The Zf has been a massive win for me. Such a bloody good camera.

[@cpyoutubes]

The best thing about adapting older lenses or manual focus lenses is the subject/eye tracking while in manual focus and the ability to punch in for focus on the Zf!

[@ogonzilla]

YES...forgot to mention that..

[@ufukkiblat]

@@ogonzillacan you try Sony/Sigma E lenses with aperture ring? If you have smart E to Z adapter.

[@giuliamocristi1021]

Hello! I have a question. can this camera record 4k 60 externally? For redundancy atomos ninja v?

[@cy9nvs]

As a Fuji user who recently switched to Nikon, this camera is really intriguing. Z8 for wildlife and Zf for Macro and basically everything else, where the huge Z8 would be out of place.

[@weiyang6417]

No one talks about being able to flip and hide the screen. I find this very appealing

[@rem792]

Fair point but that's probably because it's a feature that has been around for many years. I remember having it on my D5100 and it wasn't a new feature then either.

[@just_A_Hack]

It's my favorite thing about the fully articulating screen lol

[@tdalton854]

I do too.

[@rem792]

It's great if you like fully articulang screens, saves battery and protects the screen but I have moved on to tilting screens, suits me better because I mostly do photography.@@just_A_Hack

[@wymanair]

Would be more effective if it had a joystick…..

[@domtomas1178]

Hey Omar, thanks for all the comparisons. I'm a fuji shooter (X-Pro 2), but the Zf is definitely on my shortlist. It's the Fuji XT but with Full Frame. Just wish the lenses had a shutter dial. But a few of the Voigtlander lenses look very good with this.

[@3akoscielski]

You might be able to map the focus ring to be a shutter dial or other kind of dial. I haven't tried, but it might be possible.

[@ufukkiblat]

You can use smart E to Z adapter and use Sony/Sigma E lenses with aperture ring. I think that’s a better choices than using adapting F lenses. Hopefully soon Sigma will release more Z mount lenses.

[@mrnicelynicely1]

Cameras like the Zf are why my love affair with Nikon has endured for more than 40 years, bless Nikon for giving us what we want.

[@nitni0002]

Fujifilm killer, especially after Fuji abandoned their kaizen philosophy

[@drakeydrake1076]

That's an overstatement. Lol killer? Nikon's colours are not on par with Fuji. How come this new camera is a "Fuji killer"? Because it is full frame and got the retro looks? Lol superficial

[@romanpul]

@@drakeydrake1076Depends how you define color. When you‘re shooting in raw, the Zf blows any X-line Fuji away easily in terms of color richness and dynamic range

[@nitni0002]

@@drakeydrake1076 sounds like I ruffled your feathers lol. As an xt20 and xt5 owner, the Nikon Zf is the Fujifilm killer. There were three things that Fuji had going, over the competition: retro controls, Fujifilm jpeg colors, and kaizen philosophy for older cameras. Fujifilm has completely abandoned kaizen, not adding features to older cameras via firmware. Fujifilm was the only manufacturer that did retro controls right. It's not about the looks, it's about the functionality of retro controls. Nikon has caught up. Fujifilm JPEG colors are amazing. But I want to shoot raw. And when I shoot raw with Fujifilm, I'm pretty much required to use Fuji's crappy software with my camera plugged in. Otherwise I'm compromising quality when converting Fuji raw files with any other third party software (I own C1 and LR). C1 does a better job but it's still not as good as using Fuji's software. Don't get me started on the x trans sensor files in raw converters. AF on Fuji is slower and less accurate. Fuji owners are the most out-of-focus tolerant photographers I've ever encountered. Lenses are good, but on par with any major manufacturer. Apsc sensors are always inferior to full frame counterparts of the same generation. So what's left with Fujifilm? It's chic and stylish. Sounds superficial to me lol.

[@kaminobatto]

Congrats, I pre-ordered mine but still didn't get a chance to pick it up yet as I opted for in-store collection. I live using this exactly as you mentioned, with the screen tucked in. However, if you miss the joystick, you can always map the rear screen to move focus points, which is terribly useful. You'll just end up with a lot of fingerprints! Enjoy!

