Best budget nikon z camera?

I don't list prices on cst1 likes cameras, so I can't tell you which Nikon Z body is cheapest. The one Nikon Z body I cover is the Nikon Z fc. It's a mirrorless APS-C camera with a 20.9-megapixel sensor and retro dials, announced in 2021.

For a budget setup, I'd put money into the lens before the body. A modest body with a good lens beats a fancier body with a cheap zoom, so read how to split the budget and browse lenses. Two Nikon Z primes I cover are the Z 40mm f/2, which is small and cheap, and the Z 50mm f/1.4. Both are listed for full frame cameras, so check the fit before pairing one with the fc's APS-C sensor.

If you buy used, budget for a new genuine battery; see buying used.
