I'm with Evelyn on the Micro SD choice. It's a "backup", so you can leave it in there most of the time and not even remove it. The Micro SD doesn't bother me at all.
Exactly, i have a couple 240gb micros lying around unused. I’ll just leave it in there, send jpegs to that card and pretend its internal memory. Use my uhs 2’s for raw
Agreed I think it’s a great idea, wish Sony have put in their recent 7C2 and 7RC, as a single card slot on those cameras is a reason not to buy them
Completely agree. It's a non-issue. Just leave the micro-SD in the camera all the time as a backup and reformat it when it gets full. And if you need to download images you can do it via the USB cable so there's no need to worry about fiddling with the card. Put it in once and forget it. The added benefit is that when you go out to shoot with it and realize you didn't bring a memory card (I'm sure nobody has ever done that before), you'll still be able to use it. Those that really feel that Nikon should have put in 2 SD cards, or a CF Express + SD card, or additional buttons, should state what other feature they would prefer to give up. There is absolutely no wasted space with the camera, so in order to put in 2 SD cards you would need to have a smaller battery, which nobody wants, or the body needs to become bigger. At what point does it no longer look like a retro camera because it had to become so large to fit all the features that everybody feels need to be in there. There's a reason the Df didn't sell. If you want more buttons, and CF Express + SD card at around the same price, buy the Z6II (which won't be as good) or wait for the Z6III.
Agree too, saw on some other video that the micro sd doesn’t come out unless you remove the battery. Nikon definitely designed it to be set and forget.
Good luck with that. Microsd cards have limited writes, and fail far quicker than regular sd cards.
I think the Micro SD is a BRILLIANT move. It is purely for backup only. By not having another SD card slot, you can keep the size tidy.
I agree on this, it is a backup, not meant for sequential shooting anyway. Not sure why Dave doesn't like it and prefer having a 2nd SD card slot for backup, it is just a waste of space at that point. I mostly shoot single SD card slots as well but if you are a pro, then having a backup can be a life saver
Why not just have 2 microSD card slots then?
my guess is because of size, because it is smaller then there's higher chance that you may lose it, break it. hence why for me it's a good idea to use it only for backup/worst case scenario. ie have to take it out and load on a computer only if the primary SD card fails. also most drones (maybe all) already uses microSD cards.
I also think it's pretty smart. The micro sd always stays in the camera and all pictures are saved on both cards and you just format the micro sd after the backup of the regular sd card.
@@cityhunter2501I like the analog styling and tactile experience, but my workflow usually goes: shoot sequential; pass SD card off to the editor; make a backup of the SD card I kept; keep shooting.
Seems like a nice setup if you’re only going for photos though.
I think of the micro SD card as internal memory. I will never take that card out. It is there for if I forget my SD card for me. Even if you use it for backup, it still stays in the camera and gets re-formatted and only the SD card gets pulled and downloaded on the card reader. So I think it is brilliant.
Micro SD is used in many applications now, such as GoPro and other high performance ruggedized cameras. Loosing them is not an issue. So it is a great choice. My first Nikon was and FM2: I'm in the queue for a Zf. I also note that Zf is F2 spelled backwards, sort of, and I used F2 bodies for many years.
I think the micro SD slot is great. It's a backup in case you need it. And if you don't (99.99999% of the time), you can almost forget about the card being there in the first place.
I agree, especially how cheap they are, you can put in a 512GB and won’t have to worry about it ever as a photographer. Unless you shoot video then a good chance you will need to review the footage found before formatting to create space.
I love the retro aesthetics. It's the camera I wish Fuji would have made.
I'm in Evelyn's camps as well. I think the Micro SD card is just fine. The smaller size keeps the camera body slim, and the second card avoids a lot of the complaints other cameras have received on launch, of just having one card.
Why? Just cause it's full frame? I think it's a good effort, but they'll need to build a lens lineup to back it up, and maybe even come out with a Fuji X-E or X-Pro equivalent
They did. X100V, XT5, what do you mean?
@@chrismacdonald.6295 I'm assuming he just means that Fuji should have gone full frame
I started on the X100 series, and added an XT, and both were a lot of fun, but I always wanted a full frame version of those.@@chrismacdonald.6295
I already fell in love with the camera and pre-ordered it. Basically a „shut up and take my money moment“ for me :D

Same, I ordered the orange Color.
