It's not like there are "FC" versions of Nikon's big white lenses. The FujiFilm cameras are why. If you want APSC that is what to buy these days. Everyone else has either given up or releases warmed over parts-bin bodies. It's nice to see Nikon putting in some effort. Yeah, it means someone must have done something right to inspire this much love, hate, and fanfare for a crop sensor camera.

APSC came a long way had has some advantages. I grab my Leica CL in a small bag since it is light and gives stellar performance for my purposes. For night shoots I carry a little table top tripod. These comments go back to over two months ago, consolidated from other articles. They didn't just appear right after the review was published. Frosting on the cake, half of the messages are on the look and the available colors when we were expecting IBIS. The TNT was added by forbidding at least temporarily, but with no clear limit on what this means the Z50 owners to buy the 28mm new lens.

It's a polarizing product: -People who are looking for film-era nostalgia or a retro-feeling camera are in love. I did try the DF but it never quite had that feel and long lost experience of using film cameras. The whole process of loading and shooting with film really makes you think about the creating an image from start to finish. Thats when I love using the knobs and dials, if I remember my close up glasses ha ha Reading this excellent review and the conclusions though it has made me seriously thing about getting the Z50 to go with my Z7.

The images in this review really impresses. These are just my thoughts from someone still shooting film but fully embracing the wonders of the Z range and must congratulate Nikon on the way they have moved forward.

I wanted to like the Df but it felt like a cheap D6x0 with a fancy retro top cover. Too bad it didn't use the higher-specced D8x0 mechanics. You can't even change the aperture live while the DOF button is pressed. Nikon should build their retro styled bodies based on their most capable models, not on the cheapest ones. I agree with Giovanni: the Df should have used their D8xoo internals and they would have had a winner.

Also agree that they need to use their premium specs on their retro bodies, esp in a FF one if they produce that. I agree with someone who noted that Nikon was smart to start with the lower priced retro model, test the waters, and if a success, then go forward with a higher priced FF model. But again, if Nikon does a FF model, they should aim high and put in premium specs. Retro FF users are willing to pay a bit more to get premium specs. When I shoot this as a normal forward facing camera, I use the modern shutter speed and aperture dials on the front and back.

No ibis? It should be standard in all decent cameras coming out these days. Seems nikon is borrowing Canon's Cripple Hammer. When it was announced, I was deeply disappointed by the lack of in-body stabilisation. Such a pity.

Even though I'm committed to full frame, I would have considered buying it as a smaller, lighter walkabout alternative to my Z Keep my feet from Dancing! In other words, make a full frame X-T3 or FMnd. That said, releasing a crop sensor version first was the right move.

I would never have bought a full sized sensor version. The controls would be about the same between Fuji and Nikon cameras. The alternative would be to move to Fuji GFX line, but less lenses to choose from. But we seem to see more and more ASPC cameras these days X-Trans destroys micro contrast as evidenced in the dpreview sensor test section. It always looks cheaper without the grit that a real full frame lens and sensor combo can offer.

FF is also much closer to medium format look while offering smaller and better lenses than faux MF. I think it's time fore me to sell. The thrill is gone. No offense taken. Let's call it clarity then? It is what's gone when haze creeps in in cheap or old lenses when used wide open.

That's what I call micro contrast, or the lack thereof. I wonder how optical engineers call it. I agree with you on the last part of your post. I was always puzzled how "cheap" the image quality looks in close-up even when using a prime lens on x-trans. Whoever wants an apsc camera will be crazy to get this unless they shot Nikon full frame or are first hipster and after photographer. This camera will will never be supported by a decent lens lineup. It is nice to see and hopefully to handle, period.

Funny, the only people now using that term "hipster" are those hopelessly trying to come off as "hip. This camera has great style and by all accounts is a very capable camera too. What's wrong with that? As to the lens lineup, being a Z mount, it accepts the full range of Nikon Z lenses for both APS-C and FF, and will even accept adapters for all sorts of other lenses out there. OK, it's startin to grow on me. But there's still a few things about this cam that's killin it for me. No Grip!

Gotta have one. With any kind of larger lens on it they all look HUGE on this punky body , it's probably gonna get dropped. A body this small can easily slip out of your hands with no grip. Wishin it was 'full frame'. I shoot a lot in less than perfect light ISO , and I've got so used to the low noise capabilities of Nikon's full framer's DD I won't be happy with the noise I see comin out of this cam at those ISOs.

Cropped sensors just CANT hold a candle to full frame in this department. I've got so used to shootin all day on 1 battery images , that I'm sure I'm gonna HATE swapping out batteries half way thru the day. That's when I'm probably gonna miss somethin I didn't want to. Get with the program. The lack of a grip actually becomes an asset when you're holding it backwards as you would if you use the flip-out screen to shoot a selfie.

