Abstract: The new Z fc is Nikon's second ever mirrorless camera with an APS-C size sensor, following the Z50 that was released in 2019. The Z fc sports a much more classic, retro design than the more modern looking Z50, featuring several familiar physical controls...
Compromised ergonomics, 'Only' 20.9 megapixels, Lack of DX Z-mount lenses
The Nikon Z fc is an unapologetically retro camera with all the mod cons you'd expect from a current mirrorless model. Its aluminium dials are a joy to operate and the body looks so pretty you'll likely display the camera when it's not in use. But the Z f...

Abstract: Speaking of the rear display, the Z fc's display is 3" and has approximately 1.04M dots of resolution. The display flips out to the side, allowing it to be used as a selfie display. The vari-angle display should also prove useful for vloggers, allowing th...
As it's almost identical to the Nikon Z50 internally, it's very likely that the Nikon Z fc will produce the same excellent image quality. However, its handling is quite different as, with the exception of using a camera dial to adjust the aperture setting...
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, Varyangle touchscreen is a great inclusion, Charges on USB Type C
No flash, Lacks inbody stabilisation, Not a fullframe sensor, Only 20 megapixels, Wireless connections won't always work

Fairly priced entry into Z mount,Decent image quality potential - if you invest in the right lens,Retro dial-based controls
Plasticky build quality,Slow kit lens doesn't represent camera's true capability,Autofocus not a patch on Canon's EOS R,Not full-frame - just to avoid any doubts

Beautiful design, Useful vari-angle touch screen, A well-struck balance of old and new, Great value
Needs more native lenses, Grip less suited to large lenses, No UHS-II support
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 m...
