Nikon Z f

[...] In fact, I love it so much that I recently sold my Fujifilm X100F and replaced it with a Zfc - makes much more sense to me as a ‘handbag’ camera and it’s another change that I am utterly happy with ☺️. I use mine mostly with vintage lenses (one of the primary reasons to move to the Zf is the manual focus and manual lens support), and it’s been tremendous.

[...] Since it’s not a newly released camera, your perspective on the Zf is refreshing. I got my Zf over 18 months ago as my everyday carry, and I also use a Z8 for birding and landscapes. My take is that while the Zf has technical capabilities on par with its siblings in the Z series, it stands out as a unique camera in its own right. [...] Nikon has paid attention to the small details, the feel of the brass dials for shutter speed and ISO, the click of the dials, the shutter sound, and the thoughtful design choices like the D-pad instead of a joystick (while still allowing the use of the screen for focus points). The incorporation of the PSAM slider under the ISO dial and the inclusion of a video record button, TBH the omission of the joystick was difficult to adapt to. It seems Nikon has learned from its Zfc experience to build the Zf, balancing homage with the materials, functions, and capabilities of a modern camera. [...] The Zf was the first Z camera with support for AF on manual lenses and even supports eye detection. [...] This camera allows me to enjoy the time and effort in taking photographs, creating an almost analog experience within a modern camera system.

I bought a new camera recently for a trip to Bhutan. I ended up getting a Nikon Zf which is great for shooting in full manual mode. [...] I really treasure the photos from it in a way I never did with smartphone photos. [...] Sometimes I go for photo walks with a friend. [...]

[...] I bought the Z9 because I could. Then I bought the Zf because I like having two cameras so I don't have to change lenses. [...]

[...] My last DSLR was the mighty D750...then one day I decided to try mirrorless by getting a Zfc and was so impressed, I bought a Z6III and I could no longer resist the Nikon Zf in silver/black...so sweet! This camera takes me back to the mid 70's when I started photography with a Canon AT-1 which I still have and use on occasion. [...] All three mirrorless cameras are keepers!

[...] I have added it to my "Nikon ZF" playlist. (Thanks for throwing in a "Zed" for us Commonwealth folks, by the way.) I've had a Zf for about a year and chose it based on specs, not appearance (although I really like the appearance). [...] It has handled every kind of photo use case I have thrown at it. (Not the best choice, ergonomically speaking, for birding with a 200-500mm zoom, but it can be done and does capture good images.) There is a Canadian beer brand with the slogan, "Those who like it, like it a lot." It certainly applies to the Nikon Zf. [...]

Love my Nikon ZF, ISO dial works great once you learn how they implemented it. [...] I think it’s one of the best auto ISO setups in manual of any camera. [...] The dial is now the max ISO selection and the camera will always use the lowest it can up to that dial setting as the ceiling. [...] I own a Z8 as well, it’s the better professional ergonomics if you need that, the ZF is the more fun camera for me though and it’s excellent all around.

[...] I own a Z9 and the Zf and no other Nikon mirrorless bodies. [...] I bought the Zf almost on a lark because its tribute status to the Nikon of old appealed to me as a long time Nikon film shooter. That said, the features it offers minus its vintage ergonomics (which can be compensated for with the various aftermarket grips that are available) make it both a great travel camera and a great FF entry point for folks shotting APS-C cameras. [...]

[...] ZF one of my go to cameras, a while back I shot JPEG's with the Q3 and the ZF when I got home and looked at the files, Not super scientific, but they were smoother and cleaner images on the ZF in my hands. Ended up buying the ZF and then a few months later Leica store up in Bellevue said they had a deluxe eight in and I got that as well. The 40 F2 I use it a lot in clubs at night . I like that Nikon allows other manufactures to make lenses for it,most recently I purchased Viltrox 28 4.5 as my walk around camera in day light, I enjoy not having to put a lens cap on it, built-in and it's only $100. [...]

[...] The low light performance will be even better than the Leica. Use the Nikkor 24-120 Z and you have the perfect travel camera. I use it as a second camera with the Z8 and it is very nice.

[...] Got one as my full frame, retro camera. [...] Got the Zf and love the sharpness, the low light ability, and the switch for B&W, since I shoot a lot of it. [...] In the meantime, I’ll enjoy shooting and learning the Nikon Zf. [...]

The camera is made exactly for people like me. [...] I like to take analogue photos every now and then, but I look at the pictures on my MacBook. I like listening to vinyl records but with modern speakers. I've had the Nikon zf for a few months now and I love it and would recommend it to anyone who feels the same way as me.

[...] That’s only one half of the story, because Fuji also need to provide modern photo requirements to their cameras and I’m actually willing them on to do this! So… you didn’t mention the Nikon zf Expeed 7 processor much and its low light and autofocus abilities that kinda leave Fuji standing. [...] (f/2.8 APS-C = f/4.2 FF) You see, I’m looking for a new camera and it doesn’t have to be FF, so I was quite keen on the Fuji X-T5. But I came across the Nikon zf and was quite impressed for the reasons stated above. In fact, I did actually think about the Nikon z6ii, but the autofocus and low light abilities on the zf appears to better, and I really don’t want my iMac subjected to 40-60mp files, nor do I need to print any bigger than A3+. [...]