@@MichaelRichards983 I was very close to order it in Sunburst Orange too but I wasn‘t brave enough 🙄
I want this camera and I have never used Nikon cameras. I think Nikon has made the perfect retro camera that doesn’t skimp on too many features. The body is also rugged with significant weather proofing. The Zf definitely ticks all the boxes for me, including the 24MP. Higher resolution sensors tend to get too noisy for my taste.
If I had to start again, this would definitely be my street/travel camera and I would be using Nikon. I like it that much even without trying it out!
The black and white setting is genius!
Great job Nikon!
Unfortunately I have a Sony system, and buying this camera would be only justified if I sold one of my camera bodies and used one of those excellent FE to Nikon Z adapters.
I think the Micro SD route is a great idea. I would look at it as an expandable internal drive that I never/rarely remove from the camera, and the write speed limitations vs CFExpress makes sense in a camera that's not targeted at sports and action - a very sensible differentiator from a future Z6 III camera that likely will have similar specs otherwise.
I like the micro SD as a backup because it keeps the body smaller. Nice video!
I preordered this beauty and currently have the Zfc and Z6ii plus several Z lenses. Can't wait to have a photo adventure with the Zf. Thanks for the informative and FUN video.
It's cool to see the black and white switch.
One of the things I love about mirrorless is how I can shoot in black and white raw+jpeg, so I see in black and white while I'm shooting, but all that colour information is still there in the file if I decide I want it later.
If I didn't already have a perfectly good Z5 and Z6, I'd be on the preorder list for this camera.
Loved the video!
It’s the first that I’ve seen from you .
It’s nicely shot, nothing dragged out. All the information bundled with your point of views and you two are very likeable!
Regarding the camera, I love the aesthetic of it and I do agree that it brings back the fun of photography and for me personally it seems like a great daily camera to take with you on a day to day basis.
I’ll definitely pick one up as soon as I get the chance.
Thank you for the wonderful review!! Question: regarding the Zf vs S5 II (similar price points, 24MP, etc.), which would you recommend for primarily photos? Jordan (video centric) would say the S5 IIX 🙂. I currently have an FM3a (silver), X-T4, and X-H2, and I have shot L-Mount (SL2-S) and Z-Mount (Z6 II) and like them all. There are too many good choices out there right now. Lastly I am with Evelyn in that the Micro SD card doesn't bother me as a backup (I never take the SD card out of the X-H2).
The review is fantastic love this camera. Hey guys what camera you used to shoot this video it looks so crisp I love it
Good review as always; I enjoy your take on things.
And... I would have also liked to have seen a bit more hands-on detail in the review with regards to the autofocus capabilities given it has an Expeed 7 processor. I'm quite curious what the differences are between the cameras given they have the same processor, a different number of autofocus points, and the ZF's lower resolution sensor.
In general, I'm also curious how this compares to other competitive cameras like the a6700, A7CII, A7IV, R6II, S5II, etc. The ZF is about the best and latest in the mid range Nikon camera lineup, but I wonder if it will stack up to the competition outside of its je ne sais quoi.
Fujifilm got me interested in photography all over again, but it was my FE2 where it all started. Ordering this camera was an easy choice.
I have a question for you, I own the Z8 and the Z72 has become my secondary camera for everything but birding. I love the old style of the ZF and was considering replacing the Z72 with the ZF, your thoughts.
what camera did you guys use to video the review? The video and audio quality were super clear!!! I have the ZFc and love it.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to have a Z8 or 9, and can really only have one body. As an amateur who does a bit of everything, except sports, will this work for me? Even with the Z180-600mm for wildlife?
If Nikon was pushed on updating their first two mirrorless models shortly after just to put a secondary memory slot it is because it had a negative impact on sales and adoption rate, and this is clearly a professional camera and an upgrade from the Z6 II (of course there will be a Z6 III) disguised as an enthusiast/hobbyist model.
Personally I prefer to have 2 slots even for personal everyday stuff and it's a nice to have.
excelent review thank you!!! I love the micro sd optiom!!!
