Nikon Z30 + LAOWA 90mm f2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO

Nikon Z30

Leave your smartphone behind and bring your vlogging ideas to life with first-class image quality. The Z30 is compact, powerful and super easy to use. It opens up spaces for creativity with more light, power and versatility.

From product unboxings and cooking recipes to travel and parkour, the Z 30 makes it easy to create vibrant, professional-looking vlogs with the clarity and depth expected by top vloggers and streamers. The camera's DX-format image sensor (which is much larger than a smartphone's image sensor) enables the kind of sharp, detailed footage that simply can't be achieved with a smartphone. Vloggers can record long takes with up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted footage. Full-time autofocus is available during recording. The Z 30 utilizes the full width of its sensor to provide a field of view of approximately 100%. Audio quality is excellent thanks to the camera's built-in stereo microphone or an external microphone.

The tilting and rotating touchscreen monitor facilitates filming and photography from different perspectives. The deep grip enables stable hand-held shots, even with an outstretched arm. Changing the appearance of a vlog is as easy as changing lenses. The Z 30 is packed with advanced automatic features for even more creative control. However vloggers envision the evolution of their content, the Z 30 gives them the space to bring their ideas to life.

Unmissable in 4K

From 4K UHD movies (30p) to time-lapse movies and smooth slow motion in Full HD (120p), the Z 30 uses the full width of its large sensor to provide a 100% field of view (approx.). Framing yourself and your subject is easy.

No reason to stop

Space for up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted footage. That's plenty of scope for long takes or continuous shooting. Thanks to the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection and the Nikon SnapBridge app, you can upload content from anywhere.

Crystal clear, crisp sound

With the sensitive built-in stereo microphone - or an external microphone - you can capture your sound in first-class quality. The audio menu offers options for recording voices or ambient sounds such as music and streets. There is also a wind noise filter.

Quality that inspires

At home, in the studio or on the road. With the Z 30, you can record the most vivid vlogs in advance or stream them straight away. Your photo feeds will inspire your followers with detailed still images. This is the opportunity to get content straight from the camera.

More light, more wow!

Thanks to the large Z bayonet, the DX format sensor with 20.9 megapixels captures so much more light than a smartphone. Whether movies or photos - no smartphone can achieve this level of detail. Indoors or outdoors, day or night.

Inspired by the night

Movies and photos taken in low light look clear and professional. Shoot movies at up to ISO 25 600 and photos at up to ISO 51 200 (expandable). Just keep shooting into the night with the same fast and accurate autofocus you rely on during the day.

Intuitive creative control

Low. High. Wide. The Z 30's 3-inch touchscreen monitor, with its uncluttered views and well thought-out controls, allows you to capture any type of shot with ease. If you shoot both vlogs and photos with the camera, you can save separate settings for movies and photos and switch between them as needed. No need to interrupt and reconfigure settings every time.

Ready for action

No matter what angle you're shooting from, the movie recording button at the top of the camera body is always right where you need it. A clear red frame around the monitor confirms that you are in movie mode. A red light on the front confirms recording.

Customizable controls

You have many options for customizing the controls and making settings. You can assign your preferred menu options to the immediately accessible i-Menu. You can assign frequently used settings to the Fn buttons - or to the user-defined settings U1/U2/U3, which you can then call up using the function dial.

Follow the eyes

The Eye AF and Animal Detection AF modes, which are available for photos and movie recordings, quickly detect the eyes of people, cats and dogs. The camera keeps the subject's eyes in focus, even if it turns away and looks back.

Perfect exposure

Shoot confidently in all lighting conditions without having to learn complicated settings. In automatic mode, you can quickly and easily adjust the camera's exposure compensation so that the subject or your face is always well lit.

Exciting photos

For photos, a high continuous shooting rate of 11 fps is possible with full support for AF and AE (automatic exposure). From the street to the skate park: Insta-perfect shots in the middle of the action.

LAOWA 90mm f2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO

The Laowa 90mm f2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is significantly more compact than comparable lenses on the market. The 13 lens elements in 10 groups and the apochromatic correction (APO) ensure maximum imaging performance with minimal chromatic aberration.

The image is razor sharp from near to infinity. Furthermore, the circular closing aperture f2.8 - f22 with 13 aperture blades ensures a wonderfully soft bokeh. The angle of view is 27 degrees.

With a focal length of 90mm, crystal-clear sharpness and beautiful bokeh, this lens is not only an excellent 2:1 macro lens that can be focused up to 20.5cm, but is also ideal for portrait and product photography.

Three aspherical lenses and three lenses with extremely low dispersion reduce chromatic aberration as well as optical distortion and ghost effects to an absolute minimum. This design also ensures outstanding sharpness right into the corners of the image. Internal focusing prevents accidental contact between the lens and the subject. It also protects against the ingress of dust, for example. The focus and aperture are set manually.