As a user of the Nikon Zf and a former user of Fujifilm x-t 3, x-pro 3 and x-h1, I believe the Nikon Zf is way better than these 3 Fujifilm cameras. [...] Low light performance is very good, autofocus is very good, image output is very good and the build is so much better than Fujifilm. It replaces all these cameras and even if the lenses are bigger (full frame) except the 28mm f2,8 and 40mm f2, Z lenses are fantastic. [...] Try to properly manually focus with an x-pro 3 and a Nikon Zf and you will see what I mean. This camera has the look of a vintage film camera with the guts of a modern mirrorless camera. [...]

I think the problem is you don't know how a vintage reflex camera works. The Nikon Zf dials works as they have to do. [...] Quality of Nikon Zf exceeds Fuji X100 series. [...]

[...] It's been the most Swiss Army Knife camera I've owned. I've used it for some small pro work, travel, family, etc. [...] Especially after years in the Fuji X system, being used to a less than perfect AF hit rate, there are times where I'm sure I missed the shot but the Zf managed to grab it in focus. [...] The one and only complaint I have about it is the screen. For a photo-centric body, having the X-T 3-way tilt would be ideal and I would probably call it the perfect (for me) camera. The fully articulating screen is cumbersome and takes a little too much force to open, such that I'm spending a bunch of time fiddling with it when I need a low or high angle quickly. [...]

[...] Fortunately, after watching other YouTube videos I had a better idea and how good the Nikon Zf is. [...] I still utilize my Z7 for landscape but use the Zf as my fun camera.

I own a Zf and I love it. [...] This camera made shooting magical again for me. [...]

@5:24 “you’re not getting Leica quality out of this lens, out of this camera…” What is exactly Leica quality that you don’t get out of the Nikon Zf system? [...]

I'm a long time owner of the Fuji X100s and the Nikon Zf is a better camera (than any of the X100 line) and provides a better "retro" experience. [...] You have most of the Z8/9 performance inside, which is amazing. [...] The only people who claim this have not spent time learning the cameras systems. It's actually an excellent way of using it because it puts the ISO dial in use when in Auto, unlike Fuji who sets it to A and it's now a useless piece of the camera controls. [...] Another tip is to set the rec button (because you aren't using it for stills) to ISO and you can spin the dial to C and use the traditional Nikon ISO setup with the finger front and rear dials, hold the red button down and front spin with turn auto on/off, rear will adjust the ISO value or max ISO, simple and easy. [...]

I bought a Nikon Z f after not shooting for about 30 years and it's been a blast. [...] The only thing I really miss is an additional function button. [...]

[...] I mean what happened, they say it's a long term review but doesn't seem like they have used the camera a lot! I have used Fuji and Nikon both and from what I saw I Nikon performed much better in terms of autofocus, usability and the final image output. [...] Things like worse image quality, autofocus and low light performance doesn't seem to be true at all since Nikon Zf is performance is quite comparable to latest Canon and Sony cameras I have used. [...] Also I would say Fuji seems to be a bit more efficient and straightforward in switching from Auto to any specific ISO, Shutter Speed than Zf but Nikon is not bad in anyway it works like any other normal modern camera. [...] You can also set ISO to one of the custom button on the front or the record button so you don't have to go to the menu on the screen to change it. [...]

[...] For what it's worth, I've used the Nikon SnapBridge app's geotagging feature for over 7 years with my old D7500, and it has always worked just fine. It's odd that it has such trouble with the Zf.

Ordered mine yesterday with the 40mm f2 se, shop i got it from throwing in an ftz adapter and a sd czrd to boot, this video amped the excitement a bunch more..great video my guy!

I brought my Nikon ZF for happy snaps , upgrade from my Nikon D5500 had since release. ZF is such a beautiful fun camera. No upgrades now take this beauty to the grave with me .

I own an x100, xt3 and x pro3 a Gfx 50r, a Leica M10 and the ZF. The ZF is an amazing tool overall - it blows Fuji x out the water no competition.

I got one and haven’t used my Fujis or Leicas since. I got the voigtlander close focus adaptor for it to pair with my M glass and it’s awesome. [...]

A Nikon user since 1976, i like this beauty ZF, i have used FM2 & FE2 previously. A grip is required for ZF, built in grip will be a better choice .

I've had a lot of cameras over 30+ years, including Hasselblad and Rolleiflex, and Nikon for the entire period. Not yet sure if this is my favorite of all time, but it's definitely in the running.

As a former XT4 user and currently using a Nikon Zf, I can say Nikon is miles ahead of Fuji. [...]

Hello, I don't normally post but I must. I own both the fuji x100V and many fuji cameras, and lens ..I also own Nikon z9, and zf...there is no comparison between Zf and fuji x100. I like both cameras but nikon zf is superior in every way
