Zf 24.5MP Pro Mirrorless Body

Increíble cámara Nikon. Une dos mundos divididos hasta ahora: el emocionante mundo tecnológico mirror-less digital de 2025 y el romántico mundo vintage film, mecánico de los 1980s. Es una cámara que me recuerda cuando y como me enamoré de la fotografía con la Nikon FM2 (en la cual está inspirada esta nueva Zf). Fascinante, hermosa, compleja…la Zf hizo volverme a enamorar de la fotografía. Gracias Nikon!

Clumsy operation with the PSAM / traditional dials combination design while the native z lenses offers no aperture rings. Very confusing! NO interval steps access when using SS dial for SS unless locking into 1/3 steps mode where you can only use back dial for SS. The menu is even worst than Fuji’s which is not organized well already. Some term/ name choices of the parameters were not as consistent in the menu to me. Also seems accessing “edit I-menu” function via MY MENU is not working. It could be user (my) error but I still can’t figure out after i spent quite some time on it. The play button should be placed on the right side. Putting all the way to the left top corner makes quick review / focus check after shots clumsy. The manual focus green box confirmation is amazing tho. Hope it also have Fuji’s split screen for manual focus to make final fine tune ( if necessary) even easier as pin focus point is not available for manual focus. The EVF is very nice but the refresh rate is quite slow in today’s standard. Some users reported on internet that they experienced EVF lag or refresh rate drop when shooting although I have not experienced such issue myself. The picture control- ( similar thing to Fuji’s film sim) is not as user friendly as Fuji’s film sim. It works to a degree but just not as intuitive as Fuji when customizing your own recipes. Nikon offers a software to that and there is a website out there dedicated to this feature but I am not sure if I can get the color easily as on the Fuji cameras still. Pros: built quality, mount / flange adaptability, nostalgic body design ( one of the all time best looking body besides Leica M bodies), tactile dials and controls, auto focus, 3D tracking, manual focus green box confirmation, image quality, one of the best AWB system out there, image quality is top notch, IBIS is one of the best also, simple standard jpeg SOOC color ( without sophisticated film-sim) is better than almost any system. Overall it is a nice attempt from Nikon. It is absolutely beautiful and well built with very nice IQ. But.. There are still lot of areas to catch up and improve to make a great old school digital cameras..something Nikon intends to make it to be. I would recommend this camera to more sophisticated users and to those who like the style of the look but don’t mind use it the way as a regular digital mirrorless.

Es una excelente cámara. Du diseño retro es genial. Sus funciones son bastante buenas, actuales y permite un control avanzado de funciones que cámaras de su rango no tienen. Con 8 pasos de estabilización (usando lentes Nikon Z), la función de pixel shift para lograr archivos de hasta 96MP y el diseño, se convirtió en mi nueva cámara de viaje y fotografía callejera.

I shot an XT-4 for a couple years, and while I loved the built-in color formulas for the JPEGs, and the controls, the AF was not very good for moving subjects, and the bigger F2.8 glass balanced in a way that always made me have to think about things. The ZF has fabulous AF, great sensor, and controls that are on par with Fuji. Also a bigger camera, and that’s great for me as I have larger hands. I added one of the many grips that can be found on Amazon - and good to go. I pair this with a z7ii for a great tandem.

Great camera, autofocus is lighting fast
