nikon z50 w/2 lens kit (16-50 & 50-250) used is listed for $799 + $20 shipping Is listed by an individual with a 100% rating on 11 items sold. He bought it used but decided to go 4/3 instead. 8,700+ shutter count. Tempting. Any comments please pro or con.

That is a good price used assuming the kit is in very good condition with the Nikon charger and at least one good Nikon battery and the front and back lens caps. The Z50 is a very capable APS-C crop sensor camera. Those are the two kit lenses and both are highly regarded. Currently the same kit is on sale new at B&H for $1136 USD which is $200 less than the suggested list price. So the question is whether you are willing the be the third owner of this kit to save $336 off the current new price, ($536 off the recommended full retail price.) Try to determine whether this was originally sold by an authorized Nikon USA dealer. If it is a grey market version Nikon USA will likely chose not to service it even if you are willing to pay.

Thanks for the reply, Mark. I plan on asking the seller a couple of questions including whether it is a USA model. Everything I have read about the z50 is very positive. Looking at it from the standpoint of smaller size & lighter weight than the Nikons I presently own.

My wife has the Z50 with the 16-50 kits lens and loves it. It is small and solid with a magnesium alloy body.

Nikon has frequent sales for refurbished gear. The usual price for this kit is $849 plus tax and no shipping charges. I bought one a few months ago. If you can wait it will cost a little more but it will have a 6 months warranty. Sales are usually every few months. They have a sale now but not for this kit. I am very happy with mile and it feels brand new.

Thanks for the info. I have seen the z50 refurbished near that price on Nikon.com before but not with both lenses. I will keep an eye out.
