Nikon's new ZF...very cool!

[Brownie]

I'd have to wait and see what it actually ends up being, but this could be a LOT of fun.

The rumored Nikon Zf will have the retro charm to blow Fujifilm out the water

Nikon fans rejoice – a full-frame version of the Z fc could be in the pipeline for 2023

Between this and Fuji...maybe Sony should bring back the Minolta Maxxum 9, only in digital E-Mount!

But you hate dials you have to move dont you Tim?

No, I hate dials that can't be programmed to a custom mode.

I don't know what this thing is all about, it just looks like fun. Definitely more of a vacation type camera than something I'd use at the track.

The photos are the Z Fc, the crop sensor version that's already available. No idea if they'll follow suit or step up their game for the FF one. The article says they expect a larger body.

I can see you wandering around a vacation spot with one of these and a compact zoom hanging around your neck on a skinny strap, dressed in some kind of floral Hawaiian shirt, big old baggy shorts, roman sandals and white socks pulled up to your knees!

I think you just you actually just put into words a very accurate visual of Tim on tour, but no I quite like the dials on cameras

I love the idea, but really don't like the price - and then I still need an adapter for my F lenses, or I have to buy into the Z range.... and by this time I am adding it up and wondering why not just buy an RV!

I would more likely buy an FM in film flavor and then decorate the white wall behind this monitor with prints - but then again, I can print D700 shots if they must be Nikon (I think I just talked myself out of a film camera)

Actually, there are three adapters on the market that let you mount Sony E to Nikon Z with full functionality. I'd been thinking about a Z8 and one of those adapters in the event that Sony's A9III doesn't fill the bill. No need to change glass.

Film camera? I have about 60...

It's cool and retro, but not for me
