Push boundaries, express individuality Designed to encourage users’ expressions of their individuality, the Z f is newly equipped with a dedicated monochrome selector. Create magical monochromatic photos and videos with the addition of [Flat Monochrome] and [Deep Tone Monochrome] settings, in addition to the conventional [Monochrome] setting. Users can simply switch to B/W mode and focus on creating images that consider light and shadows while shooting. With the new monochrome selector, users can opt for a wide range of scenes, from landscapes to portraits and street photography. Capture stills and videos as you imagine them with the Picture Control and Creative Picture Control functions. Applicable for both stills and videos, these functions enable users to use colour to express the feelings, temperature, and atmosphere of their subject at the time it was captured. Wedding and portrait photographers seeking flexibility in their captures will appreciate the new [Rich tone portrait] setting, which allows for rich tones while retaining the skin details of their subjects. Choose from 20 kinds of Creative Picture Control and 11 kinds of Picture Control, and then confirm the chosen effect with through-the-lens images in real-time. New expressions, expand possibilities The Z f features enhanced video performance allowing for more authentic production of stills and videos. With H.265 10-bit in-camera recording and N-Log/HLG recording support, subjects such as landscapes, architecture, portraits that have delicate details can be beautifully and accurately depicted. Users can also shoot with minimum gear and without the need for an external recorder. With up to 125 minutes of 4K UHD/60p video recording, the Z f enables full-scale video recording with sufficient recording duration. In addition, it supports the recording of 4K UHD video using 6K oversampling , enabling creation of high-resolution videos. The camera also features Video S mode, which enables users to control auto exposure with a fixed shutter speed. This is especially useful when the brightness is constantly changing outdoors due to cloud movement, or the scene includes a significant difference in brightness such as from bright sunlight to shade. Introducing pixel-shift shooting; an all-new feature with the Z fc. Capturing high-definition images of detailed subjects is now possible thanks to this advanced feature. Users can now shoot multiple NEF (RAW) files while shifting image sensor positions utilising in-camera VR when the camera is fixed with a tripod or other equipment. Through NX Studio, it merges multiple NEF (RAW) files; select 4 shots/8 shots/16 shots/32 shots and the resulting images can be compiled to produce high-definition images with increased resolution and colour reproduction, and reduced moiré, false colour, and noise – ideal for subjects with a lot of details such as art objects, insects, and minerals. Advanced functionality, exceptional optical performance With the Z f, enjoy superior AF performance with wide support from easy to more particular shoots. The AF-area mode includes 3D-tracking in photo mode and subject-tracking in video mode, and an improved tracking capability when moving subjects such as pets and vehicles are detected, thanks to EXPEED 7 image processor. Users can focus on framing their shots as the AF detects various subjects in frame, without the need to change settings. Not only can the AF detect human faces of approximately 3% in size (which is the world’s smallest ), it also enables easy focusing in low-light situations down to -10 EV such as during nighttime, moonlit landscapes, and indoor portraits. EXPEED 7 also enables continuous shooting at the maximum continuous shooting speed, regardless of the AF-area modes. Users will also be able to capture small, difficult-to-focus subjects like distant subjects in a wide coverage area with high accuracy, enabling them to shoot their intended composition quickly. This is thanks to the Z f’s wider range coverage and the increase in the number of focus points available with auto-area AF. Whether capturing portraits or snapshots of people, achieve the intended expression regardless of the environment you’re in, with the combination of superior AF performance and wide support to capture easy and more particular shoots. Thanks to EXPEED 7, users can capture dark scenes beautifully as noise is suppressed even when ISO sensitivity is increased, thereby expanding the range of shooting dark scenes such as night landscapes and indoor portraits. The Z f features enhanced VR performance; the in-camera Vibration Reduction of 8.0 stops expands the range of handheld shooting to include low-light indoor and long exposure shots. For the first time in the world , focus point VR has also been incorporated to

