I like the shot, Rob. A question since I know you have shot this lighthouse often before with DSLR Nikons: the colors (at least on my monitor) seem just a tad "toned-down". How do shots with the Z50 compare in color with those from your D7200 or other Nikons?

It wouldn't be the camera--just his interpretation of the scene that moment. It is a little bluish, so the color balance may be off a tad, but he's learning. He could've brightened/saturated, etc but this is what he liked----although I am speaking out of turn here---sorry

I have a Z6 and compared to my other DSLRs, the colors and image are really spectacular.

Yes, I actually saturated the colors, so I'm not quite sure what to say. In answer to your second question, it seems my Z50 photos come out sharper and clearer than those from my D7200. Don't get me wrong, I still like my D7200 and I intend to keep it. Thank you for your post.

Yes, I saturated the colors on purpose because I like that look sometimes. I have attached a modified photo for you.

This photo was taken with my newly purchased Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera. This camera came with a 16-50 mm lens, and I also bought a 50-250 mm lens. The camera also came with an adapter with which I can also use my DSLR lenses.

A lovely reminder of my trip to Maine where I enjoyed shooting this lighthouse and many others.

Nice shot of an iconic place.

Thank you very much, Ken; yes, I think probably any calendar with lighthouse photos would have a photo of Portland Head Light. The lighthouse was commissioned in 1791 by President George Washington.

Great shot Rob...enjoy the new camera...making me extremely jealous,
with the pandemic, and all, doesn't look like I'll be down on my 8 weeks off.
So, no haircut with Norm on Congress, no SoPo baseball, no Pizza Villa, No Tony's Donuts, No Bissell Bros. !!
So...envying you...shoot solo and stay well !!

Thank you very much, my friend and you keep healthy as well. I have attached a link for this camera from B&H Photo. You can get an adapter which will allow you to use non-mirrorless (not a word, I guess) lenses.
