Fujifilm Fanboy Tries Nikon ZF

[@misatodenshi]

Used a Fujixpro3 and a Leica Q2, i switched to nikon because nikon looks like a fuji and auto focuses like a sony and is sharp like a leica with the right lens

[@connormccaskill]

Honestly yeah, it's kinda awesome

[@zakiradi450]

As a Sony user and someone that owns the Zf for a year now, Nikon doesn’t auto focus like Sony. It just doesn’t suck like fuji 😝

[@Liljoozy]

Which lens?

[@gme_to_the_moon-v1p]

Not to mention the sensor's dynamic range. I don't care what the specs say. Fuji raw files don't look great when I push or pull beyond 1 stop. The new 40MP is better but still lacks the same capability.

[@MrCB2Y]

but it's heavy as hell if you use the extra grip .its almost 1KG if you use grip. hope the next ver zf can take the weight down

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

The FUJI community always forgets that Nikon is copying it's own camera which is the FM2 film camera from the 1980'ies in this case. Nikon makes camera equipment since 1917. Also it's not the first time that Nikon makes retro-inspired cameras. There was already the Df which is a DSLR version.

[@babyboy1971]

This is a hybrid of the FE and FM. I was 13, I had them both. 1984. I’m old.

Every since the OG X100 and XT1, I always told my self if Fujifilm would make a full frame version I would be 100% on board. Glad to see Nikon step up to answer that call.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

There are beautiful new vintage lenses available from Voigtländer for Z-Mount. Don't know why they don't get mentioned but they are a perfect match for the Zf in style, rendering, build quality. They have clickable aperture rings and are manual focus.

[@connormccaskill]

My buddy has those! The look amazing

[@Fapjockey101]

Not to mention the Nikon ZF has amazing software that integrates well with manual lenses

[@thisisbenji90]

As someone who shoots film regularly I feel that the Fuji profiles are a gimmick. Being able to slap vintage glass on my Zf and get the same field of view that I get on my fm2 is so much closer to shooting film than anything Fuji offers. Also, let’s be honest, 97% of Fujifilm “film simulation recipes “ just resemble badly exposed expired film. Full disclosure, I do own and use a X100V lol, but Astia is my favorite profile.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

Film recipes will be available when Nikon Imaging Cloud becomes available for the Zf (currently only Z6 III).

[@frickseerose6146]

Actually Nikon already has something similar for years. Its called Nikonpc (Nikon Picture Control) where you can download your looks to your camera. You can also tweak the looks to your own linking. Would be actually interessting what a fuji user things of it :)

[@PedroLauridsenRibeiro]

The actual inspiration for the Zf (and its elder APS-C brother, the Zfc) design is the FM2 (not the F2 or the F3), according to Nikon itself. This can be seen right at Nikon's Zf web page.

[@connormccaskill]

Ah yes the FM2. Absolutely, I was just saying that they were pulling design language from their film lineup. I wasn’t being specific

[@dennisjones5579]

I have both the Zf and x100v. I enjoy them both, however having been a long time Nikon user, I do lean more to the Zf

[@connormccaskill]

Oh interesting. Anything in particular you prefer about the Nikon?

[@dennisjones5579]

@@connormccaskill Yes, a few things.... first the retro look. It closely resembles the Nikon FE, which I purchased way back in 1980 and I still own. Second, the ability to change lenses. Although I like the 23mm/35mm FFE on the x100v, and I have the 28mm WCL, it's just not the same. Lastly, the Zf is just more fun to me to use and with the small rig grip, it's just more comfortable. I'm contemplating selling the Fuji, but can't quite take the step, since I do like it too and it was difficult to get and I pd well over retail to get it.

[@Roman.7287]

I hope Nikon recognizes what is possible and will soon release a firmware update for the flexible picture control profile and the imaging cloud. Both are currently only available for the Z6III, although these features appeal much more to the Zf user community. I myself came to Fujifilm 8 years ago as a Nikon user and have learned to love these film simulations and recipes because I prefer taking photos rather than spending time on the computer. I also prefer to have a consistent look straight out of the camera. Nikon has all the tools available. Now I just hope they realize what's possible. Otherwise they would really be missing out on potential. 

