Camera Overview — Nikon DL18-50

The Nikon DL18-50 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1-inch, 20MP sensor powered by the EXPEED 6A image processor. The camera supports an ISO range of 160 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. On the back, you'll find a 3.0-inch tilting OLED touchscreen with a 1,037,000-dot resolution — a display that makes composing shots from low or high angles noticeably easier than fixed screens allow.

There's no optical viewfinder listed in the specs, but an optional DF-E1 EVF accessory can be mounted via the accessory shoe for those who prefer eye-level shooting. Autofocus combines phase-detect and contrast-detect systems, with 105 phase-detect points and 171 contrast-detect points, and face detection AF is included. The camera is capable of 4K video recording at 30fps in 8-bit, and stills can be captured at up to 20 frames per second in burst mode.

Image stabilization is handled by a Dual IS system combining lens and body elements, with digital IS also available. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The body is constructed from mixed plastic and metal, weighs 365g, and measures 106 x 63 x 58 mm.

No weather sealing is present. The battery is an EN-EL24 Li-ion unit.

Key Features — Nikon DL18-50

20MP 1-Inch Sensor: The 1-inch CMOS sensor delivers strong image quality and dynamic range in a compact body, well above what smaller-sensor point-and-shoots offer.

18-50mm Equivalent Lens: The fixed wide-to-standard zoom lens covers an 18-50mm equivalent range, making it well suited for landscapes, architecture, and everyday shooting.

EXPEED 6A Processor: Nikon's EXPEED 6A image processor handles fast burst shooting and 4K video while keeping noise under control across the ISO 160–12800 range.

20fps Burst Shooting: Continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second gives users a strong chance of capturing sharp frames during fast-moving action.

Hybrid Phase/Contrast AF: A 105-point phase-detect and 171-point contrast-detect autofocus system with face detection delivers fast, accurate focusing across a wide range of subjects.

3-Inch Tilting OLED Touchscreen: The 1,037,000-dot tilting OLED display allows touch-to-focus and touch-shutter operation, and tilts for easier composition from high or low angles.