An absolute dream to use. There are so many ways to use this camera to its full potential it's amazing. You can use it full dial manual, or you can use it like a typical Z6/Z7.
You can also use it semi manual, semi auto depending on your settings. While not as fast in burst speeds as the Z6II when using the mechanical shutter; boosts that speed
using the electronic shutter. The autofocus system far exceeds my Z7 and Z6II cameras. I am completely satisfied with the performance, and accuracy of the camera's

Excellent Camera. Images have that 24 MP magic. The only drawback is that the camera doesn't have a grip, so if you're used to a camera with a grip, you'll have to relearn.
Make sure you have a strap so the camera is secure and can't slip through your fingers if they're wet. Given the lack of grip, this camera seems best suited to the 40MM lens
provided in the kit option. Also, it seems there's confusion as to whether the control ring on lenses can control the aperture. It took me a while of trial and error but I was able
to get it so that the control ring on my 24-70 2.8S was able to control the aperture. Online reviewers have stated that Nikon goofed up and didn't add this feature... Show more

I bought the ZFC to be my everyday walkaround camera.So here are my thoughts on this awesome camera.Yes of course I love it! Picking it the first time it seems like an old friend that has come back in your life! Literally feels and acts like my first camera! The tactile feel of its control knobs, its clean lines & weighty feel all add to make this camera feel so good in your hands. With the 40/F2 retro lens attached it looks good & gets TONS of response from people that see it. Let me just RAVE on the crazy amazing, autofocus system & I love that it tracks one subject so well even with obstructions blocking it from time to time. I shot one gig recently with about 400 images shot on this camera, and ONLY deleted 7 out of focus images! I also love that the images are ONLY 20MB! My other camera shoots 50 MB images & they are just slow in downloading & seriously how many clients are going to print images that are as big as walls?I started my career printing in the darkroom & have always loved B&W. Up until now you have shot a digital image in color then gone to your desk where you download it & then decide that maybe you might like it in B&W. Now however you just flip the switch & you are shooting B&W in real time. I love that I can in one quick portrait session be shooting color, then switch to B&W then back to color in a moment! My clients LOVE IT TOO!Ok I do have a few gripes that have already been expressed but here are mine. Of course holding the camera without a grip is VERY DIFFICULT. I fixed this by making my own Koa Wood grip attached by a metal plate I crafted in my garage. Living in Hawaii you have to have a Koa Wood Handle on your prized camera! Having a grip on the camera makes it so you can hold & shoot with it one handed, which is essential at times!Another gripe I have is that I have gotten VERY used to the 3 user settings on my Z72, suddenly not having those settings for different lighting scenarios is a bummer. Usually I have my other camera with me & can refer easily to them, BUT not as easy to just move the USER SETTING DIAL to a different set up depending on what I am shooting. Ok one more gripe! Yes I wish there were TWO custom control buttons on the front of the camera instead of just one! Having gotten used to that function on the Z72 it's really nice to be able to have multiple autofocus options.So back to what I love about this camera! This camera is WAY BETTER than the ZFC. The ZFC, although a nice little camera, feels plasticity. I hated the crop sensor & how a 40mm became a 60mm. The ZF fixes the issues with ZFC & just rocks as a little workhorse camera.So incredibly happy that Nikon FINALLY made this camera!... Show more

It's built like a tank and a little heavier than my Z6, but not in a cumbersome manner. I did however get the Smallrig grip...that is a must. The card slot choices are different than most other mirrorless cameras sans the Z5. It uses SD and micro SD cards instead of CFExpress. That does affect burst length, but using a SDXC UHS II card helps compensate that.My only gripes are the standard grip being insufficient...completely insufficient, hence the Smallrig grip purchase. The grip doubles as an arca-swiss mount so that at least is a bonus. The other gripe I have, and this one is kind of a doozy is the camera does NOT come with a battery charger. It comes with a removable and replaceable battery, but no charger. I does come with a wall plug to USB-C for charging, but that doesn't do me much good in the wilderness or at an event where plugging a camera in to charge it is impossible/impractical. Sure you can use a separate battery pack that is USB-C compatible, but then I have to deal with that dangling from the camera. How this was deemed a "good idea" on a camera that you can replace the battery multiple times throughout the day is beyond bonkers. Why did Nikon (and many other manufacturers for that matter) charge a small fortune for an item, yet leave out an essential component that MAYBE costs them $5 to put in the box???... Show more

