[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 825181, member: 47024"] Auto focus in low light is more challenging with the Z50 than my D7200 (similar focus type, separate focus screen as the 7500) it "hunts" more than the 7200. This would be more of an issue in a low lit club. In my personal experience low light is dependent on contrasting light with the Z50 sensor based focus. If you are interested in manual focus in low light (have the time to take the shot) the Z50 offers focus peaking, I will use this when things get really "dim". In situations of "normal" light like an indoor birthday party I find the Z50 does a nice job getting and maintaining focus. When things are dim like one lamp lighting a room my D7200 is the better setup. I will post a sample with my D7200, in this shot it was morning with low window light as it was hazy out.