[@_Just_Some1]

The flexible picture control is available for the Zf.

[@Luigi13]

I have written a few times on some of the reviewers pages that Fujifilm should be wise for them to see the success of this Nikon ZF retro style being full frame how has caught the eyes of many photographers. Create one in this format with all the goodness that Fujifilm has in its crop frame bodies. I am certain that they will get a strong response from many photographers, and if they don't have immediate lenses for it make adapters sold with the bodies that will adapt Canon, Nikon, or third party lenses until they design their own. (My two cents).

[@nathansedlak7708]

I had an X100V and absolutely loved it. I sold it to fund my Zf. This was primarily because i use a Z8 as my primary camera and had a lot of Nikon glass. That being said, i still want to own a Fuji again someday and I’ve told many friends that if Nikon ever went out of business, i would go to Fuji. Both the Nikon zf and x100v are excellent. I think the one thing Nikon needs to copy is making the white balance recipe specific like the Fuji. That is the one hindrance to getting the Fuji recipes…other than the community mentioned in the video. Great video.

[@javierRcastro]

Nikon has come back to life . They have a long rich history with SLRs, DSLRs , and now they are up to date with mirrorless. They will never go out of business lol I’ve been shooting Fuji for 12 years and now just switched to Nikon . ( first camera was the d70 )

[@michamilka]

I have been shooting pretty much every Fuji camera and not once have I said I wish my Fuji was a full frame". I appreciate the small size of my cameras, and lets be honest 99% of people wouldnt be able to tell the difference between a full frame and a crop sensor photo. Im not here to pixel peep, im here to take photos and use a camera i enjoy carrying.

[@dvdaltizer]

The music, the location, the camera, the man... all classic and so fun to watch. Love this review. Here's hoping Nikon continues to advance this lineup and other companies follow suit!

[@connormccaskill]

I hope so too! It could be a great wave of new (old) cameras!

[@danieldavis6316]

Great video, nice pics. I think Nikon should make some more compact retro style lenses, similar to the sigma I series or sony's recent compact G lenses to better fit with the nikon z and zfc. Hopefully that will happen in the future!

[@connormccaskill]

Totally agree! That would flesh out the system

[@jon112media]

Id like to see the vid capabilities of this vs the s9 and x100vi. Thanks again connor! 🙏🏽

[@hamburg_solutions]

I've had the Zf for about 6 months and have been a lifelong Nikon user. I feel that your review was pretty much spot on especially since you had limited use of it. I absolutely love the camera but I'm also aware of its shortcomings I added a grip first and foremost and it made a huge difference and I like the flip screen integration as you can just close it to get the full retro feel. I also prefer using the screen instead of the joystick for moving my focus point. I too like aperture rings on the lens and luckily many of their other lenses have one (actually you can choose how it functions). You can use downloadable recipes in their picture controls so the bones are there just needs a few minor tweaks. Also, their implementation of manual focus is just outstanding with the eye detect.

[@connormccaskill]

Thanks for sharing your experience

[@tomworthjr]

Let’s get your thoughts on its video capabilities, please! I’ve been shooting talking head videos on my Fuji XH2S and also my Nikon Z6II. Just on tripods, nothing moving around. The look of the full frame footage just hits me in a better way, but I know the Fuji is “better” so I keep going back and forth. I can definitely see with my own eyeballs though, even the old Z6II looks just a hair better to my eyes. If I were walking around though, I know the stabilization of the Fuji would blow it out of the water. But honestly if I’m walking around shooting video, I’m using my iPhone Pro Max in those situations, like on vacations or going out and things like that.

