B500 Uses AA batteries, no dedicated ISO settings button nor any shutter or aperture dials that I see.
What tends to happen is that when point and shoot cameras encounter low light, they automatically drop the shutter speed to compensate resulting in a blurry picture or the colors get mushy.
Fixed lens limits your choices of lens for different situations. 1080p not 4k video. 1/2.3 sensor with 16 MP resolution instead of a larger APSC sensor which will do better in low light. Has a 3 inch LCD rear display, but they don't list the resolution and I doubt it's a touch screen.
The COOLPIX B500 is a compact digital camera that shoots 16 MP photos and Full HD video. Share images instantly to your compatible smartphone.

Z50 is more money, but has a rechargeable battery, dedicated ISO control, front and rear command dials to control aperture and shutter, touch screen rear display (excellent BTW), ASPC sensor, accepts other Z lenses, 4k video is awesome, has animal eye detect AF, 20 MP sensor.
I'd suggest comparing them in the store, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Z50 is more compact with the lens closed.
