The Zf has been a massive win for me. Such a bloody good camera.
The best thing about adapting older lenses or manual focus lenses is the subject/eye tracking while in manual focus and the ability to punch in for focus on the Zf!
YES...forgot to mention that..
@@ogonzillacan you try Sony/Sigma E lenses with aperture ring? If you have smart E to Z adapter.
Hello! I have a question. can this camera record 4k 60 externally? For redundancy atomos ninja v?
No one talks about being able to flip and hide the screen. I find this very appealing
Fair point but that's probably because it's a feature that has been around for many years. I remember having it on my D5100 and it wasn't a new feature then either.
It's my favorite thing about the fully articulating screen lol
I do too.
It's great if you like fully articulang screens, saves battery and protects the screen but I have moved on to tilting screens, suits me better because I mostly do photography.@@just_A_Hack
Would be more effective if it had a joystick…..
I think Nikon’s system regarding the shooting style and dials is actually extremely smart. It allows you to switch between modes super fast without having to tweak every dials each time.
Saves you a LOT of time and makes user experience much smoother.
Well done Nikon !
As a Fuji user who recently switched to Nikon, this camera is really intriguing.
Z8 for wildlife and Zf for Macro and basically everything else, where the huge Z8 would be out of place.
I just love that Nikon went with the magnesium adamentium vibraneum alloy for the top plate, it really gives this camera a beautiful feel to it
Congrats, I pre-ordered mine but still didn't get a chance to pick it up yet as I opted for in-store collection. I live using this exactly as you mentioned, with the screen tucked in. However, if you miss the joystick, you can always map the rear screen to move focus points, which is terribly useful. You'll just end up with a lot of fingerprints! Enjoy!
I think Fujifilm perfected the manual controls for that ''retro'' feel. Very intuitive, very efficient. That being said, this new Nikon Zf is just beautiful.
The controls of this camera seem to offer Fujifilm-like dials but with a bridge so that people used to PASM aren't alienated.
Of course Nikon perfected the actual manual controls on SLRs back in the 60s and 70s. But I actually think Olympus did it better with the OM series by having the shutter speed dial around the lens mount - it’s brilliant you literally do not have to take the camera away from your eye to manually adjust SS.
After using an XPro1 since release, and the Df ( and D200, D3s, and now a Z6ii) I have to say I like how their controls work on (d)slrs, but the Fuji auto modes interface with the retro style is more intuitive. To me. But, I do LOVE my non-retro styled Nikons. It’s too easy to make them lie to you with the retro interface/dials.
I fear this might be the end of Fuji :(
@@bLaffixI hope not. I'm still waiting for the X-T30 mk. III 😀
Hey Omar, thanks for all the comparisons. I'm a fuji shooter (X-Pro 2), but the Zf is definitely on my shortlist. It's the Fuji XT but with Full Frame. Just wish the lenses had a shutter dial. But a few of the Voigtlander lenses look very good with this.
You might be able to map the focus ring to be a shutter dial or other kind of dial. I haven't tried, but it might be possible.
You can use smart E to Z adapter and use Sony/Sigma E lenses with aperture ring. I think that’s a better choices than using adapting F lenses. Hopefully soon Sigma will release more Z mount lenses.
Cameras like the Zf are why my love affair with Nikon has endured for more than 40 years, bless Nikon for giving us what we want.
the Zf is fantastic, the subject detection with manual lenses is so good. as somebody who repair lenses, this is something that helps give me more enjoyment out of my adapted lenses from moree than 50 years ago.
Mine arrives next week! Can't wait. Thanks for the excellent preview and comparisons. My intro to mirrorless was Fuji X-Pro2 (which made nice photos but didn't ultimately live up to expectations). I now have 2 Z6s, a Z8 and Z9. The Zf will be my "every day" camera. Have a Z 40mm f/2.0 waiting to, er, hook up.
This is what I have been waiting for!! Hope you are well Omar!
Finally!! I've been waiting for this!!
Omar, I love your reviews. You cover the feel of the camera uniquely. Well worth the watch.
