You asked
Nikon z30 vs nikon z fc?
The two bodies share a sensor: both have a 20.9-megapixel APS-C chip and no in-body stabilisation. The difference is the design. The Nikon Z fc is a small retro-styled body from 2021 with dials on top. The Nikon Z30 is Nikon's 2022 vlogging camera, with no viewfinder and a flip-out screen. Pick the Z fc if you want a camera you enjoy handling and the Z30 if you mostly film yourself.
Lens choice is the same on both, and since there's no in-body stabilisation, stabilised lenses help with slow shutter speeds. Good starting points:
- Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR for an all-round zoom with stabilisation.
- Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD if you want a brighter zoom.
- Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 for low light and a natural-looking prime.
