@HR-wd6cw 2 года назад

I think they probably look at this and say "there are plenty of actual film cameras on the market so we won't bother" and there is probably some merit to that. It's likely that the costs would not be recouped since film photography is a bit of a niche market still even though it's making a come-back. Plus, I think I'd rather shoot a true film camera from the film days (especially one of Fuji's rangefinder style cameras) over a modernized film camera with all the bells and whistles of a modern camera, only that it shoots film. Too much technology IMO. But again, it comes down to cost and being able to make money off of it. And I don't think the market will ever be there (again) to justify it. If Nikon or Fuji did, I could see them making a premium camera but would probably charge a premium price for it and thus, probably wouldn't even pay for itself either because of the price to consumers, so really it's not feasible or justifiable from a cost standpoint any way you look at it given the niche market.

@Mitch.Wasserman Год назад

I just bought the Z fc and was a bit apprehensive due to so many referring to it as "plasticky". I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and discovered it's not as lightweight as I thought it would be. I love the camera. Great features and I like all the customization possibilities. It's my first mirrorless to add to my D500, D610, and D7100.

@markwornom1050 Год назад

I'm interested in knowing how it compares to the D500 since it would be it's replacement. I find the D500 amazing but I need something lighter. I'm also considering the Z fc's brothers the Z50 and Z30 but leaning more toward the Z50.

@trianglesqrt2576 11 месяцев назад

definitely try out the picture controls! You can add film simulations similar to the fuji ones

@FawfulDied 9 месяцев назад

@@markwornom1050 IMO...AF is inferior to the D500 in poor light, smarter but slower than the D500 in good light. For example, if you're tracking faces outside, then the Zfc works well. The ergonomics of the Zfc really suck in my opinion. Not enough buttons, weird design choices, and a difficult to hold shape. The Z50 is much better here. Unfortunately, unlike the D500, none of the DX Z cameras are weather sealed. 10 FPS (continuous H extended) comes with a few limitations. The biggest one is that the viewfinder becomes a 10 FPS slideshow, rather than live updating between shots as in the 5 FPS continuous H mode.

@FawfulDied 9 месяцев назад

Also, no dual card slots. But honestly, that's not something I really care about that much. I do care about the lack of internal flash, though. That's saved me a few times. None of the DX Z cameras have in-body stabilization either, unfortunately (a feature all of the FX Z cameras have).

@BabaGanooshOFS 2 года назад

One of the features that I’ve come to live out of this camera that no one talks about is the ability to do Timelapse videos. Yes, time lapse videos-not interval shooting. I love that the camera automatically compiles the photos and processes them into a video. The things I hate about it: limited lens environment and no aperture rings on the lens. Yes, you can use full frame z lens or use the F mount lens, but that puts a huge lens on a compact camera, which defeats the purpose of choosing this camera.

@Stop-All-War Год назад

Ttartisans, manual lenses I bought 'Ttartisans 35mm f1.4.' If you can live without auto-focus & Exposure, it's great. It's basically a fully manual Camera thereafter, digital film experience. Focus peaking & 200% magnification aid in focusing on subjects.

My wife has the Zfc and 28mm as a fun camera and I have X100v and totally agree with you on the silver finish. I hope that one day Nikon do a full black version like my little Fuji. One of the reasons why I bought the Fuji was that I wanted a camera small enough to slip it in my suit or coat pocket for work in the city so understand exactly what you mean about the Zfc size. That said, my wife does have a full black leather case and wow that little Nikon looks sexy😍 I really like what Nikon have done with this and it truly does hark back to the film camera days and looks like a fm2 which isn’t a bad thing. Great review Omar 👍👍

@waawaaweewaa2045 2 года назад

I'd be tempted to purchase this camera if it had a full frame sensor. The problem with nikon crop sensors is that they don't have a lineup of tiny super wide lenses to accompany them like fuji does with its crop sensor cameras.