Great video Omar. I have seen so many review videos on this camera and your video is the best. Thanks
Omar, Nice quick overview. I've recently made the 100% switch from Canon to Nikon. Have had the Z50 and multiple DX lenses, several Z FF lenses, briefly owned a Z6ii, and expected I'd be great with a ZF. Looked forward to the flippy screen and better IBIS. Loved the Z6ii files when i had one earlier. Put my pre-order in the first morning it was announced. Ten days ago our regional Nikon sales rep was at an area dealer with the camera so I went to check it out. While I would have preferred a Z6iii, given we'll have a longer wait for that, I was prepared to go with the ZF. I didn't expect to have issues with the ZF's ergos. (I've owned a number of Fujis and was good with those.) But when I actually laid hands on it, I was surprised at how negative a reaction to its body shape I had. It does feel very solid. But it is VERY hard to hold comfortably, even with the SmallRig accessory grip it still feels like it might slip from your hand. You feel the need to cradle it in your left hand, or you end up really squeezing it with your right hand. Contributing to the problem is that the leatherette covering is not the usual grippy material, but some slippery, more plasticky feeling material. The lack of any sort of bumper or edge on the back (to help cradle your thumb) is also really missed. Sooo, I cancelled my pre-order. Not sure what I'll get...buy a used Z6ii, or wait for the Z6iii? Moral of the story - Get your hands on one before buying from a place you can't return it to.
I bought a Nikon Df when it came out back in the day and I loved that camera. It's taken a decade to get another one that follows in it's footsteps. If I was still in the Nikon universe, I'd certainly be interested to get one...
The way you look genuinely happy just gets me. ❤
I could not resist so I have just placed a pre-order with the best Nikon dealer here in London for a Nikon Zf. I will not be getting rid of any of my Fuji kit but it is nice to be adding to my older Nikon gear of SLR and DSLR cameras. (Edit 2 weeks later) I have now picked up two Zf cameras and just starting to get to grips with how to use them. So far I am really impressed and very happy with my purchases.
What a fantastic way to explain the iso of this camera. Others have attempted. No one is even close to your understanding. Bravo brother. My therapy session for this week is complete. I feel rejuvenated. Still waiting for the damn camera to arrive.
Awesome, I can't wait for mine to get here! It appears the influencers are first in line to receive it. I look forward to your reviews!
Mine was delivered yesterday. Looking forward to using it.
Enjoy!
Thanks Omar always a pleassure to watch your reviews !
Excellent video, Omar. Thank you for this. It was the review that best helped me when choosing a new camera. Hugs from Brazil.
Excellent video! We've been curious about this camera as it compares to our Fujifilm cameras and you answered all of our questions. Thanks!
Outside of the Nikon 26mm, 28mm, 40mm. Manual lenses to keep the size down is what I will be looking for.
Cool first look - looking forward to examples of the photo's you take with it !
Very good Omar , really enjoyed your look at the ZF.
Mine is arriving today in Moss Green! Love my X-T5 but excited to see which one continues to be my daily carry street camera. Z8 already replaced my Fuji for weddings and events due to dynamic range, low light performance, af, and depth of field. I love Fujifilm, but it's hard not to love these new Nikons too!
Send me a photo on instagram!! Love to see it in that color. @ogonzilla
I looove that they offer different colors. More manufacturers should bring that option back for their cameras. I have the burnt orange coming in today.
@@ogonzilla will do!!!
Please Omar don’t you ever stop making videos. I just love how you do these rundowns!
I bet the Z mount Voightlander lenses would go very well with this camera. The 35 and 50 F2 APOs are awesome. I'd like to try the 40mm f1.2
Awesome camera!
Hey Omar, on the ZF you have an option to use part of the screen as a joystick, it may not be as great as a true joystick ( especialy if you use you camera screen closed ^^ ) but it's still a nice thing to have.
I got my Df earlier today, play with it a few hours. My initial impression is it feels like a mirrorless camera in DSLR body. It’s hefty and the shutter sound is almost the same as Df and the focus is fantastic. Only wish it has a Z8 screen (I’m photo only).