I just hope it's possible to use that AE-L/AF-L button for back button focusing.
You mentioned a number of times that it would make a great second body next to a z8 or z9.
I do not have, nor can I afford those.
Would the Zf make a great choice for a primary body for professional level use?
I'd love one of these with a manually cocked shutter via a "film" winder. Like the R-D1 had 15 years ago. Now they need some aperture ringed lenses to really make the controls truly retro.
Picked up my first ZF this week along with a Nikkor Z 40mm f2. Just waiting for a second one with the 24-70. So far I am loving everything about the camera. A lot different in operation from my Fuji X-T and X-H models as well as my earlier Nikon DSLRs but I am enjoying the learning curve.
How hard is it to find micro SD card with a V90 rating or better ?
At first, I was like Dave; not a big fan of the Micro SD idea. Now, I'm with Evelyn; it's not a biggy. They obviously had to keep the size down. I hope those cards and battery all in the same place won't cause undue thermal issues. I'll know soon enough when mine arrives and I put it through its paces. As someone who started my career with an original FM, I can't wait to open the box.
Is it possible to Transfer files via USb C to your tablet, PC, Phone? BEST REGARDS from Austria, Oliver
Hi Guys, great review. Can you talk a bit more about focus system of this Zf? I heard that there is no joy stick to move the focus point, that you need to use only the touch screen. Thanks
What cam do you use to record ?
Great review video!
I've preordered mine...
As close to my perfect camera as it gets these days. Remove the video stuff, and it would be even closer.
I shoot full manual mode with adapted lenses. This will be a fun camera, and will look great on the shelf next to my FM2 and F2AS :)
What is the fastest microSD card available? And is there such thing?
I am considering getting this camera because I want to shoot full-frame fully manual the way I used to shoot film, but where are the lenses with aperture rings? That is a huge shortcoming by Nikon. I'm with Dave on wanting a fully pared down camera, I'd buy a digital Pentax K1000 in a heart beat.
This is the camera I had always wanted ❤
Thank you Nikon for this
Another great video. :-) I think if this had the Z7 or better sensor, it would be perfect. But maybe if they produce a silver and black version of it as a special release it will be in that.
I have just replaced my Z6 with a Z6 mk2 and have preordered a Zf body. They will both go in my travel bag with my Z8 for my upcoming trip to Australia. All three bodies provide attributes that I can make use of and will enjoy using. For me the form factor of my memory cards doesn't matter, as long as they meet the required specs. Personally I have never had a card failure. I'm very much looking forward to getting my new Zf. I still like the feel of my Canon A1 and initially only moved to Nikon because they support legacy lenses.
Does it have all-intra recording? Or does it compress, like the R6 2?
I miss my FM and FM2 film cameras so the ZF is an exciting possibility here. I like Dave's input about stripping it down even more!
I’m curious to know about the 14 fps. I’ve heard “up to 14 fps”. What are the conditions/sacrifices you have to make? What is the real top fps without sacrifices?
Related to that, the Z 6II has a weird “slideshow effect” when shooting 14 fps. I believe it’s there to hide the blackout. The Z 50 shoots at like 9fps without that effect. Has Nikon been able to mitigate that? No reviews have gone into that.
Regardless, I’ve already pre-ordered and even have my SmallRig grip. I’m going to be happy with it to replace my Z 6II as a second camera to my Z 9.
I’ve pre ordered. Let’s hope availability is a little better than the X100V! I’ll update you when it arrives, after the release date…
When I first heard about the slots, I was a bit put off, but the more I thought about it, the more I came around to it.
The GoPro 10 shoots 5.6K and 4K120 to a v30 microSD card. The Z f should be able to handle that. I don’t think it’s possible in the Z 6II to max out a UHS-II card with 14 fps RAW stills. This camera just doesn’t need CFE performance.
As for the size of the microSD card, I’m not planning to ever take it out unless it’s an emergency.
If I use it as a backup, then I’ll shoot raw to the SD card and JPEG to the backup slot. I can use JPEGs in an emergency. And for overflow, I’ll make sure I have enough SD cards, and clear them off where overflow becomes an emergency situation.
If that happens, I can plug the camera into USB-C and download that way. The microSD card never has to come out.