The lack of a grip opens up alternate ways to hold the camera and I'm taking full advantage of that now that I realize it.

It has USB-C charging. The battery won't last all day, but you can easily plug it into a powerbank or a car adapter to refresh the charge if you don't want to carry extra batteries.

Also, the CIPA battery ratings for all mirrorless cameras are vastly understated. Their testing methodology does not apply to mirrorless; it is made for DSLRs. I have found that any mirrorless camera I have owned or tried out gets far more battery life than the CIPA ratings would suggest. Grips are really the equivalent of a double-handled spouted toddlers cup……use the neck strap that came with the camera, problem solved….. But seriously, the grip serves several functions at least on my X-H1: it has two batteries in it, so can shoot a lot longer.

It also allows for the full video clip versus 15 mins with just the body cells; and sports the headphone jack that, hopefully, they'll put in the body on the X-H2. Lastly, it has duplicate controls for shooting in vertical orientation. During a longer studio style shoot I find the ergos quite enjoyable, if a little more weighty. After being spoiled by my Olympus bodies, I eventually got the X-H1 versus the T2 because it was stabilized.

IBIS extends your shooting envelope and lets a guy get many more keepers that aren't blurred out by camera and lens shake. The problem is And you 'please no grip' prima-donnas who are pointing the camera backwards IBIS would have definitely resulted in 'more keepers'. Just LOVE people who buy a camera because it has no grip cause a grip kills its sexyness and order a grip the next day. Gary, being creative enough to use a grip-less camera in novel ways and pointing a camera at yourself makes you a narcissist?

So their target market are hipsters. Just a little silly if you ask me. It's a functional thing for a specific genre of photography lovers not just your beloved "hipsters". This does have all the trademarks of a troll post. Using the overused term of "hipsters.

I actually like this camera a whole lot. But if one goes for this camera for the looks, he has very limited "same cool style" lenses to pair with it, till Nikon releases more "classic looking" lenses. And it is interesting to see what will they do - will they choose to go for classic only APSC bodies and lenses and modern FF? Would they add the possibility to have every lens in modern or classic housing?

Great looking camera. Now Nikon need to produce more compact pancake type lenses to compliment it. These could then be used for a full frame version of the Zfc too. It's funny, I have the XT and like it a lot. So when I see this thing, everything makes me want to buy it.

Finally the digital FM2n. That's a good sign. I have on a shelf my original FM from seventies perfectly working in silver finish, I think the DF was a partial mistake and this ZFc finally has the same feeling of her Grandma. Nice looking camera. Lens looks oversized for the body - but that's inherent with the Nikon Z bodies and lens Would a pancake like Pentax's incredible 40mm look better. But the two kits to me look great on the body.

Newbie4Life Video specst!! I also won't count the X-Trans vs. Bayer sensor pattern because both have their pros and cons. Don't believe? Just download the dpreview. In this retrospective, Chris and Jordan look back at some of their most memorable moments from the past year.

Take a look at how it performs in both JPEG and Raw modes under daylight and tungsten-balanced lighting. We recently got our hands on a production Nikon Z fc and we wasted no time taking it out and about in the Seattle area.

As expected, the results are pretty good - see for yourself in our sample gallery. The Nikon Z fc arrives quite late to the classically-styled party, but it looks pretty competitive when placed side-by-side with Fujifilm's similarly throw-back X-T We look more closely at what they offer, how they handle and which is better. The Nikon Z fc is due to start shipping soon, and while we wait for a final production sample to review, we've been adding images to our previously published gallery of JPEG samples.

The Z fc is the second crop-sensor Nikon camera to use the company's Z-mount and is built around the same Nikon says it's aiming the camera at a younger, style-conscious audience. The Z fc will primarily be sold in silver with black leatherette patches, but six versions with colored grip material will also be available in limited quantities. The main thing that's new in the Z fc is its retro styling and control system based on dedicated control dials.

But despite the classic looks, the Z fc is a modern camera at heart, offering a few features that should ensure it's seen as more than just a prettified Z The Z50 and Z fc likely share the same 'Expeed 6' processor, so these functions could probably be added to the older model via firmware, but Nikon may choose to maintain a distinction between the two. This means that it can be rotated all the way forward for vlogging working nicely in conjunction with the video Eye AF function , and also means the screen can be folded in to face the back of the camera, to protect the LCD panel when traveling.

Also aiding on-the-go photographers, the Z fc has a USB-C socket on its side which can be used to power the camera, as well as to charge the battery. It's a USB 3. The other new feature of the Z fc is the ability for it to accept firmware updates from a smartphone.