Nice overview, Omar. Glad you pronounced it “Zed F”. You made us Canadians happy. 😊 Seriously, one of the other strengths of the Zf is the 2.2” LCD screen, especially since there is no joystick. I’ve gotten so used to the 2.2” screen on my Z7ii that it is really hard for me for work with a camera that has a smaller screen now. Once you buy one and get the SmallRig grip, I’d love to see a size comparison with your Z8. My Z7ii with the SmallRig grip is actually pretty close to Z8 dimensions and I guess the Zf might be as well once the grip is added.
In Europe you will get a Grip with the Nikon Zf…. Mine will come today! 😍
Great video! Cant wait to get mine. Shipping date in japan is in the 27th with some freebies and I also ordered the Japan exclusive nikon grip. I prefer it over the smallrig grip for the zf.
What site did you order the grip from?
@@DJKISSchitown I live in Japan so I ordered it from official Nikon japan website. Yodobashi camera also have a preorder open right now.
Well, the excitement of unboxing a new camera gets old as soon as you finish opening it, doesn't it? 😆 That's why we get GAS! It still a good feeling...thanks for sharing Omar!
That Jared cameo was beautiful.
OH boy I really really reaaaaallllyyy need one. What a great piece of tech. Love it!
Omar, I'm seriously considering getting the Nikon Zf. This first impressions video was immensely helpful. Especially the parts about the physical feel and buttons. I would have never thought of the shooting modes and how they relate to the dials. I've never shot Fujifilm so I don't have that frame of reference that you brought forward. Well done!
get the Zf, it is really good
@@richardhaw9757 I’m already a Nikon shooter with a good range of quality lenses for my Z5, so I’ve been waiting for a Z camera that would be a big enough jump for me up (I’m a non-professional who does street, theatre, travel, and headshot/portrait/publicity photography). Between the more tactile form factor, the flip screen on the full body camera, and better autofocus this may be the one!
@@GeoChild that flippy screen is helpful for street
With Nikon cameras, all the buttons have a different feel. Take the Z6ii and look at the top. The ISO and Movie button all have a different pitch, and even the area around the button. This is something I’ve always loved about Nikon cameras, the little little details.
True true...but why the bottom right only? lol
@@ogonzilla 🤣
Another great video. I'm curious if you are going to do a video where you deep dive into your impressions of the image quality in real world use.
Thanks for always entertaining Omar 🙂
Thanks Omar!
I got the XT3 and was looking for nikon’s bodies. Really helpfull.
And great camera!!
I've been using the Canon 90 camera since 2019/20 and I gotta say this is the first camera for photography that im thinking about getting!
I had a black FE2 back in the day. I adored that camera. 😍 The Zf looks like good mirrorless bang-for-buck from Nikon (at last!)
Nice Vid and honest feedback on the Zf!! But, Wow!! You have alot of brands you shoot with!!! Must get crazy at times with overlapping features, glass and accessories. I would love to see you do a video on which accessories have been your best and worst across the brands you shoot with.
This is the review I’ve been waiting for! Omar on the Zf.
So glad Nikon built this as a solid, real camera. In anticipation of the ZF release, I only just recently checked out the ZFC in a store. I was totally shocked, I had to check a number of times that it wasn't a plastic toy replica just for display.
A totally different review, like an ergonomic review. Very important because it complements the rest of the videos. We seldom see a video like this one with good production, including audio. As I said it's not better than Matt Granger's preview with a photoshoot, AF comparison etc, it's complementary.
The pasm control works the same on the older film cameras. It’s easier for me. I’m going to order one.
Other than the Z8, this is the only Nikon camera since they went mirrorless that has tempted me. The price is stellar for what you get also. The lenses are the main thing holding me back. (that and I don't neeeed the camera)
I had my hands on this camera in a store yesterday & I couldn't quickly figure out how the ISO dial works. There's a "C" setting that I heard someone call "Control," that I was hoping to map to Auto (like you show in the Fuji system), but the camera had an internal auto-iso setting ... & if that was set, nothing you set the dial to did anything, even C. Pretty confused, could d/l & read the manual, but imo it's pretty crazy confusing coming to it from a Z6. I tooootally agree with you abt the shutter speed dial in A mode, I'm getting older & forget stuff, that would drive me bonkers. I also don't love the 1/3 shutter spot, since I prefer adjusting in 1/2 stop increments on my Z6. Actually, I wish you could set it to full stop increments, so it better matched things during the film days & you could move quickly. I thought I was going to love & buy this camera, but somehow they messed up the controls so much it's 100% a deal-breaker for me. Why couldn't they just copy Fuji. Maybe next time, sigh.