@TheObscurelord Год назад

Nikon seems to state that this ZFC isn’t a pro camera (cause you can have only kit lens and two prime “not so” fast). Fuji instead has a long story of development its APSC line up for professional use. It’s a shame because you can easily work “pro” with a crop sensor if you have fast and quality primes 😢. This is the only reason that keep me away from this design jewel … Nikon should consider a fast 1.4 prime set for this ZFC

I currently own the Z50, so no need for the Zfc. My main gripe with Nikon is their AF, in the mid-range cameras.

@anta40 2 года назад

I haven't extensively use the Zfc, but aesthetically wise I like it. Kinda resembles Nikon FM2. Actually that's one of the reason why I'm still happy with Nikon Df, which also resembles FM2. The difference is of course one Zfc is APSC, while Df is FF. Given Zfc lens roadmap, guess I'll stick with Fuji for APSC system. Nope, I'm not a big fan of using FF lens on APSC crop bodies. Crop factor is annoying...

@solomonessix6909 2 года назад

I’m not a big fan of the hinged battery doors either. I’d like to see the Lieca Q2 styled battery system used with Nikon. Indeed, the cost of the battery would increase yet potential damage to the battery door is eliminated making the camera more robust.

@dwwhite318 Год назад

The Nikon Df is the bug brother of the Z fc. Nikon is my camera of choice but this one will need to be tested thoroughly. From what I have read and heard, this Zfc might be a new member of the family.

@momentsbyron 2 года назад

Actually I opt for the zfc instead of the z50 because of the fully articulating screen and a better af and eye af in video also program the focus ring as the exposure comp on the 28mm lens - not to mention the looks 😀😍

@momchilyordanov8190 2 года назад

They need to make like 3 or 4 of these retro-looking lenses. Maybe a 14 and a 55 to go with this 28. And make them f/2. The 2.8 is dark for a crop sensor camera.

@ElectroTone 2 года назад

The Z50 is not a proper replacement for the Zfc if you are not into the retro look. While they share the same sensor, the Zfc can be powered or charged via the USB-C connector, while the Z50 has the fragile and severely outdated micro-USB connector and can do neither. So for stationary video work the Z50 will require an - expensive - battery adaptor/power connector plus an external AC power supply. Additionally the Z50 is missing continuous eye focus for video, something that can apparently not be added via firmware updates.The Zfc has this. Basically the Zfc is an updated Z50-II with a retro look slapped onto the case.

@jamese4729 2 года назад

That's fair. The Z50 is a great camera, but Nikon's choice to use Micro USB and not update it to eye autofocus (definitely has the same innards as the Zfc) are limiting. I bought my Z50 because it was so darn comfortable to hold. The kit lens for these cameras is amazing (if dark), and that sensor is excellent. The Zfc trades Nikon ergonomics for looks, which is good if you take your camera out for lunch! I'm hoping for a Z50 ii that has IBIS and USB C, but the flaws of the original are so minor that I'm not sure I'd upgrade anyway.

@busyhive2346 6 месяцев назад

@ShaiYammanee 2 года назад

It really is a very pretty camera. I do agree with the silver paint comment though. I wish it looked more premium. Was it enough to make me move from Fuji though? No, not at all. But, for the Nikon shooters out there, it's great to see that they have the option for this style of camera now.

@jamesmorrison-knight3477 2 года назад

I'm not so drawn to the Zfc, just feels like Nikon are trying to jump on the Fuji bandwagon with a camera that isn't particularly exciting. That said, if they had continued the legacy of the Df and made a full frame camera with a retro body, that would have been interesting. I just think that Fuji dominate the aps-c arena (for good reason) and Nikon should try to break into a different part of the market, rather than go after Fuji with a camera that's not quite up to par

