The Z30 is an APS-C mirrorless camera (1.5x APS Crop) announced by Nikon on June 29, 2022. It is the ninth Z-mount camera body and the third APS-C Z-mount body. The Z30 is the first Z-mount camera body which does not have a built-in viewfinder, using only the articulating TFT LCD with touchscreen. The camera yields an effective 20.9-megapixel still image and 4K video (up to 30 fps).
It does not include built-in sensor cleaning, nor is IBIS present, although Vibration Reduction on some Nikkor and third-party lenses is provided.
Building on the functionality of the Nikon Z50 and Nikon Zfc, this model was designed for vloggers with an emphasis on video recording functions. It is compatible with the ML-L7 Bluetooth remote control (sold separately) and the SmallRig Tripod Grip 3070.