[@JHL1994]

I just love that Nikon went with the magnesium adamentium vibraneum alloy for the top plate, it really gives this camera a beautiful feel to it

[@Prakiie]

I think Nikon’s system regarding the shooting style and dials is actually extremely smart. It allows you to switch between modes super fast without having to tweak every dials each time. Saves you a LOT of time and makes user experience much smoother. Well done Nikon !

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Annoying nerd alert, little mistake, nIkon has a 40mm f2 not f2.8 :P

[@ryankwan1934]

I don't think it's fair to compare the Nikkor Z S-line lenses to the smaller Fujinons. The Z 50mm f/1.8 S and Z 85mm f/1.8 S are basically laser beams. You have to shoot them wide open to get *any* aberrations. The Fujinons...not so much.

[@lpd13doc1]

I bet the Z mount Voightlander lenses would go very well with this camera. The 35 and 50 F2 APOs are awesome. I'd like to try the 40mm f1.2 Awesome camera!

[@craigcarlson4022]

Omar, Nice quick overview. I've recently made the 100% switch from Canon to Nikon. Have had the Z50 and multiple DX lenses, several Z FF lenses, briefly owned a Z6ii, and expected I'd be great with a ZF. Looked forward to the flippy screen and better IBIS. Loved the Z6ii files when i had one earlier. Put my pre-order in the first morning it was announced. Ten days ago our regional Nikon sales rep was at an area dealer with the camera so I went to check it out. While I would have preferred a Z6iii, given we'll have a longer wait for that, I was prepared to go with the ZF. I didn't expect to have issues with the ZF's ergos. (I've owned a number of Fujis and was good with those.) But when I actually laid hands on it, I was surprised at how negative a reaction to its body shape I had. It does feel very solid. But it is VERY hard to hold comfortably, even with the SmallRig accessory grip it still feels like it might slip from your hand. You feel the need to cradle it in your left hand, or you end up really squeezing it with your right hand. Contributing to the problem is that the leatherette covering is not the usual grippy material, but some slippery, more plasticky feeling material. The lack of any sort of bumper or edge on the back (to help cradle your thumb) is also really missed. Sooo, I cancelled my pre-order. Not sure what I'll get...buy a used Z6ii, or wait for the Z6iii? Moral of the story - Get your hands on one before buying from a place you can't return it to.

[@richardhaw9757]

the Zf is fantastic, the subject detection with manual lenses is so good. as somebody who repair lenses, this is something that helps give me more enjoyment out of my adapted lenses from moree than 50 years ago.

[@angumotzfeldt3093]

Turns out the successor to Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a Nikon..

[@davemenard5089]

Better looking than any of those Fuji ones. Thanks Nikon

[@SlickyJeffy23]

I have a z7ii and this is so TEMPTING just for the autofocus...should I do it? LOL I mainly shoot Portraits/events for my paid shoots..I DONT NEED IT I WANT IT UGH

[@RaymondParkerPhoto]

Mine arrives next week! Can't wait. Thanks for the excellent preview and comparisons. My intro to mirrorless was Fuji X-Pro2 (which made nice photos but didn't ultimately live up to expectations). I now have 2 Z6s, a Z8 and Z9. The Zf will be my "every day" camera. Have a Z 40mm f/2.0 waiting to, er, hook up.

[@lucasschmitzdossantos7362]

I'm dying to get a retro look like camera and the only thing that is getting me alway from fuiji is the APS-C sensor. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do love FF cameras. This Nikon is going to be my next one, for sure.

[@malekith13]

Hey Omar, on the ZF you have an option to use part of the screen as a joystick, it may not be as great as a true joystick ( especialy if you use you camera screen closed ^^ ) but it's still a nice thing to have.

