Review: A Nice Little Camera for the Serious or Less-Serious Photographer - Disclaimer: I’m speaking from the perspective of a dabbler, not a pro or even a serious hobbyist. If you fall into one of those categories, there are far more technical reviews you can read. I am reviewing from the perspective of someone who just wants to take some nice pictures but is not a camera expert. Bear that in mind if you choose to read on. Last year I decided I wanted an upgrade from an older Nikon (D3200?) purchased over a decade ago. There was nothing wrong with my old camera, but it lacked certain features, like wireless photo transfer, which made things inconvenient, and I just wanted something a little smaller and newer. I did a lot of shopping and comparing and ultimately settled back on Nikon and this particular model for three reasons: 1. The Fuji camera I was looking at was very sold out. 2. The Zfc had good reviews and a reasonable price point. 3. I had been using my old Nikon camera recently and was familiar with the functionality. (I did have a Fuji once upon a time, but it was a very, very long time ago in digital camera years.) I also have small hands, so size and weight are really important. I think I would have done fine with either this camera or the Fuji I was looking at, but in any case, it was a factor. I’ve been using this camera for about a year now and taken it on a few travels. It has lived up to expectations as far as size and weight, but definitely do yourself a favor and buy the grip. It’s not very expensive, it seamlessly blends in and doesn’t affect the vintage look, and I’m not sure how anyone functions without it. The lens the camera came with (16-50mm) is basic but serviceable, and if you’re just starting off on your DSLR journey it will take a nice enough photo until you start wanting something more/different. I’ve purchased a few lenses since, including a heavier zoom lens and one non-Nikon brand lens. Everything has connected smoothly and worked well with the camera. Getting Around: The menus are fairly intuitive, and similar enough to the older model that I didn’t have to struggle to learn where everything was. (If this is your first, you will, unfortunately, have to learn where everything is.) Ironically, the one thing I’ve really struggled with on this camera is the gosh-darn wireless photo transfer! Every time I want to use it I spend too much time trying to make it work, although this is partly because I photo dump so infrequently. I’ve had more luck getting an SD card reader and going that route. Durability: Other than that, technically-speaking, I’ve had no complaints. The battery life has been very good, and when I was trying my hand at some night photography when it was positively freezing (literally right at freezing) out, it handled the weather like a champ. Speaking of “like a champ,” the camera has taken some small tumbles (maybe a foot or so onto carpet, but a tumble nonetheless) and been slung around inside a camera bag inside my backpack and shows no signs of trouble. I suppose these days you don’t expect a product to break when the wind blows on it, but when you pay over a thousand dollars for something, you’re also afraid that it will break when the wind blows on it. So far, so good. Photo Quality: Obviously the lens has some bearing on the photos you take, but I’ve generally been happy with the pictures I’ve taken. The colors are brilliant and the pictures crisp. I think we all have our sense of what colors should look like, so of course I will tinker a little bit afterward, but a lot of the time the picture is absolutely fine without adjustment. Autofocus mostly knows what it’s doing, and when it doesn’t I switch to manual, and the camera has, thus far, performed well in lower light. (Noting here that while I mostly use autofocus, I also use manual settings for everything else. There’s no shame in putting your camera on full-auto, but sometimes these cameras can go a little overboard in favor of letting in light, and it washes out your results in a way no photo app can salvage. This PSA is also my way of saying, “I do not have a lot of experience with the auto settings.”) In short, this is a really nice camera for the price point, good for smaller hands, and it travels well. It’s obviously not a super-pro-level rig (see: price point) but if you’re like me and you just want to take some nice pictures of your journeys (whether that’s literal journeys or the figurative journey of life) then you can’t do much better and could do a whole lot worse. (And did I mention that it’s cute? It’s a really cute camera. I love a vintage-looking anything.)
Review: Best of digital and SLR - I love this camera. I came up with Nikon film SLRs including the FM2 that this is based upon so I find the Zfc very intuitive to handle. It's better than my D7000. The controls on the top deck are great--no menu-diving for basic adjustments! The fold-out display itself is well organized and convenient especially since it will flip around and fold flat against the camera. I use the touchscreen all the time. The viewfinder is bright and not too busy. Picture quality is excellent shooting JPGs at the FINE level. I like the "Silent" setting--good for quiet, indoor events. I bought an SB-700 speedlight--no complaints there. The Zfc will even accept my legacy SB-25 on manual. Autofocus is fantastic, metering great. I use some of the creative filter settings. Snapbridge works well with my Android phone. Very easy to review and share images in the moment with onboard wifi & Bluetooth. I'm aware that the full-frame Nikon Zf is favored by many for its sensor size and marginally higher-quality images. If I want to approximate that with the Zfc though, I can shoot RAW up to about 20 MB/shot. I don't use the camera for video at all--I'm a stills guy who prefers shooting news events and features. The Zfc does feel light and smaller by comparison with the Zf. That's not necessarily a drawback as I believe the quality is fine, although I did add a Smallrig grip that matches the camera perfectly. If you want to want to do street photography without spending a ton of money, get the Nikkor 28mm 2.8 prime or one of the even more diminutive, relatively fast lenses and blast away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely LOVE this camera.
*by G***. on June 16, 2025*

While I am not a professional photographer, I can confirm I am now the go-to photographer within my family/friends group. This beautiful retro-style camera puts out amazing pictures. (Noting the photo is only as good as the lens you buy) with quality lenses this camera is spectacular. I love the retro look, it’s not cheap plastic either. Hands down the best (and most favorite) camera I’ve ever owned. There are mixed signals regarding the auto-focus on video mode out, I personally do not have any problems. I find the settings I need and hit record and it tracks/focuses like a Boss. Love this camera- period. As for the seller: arrived early, well packaged, in pristine condition. Original packaging undamaged in transit. Cost was appropriate and not inflated, couldnt ask for a smoother transaction truth be told. I do recommend the seller as well as the camera.
