Having grown up it the era when telephones had cords and dials, the lack of a viewfinder is a real non starter for me. My first camera, an Argus C4, didn't have a light meter, but it did have a viewfinder.

I know why marketing didn't do it, but let's be consistent in names. It should be Z3.

Z30 is to Z50 as Z3 would be to Z5(II)

Yeah I agree, I have the Z5ii and what the C is missing out on is not only the View Finder but also the Joy stick at the back and it only has 1 card slot where the Z5ii has 2 card slots so yeas maybe they should have called it the Z3-C and then it has room for upgrades later in it's own category. It does have a little extra in regards to the video section better than the Z5ii apparently but the flip screen is smaller and not as bright as the Z5ii.
In Australia the Z5iiC body only is only $250 cheaper than the Z5ii body with out all those missing bits.....so yeah unless your a You tuber or Tic Tocker......paying the extra $250 is a no brainer. It's be under $2K in the USA I'd imagine.......The fro had a field day complaining about the lack of View Finder :p :D

Even Jordan's review at Petapixel included all the footage of him bonking the camera to his face to use the missing viewfinder. 🤕
