-point autofocus system, and the ability to capture 4K video. Nikon DSLR fans ready to step up from a beginner-orientated model like the D3500 should look at the Nikon D7500 (opens in new tab). These cameras are ideal if you're upgrading from an older Nikon DSLR system, or you've been using a more basic camera and you feel you've exhausted its potential. Read our full Nikon Z30 review (opens in new tab) for more details Best Nikon cameras for enthusiasts If you can’t live without an EVF or mainly shoot stills, you could always try the Nikon Z50 (opens in new tab) or Nikon Z fc (opens in new tab) and their near-identical innards. If you’re of the generation of shooters happy to forego a viewfinder, the Z30 offers the cheapest route to the best Nikon Z lenses (opens in new tab). Most of what the Z30 is lacking – IBIS, EVF, 4K 60p – can be explained away due to the camera’s very affordable price tag. If you’re looking for a dedicated point-and-shoot video camera that won’t break the bank, the Z30 offers arguably the best build quality in its price range. Likewise, it remains a very capable stills camera. While Nikon has aimed the Z30 firmly at a vlogger audience, with a focus on ease of use for shooting video, the underlying video specs are very similar to Nikon’s existing DX-format Z-series cameras. Read our full Nikon Z50 review (opens in new tab) for more details This is a great value camera for both beginners and enthusiasts, though we would like to see a few more DX lenses coming out. Best of all, the Z50 is a terrific value, especially when bought as a twin-lens kit. and the fact that its Z mount is identical to that on the larger cameras, so you can use dedicated Nikkor Z DX lenses, full frame Nikkor Z lenses, and regular Nikon DSLR lenses via the FTZ adapter. Nikon may have come to the APS-C mirrorless market comparatively late, but it's come in with a camera that has so many good points it's hard to know where to start – but we will highlight the 4K video, 11fps shooting. Despite its small size, it has a good grip and good external controls, and the retracting 16-50mm kit lens is remarkable not just for its pancake lens dimensions but for its overall performance. The Nikon Z50 is a much smaller camera than Nikon's full-frame 'Z' models, but it clearly shares the same design DNA. Read our full Nikon Z5 review (opens in new tab) for more details This camera represents significantly better value in our book than its rivals like the Canon EOS RP and Sony Alpha A7 II, and the price is continuing to drop, meaning it's worth considering over APS-C alternatives like the Z50 and the Z fc. It makes a few compromises, lacking the Z6's back-illuminated sensor, and suffering a 1.7x crop on its 4K video, but these sacrifices are what enable the Z5's real ace in the hole: its tempting price tag. It produces fantastic-looking images, and having a full-frame sensor with the sophisticated Z-mount is a tough combo to argue with. IT takes design cues from its pricier siblings, the Z6 and Z (more on which to come shortly), but makes some sensible additions like a beginner-friendly mode dial. It took Nikon a little while to come out with a really solid entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera, but the firm smashed it out of the park with the Z5 (opens in new tab).
