People that take their camera out to lunch 😂 I love that you are always your silly self. Thank you for being a wonderful inspiration to me Omar 💚
I just bought the Zfc just for the way it looks. It has no place in my Fujifilm system. But this little Nikon has a soul and its growing on me that I have started to aquire Nikkor Z lenses for it.
Your videos are the best, so funny and yet detailed and very honest unlike some others does ! Keep up the great work !
Your reviews are a pleasure to watch, Omar. Absolutely fantastic, as the rest of the channel. Big fan, thumbs up! :D
Omar, this is the first time watching your videos, man I have to say you have a pleasant sense of humor! I enjoyed this video until the end. Thanks a lot.
Keep rocking it Omar! Your videos crack me up! Best wishes!!
Yay! I saw your post of this camera on insta and knew you were going to review it. I was on the fence with this camera but after seeing your fjui and nikon comparison I fell in love with the colors! This is my take to lunch camera. lol.
I just bought the Z fc and was a bit apprehensive due to so many referring to it as "plasticky". I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and discovered it's not as lightweight as I thought it would be. I love the camera. Great features and I like all the customization possibilities. It's my first mirrorless to add to my D500, D610, and D7100.
I'm interested in knowing how it compares to the D500 since it would be it's replacement. I find the D500 amazing but I need something lighter. I'm also considering the Z fc's brothers the Z50 and Z30 but leaning more toward the Z50.
definitely try out the picture controls! You can add film simulations similar to the fuji ones
@@markwornom1050 IMO...AF is inferior to the D500 in poor light, smarter but slower than the D500 in good light. For example, if you're tracking faces outside, then the Zfc works well.
The ergonomics of the Zfc really suck in my opinion. Not enough buttons, weird design choices, and a difficult to hold shape. The Z50 is much better here. Unfortunately, unlike the D500, none of the DX Z cameras are weather sealed.
10 FPS (continuous H extended) comes with a few limitations. The biggest one is that the viewfinder becomes a 10 FPS slideshow, rather than live updating between shots as in the 5 FPS continuous H mode.
Also, no dual card slots. But honestly, that's not something I really care about that much. I do care about the lack of internal flash, though. That's saved me a few times.
None of the DX Z cameras have in-body stabilization either, unfortunately (a feature all of the FX Z cameras have).
Any thoughts to share? How has been against the D500?
I’ve been reading camera reviews since the 80s. You are in the top-tier! Entertaining and informative, like good photography. New subscriber. Thanks!
I'm all about how a camera looks...and that Nikon looks AMAZING! Thank you for another fantastic video!
Love your videos Omar! You have a great sense of humor.
The Zfc looks so fun to use! If I shot Nikon, that would be the camera for me, no doubt!
Love your videos, always on point and entertaining, Warm Regards from Ireland !
Not only I get to hear your reviews but I also get a lot of laugh watching this video. Thank you for the laughs! I really enjoyed watching this you are so funny 😀
Still hoping/dreaming that Nikon will make a full-frame version of this. That and 2-3 of their 1.8 primes...heaven!
Will never ever happen. The Nikon Df was also DX. My godfather Ned Flemderson works for Nikon corporate and he told me Nikon would rather scratch there eyes 👀 out then make a Full Frame version!!!!! Get a Z9 is similar but has better FOS and 8k.
@@michael-4k4000 why not? It depends on if the zfc sells like hotcake => the zf would be another good money grabbing technique for nikon as well. ZF could just be a Z5 with a retro body.
Would appeal to all those who wish for a full frame Fuji.
@@michael-4k4000 the Df was FX, full-frame, not DX.
I own the df, it's a full frame sensor similar to the D4. Df doesn't use a dx sensor.
I've been comparing cameras for a basic carry - XE4 and zfc. Size is the big decision I am down to. The zfc has a minor lead because I own a z6ii.
It comes in an all black version. Also all sorts of fun colors.
As usual great video! you are a super funny too! Always great to see your reviews.
Nice impressions Omar! Subbed a few months ago, first time commenting. Love the way you do your videos, like talking to a friend. Keep up the great work and hope Nikon sends you a Z 9.
I have the Z fc, Z 6II and Z 9 and love them all. Will be curious to hear your Z 9 impressions as it probably is overkill for what you photograph but I’m confident you’ll have lots of interesting things to share about it after some hands on!
Thanks for sticking around!!
@@ogonzilla Absolutely, easy to stick around for all the enjoyable videos you make and dare I say the “edutainment” and inspiration!
