If NIKON had released something like this 1,5 years earlier, I'd probably never switched to Fujifilm (X-Pro3) as my second camera. I tried the NIKON Z fc first but was quickly convinced by the cheap feel and lightweight camera body not to buy it - felt like a toy and of course there is a significant price difference to the Fujifilm. But this new camera now fills in my opinion perfectly the niche.

Way back i was a Nikon D90 man but really wanted a smaller old style body and smaller lenses, all the Nikon glass that was any good was full-frame which kind of defeated the ASPC smaller body purpose. Frustrated I bought a Fuji X100 a year after it came out, fell in love, sold my Nikon, picked up the X-Pro1 and never looked back. If Nikon had this on the cards back then it would have taken a bit more saving up, but I don't think I would have jumped. It looks like they've hit it out the park in both style, function and as a homage to their old F series. All they lack is the excellent Fujifilm film simulations. I'm firmly an X-Pro3 shooter now, but if I ever left Fuji this would be what I'd pick up.

Nice to see it's got a dedicated video mode, I assume each mode retains separate settings (a hybrid camera is pretty much useless without that). Not been mentioned by any of the previews I've seen!

Not sure about the Zf, but the Zfc has seperate video and photo settings. You can customise the i-menu seperately for each too.

When I tried the Zfc for two weeks doing a bit of street photography, I always found it funny that it attracted more people to ask me if it was a film camera than my Z6 which nobody stopped and asked because they knew, so based on that, I'd say while the Zf/Zfc are great pieces, people WILL stop and talk to you, which is fine, but if you're looking for candid shots or perhaps want to fade in to the background, it may actually make it harder. Everyone is used to everyone using a regular "standard" digital camera (mirrorless or DSLR) like the Z6 or R6 or some Sony or whatever,but when you have a retro looking camera, I think it can draw MORE attention to you than you'd perhaps like as a street photographer, but again, it also does strike up some conversations too. I just found this is a bit odd though. I guess at least with either one, you do get a bit more of the street photographer look and feel though. I'm just trying to decide if I want to spend $2k on a Zf or just cheap out and get the Zfc (since I don't do a ton of street photography) and technically already have a Z5 (along with two of the higher end Z bodies) so the Zfc may be a bit duplication that I don't need. But the Zfc at $1000 might be a good compromise. (As for retro camras though, I think there was a rumor that Canon may be planning an AE-1 look-alike but perhaps something like an R6 or R8 internals, but in an AE/AE-1 style body).

These manual cameras mirroring what Fujifilm has done for years should also be made with the 45 megapixel sensor found in the Z8 and other cameras. That would be an excellent option, 24 megapixels is somehow a teaser until the larger count will be introduced, make it also the same LCD found on the Z8 body.

It looks like a great camera I have a zfc and I love it (except for the lack of Auto ISo on the knob) and Z z6ii I was waiting for the Z6iii But what will they be able to put on that to make people buy a Z6iii over a zf. That said, I will wait for the Z6iii (might be next year now)

Im very tempted, might just pop the pip back into my image taking, 35 years in the game and its all gone a bit flat, lets hope Nikon give us a few retro inspired lenses as putting Z glass on the Zf sort of defeats the point of it and whilst the 40mm looks nice and a good focal length a 24,25,50 and an 85 1.8 would go down very very well. Shame no joystick though for focus point movement.

Everything about it is super cool, but I do kind of wish they used the 45.7mp sensor, 24 is great, but 40 is really a sweet spot for landscape in my opinion.

Those cameras with swing out screens are an instant deal breaker for me because you can't use L-brackets with them. I guess the intent of this camera though is more for hand held street photography.
