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. Basically, I wouldn't go and shoot a wedding with this camera as my ... MoreI 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.

Upgrading from an 10 year old Canon Rebel DSLR that felt so heavy and clunky and going to a mirrorless felt great. Images in daylight are fantastic and sharp. Bokeh effect that knocks the background are super easy and much better than my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Taking fast images are easy too with the 11 fps burst option.I especially love the fully articulating touch screen which allows me to snap shots that would otherwise make my back sore! The touch screen is also pinch to zoom and double taps just like a smartphone.Battery life is exceptional with all day shooting capabilities but just in case, I purchased a spare Nikon battery for vacation trips.Shooting 4K video is crisp but IBIS is non-existent so you may have to use a gimbal for smoother clips.

It's very retro designed but so easy to carry when hiking and taking along the city for quick snap shots. There are various options and accessories which I purchased as well to make it even better like the grip handle that screws on and a thumb attachment for superior grip.Love this amazing camera for everyday pics and for learning photography as well. Yeah, it's not a Sony A7SIV but for the price, the images look great to me.(Note: Images shown are compressed and not full resolution)

After a lifetime of owning Canon cameras, and having essentially stopped taking my camera on holiday / excursions due to their weight & bulk (last camera was an EOS 1D-II), I opted for the Z fc after reading and watching numerous reviews and handling the camera at various camera shops (inc John Lewis Oxford Street).The photo quality is better than I expected for a crop-factor and the level of control you have with the quick dials and the "i" menu is truly a joy.I added a grip to make it easier to shot one-handed, a 256Gb Sandisk Extreme card (good for 2,000 raw images) as well as the obligatory UV filters to protect the excellent vibration-resistant lenses.I shoot in raw & use the excellent LuminarAI and the results have been excellent.

On a recent trip to Edinburgh, the larger lens acquitted itself very well shooting short & long exposures in challenging weather conditions.Only briefly used the video features.The best camera you will ever own is the one you will use most often, and this camera will have you taking many more pictures.
We all know this isn't your next wedding camera, but I was looking for something smaller, lighter, and frankly 'prettier' for everyday use, street photography, and documenting family moments of higher quality than a smartphone.I love the manual dials and vintage feel but with the benefits of digital, and the flip-out touch screen is significantly more intuitive than alternative flip-ups I've used before like the Fuji XT-10.One feature I was not expecting but absolutely love is the automatic downloads for quick posting to blogs or social where quality is not imperative due to platform compression. I was walking around NYC, reached a coffee shop, and everything I shot was already transferred to my phone - ready for some slight corrections and then set for posting. ... MoreWe all know this isn't your next wedding camera, but I was looking for something smaller, lighter, and frankly 'prettier' for everyday use, street photography, and documenting family moments of higher quality than a smartphone.I love the manual dials and vintage feel but with the benefits of digital, and the flip-out touch screen is significantly more intuitive than alternative flip-ups I've used before like the Fuji XT-10.One feature I was not expecting but absolutely love is the automatic downloads for quick posting to blogs or social where quality is not imperative due to platform compression. I was walking around NYC, reached a coffee shop, and everything I shot was already transferred to my phone - ready for some slight corrections and then set for posting. It's a small feature but saves a lot of time knowing it's happening in the background. The remote control feature of the app is also easy to use and better/faster than some others that I've used.The JPEG color presets are great for someone who just needs some quick effects that can be tuned for social, but the RAW images are great, too.I got the body with the 40mm F2.0 and am fairly pleased. Sharpness is good and bokeh is reasonably smooth for the price point. No manual aperture on the lens but easy to adjust on the fly with the front dial.All in all, very happy with the purchase!
I bought the Z FC as a walk-around and travel camera. I mostly shoot wildlife and portraits with a Nikon D500, and occasionally shoot film for fun. I plan to upgrade the D500 to a Z9 down the road, so I was torn between buying a Fuji or the Z FC for my first mirrorless in the meantime. If I wasn't already invested in Nikon glass for a cropped sensor, I probably would've gone with Fuji due to IBIS and the slightly better dials. I wouldn't use the Z FC for wildlife or serious portrait work, but it's flexible enough in a pinch to suit my wants in a fairly inconspicuous mirrorless body. This maybe too bulky for some street photographers. But, it isn't trying to be a Ricoh, and I'm not trying to be a street photographer. I just wanted something with mirrorless features ... MoreI bought the Z FC as a walk-around and travel camera.

This maybe too bulky for some street photographers. But, it isn't trying to be a Ricoh, and I'm not trying to be a street photographer. I just wanted something with mirrorless features in a more compact body than a prosumer or flagship camera. I can still attach my current lenses with the FTZ if I really want to do a quick portrait session or record wildlife on video.Three of the most common complaints are my biggest as well: the dial locks, lack of an auto ISO option on the dial, and the grip issue. No IBIS? Eh, I wouldn't have paid more just for that, and I don't shoot much video, so that doesn't bother me personally. The dial lock on the ISO dial is a pain though for manual shooting. I haven't found a comfortable way to adjust it while looking through the viewfinder, unlike the shutter-speed dial. Locking the ISO dial does make some sense if you're just trying to replicate the feel of shooting film, but the ISO dial is no more likely to be bumped accidentally than the others. Using the dials *should* feel good and be fun given the style of this camera (and the shutter-speed dial is satisfying). It's also not clear why Nikon doesn't allow users to hold the record button as an ISO modifier key like on the D500 or other DSLRs. This seems like it could be done through a firmware update, but who knows? Similarly, the lack of an auto ISO setting on the dial itself is a poor design choice and illogical. The menu shortcut workaround works, but that's a clunky hack rather than a feature given the price of this body. Not a deal-breaker, but an irritation for sure given the otherwise effective and stylish design.Ultimately, despite the irritating design flaws, I bought this camera based on feel and owning Nikon lenses. Unlike buying a D500, or eventually a Z9, I knew I was sacrificing customization and comfort for something light that I could pick up and carry on a wrist strap without hearing Oh, nice camera! every time I went out, but still have the capabilities of a DSLR when needed. I tried several Sony and Fuji mirrorless bodies at a local shop, along with the Z FC, and this just felt the best in my hands. I also preferred the flip-screen design over tilt-screens. This body is definitely not perfect, but was the most comfortable among comparable options for my hands with the optional grip attached. Here's hoping a firmware update at least offers a more comfortable alternative to the locking ISO dial. I love the D500. I'm excited about the Z9. But I don't love the Z FC. It feels like an unnecessary compromise, or a precursor, only because of some poor design choices. I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner just starting out with Nikon for stills, or to non-Nikon shooters. But it was still a better fit for me than switching to Fuji for a secondary camera, and offered more flexibility than a Ricoh when I travel. It's still fun to pick up and shoot overall, but unnecessarily irritating.
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.