I agree, this is the first video of yours I’m watching and I love the honest presentation
that selfie cracked me so much!! lol. awesome video.. I always wondered how the ZFc from Fuji User's perspective
Omar, you are right, wow that X-Pro2 Graphite version, it was spot on perfect. Amazing paint quality and with the matching 23mm f2 🤩😍🤤🤤🤤 In my opinion, the best color Fuji have made so far besides the regular black that I think looks very nice as well.
Oh man, I just loved this video and you are so right this camera is just as much about the looks as it is its actual performance and who am I to say I have any issues with that, I have a handful of vintage rangefinder and SLR cameras in my small collection. I think the only negative is lens selection at this time, not that you can't find decent 3rd party options but this is a street photography camera, a carry around fun type of camera. Thanks for sharing - Jeff
Great review and humorous as,always😁
dude! you always bring me to laugh my ass off, whilst sharing your honest thoughts, nice ! cheers to you
You took your camera to lunch omg I love it. ❤️
I just really wish that Fuji or Nikon will do us a solid and just be like, “here’s an actual new film camera..just for fun.”
It’s impossible for Fuji to do this due to the lack of the mirror.And if nikon would ever do it they will have to use their previous mount!!!Sadly Nikon discontinued their best film camera f6 back at 2020 😩
@@crystalous not necessarily
Nikon has made rangefinders before
A rangefinder z lens compatible film camera would be insanely cool
How many people were buying F6s in the 2010s? You could probably still find one new in box if you really wanted one.
If you want quality used or new Nikon gear then look at Grays of Westminster in London . I have used them over the years and can recommend highly .
I think they probably look at this and say "there are plenty of actual film cameras on the market so we won't bother" and there is probably some merit to that. It's likely that the costs would not be recouped since film photography is a bit of a niche market still even though it's making a come-back. Plus, I think I'd rather shoot a true film camera from the film days (especially one of Fuji's rangefinder style cameras) over a modernized film camera with all the bells and whistles of a modern camera, only that it shoots film. Too much technology IMO. But again, it comes down to cost and being able to make money off of it. And I don't think the market will ever be there (again) to justify it. If Nikon or Fuji did, I could see them making a premium camera but would probably charge a premium price for it and thus, probably wouldn't even pay for itself either because of the price to consumers, so really it's not feasible or justifiable from a cost standpoint any way you look at it given the niche market.
God I love the look. My dad’s nikon f2m is still in immaculate condition since the 80’s and I love that camera. Wished that this was FF or at least they had more primes such as 28 or 35. Weird that they only came out with this 40ish? Love the vid as usual mate. You might have tempted me to try it even though love my R6 😊
I bought this camera just now! Thanks for this video! Inspired me to buy it too!
Reminds me of fond memories and memory making I had with my Nikon FE2.
Loved that camera..
Miss it too...
Maybe I should take this FC to lunch like Omar has done...
Just discovered your channel and mate you're hilarious, love it. Great quality content, following 🙌🙌
Thank You for all of your videos that you did.
One of the features that I’ve come to live out of this camera that no one talks about is the ability to do Timelapse videos. Yes, time lapse videos-not interval shooting. I love that the camera automatically compiles the photos and processes them into a video.
The things I hate about it: limited lens environment and no aperture rings on the lens. Yes, you can use full frame z lens or use the F mount lens, but that puts a huge lens on a compact camera, which defeats the purpose of choosing this camera.
Ttartisans, manual lenses
I bought 'Ttartisans 35mm f1.4.'
If you can live without auto-focus & Exposure, it's great.
It's basically a fully manual Camera thereafter, digital film experience.
Focus peaking & 200% magnification aid in focusing on subjects.
The Zed-film-camera is really growing on me. I was surprised how light the body is!
I’d be all over it if I didn’t already have three Fuji cameras. Then again, if we didn’t have Fujifilm, would the Zfc even exist?
I completely agree. Love the "Fuji" dials but I already have that in my Xt3. Still...
true, becos of fujifilm, zfc existed but also because of nikon fm2, fujifilm existed the looks
tell me can we use our F mount Nikon DX 17-55mm f/2.8g lens and 85mm 1.4D with this fuji film camera easily with ftz2 adapter.?? Or this camera would have some limitations with F mount lenses.? I want to use it for professional photography only but not for videos
Remember that nikon already had the Nikon DF full frame, classic looking body not-mirrorless back on 2013. This is like a small sister to that camera. I don´t know what took them so long though
@@InnerLifePhotography Only AFS lenses will autofocus with the adapter. Older D type will not
Yep. Just a little better specs and I’d get one. Love the look. Held one briefly and liked the build too.