[@billyoung9538]

Lenses matter, sensor size mostly only matters if there isn't a lens option to achieve the desired result or if cost is prohibitive. Full frame is best on wider angles up to around 50mm, at that point there are ways of getting equivalence out of most smaller sensors with the only real compromise being the bokeh size; however, how much bokeh is enough is highly subjective. If one is after human eye equivalence then only only needs to achieve a full frame equivalence of around f/2.2-f/2.8ish. That can be achieved fairly easily with APSC and to a lesser degree even with MFT with very fast lenses or focal reducers. If one wants unnatural bokeh drifting into the realm of Toneh levels then Full Frame and medium format are the bets options; however if one is doing super telephoto work then MFT and APSC are going to be the better options as they can achieve a much greater reach, and can still achieve excellent bokeh for a fraction of the price of Full Frame. As for people who want to make the sensor pixel size argument, that ship has pretty much sailed given the Alexa 35 is Super 35 ( roughly APSC) and has the highest dynamic range on the market currently. Every sensor is different , and the size of the sensor isn't as important is if the look of it is appealing to the individual using it. Choosing the right sensor & lens combo comes down to the situating and really knowing your gear.

[@darksiderahb]

As someone who went with the XT5 over the Zf, I hugely appreciate just how light the XT5 is and would not want to go with something heavier at this point. Even if certain features on the Zf have that Nikon reliability. Yes, I find the auto focus on the XT5 to be absolutely infuriating at times. And I do think it has the worst menu system ever, and that's saying something having used Sony's old menus. But...I just love the results I get out of the XT5. And because it's so small and light, I want to pick it up, take it everywhere, and shoot with it. And I've never felt like I'm getting an inferior result because I'm using an APS-C sensor. In fact, the files coming off this thing are HUGE. It's probably more megapixels than I need. But the quality of the images has been stunning. All that being said, I would love to spend some time with the Zf one of these days. It certainly looks like a beautiful and well-built love letter to Nikon's legacy of analogue film cameras. And I, too, hope more camera companies will try something like this. Could you imagine Canon making something like this based off their old cameras? That'd be pretty cool!

[@connormccaskill]

100%! I still love Fujifilm (a personal favorite is the XT3), but I do really like what Nikon has done with the ZF. Crossing my fingers for a retro Canon now!

Nicely shot review. You are missing the whole point though of the full frame sensor and mount is that it means your vintage lense collection, if you have one , now work as intended without the crop factor which especially makes wide lenses a bit pointless..

[@mdjmurray]

The screen. Why? Yes I get that it’s able to be flipped around and hidden which is nice, but on a photo-centric camera, the flippy screen is the wrong move. Most KZbinrs love it because hey, they’re KZbinrs and love looking at their own face. But photographers don’t need this and there are considerably more photographers than KZbinrs out there. I feel like Nikon didn’t realise this when they did their market research. Leica combined with Sony would be the best screen implementation. The usefulness of the latest Sony screens, paired with a simple LV (live view) button from the Leica M cameras. Turn it on only when you need to, otherwise keep it off, but with the articulation of a Sony. Sorted.

[@connormccaskill]

I REALLY enjoy looking at my face. I often don’t even record anything because I’m just staring at myself in the flip screen lol. In all seriousness, we just need the screen from the Sony A7R5 on every camera. Best of both worlds.

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Simple answer, the purpose of the flip screen isn't to vlog, but to close the screen and act like a film camera and not preview images while shooting.

[@sladjj]

@@chromaticvisuelle PFFF! No it's not! It would be if that camera was a rangefinder or had some sort of hybrid viewfinder. Don't fool yourself.... Nikon tried to appeal to every niche, and the flippy screen sucks for every serious professional.

Excellent review except the comment on the viewfinder and LCD. EVF - Zf: 3.69 millions dots. - X100V: 3.69 millions dots, XT5: 3.69 millions dots, so exact same thing. LCD monitor - Zf: 2.1 millions dots, - X100V: 1.62 millions dots, XT5 1.84 millions dots so the Nikon is actually much better. 3.69 millions for an EVF is standard across many brands but the LCD is clearly better, I actually have an old Z6 with also 2.1 millions dots monitor and I can tell its much better than other cameras when comparing with other brands .

