Is the nikon z50 ii good for wildlife?
Yes, the Z50 II is a sensible wildlife body, mostly because of its crop factor. Its APS-C sensor (1.5x) makes a 600mm lens behave like roughly 900mm on full frame, so you get a lot of reach for the money.
Wildlife is still the hardest thing to shoot, as the wildlife and sport page says, so the lens matters more than the body. These are the ones I'd look at first from the Z50 II list:
- Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR, for the most reach (270-900mm equivalent)
- Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD, for a cheaper long zoom (225-750mm equivalent)
- Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S, for a more versatile range (150-600mm equivalent)
The Z50 II has no in-body stabilisation, so stick with lenses that have VR or VC, as all three do. Long lenses also hold their value well, so buying used is an easy way to try one.