One of the best videos on the Zf that I have viewed. And I really all the closeups of the function dials. I did notice on my Z5's that the lower button on the back is also lower than the other three. I don't care for the battery compartment and memory card slot combined and on the bottom. Nikon does that with the Z50 and it's the only thing I dislike about my Z50 and Z30. I like the Z5 having dual card slots, although I really haven't had a true need for it for my work. Your comment about lenses compared to the Fuji - I have the 28mm, 40mm full frame compact Z lenses. I also had the 24-50z. Although they are not "pro" version lenses, they are sharp and compact - and reasonably priced! Again great video, but will I buy one - No. My Z5's do me right.
Would love to see this in different colors.
Better looking than any of those Fuji ones. Thanks Nikon
Really well done details on the unboxing- will use some of your links. Really close to entering back into the photo world after a 5 year break - still have all my FX lenses. 3:00
Thanks Omar for another great video. I'm an amateur who shoots mainly my family and travel. I previously shot lots of landscape and nature with a D750. I have the XT5,X100V and XT3. I was thinking about selling the latter 2 and getting aZ8 or used GFX 100s for landscape, nature etc. Now that the Zf is outI'll have to consider it. Any thoughts?
Looks nice. However, I would get the Voigtlander 35mm Z-Mount lens. It is manual focus only, but I would prefer the whole retro vintage look.
I am Oly shooter and love my m43 set but this brings back my Nikon shooting days back.
The RAW files will carry the B&W profile that you select with them and you have your RAW processor honor the camera profiles, you get a B&W RAW file that you can change back to color. It’s a wonderful thing.
I have my Adobe products set to use the Camera's profiles by default instead of their profiles. It works great.
Can you use the d-pad to change focus points? Or do you have to use the screen for that?
Fantastic video! Can't wait to see more about Nikon Zf on you channel :D
Maybe you could make a comparison between X-T5 and Zf in which you'd try to get make both cameras shoot like film cameras? I know that a lot is up to post-processing in Lightroom (or any other tool), but it could be super interesting to see which one gives better results.
The best thing about this video? apart from Omar, obviously. The shout out to Flossy Carter! 😂😂 Absolutely brilliant! As you got half way through the catch phrase, I was thinking, "hang on a minute". Loved it. Who knew you watched Floss and White Shoes? My respect for you rose by at least 2% after that!
Considering parity between my Nikon FA and this, the mode selections work exactly the same, which I like
It’s brilliant, love it so far, plus it arrived day after release no 3 month wait
Wow,you have a beautiful camera!
Wow thank you! Youre the only youtuber who asnwered my question about nikon and fuji 😂
Beautiful cam! You make me dream Omar. But i can't afford it.
Thanks for this video. Please do the detailed autofocus comparisons between your Z6 ll and ZF.
ISO PERFORMANCE on the Zf is stellar ❤😊❤❤❤
I want one so bad
I'm dying to get a retro look like camera and the only thing that is getting me alway from fuiji is the APS-C sensor. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do love FF cameras. This Nikon is going to be my next one, for sure.
5:10 The continuity bothered me also on my black Zfc, but then I bought the original Nikon grip and it fixes it. So I will do the same with the Zf, will order the original grip. It also adds more protection to the bottom.
Question...if you had to replace a Z6II (yes I looked at my buttons when you mentioned it, didn't notice that either) would you...get a Zf or wait for a Z6III?
