If it was simply an existing camera rebadged the Zf would be all style, but it turns out that it has plenty of substance too.
The Nikon Zfc is one of the most beautiful modern mirrorless cameras, and I would argue, the classiest. You’re all welcome because for years I hounded Nikon to recreate the famous Nikon FM/FE look in a digital format, and with the Zfc it finally happened. I’m taking all the credit.
Even though most users will enjoy the classic dials I appreciate that there are modern control dials as well. The Nikon Zf has many black and white profiles and I can use traditional filters on my glass. Here I went with a classic orange filter to pop the sky a bit.Keeping in true nostalgic fashion, the on/off switch is threaded to allow for the use of classic cable releases and soft press buttons. There is a very small LCD panel on the top of the camera pulled straight from the Zfc that gives you a rather dim reminder of your aperture setting while the camera is on.
Golden-hour light is beautiful but also dim. The Zf picked up this person easily thanks to its subject detection algorithms. We now also get the first use of a multi-shot mode on a Nikon body. You can shoot up to 32 frames which the NX software suite can combine into a 96-megapixel image. The camera needs to be on a tripod and there is no motion correction to speak of, so as multi-shot modes go it’s pretty basic, but it’s new to Nikon.For a camera that works very well with vintage manual focus Nikkor lenses, the Zf autofocuses like a modern flagship.
