Pros: Aesthetics, direct controls, lightness

Cons: Position of some keys (wb on the front) you inadvertently end up on it holding the machine. Very grainy high ISO image rendering, JPEG artifacts?

Opinion: I bought the Zfc because it's too pretty, so similar to my old FM. I put them close together in the window to keep each other company. Of course, to do the most old style thing I took the 28 SE which is so reminiscent of the NIKKOR E series. However, being a Sony FF and aps-c user (A7CM2 and A6700) for years now, I have a fleet of Sony E lenses, I looked on Amazon for an adapter to mount Sony lenses on Nikon Z and I found it, Meike transmits all electronic functions and can be updated in the firmware via USB. With the same optics I was a bit disappointed, of course the 6700 is a top of the range 26Mpx the Zfc has only 20, and is of a much lower price class, practically half, but the yield is much lower, less sharpness, reminiscent of the graininess of high sensitivity films, with the same shooting parameters. I reserve the right to make further checks for intellectual honesty, but I fear that this is the reality. Give me some feedback please. Thank you all.

Pros: Lightness, image quality, practicality, with vintage lenses it is a spectacle

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Simply practical, I use it with vintage lenses Helios, Leica, Olimpus, Yashica ... All in manual is Fantastic !! It seems to take a dip in the past... Even with its Z-mount lenses it is gorgeous. Practical and light, excellent price quality!! I highly recommend it, also because the files that come out are workable and not very heavy unlike a full-frame with many pixels.

Pros: Product file quality, ring nuts, lightness, versatility, aesthetics, rich in features

Cons: You can perceive the entry level construction, not excellent iso hold, uncomfortable grip (but it is a virtue on certain occasions)

Opinion: I had the Z FC for more than 3 years, a period in which I approached the world of photography again after a long stop. Coming from the D7100 I was excited to switch to the mirrorless system for a whole series of merits and also for the compactness of the body compared to the old SLR. As soon as I took it I immediately perceived that from a construction point of view there was a step back compared to the D7100, the abundant plastic and the keys a bit delicate to the touch, but anyway apart from this I immediately found it very fun and easy to use, thanks to its dials that allowed me to make quick changes to the settings without having to fiddle inside the menus and without almost customizing the controls. The files it allowed me to make in some cases satisfied me very much and it was nice to experiment. In my opinion, as a first approach, or to have fun in many situations, it is the ideal machine. Then, of course, it also has some flaws: if the iso rises too high you can see it immediately, and in fact I always tried to keep them low even with the help of the trusty 35mm 1.8 S, which I used a lot at the expense of the integrated 16-50 pancake. Then it's true that it's compact but up to a certain point, even with the pancake I struggled to put it in my pocket unless I had a voluminous jacket (in this I realize there are more suitable models, but it's right to know). And then of course a stabilizer would have been useful, but here I have to say that in many situations you don't feel the lack of it. I used it all the time with the smallrig grip for a matter of grip and above all body preservation, but if you want to shoot like you used to, everything goes away and you go :)

Pros: Aesthetics

Cons: Construction a bit cheap. Lack of stabilizer on sensor and price.

Opinion: I have been using the Z-fc for about a year. I took it to support the z6II as the second lightest body so I can use it with both the 16-50 and the Z FF lenses. The machine does its job very well. It has a good viewfinder and a good touch display if you compare to the product category. The file is very good at medium low iso and generating a well contrasted, engraved file and with excellent GD. The resolution of 20 mpx now seems low but for me it is enough for almost all purposes. It has a well-laid out and easy-to-access menu. The main functions can be entered in the F menu and on the various function keys (which are not all programmable). Some functions could be added. The construction is a bit plastic. The ergonomics suffer from the vintage look and is slippery due to the absence of the handle. It is not tropicalized. The dimensions are more generous than it may seem in the photos. For what it offers the price is a bit high. The stabilizer on the sensor is missing and for me it is a significant cons since many FF lenses do not have it and the Aps lenses are very few. Sometimes Nikon is difficult to understand as their designs are compatible but completely polar opposites as solutions. In short: fantastic aesthetics (I took it also for this I do not deny it) but there is much better at those prices in the competition which precludes it to those who want to buy it as the only photographic solution. They recycled the 20 mpx sensor of the SLRs when with a 24 mpx Ibis they would have created a much more interesting product. Rated from 1 to 10 where 10 are the flagships type z9? I would say a 6.5 for the commitment to makeup and wig! :D

Pros: Vintage look, file quality, versatility, lightness, rings and controls in the right place

Cons: Grip, battery flap, price, lack of a second memory card

Opinion: For me, coming from pre-Jurassic analog, it was like going back to my glorious old Nikon FM2 New. So my opinion from this point of view is a bit biased. Using the Z9 for some time I have flanked it as a second alternative body when I want to be light. For this reason I have joined a good number of Z DX lenses but obviously you can also use the professional Z series S lenses. The grip is not very good and I preferred to buy the original Nikon GR1 extension that costs a mistake. With the GR1 it's perfect. The Z fc is a vintage mask, in the sense that you can use it as an old Nikon analog manual, with priority of times or aperture, or as a digital of the latest generation, on the level or perhaps higher than the D500 for example, with files of over 20 Mpix and burst greater than 10 ftg / sec. The autofocus very good but not lightning. The setting of the menus is practically the same as the latest generation Z. For a Nikonista it is a matter of seconds to become familiar with the Z fc. It costs a little bit especially with the addition of the original handle, but so much ... It is an almost vintage piece ???. It is a very fun toy, a toy that gives you high-level files even shooting only in jpg, ideal for walks or tourism when you want to stay light. It attracts curiosity but is never intrusive.
