I researched for quite a bit before buying the Zfc. I wanted a more entry-level camera with more advanced control options, a fully articulating display, BSI sensor, and access to a wide selection of lenses in a camera that I would want to take to events andeven just out for the day/night.I have a larger, more advanced DSLR and was looking for a camera to be my backup, also something I could take on vacation without needing to haul a backpack full of lenses while offering image quality that's comparable to my DSLR. I almost purchased the Z50 but decided on the Zfc for a few reasons. First, the autofocus system of the Zfc is more advanced. It's on-par with the Z6 and ahead of the Z50. Second, the fully articulating display lets me take pictures I wouldn't be able ... MoreI researched for quite a bit before buying the Zfc.

I almost purchased the Z50 but decided on the Zfc for a few reasons. First, the autofocus system of the Zfc is more advanced. It's on-par with the Z6 and ahead of the Z50. Second, the fully articulating display lets me take pictures I wouldn't be able to shoot with a titling display. Third, the design of the Zfc makes it a standout.I haven't experienced issueswith the Zfc not being able to track eyes or faces. It's easy to switch between eyes. It is also able to easily recognize pets and follow them. Subject tracking has also been good. I must keep the subject within the inner ~80% of the frame, but it's fine. The BSI sensor allows for nice lowlight photos without having to crank the ISO up. I set the ISO at a maximum of 6400 and lowlight photos have turned out sharp.People don't pay attention to me whenever I use the Zfc. Before, when I would take the effort to pack up my D780 and lenses, people would often not want to stand in front of me or even move away when I started taking pictures. I'm not sure if it is the size or look of the camera, or me switching out between different lenses. People just didn't want to be around. It might be the looks of the Zfc and that people think it's a film camera. Whatever it is, people don't shy away from the area when I use the Zfc.I picked up Nikon's FTZ II adapter, so I have access to my current FX lenses with the Zfc. It looks awkward on the Zfc and even prime lenses look off-balanced. I've mainly stuck with the 16-50mmkit lens which, surprisingly, takes good photos in different lightingconditions. I haven't felt the need to use other lenses and, to me, it kind of takes away from the experience of using the Zfc.My only complaint stems from the control system and feel of the camera. It was difficult for me to grip, especially with the black plastic around the camera. An additional 3rd party camera grip fixed that and blends right in with the looks. Second, I wish Nikon had gone with a setup like what's on the Fujifilm X-T3/X-T4 and let mecontrol everything from the dials. I'm fine going through the menu to setup a maximum ISO and other similar aspects. I don't like that I can't select auto ISO mode from the dial. Auto ISO is activated based on what mode the camera is in, I can control it with the dial only when I'm in full manual mode. Other than that, controlling the ISO (or at least setting the ISO range) is done through the menu. It's counterintuitive for the camera since the dial is right there.I can understand Nikon's decision though. They want to appeal to a wide audience (hence the fully articulating display) while offering a retro look and solid performance. They've done that with the Zfc. It's more expensive than the Z50 and I was fine paying for the looks, display, and autofocus improvements. I recommend this to anyonejust starting out or as a secondary camera paired with a more advanced model.Nikon's lens selection has improved, and I've always been a fan of their glass, even with kit lenses. The Zfc isn't perfect, but it fits my needs in a stylish package that I never got to experience until now.

I purchases the Nikon Zfc as a second camera to my Nikon Z6; primarily for blogging videos, and as a camera to take around on hikes with my significant other. Having a screen that fully articulates to face front is a game changer. No longer do I have to use the finicky app to see myself from my phone. It's also great for taking couple selfies. Having dials on the top reminds me of old film cameras, and I find it incredibly useful because I often shoot in Manual mode, and love being able to control ISO from a dial. You really can't go wrong with this camera. That being said, this is not a top-grade professional camera, and you'll notice that in certain areas, none of which were a deal breaker for me.

It's not designed for that, and lacks redundant card slots, etc. It fits a certain niche perfectly, either as a second camera if you do a lot of blogging, or simply love the function and feel of older film cameras.