It's a feature we've seen from other brands and we've found it unexpectedly convenient both in terms of finding out about updates, as well as keeping the camera up-to-date. Nikon is targeting the Z fc to a younger audience interested in owning a fashionable camera for sharing photos on social media and vlogging. It's for "capturing iconic moments" read: photos for Instagram , according to the company.

Nikon has created the Z fc to be the opposite of the 'boring black camera,' with a design that traces back to actual Nikon film cameras of old. It's something to be noticed. Fujifilm has been making cameras with designs comparable to the Z fc for many years, with the X-T30 being the most similar. While very capable for stills and video, it's not really a vlogging camera, as it lacks a fully articulating display.

Technically speaking, Fujifilm's X-S10 is the better choice for vloggers, trading the manual control dials for a fully articulating display as well as in-body image stabilization, but design-wise it's a boring black camera. The Z fc's body closely resembles both the size and shape of Nikon's FM and FE SLRs, meaning it doesn't have the kind of protruding grip that's subsequently been deemed essential for holding a camera.

If you need something more to hold onto, there is a bolt-on accessory grip that screws into the base of the camera. Metallic-finish dials are pretty commonplace, but the Z fc uses solid aluminum dials and Nikon says the numbers are etched into the metal, rather than being printed or stuck on the surface.

The ISO and shutter speed dials both have press locks on them, to prevent accidental operation, but this means they require slightly more considered operation.

Although the Z fc ends up looking a lot like Fujifilm's X-T30, its dials operate slightly differently. Rather than exposure mode being defined by the position of the ISO and shutter speed dials, the Z fc has a separate exposure mode switch. For instance, setting this to 'A' for Aperture Priority deactivates the shutter speed dial, regardless of its position.

Generally, the dedicated dials are used for controlling each exposure parameter, with a command dial on the front of the camera setting an aperture value. One interesting quirk is that the ISO dial does not include an 'Auto' position. A small switch at the base of the shutter speed dial lets you jump from stills to movie shooting and back.

As with the Z50 and other recent Nikons, you can opt for different settings for both modes allowing, for instance, different white balance and color mode settings for each style of shooting.

However, the reliance on dedicated dials means that your exposure settings will tend to carry over, so you'll have to adjust them somewhat, each time you switch. The Z fc is a pretty light-feeling camera, thanks to the extensive use of magnesium alloy in its construction.

The lack of protruding handgrip helps keep the weight down below that of the Z The thin-gauge metal and rather light plastic battery door and viewfinder eye-cup molding make the camera feel less substantial than its metal construction might otherwise imply. However, the dial feel particularly in terms of the front and rear command dials helps counteract this impression.

The Z fc uses the same EN-EL25 battery as the Z50 and, since it shares that camera's screen, viewfinder, sensor and processor, it delivers a very similar battery life. The CIPA rating of shots per charge is reasonable, rather than great, even once you've taken into account the fact it's common to get twice as many shots as these ratings suggest, in day-to-day use. The ability to recharge or directly power the camera using its USB socket will relieve some of this pressure, especially if you're already in the habit of packing a USB power bank for keeping your phone topped up on weekends away.

When I first picked up the Z fc with its mm kit lens attached, my first thoughts were 'wow, this sure is light' and 'this can't possibly be metal'. As mentioned earlier, the Z fc is indeed metal, though it feels very thin on the front plate. The top plate is a different story: it feels solid and the dials are perfectly designed.

The display showing the aperture is so small that you can forget it's there, and the lack of a backlight makes it impossible to see in the dark. There were some aspects of the Z fc's design that I didn't care for.

The body is covered with faux leather that I found quite slippery. Let's hope that Nikon will bring the GR-1 extension grip to the USA soon, which would give me more confidence when holding it. I wouldn't complain about an add-on thumb rest, either, since there's not a lot of real estate on the back panel. I wish the menus could be operated with the control dials, which would be a lot faster than using the four-way controller or touchscreen.

Those things aside, the Z fc is a pleasure to shoot with, which is on par with the other Z-series Nikons I've used. The autofocus system is responsive, with animal AF picking up the eyes of birds and cats, and face detection locking onto a subject wearing sunglasses which was a pleasant surprise.

While I have no plans to be a vlogger, the Z fc is more than capable of handling that task, if it's your thing. As soon as you rotate the screen toward yourself, the camera disables all of the buttons except for the red one for video capture, so you won't accidentally change a setting. There isn't a quick menu or a way to start recording via the touchscreen. I was pleased with the footage I got after recording myself walking around the backyard a few times.

The oversampled 4K looks great and the AF system stuck to my eyes like glue, even with glasses. The combination of in-lens and electronic IS wasn't amazing by any means, however. Since many folks are using their cameras as webcams these days, I installed Nikon's webcam utility software on my laptop to see how things looked.