[@RaphaelMatto]

I had my hands on this camera in a store yesterday & I couldn't quickly figure out how the ISO dial works. There's a "C" setting that I heard someone call "Control," that I was hoping to map to Auto (like you show in the Fuji system), but the camera had an internal auto-iso setting ... & if that was set, nothing you set the dial to did anything, even C. Pretty confused, could d/l & read the manual, but imo it's pretty crazy confusing coming to it from a Z6. I tooootally agree with you abt the shutter speed dial in A mode, I'm getting older & forget stuff, that would drive me bonkers. I also don't love the 1/3 shutter spot, since I prefer adjusting in 1/2 stop increments on my Z6. Actually, I wish you could set it to full stop increments, so it better matched things during the film days & you could move quickly. I thought I was going to love & buy this camera, but somehow they messed up the controls so much it's 100% a deal-breaker for me. Why couldn't they just copy Fuji. Maybe next time, sigh.

A totally different review, like an ergonomic review. Very important because it complements the rest of the videos. We seldom see a video like this one with good production, including audio. As I said it's not better than Matt Granger's preview with a photoshoot, AF comparison etc, it's complementary.

[@sdhute]

Outside of the Nikon 26mm, 28mm, 40mm. Manual lenses to keep the size down is what I will be looking for.

[@stoiCasey]

There seems to be a bug at 14:28: Zf can shoot 420 10bit instead of 422 10bit. This camera is selling like crazy in China. I've been waiting in line for half a month since I ordered it.

Hola Omar, como estás? te sigo hace muchisimo tiempo, y queria agradecerte por cada video que he visto y todas tus reviews y fotos que son hermosas!!! te queria contar que tengo una D700 que uso para trabajar en estudio, es una bestia!!! pero lo que mas me gusta es caminar con la camara y me cuesta mucho sacarla en la calle por el tamaño y el peso que tiene. Asumo que en parte es una excusa , pero entiendo que usaste una D700 y podrias saber de que te hablo. Me gusta hacer one handed , llevar la camara sin correa de a ratos y , claramente el peso se nota muchisimo. Me gusta tambien hacer retratos. Y me gusta viajar. Uso el 50mm el %99 de las veces. Pero deseo un 24-70 o algo por el estilo. Estuve viendo en hacer una inversión a Mirrorles, mas precisamente una Nikon Z6, y eso abarca algun lente al menos. y por lo pronto sería para hacer street photo ( quiero aprender mas en esa área) y experimentar cosas nuevas, algun dia probar alguna grabacion, etc...pero entro en discusiones filosóficas de si realmente vale la pena gastar eso , o comprarme una D90 liviana y salir con esa cámara y ya... si tuvieses que darme un consejo, que me dirias? disculpa por el texto, creo que me vas a entender. muchas gracias!!!!

[@philipcooper8297]

I think Fujifilm perfected the manual controls for that ''retro'' feel. Very intuitive, very efficient. That being said, this new Nikon Zf is just beautiful.

[@ianroe1076]

The controls of this camera seem to offer Fujifilm-like dials but with a bridge so that people used to PASM aren't alienated.

[@marike1100]

Of course Nikon perfected the actual manual controls on SLRs back in the 60s and 70s. But I actually think Olympus did it better with the OM series by having the shutter speed dial around the lens mount - it’s brilliant you literally do not have to take the camera away from your eye to manually adjust SS.

[@andykphoto]

After using an XPro1 since release, and the Df ( and D200, D3s, and now a Z6ii) I have to say I like how their controls work on (d)slrs, but the Fuji auto modes interface with the retro style is more intuitive. To me. But, I do LOVE my non-retro styled Nikons. It’s too easy to make them lie to you with the retro interface/dials.

For Nikon to have introduced a camera with no Custom User Setting banks is totally wacko! No matter how good the rest of it is, that omission makes it pure amateur. Grips are readily available and some work well and look awesome but the boneheaded, greed driven omission of Custom User Settings is just mind boggling. Any respectable DSLRs introduced since the early 2000's had multiple memory banks. C'mon ...even the ZFC has 2 User Memory Banks. This is just stupid!

