I'm coming to this camera after a 10 year relationship with my D750. And I love it!. Such a fun, good looking upgrade. Here's what I am especially enjoying: matrix metering is fabulous, I no longer underexpose by 2/3 stop (camera really hangs on to detail in the very bright regions) even with backlit people; auto white balance is fabulous, especially noticeable under mixed lighting conditions; autofocus is excellent, fastening on my grandchildren's eyes and not letting go; noise is non-existent in the raw files (at least I haven't found any up to 1600 ISO). The shutter sounds are lovely, including silent when necessary. Is there anything I don't like you might be wondering? I bought a grip before leaving the store with the camera. Without the grip I find it hard to hold. I'd like another 1 or 2 programable buttons on the outside. The relationships between the dials and ISO settings are a little confusing at first. I messed around with this, watched a few videos and bought David Busch's book and figured it out. I find myself using manual exposure a lot. The shutter speed and ISO dials work well so why not. Am I happy with my purchase? Absolutely! Did I mention how much I am liking the 24-70 f/4 and 40mm Z mount lenses? Very much! Would I buy this setup again? Without question.

So glad they brought the Orange back. It is stunning in person and the camera is a beast! Slowly getting use to it, as I am a hobbyist and this is my first upgrade in roughly 9-10 years. I can’t recommend this camera enough. I have the 40mm lens with it to start and it’s a great combo. I also got a soft shutter button and it makes a bigger difference than I expected. Overall 10/10!

It really does hold up well in low-light conditions!

This is the most enjoyment I've experienced with a piece of photo equipment in a long time. As a long time Nikon user I can safely say this is the camera that will end my regret for selling my D700 several years ago. The Zf is a pleasure to use and produces beautiful colors and sharpness.

Purchased with the 24-70mm lens, it’s a fun camera to use even with its quirks. Takes good photos, focus has improved but eye detection isn’t sticky at times. Having a micro sd card with USB 1 rating is kind of redundant with full size SD USB II card. Getting cards out with grip on can also be a treat. All in all not a bad camera.
