Z fc

I bought this as a extra body when I wanted small and light. I have a Z6, D4S and a D750 I use the others for Rodeo and motor sports but this is really nice. I only have the 16-50 in DX and might get the 50-250 soon. It is very easy for me to use (30 years of film cameras) and I felt right at home with this. I got the Small Rig hand rest for it right away and that is what it needed as I have large hands. Nicely laid out and very intuitive to use. Image quality is as good as my Z6. It now lives with me all the time.

A wonderful camera for those times my D850 is just too big or too heavy!! Excellent image quality. Did add a third party "grip" that adds a better finger hold on the right side that makes handling PERFECT!! "Kit" lenses are both amazing!! Recently took this image of the full moon from my front yard with the Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR ... and I find it amazing!!

I have been an enthusiast for 50 years and wanted a camera with the look and feel for my FE2 or my my FM2/T, the Z fc delivers. I do miss film but also like the fact that I get immediate, high quality results.

i can do everything i want to. i shoot mostly macro so the easy to carry and weight is something i considered. all the controls i want are easily available either directly or through the "i" menu.i had to buy the 100 mm z macro lens which i am still playing with- more on that later but so far i love it. i have as yet to put it on my microscope and do stacked focus micro photog. i am impressed that it will do automatic stacked focus! pretty amazing for something that looks and feels like an FE2 (which i loved).

I purchased this camera in late June, but due to health and mobility issues have not been able to take many pictures with it at this point. The retro design intrigued me as I own a substantial number of Nikon film cameras including the FM series. The familiar feeling that it gives me bodes well for the use that I will get out of it. The only issue that I have is that the FTZ Adapter II was out of stock at the time of purchase. When I inquired through Nikon Purchasing Department, a few days later as to whether I could get the Adapter at the sale price when they became available, I was given an ambiguous answer which did not tell me if I would get the sale price or not. I also noticed just after I purchased my camera there was a significant price drop for a short period of time that I obviously would have taken advantage of if I had been notified of the sale as I was still in the return period of my purchase. This is not a condemnation of the product, but more of an observation of Head Office practices. I will be contacting the Purchasing Department again to see if I can get the Adapter at the sale price, and hopefully, we will find a satisfactory resolution. To put things into perspective, this is not my first Nikon Digital Camera. I had owned the D90 and the 300S, and I currently own a D750 with 5 or 6 different lenses, which I want to be able to use on this camera.

Seems to be a very nice little camera. I have a Nikon FE from "the olden days" and this camera is reminiscent of that as a film camera, but with the usual Nikon digital camera controls. I have had several Nikon DSLR cameras - I only still have my 7100 right now. The Z fc is very light, but doesn't feel like a "toy camera" at all. I plan to use it when I want a light-weight but decent camera to just stick in a bag and have with me.

GRAND SLAM across the board. This camera along with the new Nikon Z lenses our absolutely the very Best. I have been a Nikon photographer since the 70's this camera is light to work with but amazing photographic results. I am not spending time at the computer with photoshop. Photo's our on the money straight out of the camera. The joy of the true Nikon style, like the past Nikon FM FE FE2 cameras. many people our coming up to me Our you shooting film ! I thought I would never switch to the new mirrorless cameras and lenses. But I am glad that I did. Thanks Scott Stewart Former Staff Photographer Chicago Sun-Times

It's the perfect camera to take on a trip. I used to own a Nikon FE and the Z fc design brings back a lot of memories, I was hesitant to invest in a Z camera but now that I have I'm more than happy that I made the leap. The image quality and handling aspects of this camera are first rate. I'm definitely going to get an adapter so I can use my existing Nikkor digital lenses with it.

I was a bit ambivalent about purchasing the Z fc as my first mirrorless body. I purchased it with the 16-50mm kit lens. (and after a few days I ordered the 50-200mm Nikkor lens. Could have save a bunch of money if I ordered with both lenses, but oh well) I own three Nikon DSLR bodies, D7100, D500, and D610, and a number of Nikon and third party lenses. Many of the existing reviews online mentioned the body felt "plasticky" and too light weight. I purchased my Z fc without actually touching or holding one so when I opened the box after receiving it I was PLEASANTLY surprised that I didn't think it was either of those descriptions at all. I do miss a hand grip on the side though. I'm used to shooting with all of the above bodies WITH vertical battery grips, so quite the handful. The AF speed is amazing and the low light capabilities are great. Even images shot at ISO 51,000 are usable. I purchased a third party adapter to test out my F lenses the Sigma and Tamron worked perfectly but an older Tokina macro did not. It may need an upgrade? Overall I love the camera. I've been shooting since mechanical film camera days and purchased the Z fc for the retro look, feel, and mechanics of the body. The touchscreen is fantastic to use. It's a fun camera to shoot with when you want to get away from the high tech buttons and features of the modern day SLRs.