Having photographed with so many different cameras, including both 35mm film and digital, I never could have imagined how cheap this camera would feel in my hands. I had read reviews about this prior to purchasing the camera, but I didn't believe them. Once I received the camera, I took it out of the box and discovered that those reviewers were right. I felt like I was holding a plastic toy camera purchased at a yard sale for a dollar or two. This is the first time I've ever returned a camera without shooting a single frame. I'm sure the IQ of the camera is great, but I can't get past the cheap physical feel of the camera body. Nikon missed the mark on this one and I'm returning it.

For about $100 more than the very similar Nikon Z50, you can get this retro-styled mirrorless APS-C camera that will remind old-timers of the Nikon FM film camera series. It uses the same sensor and has features similar to the Z50, but adds more dial-oriented controls for some functions, including shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. Once you master these faux old-style controls, you'll be more comfortable with this stylish camera.Nikon does give you a way to return to more conventional operation, however. With the shutter speed dial set to 1/3 Step, you can select shutter speeds using the command dial (and apertures using the sub-command dial, as always.) Set the EV dial to the C position, and you can add/subtract exposure compensation in five different ...

With the shutter speed dial set to 1/3 Step, you can select shutter speeds using the command dial (and apertures using the sub-command dial, as always.) Set the EV dial to the C position, and you can add/subtract exposure compensation in five different ways, including a redefined control ring or with EV added to the i menu.Unlike the Z50, this camera has no flash, which is generally a good thing, as the Z50's flash is useful mostly for fill (and cannot serve as a controller for off-camera flash.) The fully-articulated LCD monitor is a big plus, especially for vloggers and shooting selfies. In Self-Portrait mode, the camera reverses the monitor image, so you see yourself as you appear in a mirror (or in Zoom calls.)The 21MP sensor is fine for most applications. There are a few limitations of this camera. The in-camera Flash Control menu system doesn't seem to work with the SB-5000, but functions fine with the SB-300, SB-400, and SB-500. (All other flashes can be adjusted using the flash's own controls.) Some adapters, such as the various Sony E-mount to Z-mount adapters cannot be used with this camera (nor with the Z50.) There is only one Fn button on the front of the camera, pre-defined as the WB control rather than depth-of-field button. Thankfully, Nikon has done away with the virtual zoom in/zoom out screen icons and replaced them with real buttons.Overall, a great entry-level camera with some advanced features, like time-lapse, interval shooting, and focus shift. Although Nikon is seriously lagging behind Sony (and even Canon) in the mirrorless market, the retro-design should help the Zfc to sell well, and, perhaps, even cannibalize some sales from the older Z50.
I'm relatively new to photography/videography. Having the control dials on top has really helped a lot with learning photography in general. Rather than hunting through menus or using presets/auto, It's forced me to think about the outcome of my settings. In the audio world I favor control surfaces for mixing and this is that same vibe. I'm pleased with this camera and I appreciate BH for helping me make a better buying decision.
Did I need this camera, absolutely not. I currently have a D750 as my main camera, a D5300 as an extra back up, and my old D300 just because I can't bear to part with it. I purchased this camera because it looks just like my Nikon FE2 that I shot for 20 years and dearly loved. This camera is plain fun to shoot and I love the retro look. The fact that it takes great pictures is certainly a plus. I have not delved into the mirrorless world, but I admit it seems to be the wave of the future. I am slowly getting used to the electronic viewfinder and find it just fine. Having used Nikon DSLR cameras since my first D100, it takes no time to figure out this one.

I just got the camera a few week ago and have not really shot much with it (just the dog and a few spring flower pics) but plan on using it a lot to shoot my grandkids and maybe as a travel camera. The 16-50mm metal lens just adds to the retro look and is quite a good lens. I am the person whom this camera was designed for and I love it. Fun to use, great picture quality, and good looking.
I've had a lot of high-end Canon film cameras in days gone by. I was never much for digital even after trying out a Canon SX10 more than a decade ago. Been using phone cameras ever since.After searching through the new digital cameras from Canon, nothing really stood out. I switched to a Nikon search and this beauty came up.I love it. Old school meets new school. It has everything on it an analog camera has except the film winder arm and exposure counter. If I want to delve into the menus, that's there too. Most shooting is done with the analog controls and it is very intuitive to use for someone that loves film cameras.If you miss the old days, don't miss this camera.The included bag is above and beyond anything I expected as a freebie.

