Great small camera

Posted by Daniel Lévesque on March 22, 2022

My principal camera is a D850 but the Z FC is great as a 2nd and travel camera. Impressive performance.

Great camera.

I purchased this camera last year right after it became available. As a 70+ year old woman my doctor told me to put down my heavy equipment and get a light weight camera. I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed this camera. I have taken pictures of my grandson in football last year and can say it did an amazing job. I used my 70-300 lens when taking the pictures. I also purchased the 16-50 kit lens and can say I am thrilled with this camera's performance. Yes there is a delay but nothing I can not live with. I just ordered the 50-250 lens and am excited to see how it will do with this camera.

Zfc

Posted by Jamie on October 2, 2021

I wrote an earlier review of the Zfc and mentioned that I was a bit disappointed with the camera and that it was basically sitting unused on my desk because I didn’t think the viewfinder display was up to snuff—I haven’t completely made my peace with the viewfinder, but I have used the camera a lot more since I wrote that review. I have actually been enjoying using the camera and have taken some really great pictures with it. I have even managed to take some near-macro pictures of plants with the 16-50mm lens. The quality of the pictures is super and the camera is very easy to pop in a pocket or bag, or to put round one’s neck if out for a walk, which is what I have been doing. I love that the controls for exposure compensation, ISO, shutter speed are all easy to reach and use and the back view screen is really amazing. Could the display quality be better? Yes. But I am enjoying the camera nonetheless..

A bit of a mixed bag

Posted by Jamie on September 15, 2021

I was really excited to take the step into mirrorless cameras and picked this up in order to do that. Its’a a great price for a starter mirrorless camera. Unfortunately, I find the viewfinder to be of poor quality. I was expecting a sharp, clear image that replicated the view one would see with one’s eyes, much the way my cell phone depicts the world. Instead, the viewfinder image is fuzzy and pixelated, like watching a TV with bad reception. I have even used the diopter wheel to make adjustments but I find the image is still not clear. I typically use a mirrored DSLR for my photography so part of my complaint might be based in the fact that I’m use to seeing exactly what my eye sees but through the viewfinder, rather than an electronically generated image, but I was expecting better . The camera itself is well made and a nice size. I think it’s good for someone who is migrating from a cell phone or a point/shoot camera to something more professional. It’s a nice size to put in a bag or even a jacket pocket when going out. I do like that the knobs on top give quick access to ISO and shutter speed, which with DSLR’s can be hidden in menu items and hard to find. For me, I think Zfc has reinforced my decision to stay with mirrored cameras, rather than migrate to mirrorless. If you are used to mirrorless already or pint/shoot then this is a great step up.

Pros:
Small
Light weight
Retro styling is cool
Easy to access controls

Cons:
Viewfinder /electronically generated image
Lack of DX lenses

As much fun as possible with your clothes on.

Superb image quality. Great user interface. One of the most fun camera's I've ever used. Definitely an incremental upgrade from the Z50. Superb light weight and the retro look is fun. Auto Focus is great and reliable Nikon colors are impressive.