I have a bunch of Nikon cameras including my early film cameras the FG-20 which is really basic but makes me use the sunny 16 rule. Love the Zac with tan leatherette covering and the old school vibe. I enjoyed this segment, funny and educational , thanks..
I got an fc because one used basically open box popped up local for 500 usd body only. I got a 35mm Voigtlander f1.2 Z mount dx lens and that's basically my walk around kit. The Voigtlander talks to the body, so it works with manual focus indicators (the focus square turns color when it detects it's in focus) along with the obvious peaking and zoom options. You can use some of the custom settings to get dslr style focus trapping (hold the shutter down, move the focus ring, and the moment when the focus indicator turns green it takes the shot) that has gotten pretty good results for me so far.
That lens and the 27mm version in z mount are the reasons I bought the body (at the price obviously). They're both available for Fuji too I believe, but Nikon has the focus indicator which I've had great results with and really wanted in a solid manual lens to shoot like I used to with (d)slr's. I have serious doubt that Nikon will push any notable fast DX primes. They'll just release a handful of zooms and then the budget-but-solid smaller FX Z lenses will have to do for the Z50, Z30, and Z fc (this 28mm is an FX full frame lens, same with the new 26mm pancake). Not the end of the world, those are actually small enough to fit the bodies and there's already third-party lens makers coming out with DX Z autofocus lenses. A lot of people think Canon might put out a throwback design R mount camera, probably a rebodied R10 at this point. It could be a rebodied RP to claim they have a leg up on the Z fc and Fuji's with full frame, but the primary audience that actually makes them what little money they do for a camera like these throwback bodies are a better market with the cheaper amateur enthusiast bracket. Either way I wouldn't be interested personally with how they've locked down the R mount. If it were an open mount to let Sigma, Tamron, etc pick up the slack for APS-C lenses for fast appropriately sized primes (FF bulk and expense defeats the purpose of crop sensor outside) then I would have already bought an R7.
Then again if Fuji didn't flicker every time it goes back to wide open after focusing/taking a shot I would pretty much be content with that X-T3 for many many years to come. Most people don't notice it, I can't help but not notice after trying multiple times for weeks at a time. It ticks back to wide open 1 aperture click at a time creating a slight flicker along with a flash/flicker when focusing that gave me migraines. My MFT, Sony, Pentax, nor Nikon gear do this. Shame too, you buy a system for lenses, and I love the fujicron f2 lenses, the 27, 35, and 50 were good enough to be my kit. They feel great in the hand, the aperture dials are great, the quality for the price was great...but that stupid flickering :(.
This is the first camera body I ever preordered, and zero regrets so far. I just love it! I do agree with the handling though, it doesn't feel secured in your hand without the optional grip. If you're shooting short sessions, it works absolutely fine; however, if you're in a longer shoot, it becomes a bit more cumbersome to handle and your hands get tired. I also do agree with the plasticky feel to it0 My hope is that they'll be a full frame version that's better built and larger to make shooting for extended periods more comfortable (maybe IBIS too).
Excellent review, Omar!
I really hope they develop a full frame version of this. I wouldn’t mind one of these though for those quick run around town days. 😎📸
they do have a DLSR full frame in this same style but its a bit older- but you can look up the dF - used they're only 1500 or so...
@@joshuaconti989 that’s cool, but I meant a FF mirrorless, not going back to DSLR now that I’ve made the move. 😎📸
@@JasonLorette I was assuming as much =)
Nikon Zf incoming (if the rumors are to be believed ;) )
Your wish was granted finally! We now have a Nikon Zf.
Oddly enough, the Z fc stands for Fusion Casual. My hopes is the full frame version of this is the Z fp (for pro). Whatever they call it… if they came out with a full frame F3hp, Nikon would take all my money. lol
You can always get a Nikon DF. Used one.
Think it stands for Fused Classic.
*Fusion Classic.
Per Nikon’s press release, fc stands for Fusion Casual.
Great review. Man if it was full frame I'd buy one in a heart beat. Still tempted though as I love the retro looks
I bought this camera because it reminds me of my first camera which was the FE2. I had an issue w holding it as well & bought the grip which I then took apart & made a full size wooden grip. Other then the tiny sensor & plastic battery door I love it as my everyday camera. Cheers from Maui
My girlfriend has this camera and I have a go on it periodically and I gotta say, I do enjoy using it. It feels great, images look good and it's nice and snappy! Do like the shutter sound. I do wonder if they'll make a full frame version...