Online reviewers have stated that Nikon goofed up and didn't add this feature, but it's there. You have to go in the menu and change first the dials so that aperture is controlled by the back dial, then go to the lens controls and change the control ring to aperture...if you don't change the dial, the control ring menu will only say power aperture. Don't know why this is, but the control ring now does aperture...I think it can also do ISO, which is also handy. The aperture will also stay at the setting it was at when you turn off the camera.Other than that, it's well built, the power switch has a nice click, buttons have a nice feel, and the dials work well. Images are good...what you'd expect with 24MP...autofocus works well, and it seems like if you take care of this camera, it'll last a long time. I'm glad I got it, because 24MP has nice contrast, low light sensitivity, and has a look to it that higher MP cameras don't have, except for medium format. Ive printed images from 25MP FF up to 3 feet and they look fine. It also has that cool retro look, and dials are right there so you can immediately change settings.... Show more

Excellent Retro Look and Feel
2 January 2024
To best understand the perspective from which I am rating the Nikon Zf, it should be clear the place it has among my photography gear. I am a semi-professional photographer (meaning photography is not the sole source of my income), who shoots primarily portraits and events. My primary work cameras are the Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8.Some time an ago, I purchased a Nikon Z fc as my walk around camera. It went everywhere with me in a small camera bag, paired with a couple small lenses. But I was not quite impressed with its feel and its image quality. And the limited number of Nikon Z APS-C lenses was an issue.I sold my Z fc and was contented to make the Nikon Z8 the new walk around camera, until the Zf was announced. And the more I looked at the new Zf, the more I ... MoreTo best understand the perspective from which I am rating the Nikon Zf, it should be clear the place it has among my photography gear.

It went everywhere with me in a small camera bag, paired with a couple small lenses. But I was not quite impressed with its feel and its image quality. And the limited number of Nikon Z APS-C lenses was an issue.I sold my Z fc and was contented to make the Nikon Z8 the new walk around camera, until the Zf was announced. And the more I looked at the new Zf, the more I became interested. So finally, I bought it.The things I like the most include the full frame sensor, the 24mp vs 46mp sensor and resulting smaller images, excellent color fidelity, relatively fast frame rate, new and updated IBIS, etc.The things I wish could be improved include, more buttons to which functions could be mapped (e.g. ISO, back button AF, etc.) In buying this retro style body, I was quite aware that it would lack the modern ergonomics of other Z cameras. So that was not an issue. I bought the Smallrig grip (which makes it a bit of challenge to remove the SD card) to give me a better hold on the camera.Would I buy it again? Absolutely. This is an amazing machine. It's my walk around camera, but it can certainly be used for my professional work. I've attached a sample portrait shot in my studio with the Zf and the NIKKOR Z 70–200 f/2.8 S.... Show more

Fuji killer except the internet prefers the hype.

Buying a second body because it is that good!If you are looking for the retro look and a professional capable camera that won't cost you 3k or over, this is the one for you. Affordability set aside, this camera is a winner, jack of all trades, master of some. Having owned a nikon D850 for several years, I jumped at the ZF when it first became available. It sufices to say, I regret nothing. I even sold my beloved D850 for a second body. Now, I'll probably be alone in that decision as the D850 is just legendary, but my needs are different and why keep a camera I won't use anymore. The ZF's user experience is so robust. The camera feels and is a tank. The quality is amazing, and there isnt anything that feels cheap about it. It is weighty without being too heavy or ... MoreBuying a second body because it is that good!If you are looking for the retro look and a professional capable camera that won't cost you 3k or over, this is the one for you.