I have a Z8 so the question is not fair. Zf but z6iii if no z8
I kinda agree on the feel of lesser robust build quality on the Zfc. I also own the Z9. Actually I never take photos with the Zfc. I have a tan leather case on it and leather camera strap so I just carry it on my shoulder cuz I look so cool. I heard passerby say "look at that guy Bill, he looks so cool especially with that retro camera with the leather, must be expensive!!" so you see you don't need to be cool, just have to look cool. Thanks Omar
i hope you can create a full tutorial for this Nikon ZF.. im transition to Nikon.. but still keep my xt3.. for now..
I think this will be my first camera in the Z system. Coming form a D850 though which still does everything I want it to do. I wonder when will Nikon put the 45mp Z8 sensor in this beauty.
You have to pop the battery to take out the MicroSD card. GoPro shooters are used to this. And I love the Klesmer music on the outtro.
I received mine yesterday. Battery had no charge. I kept pressing WB button because I was dying for a good hold for the body. Build quality is very good. I havent' figured out how to move focus point on touch screen while using EVF. Menu system is much better than my D850.
There seems to be a bug at 14:28: Zf can shoot 420 10bit instead of 422 10bit. This camera is selling like crazy in China. I've been waiting in line for half a month since I ordered it.
It's popular everywhere. I heard it's out of stock in US as well.
Love it
awesome, ,curious is this your new family camera? im still using xt2,, thinking about xt5 or nikon zf. Any thoughts?
The wonderful sensor of the Z6II, combined with the Expeed 7 processor from the Z9/Z8, along with some new industry-first technologies...and all wrapped up in a well-designed retro body that apes the original Nikon FM/FE line of 35mm cameras? And real brass dials?
More strategies like this, please.
@@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas I think Omar probably just got the camera. Hopefully he'll come back with a more in-depth review that covers things like pixel-shift and the all-new Focus Point Sensor Stabilization.
The leatherette on the top prism section is exactly like the Nikon FE/FE2 which its design pays homage to and looks identical to. Nikon going "retro" of its own SLRs of the past would not have it any other way.
Also worth noting about build quality, the top dials are made of brass, so years down the line it will age beautifully, just like the FE did with it's brassiness when the paint wears down, another true retro nod to It's heritage.
Haha the cameo!
I like it. I agree with the slightly confused styling - leatherette on the prism bump yet lacking where the buttons are. And the function switch which disables the shutter dial in SP would definitely confuse this Fuji fan boy 😂. I do appreciate the fully folding screen so you can avoid "nose grease" on the screen when using the viewfinder full-time. Also good to know you can protect the screen when you put the camera in your bag. Would I buy one? If deciding on full frame, possibly. But as I'd need to ditch most of my Fuji apsc lenses at the same time, I'd also consider offerings from Sony and of course from Fuji themselves.
That music at the end really made me laugh .... oh yeah, nice camera !
This camera would be perfect if the back was the same as the Fuji XT cameras. I just hope 1 day they add a customizable d-pad, joystick and non flippy screen, everything else is perfect!! And also their own film simulations like Fuji
One unfortunate aspect of the 40 mm and 28mm is that they are not water resistant. I had considered taking the Z6ii and those two small lenses on a trip walking the Camino de Santiago, but it rains almost every day. Those small “fujichrome” have very good weather sealing. I was very happy with the Fuji on the trip.
I think Nikon's next step is to make a Z1 or Z3 that's like the X-Pro series.... but FF.
I supposed for the rear LCD if you really felt like you had to, you could cut out part of a film package and tape it to the back of the LCD (like some people did with their film SLRs to remind them of what film was loaded (although doing so may make it harder to put the screen flat with the LCD facing you).
I would say that while the Zf has a smaller grip, I think Nikon made the right choice by making it smaller, and then letting the user add a third party grip (like the Smallrig grip) later, but not force people to have a specific grip (some may prefer little to no grip actually) so the idea that they made this a "choice" was probably a good one. I would probably get the Smallrig grip if I get a Zf for the times when I want to use larger lenses, although I never found the grip on the XT20/XT30 to be a problem with reasonably sized lenses (like the XF 55-200) when I had it. The only people that might find the small grip a problem would be people trying to carry around larger lenses by just the grip, in which cas iwould say you should be using a strap instead (like a Rapid strap or something that connects to the lens itself). There's also a thumb grip you can get that fits into the hotshoe, like you can get for some of the Fuji cameras.
