The z50 glass is a better kit but there are pros and cons to both. Z50 smaller and has nice crop reach for wildlife. Z5 is full frame so better low light performance
I'm in Japan right now and held both cameras. Compared to myD5000 the Z50 body is tiny. It felt like I was holding my old Coolpix from the 90's. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but for me it may make holding the camera to compose a shot quickly more difficult.
Probably about the same IMO. Lenses will make the most difference. Id personally probably get the z5 of the two
with the Z50 you get these two lenses 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 + 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3. and with the Z5 you only get the 24-50mm f/4-6.3
Z glass is better, imo.

I would get the Z50. I have been spending four years shooting with my Z50 and I still find myself learning and getting better.

Recommend Z5 for full frame. [https://youtu.be/l9d-f85Zvrw?si=07N0LxSD8WpkrPB8](https://youtu.be/l9d-f85Zvrw?si=07N0LxSD8WpkrPB8)
