Front functions
The two function buttons in the front aren't squeezed tightly between the lens and the grip, which makes them more comfortable to use.
Control layout
The control layout is similar enough to the D3500 that it shouldn't be too much of a struggle for people stepping up to the Z50.
Connections
The Z50 has an HDMI connector, micro USB and mic jack.
Back controls
It has a pretty typical control layout.
Big thumb rest
Deep grip
50-250mm lens
When retracted, the lens is reasonably short for its focal range.
50-250mm lens
When zoomed out, it's pretty long, though.
Compact zoom
The manually collapsible16-50mm lens is about the same size as the equivalent power zoom.
16-50mm lens
When expanded, the 16-50mm lens is still relatively compact.
Dual lens kit
58mm f0.95 Noct lens
This one's not for the Z50 -- it's $8K.