"some of us, we are a little shallow"
A quote has never resonated so well with me.
your charisma made me do something i hardly ever do. i pressed the thumbs up and subscribe button. Thank you! this was a fun watch and i smirked a lot :)) called me out on my own shit.
I have a Z6ii, and a bought a mint green zfc for me and my g/f to use out and about.
Yes you need the grip - mine is the Smallrig one.
I have thought about getting one of those leather cases.
I really enjoyed your thoughts on it.
So True and spot on! I'm only just getting into photography and often take my newly acquired Nikon Z fc (Amber Brown Version) and Fuji X100V (Silver & Black Version) out for coffee for all the reasons you say 🤣
Thanks for the intelligent review. I have my eyes on this Zfc for several reasons. I have a Nikon Df, the Prince of Darkness, and it's my favorite D series of all time. This Zfc would be my first mirrorless camera and it it's quite similar to the design of the Df. The Zfc sensor, pixel peeping the RAW files in DP Review, seems to perform maybe better than my APS-C Nikon D7100. Well, it is 9 years newer than the D7100. Progress there. And, best of all, the initials fc are my initials. "No, that's my camera, see those initials?"
I just got this camera so far I am in love.. we may go out to lunch soon
😅
To be honest I hadn't noticed that PASM switch before from product photos. Maybe that is a good middle ground for Fujifilm as well in order to please both crowds.
Thanks for the great vid. I really like the look of this but I'm a super fan of the X-t4. Is there a way to change the sound of the shutter so it's quieter? Also, how is the battery life compared to the X-t4.
Really nice system design. OBTW, you've got the Pal2Tech "thunk" when you drops stuff on the desk going here.
I'd be tempted to purchase this camera if it had a full frame sensor. The problem with nikon crop sensors is that they don't have a lineup of tiny super wide lenses to accompany them like fuji does with its crop sensor cameras.
Nikon seems to state that this ZFC isn’t a pro camera (cause you can have only kit lens and two prime “not so” fast). Fuji instead has a long story of development its APSC line up for professional use. It’s a shame because you can easily work “pro” with a crop sensor if you have fast and quality primes 😢. This is the only reason that keep me away from this design jewel … Nikon should consider a fast 1.4 prime set for this ZFC
Actually I opt for the zfc instead of the z50 because of the fully articulating screen and a better af and eye af in video also program the focus ring as the exposure comp on the 28mm lens - not to mention the looks 😀😍
The Nikon Zfc came out not too long after I bought my Fujifilm X100F. Had I known the Zfc was going to be released I would have waited and bought it instead of the Fujifilm; as the Zfc so closely resembles my beloved Nikon FM film camera. No regrets though the X100F is a great 'travel/grab and go' camera I'm very pleased with it. And it too closely resembles classic rangefinder film cameras..I've had people think I was carrying a film rangefinder camera. Kudos to Nikon though for creating a digital camera that has the look and feel of a classic film SLR camera. Maybe I'll spring for one 'just because'?
I know what you mean, having a hard time getting rid of older cameras. I still have the Nikkromat FT I first learned on, with its 50mm f2 lens. Then there’s my FE from 1981 and a 50mm f1.4.
I’m very interested in a modern digital that has the form and function of the old film cameras.
Thanks for your honest comments.
Hi Omar, nice video. I think it's great that you're also showing cameras from other manufacturers here. A question about the wallpaper on your iMac in the background. There is a photo or something similar on the packaging of my iMac from 2017. But so far I have never found the wallpaper anywhere to download. Where is it from? Did you photograph the packaging of the iMac?
Are you sure the evf just turns on, when its just close to your eye and not e.g. hanging around and being close to your body?
Does it actually recognize that there is an eye in front of the evf, or is just a normal distance sensor?
It really is a very pretty camera.
I do agree with the silver paint comment though. I wish it looked more premium.
Was it enough to make me move from Fuji though? No, not at all.
But, for the Nikon shooters out there, it's great to see that they have the option for this style of camera now.
As a past Nikon DF owner. The shutter mode switch is an achilles heel of the DF. On the Zfc it looks like they now have 2. Be careful not to hang up a thread under those tiny switches. One tiny bend and they'll function intermittently. Debris can be an issue to so try keeping the Zfc clean at all times. I wouldn't use this in sandy or dusty environments.
Only speaking as one who bleeds Nikkon, the Picture Control settings DO affect the RAW and can even be changed in the NX Studio RAW editor as can one customize and load them into the camera.
