Nikon Zf Review Update: The Weirdest Thing Happened
If you’re a Nikon Zf camera owner, then you probably got a notification a while back about the latest firmware update. This one, admittedly, is quite odd. And if you read through the update, you’ll notice that it really doesn’t seem to do much for most photographers.
Nikon Z f Review
The Nikon Z f is a joy to use and can be paired with older Nikon F mount lenses using the Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ II for an even more vintage shooting experience. Features and functions are also inherited from the Z 6II, Z 8 and Z 9, so it's a camera with some serious shooting power behind it.- Beautifully designed, Excellent image quality, Great handling
- Doesn’t balance well with larger lenses, No battery charger included in the kit, Dual card slots include SD and microSD
Nikon Zf review: snap to the future
Retro styling meets full-frame sensor- Classic looks meet bombproof build quality, Full-frame sensor delivers delightful RAWs and JPEGs, Tracking autofocus is fantastic
- Dial-driven controls can be fiddly, Tiny grip and heavy weight hamper comfort, Battery life only average
Nikon Zf Field Test
The Nikon Zf is definitely not just a Z6 II dressed up in a retro coat. In addition to a very successful blend of traditional and modern design, and the enjoyable retro controls, the Zf also brings a number of very interesting features.
The Nikon Zf Camera Boasts the Latest Smarts With a Vintage Style
Nikon’s latest mirrorless camera might look like it’s from the 1980s, but it offers the same image quality as today’s best.- Classic film-style camera body. Dials for all major settings. Very well built. Excellent autofocus. Black and white mode. Surprisingly good video capabilities (up to 4K/60).
- Useless microSD card slot. No battery charger.
Nikon Z f Mirrorless Camera (Stone Grey) - Brand New review
The Nikon Zf is a camera whose image quality and performance live up to its stylish looks, but its handling and operation isn't always quite as slick. Paired with smaller, lighter lenses, it's a joy, but your Z-mount options are somewhat limited at present.- Enthusiast photographers for whom style and design matter
- Photographers using longer lenses or needing constant quick settings changes
Nikon Zf Review: A Cutting Edge Camera Hides Beneath A Vintage Exterior
The Nikon Zf is a camera that makes you want to get out and take photographs. It's an absolute joy to use, and is just more fun than more typical modern digital camera designs, which tend to be functional but boring, and often age poorly.
Nikon Z f Mirrorless Camera (Stone Grey) - Brand New review
Given that the Nikon Z f has the 24.5MP full-frame sensor of the Nikon Z6 and Z6 II, and the Expeed 7 processing engine of the Z8 and Z9, it’s not surprising that that it can produce great images. However, the Z f is about more than image quality.- Magnesium alloy body, Traditional controls, Expeed 7 processor
- No joystick on the back of the camera, No auto settings on the shutter speed or ISO dials
Nikon Zf review – a retro delight
For retro-camera lovers, the full-frame mirrorless Nikon Zf is the first proper Fujifilm alternative. It’s a more faithful reimagining of the Nikon FM2 than the crop-sensor Zfc, with lovely flourishes that includes brass dials, a threaded shutter button that accepts a cable release, and a new B&W mode. The Zf isn’t just about old-school looks, though – it also packs a punch, with Nikon’s latest processor, 24.5MP stills up to 30fps, its best in-body image stabilization yet, and powerful autofocus. You might not need the Zf for its photo and video prowess, but you’ll want it for how it looks and feels.- Beautiful design and gorgeous flourishes
- New color profiles
- Nikon’s best in-body image stabilization yet
- Could be better served by Z7 II sensor
- Limited choice of retro-styled mirrorless Z lenses
- Memory card types limit performance potential
Nikon Z f
The robustly constructed Nikon Z f features the same 24-megapixel sensor as the Z6 II but has a more up-to-date processor, better autofocusing and IBIS, faster continuous shooting and other improvements.
