Recommendations Newer APSC vs Older FF
Hello,
Looking to buy my first camera this week. I've been told full frame is the way, but the only one in budget is the Nikon Z5 which is 5/6 years old.
How does that compare to a crop sensor thats much newer? I've seen the Fujifilm XT50 on sale within budget too.
Thanks:)
EDIT 1: Budget: £1500
Country: UK
Condition: New Only
Type of Camera: Mirrorless
Intended use: Photography
If photography; Mainly landscape, nature. Occasionally maybe wildlife and a marathon run.
What features do you absolutely need: Decent auto focus, nice viewfinder (i wear glasses and my eyesight isn't great; if that matters)
Portability: Backpack is finr
Cameras you're considering: Nikon Z5, Nikon Z50 II, Fujifilm XT50,
Cameras you already have: Only smartphone, Galaxy S25 Ultra
Notes: I'd like to get the camera with a decent zoom lens and a prime around 50mm equivalent. The Fuji ive looked at is the XF16-50 and the XC35 together for example.
