It looks like an interesting addition to the Z line. The retro look is appealing, reminds me of my film Nikons. That being said, I don't see any reason to trade my Z50 in for one. The new features, i.e. autofocus enhancements could be added to my Z50 with a firmware update. The new charging option via usb is enhanced from the existing configuration because you can use the camera while charging. On the downside, there is no built-in flash, no FN buttons, no user selected (U1/U2) selections on the the mode dial. Maybe I am overlooking something, and please enlighten me if I am, but I think I'll stick with my Z50. If I have the urge to go retro, I'll pull out one of my N80s.
