In this video, we take do a shallow dive into the NEW Nikon Zf. Is it really a Fujifilm killer? How is the build quality compared to the Nikon Zfc? Can you shoot events with the Nikon ZF? Is the camera worth it? We discuss.

@@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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!

Of course Nikon perfected the actual manual controls on SLRs back in the 60s and 70s.

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!

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).

I’ve been using Z6 for years and I recently bought a Zf! However, I’m experiencing an issue with the camera. No matter what lenses I use, if I use a manual mode, photos taken look a half to a full stop brighter. I don’t see this problem only when I’m taking photos in auto mode. Is this just my camera, or am I missing something? Anyone who knows how to address this problem? Any help would be appreciated!

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 Fro over exaggerates on the Nikon. What do you expect from a Nikon hater. You know what they say about the Fro who has small hands and small feet. He still can't figure out how to use a Nikon Mirrorless Camera

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.

I heard that my old AF-D lenses won't autofocus with the FTZ adapter, which is a bummer but I do love everything else I see about this camera. I think I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this one as it seems destined to be a classic.

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.

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