The camera feels and is a tank. The quality is amazing, and there isnt anything that feels cheap about it. It is weighty without being too heavy or bulky. Moving into it's internals, this camera is state of the art. The user interface feels like home if you have owned a nikon in the past, but might need some learning on anyone new to the system. The features packed on the ZF are nothing short of great and what stands out for me the most are the fast autofocus and subject tracking capabilities as well as the ibis and clean files in low light (low noise at higher Iso). Moving on to my tittle, I am a fierce fujifilm aps-c lover. Working with fuji makes work feels like play. Jpeg images created with the film sims and the many simulations available online is pure fun. All is fun until you find yourself in a low light scenario. Auto focusing fall on its face on most fujis and lenses just hunt like mad. Noise on fujis looks like grain so is rather pleasant but lets you wishing for more. That's where the Nikon ZF comes in... This camera lacks nothing and wants to do everything. If 4k specs were better, it'd be the obvious choice for even more people. But they had to cripple it given the z6 iii is coming. Sales are everything.In short, if you are looking for that retro "fuji-like" experience but want a full frame and all that it entitles then look no further! For a little more than an xt5 or (x100v or vi) you get into a fantastic full frame system loaded with features. And if thats not enough, adapt virtually any lens to it, vintage 35mm or otherwise in a native full frame format and enjoy the possibilities.... Show more

Full Frame Fun in a Retro Package
17 September 2024
The service from John Lewis was impeccable as ever.I have not had a camera for the past few years due to illness however have previously had both Nikon aps-c and full frame cameras before moving to mirrorless offerings from other competitors. I was intrigued by the Nikon ZF and the more I researched it the more I knew it was the camera for me.The retro styling is great with the body having considerable yet reassuring heft... ergonomically I find it comfortable and prefer it without the aftermarket grip (which I also own). I have paired the body with a beautiful manual prime lens and a Nikon zoom lens for the odd occasion I require it. The image stabilisation is superb and coupled with the sensor, makes for beautiful clean images. I really like the B&W mode ... MoreThe service from John Lewis was impeccable as ever.I have not had a camera for the past few years due to illness however have previously had both Nikon aps-c and full frame cameras before moving to mirrorless offerings from other competitors.

I really like the B&W mode however don't care much for video functionality, though this is more than capable in that area. The party piece is definitely the focus assist when using manual lenses, almost faultless and a game changer from Nikon.If like me, you are looking for an engaged, tactile camera system, this is as good as it gets right now....

Great and enjoyable camera.
19 September 2024
early this year I bought the Nikon Z8 to take with me on an overseas trip. The Z8 is great camera and no complains except I felt it was too bulky to take with me on a day to day shooting when traveling. I wanted to stick to Nikon as I prefer their image quality and I knew I wanted stick to full frame sensor. I decided to buy the Nikon ZF and I'm glad I did. While the Z8 feels like unlimited power and professional work, the Nikon Zf feel more travel friendly and more layback look. It has a more casual feel and is very rewarding to use. if you don't need all the frames per second shooting of the Z8 for hard core sport or wild life shooting I think the ZF is more than enough to satisfy your needs.Wild life or people that offend crop their image may benefit from the ... Moreearly this year I bought the Nikon Z8 to take with me on an overseas trip.

I have always hold all my cameras with two hand for stability. On hand on the right side and one hand under the lens. So I did not find any issue gripping the Zf comfortably. I will keep the external grip just in case but I don't see my self using the grip adapter. your millage may vary depend of your holding habits.It feels like a tank. hard metal construction. the dials are a joy to use. I love the fact they manage to squeeze a micro SD as second memory card. I got one of the fast micro SD card available and I have no issue recoding RAW photos to it. I treat the micro SD as back up card. I don't ever removed it. I removed the primary regular size SD card to transfer the photos to my computer.I find not many negatives with this camera for my personal usage. One thing I do wish is one or two more customizable buttons. Not a deal breaker but one or two more would have been perfect. Also hoping for Nikon to make more pancake style lenses for every day photography... Show more

Great camera & packed with features
21 November 2023
First, I'll begin with the dislikes. The grip on this camera is very small and it's difficult to hold. Small Grip, the company, sells the added grip for better handling, but not as deep as the Z5, Z6II or Z7II. The second is the weight. It's not a light camera. It doesn't bother me, but for anyone that may be "weaklings" may have a hard time using this camera throughout the day. The third is no LCD display on top of the camera to view camera settings like the Z6/Z7/Z8/Z9. What I like about this camera is the articulating screen, the 24MP full frame sensor, the build quality (it's solid) , the retro look, the brass dials to manually change the settings, the two card slots, the high ISO performance, the fast Expeed 7 processor in this camera (same is used in the Z8 ... MoreFirst, I'll begin with the dislikes.

