Nikon Z30 vs Sony FX30
The Nikon Z30 and the Sony FX30 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Nikon Z30 if you want a lighter body (350 g against 646 g). Pick the Sony FX30 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (26 against 20.9 MP); stabilisation in the body, which steadies every lens; and more lenses made for it in this guide (403 against 233). If you already own Nikon Z or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