[@HR-wd6cw]

I think Nikon's next step is to make a Z1 or Z3 that's like the X-Pro series.... but FF. I supposed for the rear LCD if you really felt like you had to, you could cut out part of a film package and tape it to the back of the LCD (like some people did with their film SLRs to remind them of what film was loaded (although doing so may make it harder to put the screen flat with the LCD facing you). I would say that while the Zf has a smaller grip, I think Nikon made the right choice by making it smaller, and then letting the user add a third party grip (like the Smallrig grip) later, but not force people to have a specific grip (some may prefer little to no grip actually) so the idea that they made this a "choice" was probably a good one. I would probably get the Smallrig grip if I get a Zf for the times when I want to use larger lenses, although I never found the grip on the XT20/XT30 to be a problem with reasonably sized lenses (like the XF 55-200) when I had it. The only people that might find the small grip a problem would be people trying to carry around larger lenses by just the grip, in which cas iwould say you should be using a strap instead (like a Rapid strap or something that connects to the lens itself). There's also a thumb grip you can get that fits into the hotshoe, like you can get for some of the Fuji cameras. I am a bit puzzled why Nikon didn't want t oput a joystick on the Zf. I know it was probably to keep it as retro as possible, but I think that would have been an acceptable departure (those who don't like to use it can just ignore it).

One of the best videos on the Zf that I have viewed. And I really all the closeups of the function dials. I did notice on my Z5's that the lower button on the back is also lower than the other three. I don't care for the battery compartment and memory card slot combined and on the bottom. Nikon does that with the Z50 and it's the only thing I dislike about my Z50 and Z30. I like the Z5 having dual card slots, although I really haven't had a true need for it for my work. Your comment about lenses compared to the Fuji - I have the 28mm, 40mm full frame compact Z lenses. I also had the 24-50z. Although they are not "pro" version lenses, they are sharp and compact - and reasonably priced! Again great video, but will I buy one - No. My Z5's do me right.

The leatherette on the top prism section is exactly like the Nikon FE/FE2 which its design pays homage to and looks identical to. Nikon going "retro" of its own SLRs of the past would not have it any other way. Also worth noting about build quality, the top dials are made of brass, so years down the line it will age beautifully, just like the FE did with it's brassiness when the paint wears down, another true retro nod to It's heritage.

[@jaapkamstra9343]

That's weird: why would you put the lens release on the left side? Then you have to push the button and rotate the lens with the same hand.....and yeah: the ergonomics of the screen are not great. And i don't like that there are so many colours on the top. A shame: like retro camera's But I would not buy this one.

You'll want a grip especially when using a heavier lens, it becomes very front heavy and with no grip, its a pain to hold

Awesome, I can't wait for mine to get here! It appears the influencers are first in line to receive it. I look forward to your reviews!

Nice, with voigtlander 50mm f1, 😊❤

[@RichCatelli]

Love it

This camera would be perfect if the back was the same as the Fuji XT cameras. I just hope 1 day they add a customizable d-pad, joystick and non flippy screen, everything else is perfect!! And also their own film simulations like Fuji

[@stephanhamdi1463]

Offer me one of your camera PLEASE .. Not gonna happen ! I know .. Anyway

[@sottosopra4769]

This camera shoot in 420 and not 422. In 2023 Nikon is still not able to put a 422< Ridicolous

Omar, you are killing me! I am not made of money, but here I go again. I have some nice Z glass, so ...

[@drewenriquez2001]

Wow thank you! Youre the only youtuber who asnwered my question about nikon and fuji 😂

[@Harryontwowheels]

Thumbs down because I have to wait at least two weeks until I‘ll receive my pre-order. Double thumbs up for putting the Fro in the Video 😂 Have fun with your Zf! Regarding small lenses … I am going to adapt Voigtländer M-Mount Lenses on my Zf. And probably I‘ll have a look at the Techart AF Adapter. If this Adapter works, I‘ve found my dream combination. AF if I need it and Mf only for the majority of time. I admit … I am addicted to Focus Tabs :D

14:53 I think you are mistaken that the body has a vibranium top. Nikon is very much into vibranium reduction.

[@Chazyfizzlez]

Guess I’ll wait for the zfii. Lack of joystick is a deal breaker.
