Z fc

Is the battery that you purchased, a genuine Nikon battery, or a third party battery?? Nikon has sometimes changed their firmware to brick the camera, when using an off brand battery. I am not saying that I am aware that they have done this to the ZFc, but it is possible. All Nikon firmware is a com

I shoot a D3s, I mention it a lot so my apologies to people that have seen my comments before. I bought it just the other year for 500 CAD, with a reasonable shutter count of 57,000. It has not let me down at all as I start doing my own freelance work. But I know for a fact, that once I start making

I switched from Nikon mirrored to Fuji. I was in the same boat, looking at the Zf and Zfc for a nice retro manual digital camera. I loved my FF camera and the depth of field it has (I have take many great photos with it.). I liked the Zf more than the Zfc, but neither truly offered that manual camer

If size if your concern, good thing you didn’t get the Z9. The Z8 is wayyy smaller version of Z9 in comparison and should be fine for street and most other photography. Not sure what Leica you were shooting on before. The Z6iii is a bit smaller, better in low light has a slightly better battery life

the other has slightly better specs Replace "slightly" with "significantly". The Z50ii has way better subject detect AF, a remote release port, user presets and custom buttons, so many other small details too that add up. All the APSC Nikon Zs share the same sensor, so there's little practical diffe

The Zfc only has Nikon's advanced picture controls system. So you can do custom profiles and tone curves; but not flexible picture controls. https://nikonrumors.com/2025/09/30/the-art-of-color-science.aspx/ The ZF has flexible picture controls--and presumably a Zfc-ii will have them too if one gets

I sold my Z50 and Zfc, bought the Z50II body as soon as it was available. The amount of customization is worth the upgrade by itself, let alone EXPEED7 improvement. I have mine set up virtually identical to my Z8. I wish Nikon had an f/4 16-80 zoom.

My wife and I were wedding photographers who retired during Covid. We unloaded our DSLR gear at the time and took a small break. We jumped into mirrorless this year. My wife picked up a Z fc and I picked up at Z50ii. We are shooting purely for fun and not going back into business. I can’t stand shoo

The ZFc is frankly not good value unless you buy used and know what you’re getting into. The ZF is a capable full-frame camera in a Fujifilm-esque body. The ZFc is a Nikon Z30 shoved inside a smaller version of the ZF. You get a nice looking metal body (albeit with a cheap feeling plasticky coating)

That’s awesome! I too started on a film camera before I ventured back into digital, the last DSLR I had in 08(a Canon) was hard to understand. I swore off Nikon though, but in 2021 mom gave me dad’s old Nikon FG-20, and long story short this made me fall in love with both analog and Nikon, and I got