Is a full frame sensor more forgiving than a smaller sensor, sure. But the size of the sensor does not make the photographer. Some sensors are all cut from the same cloth it's just matter of cost whether you want the APS-C sized version or the Full Frame version.

I find the menu system drawback as a total non-issue. As as Nikon shooter, when I picked up Canon and Fuji I found their menus confusing. It is all about familiarizing with the system. Also, I feel Fuji APSCs are just overpriced at this point. You can pick a used GFX 50r for 2000 dollars now, why would you buy a x100 series.

[@video-carl]

The af Nikon 40mm f/2 doesn't have a similarly sized equivalent on the X mount. Something like a 23mm or 32mm f/1.4 are both larger and heavier. But af-wise X mount has many more options

[@domtomas1178]

yeah it would need to be a 27mm f1.4. I've not seen anything like that from Fuji. At that size and price. In fact non at all. The Fuji 27mm f2.8 would be something like a 40mm f4 on full frame.

You forgot about the Nikon Df ... Fuji did copy that model ... it came out in 2013.

[@ftk-alt]

i use both sony and fuji. Fuji have many flaws including the AF system. Unless you shoot AFS, there isnt much issue. Aside that, some Fuji x apsc bodies have been a much smaller, lighter system compare to other APSC, FF, and even M4/3. For me, i will be using Fuji for more lighter/casual/not so serious pro work. Otherwise, the system on Sony is more reliable. Color wise, Fuji is definitely good if is outdoor, bright and sunny. Once you hit lowlight, in weird lighting conditions, Fuji can't perform well. i find this so frustrating after 4 years of using then i went back to Sony FF and it solve my issue. However, the new Fuji AFC did improve drastically (for my xs20) and i have been enjoy shooting since. Otherwise my Sony FF will do its job fine.

[@video-carl]

Interesting comment about this camera needing a community

[@andersblomster]

Hate to be that guy but your comment at 7:52 is a bit misinformed - it's a throwback to their manual lens designs where you had a metal ring (with color markings for depth of field) between the aperture ring and focus ring. But I do agree they should just let us have proper aperture rings on the lenses for this style of body. Nice video otherwise :)

[@connormccaskill]

Thanks!

[@TheWutangclan1995]

About the FF comment. The GFX is their answer to FF. People would only buy FF cameras because of the increase in resolution and detail. Instead of a slightly bigger sensor, how about a medium format sensor that's double the size, color, and quality eh?

[@connormccaskill]

For sure! But I would say that with medium format you pay a bit in sluggishness. FF seems to be a great compromise of speed and quality

[@enshongmiranda]

As a GFX user, the GFX is currently not close to an answer to FF. The general slowness (not just AF) of the system as well as the small selection of bulky lenses makes it not an answer to FF cameras at all. The image quality is amazing though.

[@shmvon]

Fujifilm doesn't make full frame cameras and never will because they have superior medium format cameras. What doesn't make sense it that their APC cameras and lenses are prices at or above full frame ones. In the same way, Nikon has largely abandoned APC as phone cameras do the job, which also makes sense, and unless you're extremely focuses on medium format work (some portrait or landscape photographers perhaps), full frame is going to be all you need.

[@BizonURS]

They still don't have beginner cameras for people to get into the system like canon r10,50,100, nikon z50 is 5 years old and their most promising model z5 still haven't been updated..I don't think they are going to build an eco system around zf style cameras.

Not a deal breaker since there are solid third party alternatives, but I hope they release some AF lenses with aperture rings in the future. The deal breaker for me though is the flippy screen for photography. I can't sacrifice the compact tilt style. If not for that I would have switched over for sure.

My x-t3 has a joystick, but I rarely use it. With the viewfinder, you can use the touchscreen for focus point selection, which is a lot faster than using the joystick.
