The Nikon Z fc is designed in the style of one of the greatest 35mm cameras of all time, the Nikon FM2. And while the Z fc looks like an FM2, does it live up to the hype?
I had the opportunity to spend a week filming with Nikon Z fc Recently, and as a Fujifilm user, I’m interested in whether Nikon has a retro mirrorless camera comparable to the X-T4’s form, function, and usability. are not. I used the Z fc with both the 16-50mm kit lens as well as the Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.8 . Lens and found both positives and negatives about cameras and lenses. The biggest and most interesting surprise is how well the autofocus system in the Z fc works as well as the menu system. Since I haven’t shot with a Nikon in a couple of years, I found the layout and menus to be great and much more intuitive than I remembered. However, I did have some issues regarding the kit lens, build quality, and the lack of an aperture ring on the lens, which I feel falls short of the overall user experience. In the accompanying video, I give an overview of my impressions of the camera and discuss whether it is essentially a gimmick for retro photography enthusiasts or a real endeavor. by Nikon to build a user base that loves craft-inspired cameras. Thank you my photographer friend Alex Burns lent me his Z fc for this review.