I have been doing photography personally for years, learned on a Nikon disorder and currently own, love and use the Nikon d850. I also used Fuji for almost 2 years as my compact camera and loved my x-pro3. I recently sold my Fuji and some of the lenses and thought I could stay with the 850. I quickly realized the size and workflow not what I was use to with Fuji nor the experience. The x-t5 is being announced today and the Fuji I was going to get is out of stock so on a whim, this one was available and had great reviews, specs I wanted so decided to try it. I am a manual shooter, love the dials and retro look. I have a collection of older Nikon cameras including a film fm10 that I am also currently using. This camera looks a lot like it. I'm happy to say I love it. ... MoreI have been doing photography personally for years, learned on a Nikon disorder and currently own, love and use the Nikon d850.

I am a manual shooter, love the dials and retro look. I have a collection of older Nikon cameras including a film fm10 that I am also currently using. This camera looks a lot like it. I'm happy to say I love it. It's small it's light and allows me to be creative as I want or flip it in any kind of auto mode for my grandkids, my pets and can much easier go with me with them. My favorite thing I really struggled with is the difference in menus and going back and forth between systems. I never fully got use to it and it frustrated me. With this one it's seamless going back and forth between cameras. A few weeks ago I hiked up a mountain with my husband and pup and the Nikon d850. While the pictures are beautiful, not the experience I wanted. The zfc is much more practical for things like this. The other last thing I expected that I love was my granddaughter (8 years old) wanted to take pictures and I already had it set up and she had no issues and took beautiful pictures. I'm not saying it's better or worse than Fuji or anything else but for what I needed and how I shoot, it's perfect!
I got this camera on a whim, just because I thought it looked cool, and really didn't expect to like it. I've now taken over 10k pictures with it, and was totally wrong. I love it. With a magnesium chassis, and aluminum dials, it's not just about the looks. It really feels like shooting one of the old Nikon film cameras I loved so much. Pair it with a manual focus lens with an aperture ring and set everything to manual and that feeling is complete, but with the immediacy of digital. Or, you can take advantage of all the modern automation if the situation calls for it. I usually use manual shutter speed and aperture with auto-ISO unless I'm looking for a specific effect that the camera wont let me get with that (like the fishermen at sunset, below). I've shot a lot ... MoreI got this camera on a whim, just because I thought it looked cool, and really didn't expect to like it. I've now taken over 10k pictures with it, and was totally wrong.

I usually use manual shutter speed and aperture with auto-ISO unless I'm looking for a specific effect that the camera wont let me get with that (like the fishermen at sunset, below). I've shot a lot of wildlife and sports with it, and with those settings, rarely miss a shot. I find the autofocus quick enough for anything I want to shoot. If I miss something, it's usually because I didn't get the camera pointed in the right direction fast enough. I have the Z-mount 16-50, 18-140, 50-250, and 24-200, all of which are stellar, as well as the 200-500, which is great with the FTZ II adapter. I did get the Small Rig grip, which helps a lot when using the big lens. Image quality is excellent, in my estimation. I do my best to keep the ISO as low as the situation allows, but images are usually acceptable, even at high ISO. I highly recommend this camera.
I am a very beginner in photography and my photographer recommends me to purchase this camera. I am not a professional one so my review could be very superficial and might be judged by professional photographers. But this would probably help someone who starts their photography path with this camera, especially someone who just know a little about camera like me. My current level is limited to ISO and shutter only. I was first impressed by its vintage look and I immediately fell in love with it as it could be a really beautiful decoration in my house even if I don't use it. It's small and not heavy. Just one hand can hold it tight without shaking. It could be put into my coat pocket as well. Personally, I would prefer something tiny and light because that's one of ... MoreI am a very beginner in photography and my photographer recommends me to purchase this camera.

Just one hand can hold it tight without shaking. It could be put into my coat pocket as well. Personally, I would prefer something tiny and light because that's one of the motivations for me to use it. Otherwise, I might just take my cell phone out and this camera would be a waste. Another I love about is the lock of ISO and shutter button when I am in manual mode. My hands are big and usually it is super easy to mistouch the buttons when I take pictures and the overall setting is ruined. But the lock solves the problem. The screen could be flipped over for protection purpose (for example, dust). This camera also equips with a 28mm f/2.8 lens when I purchased it and it solves another problem for me as I have no idea what kind of lens I should choose. I love the manual filters and different focuses setting as well. Overall is great so far when I take pictures. I think I will continue using it until I reach higher level in photography. I will recommend it to fresh and total beginners.
