Limitations
The DX-format sensor, while excellent, is smaller than full-frame, limiting depth of field control and low-light performance compared to FX models.
The kit lens NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR has a relatively slow aperture that may not perform well in low light or produce strong background blur.
The battery life is moderate for a mirrorless camera, requiring spare batteries for extended shooting.
The camera lacks in-body flash, depending on external flash units for low-light fill lighting.
No 4K video at 60fps; maximum 4K recording is 30fps, which may limit some video applications.
The autofocus system, while reliable, may struggle in extremely low-light or fast-moving action scenarios compared to higher-end models.
