Nikon Z fc + 28mm f/2.8 SE Silver (SKU N-VOA090K001)

The Nikon Z fc combines classic styling with modern technology, making it a great choice for content creators. It features a stylish retro design inspired by Nikon’s film cameras, high image quality thanks to the Z mirrorless system, and a feature set tailored for vlogging and video work.

This DX-format mirrorless camera uses a 20.9MP CMOS sensor paired with the EXPEED 6 image processor. This combination delivers fast shooting up to 11 frames per second, UHD 4K video recording at 30p, and a native ISO range up to 51200. Despite its vintage look, the Z fc is optimized for current content creation, with a fully articulating touchscreen LCD, live streaming support, compatibility with external microphones, and an advanced 209-point autofocus system with full-time subject tracking and eye-detection AF.

Design and Handling

The Z fc’s physical design clearly pays homage to Nikon’s classic SLR film cameras. The body includes dedicated dials for ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation, giving a tactile and intuitive shooting experience. A 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides a sharp, clear view for eye-level shooting. The camera also supports SnapBridge wireless connectivity so you can pair it with a mobile device for remote control and easy image transfer.

For added convenience when shooting on location or during longer sessions, the Z fc allows in-camera battery charging and supports power delivery through its USB Type-C port.

Sensor, Processor, and Autofocus

The 20.9MP DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 processor are designed to deliver a versatile mix of high sensitivity, detailed image quality, and speed. The native ISO range of 100 to 51200 lets you work in many different lighting conditions and can be expanded up to ISO 204800 for very low-light situations. The combination of resolution and sensor size helps produce clean images with smooth color transitions and reduced noise throughout the ISO range.

Beyond image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also brings speed to the entire system, including continuous shooting at up to 11 fps at full resolution. The sensor incorporates a 209-point hybrid autofocus system, using both phase-detection and contrast-detection methods to quickly and accurately lock focus for both stills and video. Eye Detection AF uses facial recognition to maintain focus on a subject’s eyes.

Video Capabilities

The Z fc is capable of much more than still photography. It records UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps and Full HD video at up to 120 fps, enabling smooth slow-motion effects. Video footage can be saved directly to the memory card in-camera. Time-lapse movies can also be created in-camera, giving you creative options without needing additional software.

Heritage Controls with Modern Functions

The camera features precision-machined aluminum dials with engraved markings and mechanical controls for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. These are complemented by intuitive functions for quick access to auto mode, frequently used settings, and menu help guidance.

Body Design, Screen, and Connectivity