I am a bit puzzled why Nikon didn't want t oput a joystick on the Zf. I know it was probably to keep it as retro as possible, but I think that would have been an acceptable departure (those who don't like to use it can just ignore it).
Hola Omar, como estás? te sigo hace muchisimo tiempo, y queria agradecerte por cada video que he visto y todas tus reviews y fotos que son hermosas!!!
te queria contar que tengo una D700 que uso para trabajar en estudio, es una bestia!!! pero lo que mas me gusta es caminar con la camara y me cuesta mucho sacarla en la calle por el tamaño y el peso que tiene. Asumo que en parte es una excusa , pero entiendo que usaste una D700 y podrias saber de que te hablo. Me gusta hacer one handed , llevar la camara sin correa de a ratos y , claramente el peso se nota muchisimo. Me gusta tambien hacer retratos. Y me gusta viajar. Uso el 50mm el %99 de las veces. Pero deseo un 24-70 o algo por el estilo. Estuve viendo en hacer una inversión a Mirrorles, mas precisamente una Nikon Z6, y eso abarca algun lente al menos. y por lo pronto sería para hacer street photo ( quiero aprender mas en esa área) y experimentar cosas nuevas, algun dia probar alguna grabacion, etc...pero entro en discusiones filosóficas de si realmente vale la pena gastar eso , o comprarme una D90 liviana y salir con esa cámara y ya...
si tuvieses que darme un consejo, que me dirias? disculpa por el texto, creo que me vas a entender. muchas gracias!!!!
Agree the micro SD card should stay in there. A good move by Nikon. I would treat the micro SD card as something like internal storage for the camera.
Do you think it's a worth upgrade from z6ii? Or just wait for z6iii?
I really like it !!
I considered going from the Z6II to the Zf, but I ended up upgrading to the Z8 and sold my Z6II to a close friend.
The Z8 being shutterless was an odd feeling, but honestly it's cool af.
I also bought a Fujifilm XT5 at tbe beginning of the year with an XF 33mm f1.4. My first time ever using Fuji, and I love it. The film sims are truly awesome and I hardly ever do any color grading on those images.
Overall it's been a fun year for me with these cameras. Thanks for the videos, you give some really good tips and advice, and you've answered some of my questions before, as always truly appreciated.
No shutter? How does it handle artificial lights?
Same except I went with Z8 and XS20. Perfect FF and APS C combo each with their own strengths
How would you compare the quality of the dials to the xt5 ? I went for xh2 because the xt5 didn’t feel well built but I’m considering switching due to the low light performance on Nikons and the s line lenses, particularly the 20mm for night work.
I prefer the quieter dials on the Fujifilm. These feel great but are LOUD lol
@@ogonzilla i dont shoot people,in fact I avoid them at all costs so loud might be better for me 🤣
Not sure flossy says "stuff" though :D love that you watch him too!
We're rated G here lol
I heard that my old AF-D lenses won't autofocus with the FTZ adapter, which is a bummer but I do love everything else I see about this camera. I think I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this one as it seems destined to be a classic.
This is an interesting camera to me. But, it's not because of the retro look. It's the price and the FF sensor. I bought a barely used, still in the box X-T3 kit two years ago(ish) because at the time it was a great price. I looked at other possibilities and just the bodies alone were lots more than what I paid. Since then, I was able to buy two really nice used lenses I wanted at great prices back in fall when all the new stuff came out and people were selling. Now, this Zf comes along with a FF sensor and the newest processor at a price similar to the X-T5. BUT.... the other piece that made me buy the X-T3 was looking at how expensive lenses were going to be for the FF systems out there. It just wasn't practical for someone who was an enthusiast photography in my opinion. I'm at a point where I only really want two, maybe three more lenses. One long reach for sports and a wider prime. I was probably going to start with the 23 f2 for that. I've been dreaming of a 50-140 and 1.4X extender. But, not sure about that one. Going to be interesting to see if FF cameras become more affordable. Thanks for the overview! Have a great week.