This is wonderful little camera and I do love taking it lunch - 😂 really has a retro feel and I enjoy setting my own speed and apertures on the dials.
Best one of these videos I've watched. Actually some character and loved all the pictures and video.
Do you have any thoughts on the ZFC vs Z50??
Hey Omar...I am really happy that I have found you.
Wow. Very nice video! I just bought one of these, and felt guilty because I already own 2 Nikon DSLRs and 3 Vintage Film Nikons (FE, FM2 and F100). I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks of my cameras like little "people" that I like to hang out with! My ZFc is definitely my new "little buddy!"
Thanks for another great video Omar! Had a thought for a video - I’d be really curious to hear your take on camera operating systems. As in, the look/feel and usability of (for example) Nikon versus Fujifilm in terms of how their menus are laid out, and how dated the graphics and fonts always seem to look, even on brand new cameras…!
The best user interface that I have used has to be Panasonic lumix. I've tried Nikon, canon, Fujifilm, sigma and everyone knows about how horrible Sony is. With Panasonic you can make a custom af pattern even a smiley face 😀
The wearing a camera around your neck is such a classic at photography conventions and exhibitions. I've noticed that it's 99% Leica owners that do it.
Omg Omar u got the Zfc? Am so happy for u! This camera is a true “gamechanger”! Gear is best when is new and expensive! U know what I’m talking about big guy! Do you ever watch Sam Kolder? He’s better then Jared a Polin!
I love the old retro style cameras, I love the look of the Nikon especially if the eye autofocus is good. The only reason I would hesitate is the len choice.
You kill me, great stuff, I had the Nikon DF and want it back ... your XT3 is kinda like my old Minolta XD-11, set all to the green and yur good to go. Cheers!
Wondering if one of the best reasons to buy a Nikon Zfc over a Nikon z30 is the EVF included. Wondering if you use the EVF a lot, and that it helps in bright light, or how often you use the back LCD instead and is the LCD bright enough in sunny outdoor weather? What is your opinion?
Me shallow so might get one by thanksgiving '22 (price might drop by then?). I have the OG Z6 so I think it would be good to have a 2nd Nikon and they can share lenses. Always good to have the Omar perspective. Like the shutter sound btw, seems quite unique and retro-y.
Love Your Videos.This Camera is the Reason,why im change to fujifilm.
Is it a good camera for someone that will use it mostly for vlogging but wants something that can double for taking on vacation and getting nice pics?
Thank you, im considering buying either a fuji or nikon and dont know which is better price/quality wise.
Im not yet committed with a full range of lenses so im free to chose.
Zfc ? Xs10 ? Xt20 ?
Thanks! I really wanted to love this camera because it's gorgeous but compared with Fuji cameras it's too disappointing in my opinion. Still it's a great choice for casual photographers who want to feel like Meyerowitz during a lunch break and there's nothing wrong with it
I got mine today! Nikon refurb sale :-) After about 20 test shots outside this afternoon, already loving it! My first 35mm film camera was a Nikon FE, so, yeah, the looks matter to me. (I still have a one black and one silver FE.) Yes, the image quality is excellent, even with the 16-50 kit lens. The 28mm is arriving in a few days.
My wife has the Zfc and 28mm as a fun camera and I have X100v and totally agree with you on the silver finish. I hope that one day Nikon do a full black version like my little Fuji. One of the reasons why I bought the Fuji was that I wanted a camera small enough to slip it in my suit or coat pocket for work in the city so understand exactly what you mean about the Zfc size. That said, my wife does have a full black leather case and wow that little Nikon looks sexy😍
I really like what Nikon have done with this and it truly does hark back to the film camera days and looks like a fm2 which isn’t a bad thing.
Great review Omar 👍👍
They just released a full black version; although, you can only buy it directly from Nikon, kind of like a special edition batch.
tell me can we use our F mount Nikon DX 17-55mm f/2.8g lens and 85mm 1.4D with this Fuji Film mirror less camera easily with ftz2 adapter.?? Or this camera would have some limitations with F mount lenses.? I want to use it for professional photography only but not for videos
Buajajajaja, I love this review !! I definitely will go to lunch with my Z fc next time. Yes that's the point, this one if for retro fans like me not professional photographer but I seriously love my gear. So when I saw this one on the store I run to sell my Sony to get this one and I love it ! Thank you to make a fun but great review !
