Is the nikon z dx 16 50mm f 2 8 vr good for video?

For video, I'd call the Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR a solid choice. The stabilisation and bright f/2.8 help with steady handheld shots and softer backgrounds. The catch is the wide end. On APS-C it frames roughly like 24mm on full frame, which is tighter than most vloggers want at arm's length. If you shoot talking-head or walk-and-talk footage, keep that in mind.

Good matches from its list of fitting cameras:

• Nikon Z50, a native APS-C body.
• Nikon Z30, if you want something smaller.
• Nikon ZR, if you'd rather use it in APS-C crop mode on a full-frame body.

Whichever you pick, budget for sound. Good audio matters more than the lens; see Video and For vlogging.