@UncommonSense1776 Год назад

I liked the fact that it looked like my FM2n . I love how that camera looks and although I don’t use it any more because my eyes are getting younger . After using a variety of pro gear , I have had to down size in both weight and size and carry a dinky little MFT camera . Fuji was one of my favourite kits back in the day, but as adorable as the XT20 is, it stills feels bulky to carry everywhere these days . Fuji has two great street lenses and one doubles for portraits . Nikon on the other hand has nice JPEGs , but the glass is too big to be useful for me. I have whittled by lenses down to just three . The kit lens I rarely use, a standard lens and a portrait lens. The wide angle is covered by my phone . One day I may only find I can use my phone to take pictures and it is because our phones can do just everything the old disposable film camera could and more , the camera industry is in decline . The future of digital photography is to emulate the phone camera but do it better , yet without the weight. However, I loved 5x4 cameras and know that digital cameras cannot match the quality of those cameras and that is a pity . I agree Omar, the Zfc is a lovely looking camera , but I would chose the Z50 as my entry point if i could not afford the Z6ii. Loved the video and I agree with everything you said in your review . The Zfc has a lot going for it. Thanks again .

Great review. Man if it was full frame I'd buy one in a heart beat. Still tempted though as I love the retro looks

@tjkrueger2655 2 года назад

The other issue is splitting the lens lineup to follow two different aesthetics and two sensor formats. Glad they offered a lens or two with their retro look, but the bulk of the Z lineup looks mismatched. As long as buyers know and understand that system going in, should be a fun, low-stakes camera to own.

This was a cheap way for them to repackage the Z50, and pretend they did something interesting.

@iamhassan9943 2 года назад

@@joeltunnah They did do something interesting. It is not just a repackaged Z 50. They improved some aspects of the camera including autofocus. And the kens lineup is not “split.” All Z Mount lenses fit all Z mount cameras. The 28 2.8 SE he had on that camera is a FF lens.

Reminds me of my Df, and has a lot of the same interface decisions that frustrated me there too… that said, it is a faithful companion, and my only digital F body right now. But my FM and F100 will keep it company. And my Z6II 😸

@pascalhibon7928 2 года назад

I do like the looks of the Zfc, so I guess this make me shallow too... That is why I have owned an X-T1 and later an X-T30 in the past. But somehow, the ergonomics of the dials and the grip of the camera don't agree with me. About 6 months ago I sold my X-T30 and bought the Z50 instead. This would be my take anywhere camera. And man do I like the Z50. It has great ergonomics and fantastic image quality. Even the kit lens takes amazing images. Highly recommended!

@juliandavis7460 2 года назад

So True and spot on! I'm only just getting into photography and often take my newly acquired Nikon Z fc (Amber Brown Version) and Fuji X100V (Silver & Black Version) out for coffee for all the reasons you say 🤣

@thinkingmushrooms2943 2 года назад

I'm curious about Nikon. I am a Fuji user for several years now. I recently bought a Canon Eos RP just to try and hated it, the build quality was great, but the EVF had a green tint and the image quality was worse because of the AA filter. I wonder if I would like this camera or the Z6 better.

@ronboe6325 2 года назад

I got the Z50........because I had no idea the Zfc was coming out. It does have excellent image quality.

@dct124 2 года назад

As a past Nikon DF owner. The shutter mode switch is an achilles heel of the DF. On the Zfc it looks like they now have 2. Be careful not to hang up a thread under those tiny switches. One tiny bend and they'll function intermittently. Debris can be an issue to so try keeping the Zfc clean at all times. I wouldn't use this in sandy or dusty environments.

Why can’t we get a Hybrid Film camera? Obviously it would cost to develop one but I guarantee it will sell!!! The ability to use with or without film, having preloaded film simulations Also the ability to use all the great digital advancements with film would be so amazing, auto focus ect, and being able to use current glass, package it with a mount adapter of the buyers choice for old film lenses. It’s gotta be possible!

