Hands-on with the Nikon Z fc

Nikon has just announced its newest Z-mount mirrorless camera, the retro-styled Z fc, and a silver edition of its 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 ‘pancake’ kit zoom to match. We’ve been fortunate enough to get our hands on pre-production copies of both, so let’s take a tour and take in all the details of Nikon’s latest release.

Nikon tells us that the Z fc was designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible, with the performance you would expect from a modern camera but with controls and ergonomics that might encourage you to slow down a bit. We’ll see if that holds true as we go through our tour, but we have to admit that we find the Z fc to be a truly handsome camera, right down to the 1970’s-inspired Nikon logo on the viewfinder hump.