Since beginning my photography journey I have had numerous cameras, from Canon AE1s in the film days to Nikons in the digital age. My very first Nikon was the D90 and I've since owned a P450 for fun, a D300 that I gave to a friend, a D7100 I still have and now the D780. I launched my business with the D7100 and then went to full frame with the D780. After a few years of carrying around cameras, flashes, stands, reflectors, triggers, and a carry all with everything you can imagine, I found I wanted a go and run camera. I originally looked at the P1000 and the Z50 along with other Canons, but because I'm heavily invested in Nikon products, it really was a matter of going to another Nikon. So here are the greatest aspects of this wonderful power in a small package. One ... MoreSince beginning my photography journey I have had numerous cameras, from Canon AE1s in the film days to Nikons in the digital age. My very first Nikon was the D90 and I've since owned a P450 for fun, a D300 that I gave to a friend, a D7100 I still have and now the D780. I launched my business with the D7100 and then went to full frame with the D780. After a few years of carrying around cameras, flashes, stands, reflectors, triggers, and a carry all with everything you can imagine, I found I wanted a go and run camera. I originally looked at the P1000 and the Z50 along with other Canons, but because I'm heavily invested in Nikon products, it really was a matter of going to another Nikon. So here are the greatest aspects of this wonderful power in a small package. One is the incredible lightness and weightless feel of the camera with the 16 to 50mm lens. It packs a punch in the high ISO ranges and works really well with low light circumstances for that reason. The second is the relative ease of the controls. I will say the most awkward part of the camera, and there are a few, is turning the ISO up and down. I am finding that reaching over to the left with my right and pushing down the button to turn the dial is just a bit awkward and using my left I haven't mastered how to do that without losing my grip on the camera. The third thing is the grip and the relatively uneasy feeling I have when holding it. But since I've used a camera similar to this, it's just an adaption you have to make. However I did order the grip just in case. The fourth thing that makes my day though is that I love the retro look of the camera. It reminds me so much of my film days and the way it looks just makes me happy looking at it. Not the reason to get a camera but when you consider this little baby is retro looking but packed with features of a digital camera, you just go with it! After shooting with it however, it has that right combination of high quality processing, easy controls for the most part, no learning curve if you are a Nikon shooter and really fabulous photos considering the simplicity of the camera. It is what I wanted as a grab and go and it exceeds this need beyond what I expected. I have not begun to work with the video quality so I can't comment on that, but it does have excellent eye tracking, so I imagine it will perform as expected. This is a camera you take to have fun shooting again and without the bother of lots of equipment. I have no complaints with this little power in a small package. Can't wait to get the FZ adapter to play with it even more.
I am a professional headshot and portrait photographer, so I know my cameras pretty well. I used to shoot DSLRs but began the switch to mirrorless last year. I shoot Nikon Z 6s 7s professionally now, but I just love this retro looking but very feature rich APS-C camera. I use it for both video and stills. Great for taking with you wherever you go. IT is really good for Vlogging with the screen adjustments available. The only drawback I can mention is the grip. It is hard to hold in portrait mode, especially if you have a large flash on it. I have big hands, so it is a bit of a problem. I think there is a batter grip available for this camera so you might want to get one but then it will lose that retro look.
I am planning a trip to Italy in the fall and wanted an easy-to-carry camera that I can drop in a purse instead of the 20 lb bag of gear I'd take on a photo safari to Africa. Being a Nikon user, and lover of a retro-look camera, this fit the bill. It is lightweight, fun to use, and the images so far are great. I am using the 16-50 kit lens and also purchased the new 26 f/2.8 lens which I know will be useful for shooting interiors of churches and such do to the faster speed. This camera makes me feel much less conspicuous than I feel lugging my D780 and 24-120 lens and will be my go-to for street photography. This is also my intro to mirrorless and it is giving me the bug to make the full leap. The only con is the lack of grip, so I added on a Smallrig hand grip ...
