Nikon Z fc Review
The Nikon Z fc is an APS-C mirrorless camera that successfully brings back the design of the company's film cameras. It offers plenty of hands-on controls, a vlogger-friendly fully articulating touchscreen, excellent still and video quality, and plenty of customizability. It could use refinement in a few areas, but for those looking for an eye-catching camera that can capture the moment for social media and more, the Z fc is a solid choice.
Pros:
- Those looking for a light, inexpensive and stylish ILC with direct controls and vlogging-friendly features.
Cons:
- Those who prefer a more substantial-feeling body, best-in-class autofocus or a wider selection of native lenses.

Nikon Z fc review
The Nikon Z fc is a triumph of design that offers a different shooting experience to the Nikon Z50 at a great price. The vari-angle screen is also an inspired choice that embodies Nikon's old-meets-new 'fusion' concept. More advanced photographers might miss the lack of weather-proofing and a larger full-frame sensor, especially considering current native lens availability. But for everyone else, the Z fc is a great mix of retro design and mirrorless shooting power.
Pros:
- Beautiful design
- Useful vari-angle touch screen
- A well-struck balance of old and new
- Great value
Cons:
- Needs more native lenses
- Grip less suited to large lenses
- No UHS-II support

Nikon Z FC Mirrorless Digital Camera Body Only Black With Kit Box - Brand New review
While a flash and a bigger sensor would have been welcome, the Nikon Z Fc has something going for it not every camera achieves: it’s fun. The Nikon Z Fc is so much fun to use, and a genuine delight of a camera.
Pros:
- Feels great to use and in the hands, Retro controls work as well as they would in a film camera, Film modes are customisable and work really well, Supports 4K video capture, Vary-angle touchscreen is a great inclusion, Charges on USB Type C
Cons:
- No flash, Lacks in-body stabilisation, Not a full-frame sensor, Only 20 megapixels, Wireless connections won't always work

Nikon Z FC review
It should come as no surprise that Nikon, one of the original 35mm film SLR makers, made such an enjoyable, timelessly classic camera as the Nikon Z fc
Pros:
- Impressive photo & video quality, Timeless design & good user experience, Solid durability, Portable & versatile, Competitive value among retro style category & price point
Cons:
- Adequate autofocus & speed, could be improved, Native Z-mount lens selection is still limited, but expanding, Battery life is adequate, in-camera charging is usable

Nikon Z FC review
As always, there is the conflict of interests involved in seeing a product that “I want” as well as considering "I need", and the Nikon Z fc very definitely falls into the highly desirable category of "I want".
Pros:
- Beautiful retro design, Control via analogue dials, Fast and accurate AF, Very high build quality, Excellent ergonomics, Good quality video, Excellent EVF
Cons:
- No inbuilt VR, No weather resistance, Some controls too easily nudged

Nikon Z FC review
The Nikon Z fc is a desirably retro-fashioned yet affordable entry point into Nikon’s growing Z series mirrorless camera lineup, providing access to a growing number of lenses and accessories.
Pros:
- Stylish design, Growing lens lineup, Manual controls, Touchscreen
Cons:
- ‘Only’ an APS-C sensor, Lacks the waterproofing