I would highly recommend purchasing the Small Rig grip for this Zfc body it improve the handling and grip of this camera and is made to the highest standard
ZED fc mk2 looked stunning, I'd buy that ;)
I just had to buy one, I made breakfast for mine this morning, French toast with melted butter and powder sugar.......yes soooooo good. I agree on the silver plastic paint however Nikon did come out with a black one replicating their black film bodies. You could only purchase it from Nikon USA but I already had mine. I did get the small rig tan leather case, so cool looking and I also got the small rig grip which is amazing and so secure however it doesn't work with the leather cover so there ya go. I bet if Nikon makes a full frame version it will be popular so there goes another $1000 out the window. but wait, its Father's Day....nope con't use that excuse , I already used it for the Nikon 400 4.5 Z lens. Lets see 4th July? Thanks again Omar for another interesting video. ted in Sebastian, Fl
I was thinking about buying this camera, but I decided to buy the Fuji film X - S 10 and I don't regret it. I think the one thing that this camera lacked was in body stabilisation. And come on 20.9 megapixels is in adequate. Given that the Fuji film cameras also have around 26 megapixels which I think is a beautiful sweet spot for cameras as it gives you that detail and can allow you to do landscape photography but not have file sizes through the roof I think around at 26 to 30 megapixels is perfect. And this comes out in the images as well. Where is I think 20 megapixels is almost smart phone territory. Look it's not a bad camera. I don't think I actually picked one up in a store and held it and played with it for about 15 minutes, but the Fuji film gear just won me over and I don't regret my decision and I think it's unfortunate for Nikon as they were trying to do this the right thing, but I just think they needed to do it properly and I know they tried to keep it cheap and it in body stabilisation probably would've added three or $400 worth of money to the camera, but I think that's money that people would happily spend and if you look at the Z cameras they do anyway
I have one too. I think it's really designed for the kit lenses. They're very small and very sharp. The downsides are the lens selection on DX isn't great, leading you to third party solutions that are often manual focus. But there is something weird about the exposure metering. It's been totally off sometimes compared to Fuji which does it great.
Viltrox z apsc to the rescue
Does this camera have a self sensor cleaning mode or option?
I would like to see you publish a series of pictures, with different lenses, different angles of the George Washington Bride.
I think that bridge is a piece of art.
I received the Zfc as a gift last year and I really love it. I’m a wedding shooter with two Z9’s so this is great for travel, street casual shooting.
I really hope they do a Zf mirrorless version of the Df. BTW, you should rent a Df and have some fun with that for a future video.
Ah, the ZFc, the perfect gift for the person that already have a stable of Z9’s😄
Hey. Can I shot with Zfc for wed photo and video? And promotion videos
Reminds me of my Df, and has a lot of the same interface decisions that frustrated me there too… that said, it is a faithful companion, and my only digital F body right now. But my FM and F100 will keep it company. And my Z6II 😸
Born and bred native NIKON boy here🤪 ……..enjoyed your take on the ZFc from a Fuji fanboy’s point of view👍 Think NIKON May have been looking over at what Fuji has been doing right?
Hey Omar, from where did you take that shot over Weehawken and the stadium looking across the river? Is that from the hotel parking deck at Port Imperial? Interesting comparison here. I think I'm still biased on the Fuji side a bit, but the Zfc is cool. Have a great week!
I haven't extensively use the Zfc, but aesthetically wise I like it. Kinda resembles Nikon FM2. Actually that's one of the reason why I'm still happy with Nikon Df, which also resembles FM2. The difference is of course one Zfc is APSC, while Df is FF.
Given Zfc lens roadmap, guess I'll stick with Fuji for APSC system. Nope, I'm not a big fan of using FF lens on APSC crop bodies. Crop factor is annoying...
Being able to close the LCD screen is one of my favorite things about the X-T4. I get to save battery with the proximity-activated EVF and protect the LCD from scratches. Plus it just looks cool and slightly less conspicuous.
I got a xt4, not ready for an upgrade but would like to know what full frames are notable upgrades from the xt4?
Fun! Aways key! I see you use the A7C and Zv1 for RUclips and Vlogging. Would you consider this as well? Enjoyed your overview!
How is the zfc built quality compared to Fujifilm? Hope Nikon does a full frame fc
They need to make like 3 or 4 of these retro-looking lenses. Maybe a 14 and a 55 to go with this 28. And make them f/2. The 2.8 is dark for a crop sensor camera.
I got the Z50........because I had no idea the Zfc was coming out. It does have excellent image quality.
Wait untill you Zee (hehe) the Z9 jpegs! Man I was blown away with those files when I got to try the camera.