The autofocus system is outstanding for this camera, especially the 3D tracking that's useful for both still shots and video. The autofocus system performs better than the Z6II and Z7II, and very close to the autofocus system of the Z8 and Z9, the flagship cameras. It is fun to use and image quality is fantastic. All of this for $2,000? That's a great price for so many features. I highly recommend this camera.... Show more

I Might Have Broken Fuji's Heart
5 January 2024
I've long been a Fujifilm fan. Matter of fact, I didn't think I'd end up here, with a Nikon. I knew I wouldn't own a Sony again; too clinically streamlined, without the direct user control and tactility my film cameras spoiled me with.This camera captures images with an analog, directly-connected feel (the feeling that the photographer - not the software - is taking any worthwhile image) akin to my 135 format SLRs.Only Fujifilm has come this close; yet I wanted both IBIS and a full-frame sensor, and for now this camera is the only option to fit both criteria.The screen closes against the body with a solid 'clack'. The dials are metal. While the selector levers controlling PASM shooting mode and recording type mode (i.e. BW, photo, or video) are plastic, they ... MoreI've long been a Fujifilm fan.

The viewfinder has no color tearing. The out-of-camera JPGs with the Nikon picture effects have a great rendering, up there with Fuji film simulations (in my opinion).You can find plenty of technical objective reviews, but know from mine that from an engagement, subjective standpoint, this camera is as satisfying as a film camera, without the quirks or hassle....

Retro outsides with high-powered insides
28 March 2024
I have the Z9 and Z8 for my professional work, but this camera & lens interested me more for walking around personal stuff, and I'm really stoked! The camera's IBIS, auto-focus, and low noise at unheard of high ISO's is truly amazing... better than my Z8 & Z9. This camera/lens combo is bringing me a lot of joy, partly because of its simplicity. I do recommend getting a grip for it if you're used to modern mirrorless camera ergonomics. Be aware that the lens comes without a lens shade or cloth bag, and it has a plastic lens mount ring(!), which is a dubious first. But I've tested this 40mm f:2 lens and find it's IQ very good, although not on a par with my S class lenses of course. I'm not a wedding photographer, but I could see this being a serious contender in that ... MoreI have the Z9 and Z8 for my professional work, but this camera & lens interested me more for walking around personal stuff, and I'm really stoked!

But I've tested this 40mm f:2 lens and find it's IQ very good, although not on a par with my S class lenses of course. I'm not a wedding photographer, but I could see this being a serious contender in that line of work for the camera's quick handling, low light performance, and ease of use. The unusual 40mm focal length is a very neat difference from 35mm & 50mm. I'm finding that I like it better than both of those focal lengths so far. I like this camera so much that I later bought the 28mm f:2.8 to go with it as well, in spite of the lens mount ring not being steel. Time will tell how it holds up, but these lenses are CHEAP to buy considering their image quality. I tricked mine out with a soft-touch shutter release button, a grip, and an aftermarket lens shade. The shutter button is threaded as if to accept an old fashioned cable release, but WARNING, the camera does not operate with a cable release attached and apparently was not designed to do so. You'll need to use a remote shutter unit, the 2-second timer, or just gently use a soft touch for long exposures on a tripod. The retro look and feel of this camera is fantastic and reminiscent of my first 35mm SLR film cameras. I highly recommend this gear. Attached are photos of my Zf tricked out with a grip from Nikon Japan, Promaster soft touch shutter button, and Vello LHN-HN52 metal screw-on lens shade.... Show more
