Nikon ZF vs ZFC

[@johnmorgan2677]

Lovely done video, good to see someone who is not a so called influencer. I bought a Z5 & 24-70 f4 S & it is so much lighter. Have been shooting Fuji for 10 years & prefer the system even though I have been a Nikon guy for 60 years. Enjoy your hobby whatever it is. Thanks from Canada.

No I wouldn’t spend 2000 dollars extra for the Zf because I already had a Z5 and my trusty D700. So full frame is covered but I had a number of DX lenses from my D300 so I opted for the black version of the Zfc which I bought used from Japan. I also bought the 24 F1.7 as a walk around lens 35 mm on full frame was always my go to lens. So in DX I have 10-400mm covered which suits me fine. I didn’t realize the Zf was that much bigger and heavier until last week when I was able to compare them side by side. Good review and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I also recently bought a tilt shift adapter so I can use full frame lenses on the DX sensor for more movement. So I’m quite happy with the Zfc being lighter as well so it’s become my main camera.

@@gerryhardman9060 I’ve gone back to my trusty Canon M6 mkII for portability. An oldie but a goodie. In the aspect of weight, I regret letting my Zfc go…

“And yes, I spend money on my hobbies.” 😂 - I’m looking between the two, and wondering if the full frame ZC is worth the extra. Thanks for your video (:

I’m going to be perfectly honest and say that I haven’t used my ZF much because it is so heavy to lug around. If portability and weight is a factor for you, go with the ZFC, it’s capable of a lot of things that the ZF can do

@@Omegaverse_21 oh yeah? Thank you for your suggestion. As I will be using it for mainly video content, do you feel the “full frame” aspect makes any difference?

[@Omegaverse_21]

@@MoonNewin I don’t think it does tbh, as long as you’ve got a wide enough lens for what you want to capture. I must say though, that the ZF’s subject detection is better than Zfc IMHO. You can tell the difference. But again, it will depend on what you are filming. Right now, I’ve gone back to my Canon M6 mkII for vlogging, which is a 5yr old camera, does the job and is much more portable than my ZF.

@@Omegaverse_21 thanks for YMHO. ^^ I’m really having a hard time to decide if it’s worth the extra $$$ 😆 and what is your Nikon ZF doing, looking gorgeous on your shelve, I suppose. 🥲 the aesthetics got me at awe too, TBH. 😂🤦🏻

@@MoonNewin I’m waiting for my Canon M6 to die, then I will replace it with the Zfc, and yes, my ZF is pretty on the shelf, I take it out once in a while to shoot photos

Good video however the tap test not the same. You tapped the rear plastic screen on Zfc and body on Zf