@thomasmoje5926 Год назад

The Nikon Zfc came out not too long after I bought my Fujifilm X100F. Had I known the Zfc was going to be released I would have waited and bought it instead of the Fujifilm; as the Zfc so closely resembles my beloved Nikon FM film camera. No regrets though the X100F is a great 'travel/grab and go' camera I'm very pleased with it. And it too closely resembles classic rangefinder film cameras..I've had people think I was carrying a film rangefinder camera. Kudos to Nikon though for creating a digital camera that has the look and feel of a classic film SLR camera. Maybe I'll spring for one 'just because'?

@victorlim5077 Год назад

@@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas I did. The Black Edition Zfc looks fantastic. Especially now with the new Voigtlander manual focus Z mount lenses. Surprised how fast Voigtlander created half a dozen Z mount lenses in a year or so.

@StrangelyIronic Год назад

I got an fc because one used basically open box popped up local for 500 usd body only. I got a 35mm Voigtlander f1.2 Z mount dx lens and that's basically my walk around kit. The Voigtlander talks to the body, so it works with manual focus indicators (the focus square turns color when it detects it's in focus) along with the obvious peaking and zoom options. You can use some of the custom settings to get dslr style focus trapping (hold the shutter down, move the focus ring, and the moment when the focus indicator turns green it takes the shot) that has gotten pretty good results for me so far. That lens and the 27mm version in z mount are the reasons I bought the body (at the price obviously). They're both available for Fuji too I believe, but Nikon has the focus indicator which I've had great results with and really wanted in a solid manual lens to shoot like I used to with (d)slr's. I have serious doubt that Nikon will push any notable fast DX primes. They'll just release a handful of zooms and then the budget-but-solid smaller FX Z lenses will have to do for the Z50, Z30, and Z fc (this 28mm is an FX full frame lens, same with the new 26mm pancake). Not the end of the world, those are actually small enough to fit the bodies and there's already third-party lens makers coming out with DX Z autofocus lenses. A lot of people think Canon might put out a throwback design R mount camera, probably a rebodied R10 at this point. It could be a rebodied RP to claim they have a leg up on the Z fc and Fuji's with full frame, but the primary audience that actually makes them what little money they do for a camera like these throwback bodies are a better market with the cheaper amateur enthusiast bracket. Either way I wouldn't be interested personally with how they've locked down the R mount. If it were an open mount to let Sigma, Tamron, etc pick up the slack for APS-C lenses for fast appropriately sized primes (FF bulk and expense defeats the purpose of crop sensor outside) then I would have already bought an R7. Then again if Fuji didn't flicker every time it goes back to wide open after focusing/taking a shot I would pretty much be content with that X-T3 for many many years to come. Most people don't notice it, I can't help but not notice after trying multiple times for weeks at a time. It ticks back to wide open 1 aperture click at a time creating a slight flicker along with a flash/flicker when focusing that gave me migraines. My MFT, Sony, Pentax, nor Nikon gear do this. Shame too, you buy a system for lenses, and I love the fujicron f2 lenses, the 27, 35, and 50 were good enough to be my kit. They feel great in the hand, the aperture dials are great, the quality for the price was great...but that stupid flickering :(.

@Tyrell_Corp2019 2 года назад

Looks sweet. As a Fuji XT4 user, I'm not sure this has any advantage over what I've already got. In fact, the XT4 has a 26MP sensor whereas this has only 20.9. Although the price is much cheaper which may make the difference for a new buyer looking for the retro experience, I can't justify switching at the moment. However, I'm always interested in the next best thing and will jump ship if inclined. That said: hopefully Nikon can amp this up retro model up a bit. The Z9? Meh. That molded Canon style body just... doesn't feel inspiring to my old analog hands. 🤷‍♂

When I bring my Fuji results into an editing suite, I can get very close to that “Leica look“ if not, spot on with 9 out of 10 of my photos. It’s a matter of adjusting the contrast of the blacks. There’s something about the Leica sensor which is really good about the contrast.