While I don't enjoy taking videos of myself, I do enjoy sharing my photos on Instagram and Facebook. Nikon's SnapBridge app has drastically improved over the years and worked almost flawlessly. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but remote camera control and image transfer to your phone or automatically to the cloud work well, which allowed me to get my photos onto Instagram moments after I took them.

Our studio test scene was photographed using the Nikkor Z 50mm F1. You can toggle the comparison tool above between JPEG and Raw modes by selecting the desired mode in the relevant dropdown.

At the top right of our tool you'll see icons denoting 'Full' , 'Compare' , and 'Print'. Colors in JPEGs are pleasing, with the golden yellows, warm greens and vibrant reds we've come to expect from Nikon. JPEG sharpening is pretty aggressive , with large radius sharpening causing more halos around edges also known as overshoot than competitors like Fujifilm and Sony. Noise reduction is quite effective at removing noise , but it comes at a considerable detail cost relative to the class-leading Sony.

There are two things we measure when looking at dynamic range: exposure latitude and ISO invariance. We're going to skip over the technical mumbo-jumbo and explain what they mean in the real world. Our exposure latitude test does what you might be tempted to do in bright light: reduce the exposure to capture additional highlights, then brighten the shadows.

The Z fc's excellent sensor lets you brighten shadows at levels well beyond what one would normally do, with just a modest increase in noise. The sensor is also highly ISO invariant, which you can see demonstrated in our test scene , where we've taken photos at different ISOs and brightened the Raw files.

In layman's terms, this means that you can shoot at low ISOs to preserve highlights and brighten the image in Photoshop or similar and get the same result as if you boosted the ISO in-camera.

One last thing worth mentioning is the camera's white balance system. There are three Auto WB settings: 'keep overall atmosphere', 'keep white' and 'keep warm lighting'.

We found that, on occasion, photos would have a blue cast to them using the 'keep overall atmosphere' setting. If you notice this while shooting, switching to the 'warm' option will give you a more realistic-looking white balance. The wide and auto-area modes offer your choice of person or animal AF, and both work well in our experience, from sunglasses-wearing people to shorebirds.

The Z fc has no room for a joystick, so you'll be setting the location of the focus point with the four-way controller or via the touchscreen. To check AF performance, we first use a single, central AF point with a subject approaching in a straight line. This checks how well the camera can assess the distance of the approaching subject and focus accordingly.

Modern cameras have very little difficulty with this test and the Z fc was no exception. Carey's bright yellow jacket was kept in focus during the whole run, which was shot at 11 fps using Nikon's Nikkor Z mm F2. The more challenging test has our subject weaving unpredictably, so we can evaluate how well the camera can identify and follow him around the frame, in addition to re-focusing. We put the Z fc into auto-area, selected Carey's face and fired away at 11 fps.

The Z fc did very well in this test, though not perfectly. On one occasion the camera decided that a person in the background was more interesting than our chosen subject, and focused on them until they were blocked by the bike, at which point the camera switched back to the desired subject.

The video features on the Z fc are the same as those on the Z50, except for the addition of eye autofocus. That means that you get uncropped 4K video sampled from the full width of the sensor, Full HD fps high-speed shooting, and dedicated video settings which lets you quickly flip between still and video modes without bringing over any unwanted settings. There's also focus peaking for manual focusing , zebra patterns for judging exposure , audio level control and the ability to set the microphone to better capture voices.

When shooting with manual exposure the camera also lets you lock in shutter speed and aperture to get the look you want, and adjust brightness via the exposure compensation dial. Although it's not quite as crisp as footage from the Fujifilm X-T30, which captures oversampled 4K, the Z fc still produces very nice looking video. Video captured at p at both 60p and p also looks solid. The Z fc offers an electronic image stabilizer, which adds a modest crop.

It doesn't give you gimbal-quality stability, and there's a slight drop in quality, but if you're not using a stabilized lens, it's worth a try. With the Nikon Z fc, the company has designed a capable camera but not class-leading for photography and vlogging and also a great tool for this seeking a hands-on experience not found on other Z-mount bodies.

It's essentially a Z50 — a camera that earned our silver award — in a different shell: and that's a good thing. Few will argue with the design of the camera: it looks fantastic. Handling is a mixed bag; the Z fc is light but feels a bit hollow. The faux leather that covers the body looks nice but is slippery in the hand Nikon offers an optional grip in some regions. The sense of quality from the sturdy metal dials are offset by the cheap plastic battery door. Speaking of autofocus, the Z fc focuses quickly, detects eyes and faces with ease and does well at subject tracking, though Sony's and Canon's AF systems are more robust.
