The Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR is a versatile superzoom lens that offers good build quality, image stabilization, and an impressive zoom range. The build quality is solid and the lens feels well-made, although it is a bit plasticky. The image stabilization works effectively, providing sharper stills and smoother handheld video work. However, the image quality suffers at the extreme ends of the focal range, with softness and purple fringing at wider apertures. The lens also exhibits barrel distortion at the wide end and pin cushion distortion at the telephoto end, requiring correction. Overall, while it offers a great zoom range, the lens does have some compromises in image quality. It is a good option for those looking for a versatile all-in-one lens, but it may not be suitable for professional use. Consider the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 for better image quality at a shorter zoom range.
