It bugs me that Nikon doesn’t have a true entry-level mirrorless camera – but a Nikon Z50 for US$500 is a mightier option than Canon's offering anyway

Nikon Z50.

I’m constantly moaning that Nikon doesn’t have a true entry-level mirrorless camera in the same vein as the Nikon D3500. The closest you’ll get in the current line-up is the Nikon Z30 and the Nikon Z50 II.

But the Z30’s vlogger-centric design lacks a viewfinder and the Z50 II, as fantastic as it is, will set you back $910 / £849. Don't get me wrong, the specs warrant that price, just like the Fujifilm X-T30 III, the Z50 II is a cut above your average entry-level offering, but it's not a true entry-level camera.
