Nikon z50 vs sony a6100?

Both are 2019 APS-C mirrorless cameras that frame like 1.5x full frame, so the choice comes down to resolution and which lens system you want to join.

I'd lean to the Sony a6100 for its 24.2 megapixels against the Z50's 20.9, and for the wider lens choice on its page. Neither body has stabilisation, so a stabilised kit lens makes sense. The Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a sensible everyday start.

Pick the Nikon Z50 if you already shoot Nikon or like its DX lenses, such as the Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR. If you're buying new, also look at the Nikon Z50 II, announced in 2024 with the same 20.9-megapixel sensor.
