Nikon Z FC Mirrorless Digital Camera (Black) with 28mm Lens

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.

Basically, I wouldn't go and shoot a wedding with this camera as my only camera, but who would? 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.

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. For that I ... MoreUpgrading 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.

For that I just continue to use my iPhone with a DJI OM5 gimbal.Lastly, it's very subjective but this lightweight camera just looks cool. 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.
