Nikon Z fc

With the Z fc, Nikon takes up a concept that the company developed with the Nikon Df for digital full-frame SLRs. State-of-the-art digital camera technology is packed into a retro housing whose operation is also reminiscent of analogue times thanks to many dials. In the case of the new Nikon Z fc, the result is a very compact, lightweight yet powerful camera that is a joy to shoot...

The Z fc is - after the Z 50 - a renewed Nikon commitment to the APS-C format as a constant size alongside 35mm. But the new camera is even more than that: it is a modern system camera designed with a love of detail in the look of classic SLR models of the FM/FE series, with which Nikon was able to celebrate success, especially in the 1980s...

Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros. In the days of DSLRs, the choice in this price range was much greater...

The Nikon Zfc not only looks really good, it also shoots really good photos and videos - the small system camera does not have to hide from larger and more expensive full-frame models. Operation is easy, even for beginners. The disadvantage of the 80s look is that it lacks a handle - the Zfc becomes unwieldy with large and heavy lenses.

With the Zfc, Nikon is primarily appealing to fans of the classic camera feel, as Fuifilm also does to some extent. As a result, photographers may prefer the simpler, modern operation that the APS-C mirrorless also offers instead of the more traditional one - or opt for the older (and cheaper) sister model Z50 with almost identical image quality...
