Z f

So much fun to use, and even as much as people love it, it's probably still underrated. Love the colors and versatility. With the 40mm SE lens it can be a daily carry that's easy to bring anywhere, but can absolutely handle some bigger glass where you'll really get the best out of the sensor. I love it with the 50 1/.8 S. Also very capable with video.

The Nikon ZF is more than just a camera, it’s an invitation to fall in love with photography all over again. What impressed me the most is how it beautifully combines powerful, modern capabilities with a classic, retro-inspired design that truly evokes the spirit of taking photos.With the new Firmware 2.0, Nikon has pushed this camera to another level. The auto-focus for birds is remarkably precise, making wildlife photography so much more intuitive and rewarding. On top of that, the introduction of Nikon Recipes opens up a whole new creative dimension, allowing us to explore and apply impressive community-driven styles directly in-camera.Whether you’re chasing fast-moving subjects, experimenting with artistic looks, or simply enjoying the tactile experience of shooting, the Nikon ZF delivers a perfect balance between technology, creativity, and passion for photography.

The Zf is such a fun and versatile camera—ideal for walking around when I just want to enjoy photography without carrying a big, intimidating setup. It’s lighter, less assuming, yet still absolutely feature-packed.I love the retro styling, which instantly takes me back to my original Nikon F2 from 1973 when I was at RIT studying professional photography. That nostalgic design paired with modern performance makes shooting with it a joy.The latest firmware update has been a game-changer for me. Since I shoot manual with auto ISO, being able to use the exposure compensation dial seamlessly while still keeping auto ISO and use the manual dial for ISO and return to auto ISO is fantastic. It’s made the experience so much smoother.Every day I discover new functions and creative options. The Zf feels lighter in hand, and with the compact 28mm retro-style lens, it both looks and performs beautifully. I’ve also paired it with several of my other lenses with excellent results. Low light is no problem at all, and I absolutely love being able to switch instantly to black and white—a feature I never bothered with on the Z8, but now I can’t get enough of it. Back in the days of my F2 or even my D5, I could never preview black and white through the viewfinder. This feels like magic!The build quality is outstanding, and I feel completely confident that weather will never be an issue. All in all, it’s the perfect everyday carry camera—stylish, capable, and just plain fun.

The Nikon Z f has continued to delight and surprise me! I bought it 17 mo. ago for the retro looks and to try Z glass. I found it versatile and performant in unexpected ways.. thinking it would be a fun "almost EDC" camera for family, street, portraits. It is. BUT... after adding a grip, I found it has the ability to shoot sports hand held in challenging light with exceptional focus speed (high school basketball) using some awesome Z telephoto glass (primarily NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S). My "hit" rate on keepers increased 3X, and I am also truly happy with the ability to grab some short video highlights. The skinny... the Z f is not just good looking, it can easily adapt and give you super-high quality results in unexpected ways. It has opened a new world to awesome full frame Z glass (esp S-line). And it now has me dreaming about a Z8/Z9 to join it in my camera bag. :)

An amazing camera!I’m totally happy with my experience using the Nikon Zf. It’s a vintage-style camera packed with all the capabilities of a modern one.I’m not a professional photographer, and I don’t take photos for a living — but I’ve been into photography for over 20 years. If your goal is to capture travel memories, family moments, or time with friends, this camera is simply awesome.It’s fun, intuitive, and delivers beautiful results. Highly recommended!

Great camera. Love the size and the performance is awesome. Image quality is great and it allows for many modes of operation depending on your photo requirements.

This camera is amazing! It is super simple to use and that is great for a beginner like myself.

The Zf has far exceeded my expectations and has packed a lot of higher end features in a reasonably price package. I've used it for both travel and product photography and it has excelled in each. The subject tracking is phenomenal and the dynamic range capabilities make it a useful tool in a wide range of shooting situations. I did add the Small Rig grip to help with the ergonomics when using larger lenses on long days. This camera has been the perfect compliment to my other Z cameras for work use, but is also a joy to carry for casual shooting. Of course the old school film camera vibe makes me smile every time I pick it up.

I put myself through college (mid to late '70's) working at a studio back in the film days. That's where I learned photography and I used mostly medium and large format. I learned then that the more you can do in camera the less work you have to do in the darkroom and this camera lets you do a lot in camera. I use mostly exposure manipulation and ISO control, both of which are accessible without going into a menu. I'm coming from Olympus/OM Systems and they are great cameras but I simply get more keepers with the Fz. I use the 24-120 f4S most of the time but also have the olderAF-s 18-35 with adapter and will add a105 macro shortly. This camera reminds me so much of my old F3's and it really did feel familiar right away. I do use a grip on the camera exclusively and that makes life easier and doesn't add any appreciable weight. Thanks Nikon for a great camera.