I’m going to put a 512GB card in there and basically forget about it.
I think it is the most awesome digital full frame camera ever made. Don’t mind the Micro sd, I’ll get as a backup for my Hasselblad X2D, and a complement to my Nikon FM2 film camera.
I'll definitely buy one and use it as my main camera :)
I’m thinking to order one to use on weddings and to just walk around as well. I shoot with A7iv but I hate using them to walk around. the fact that I can use my e Mount lenses with an adapter it’s a great buy in my opinion.
I shoot with the A7RV and it’s a terrible camera for walking around. So I bought the Zfc and used my Sigma I series E mount lenses on it with the Megadap ETZ adapter. that way I had a cool walk around camera with auto focus and an aperture ring. Needless to say, I preordered the Zf.
I know you guys mentioned that this camera would probably be for a second body for pros but really it's for street photography, travel and content creators more than anything. If I was a dedicated street photographers or had the extra money to buy this just for street photography, I would do it. A lot of those guys like to use Fugi catered for that because of the size, weight and functionality with all the cool knobs. I think working photographers will wait on the z6 III. I'm fine with the micro SD card. At least there's 2 cards. But I also think that if Fugi can put 2 full size cards in their bodies then Nikon could too.
The big issues with the las DF was not having a 2nd card. Now it does, I am buying one, use the same speed cards . Size does not matter its how its use.
2:45 Wait, are you saying that B&W mode uses image processing according to the last used jpeg color profile? That might actually make the B&W mode somewhat useful, because just plain desaturation is not work bothering with, better to convert color to B&W in post. I have not heard anyone else raise that point.
Firstly an excellent review. Switching out of the Olympus Pen F and returning to Nikon and the Zf. The functionality exactly meets my needs for grandchildren and trips. It ain't the Nikkormat but I am excited to get going with this.,
Just received my sunset orange color Zf today. Can’t wait to take it to a shooting session. It looks better than Zfc and it sits next to my Df and FG, the three generation of film, DSLR and mirrorless is a reflection of my life span.
What nobody seems to talk about is video ibis. Nikon doesn't exactly have a good track record, is the Zf better than older models?
completely excited about this, only down side is i would like to have sigma I serie prime lenses available, it would be a grea great complment and bring me to the system immidiatly
I’m thinking about using the Megadap ETZ21 Adapter for using the E mount Sigma I Series on my Zf. They’re very thin (2mm!!), and the autofocus apparently works just fine. May have to wait for their firmware update though.
Just caught one in an auction. Looking forward to playing with it.
My only gripe is that Nikon doesn't allow for any manual focus assist tools to work with un-chipped adapted lenses.
I've been looking for a mirrorless that confirms my focus using the AF sensors for many years now.
Now I have to spend 100-230 bucks on a Sony E to Nikon Z adapter just so I can use my old lenses with proper focus aides.. kinda silly if you ask me.
I'm loving the potential. As a Nikon Z6II and Z9 user, there is just something to the Z6II low light files that I love. I shoot a lot of kids sports indoors, and like the great high ISO performance of the Z6II - just not the autofocusing and shutter lag that you get with the Z6II. I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere - does the lag exist here? was it a function of the sensor or the processor? I'd love to pre-order one to allow me to hand my Z6II down to my daughter, but need to know about the lag first...
great channel. I look forward to visiting the Camera Store on my next trip to Calgary - ever thought of opening a second location further north?
From your experience, would you buy the z6ii brand new which is on sale now for $1699 or continue to save for the Zf for $1999 but no release date announced?
I want the camera as a hobby and hopefully a career one day.
Ultimately, I think it is dependant on the type of shooting that you plan on doing. But, to allow for growth, I'd opt for the newer Zf - the Expeed 7 processor is getting great support. So many subtle interface differences that you'll have to figure out by putting the cameras in your hand to see what you like. As an example - the tilt vs the floppy screen is a big deal for some people, and others can work with whichever just fine... @@WidePhotographs
The Micro SD card slot might be the perfect compromise for enthusiast cameras.
One of the big upsell points of the R7 over the R10 for me was having dual card slots, if the R10 would have had secondary Micro SD memory then it might have pushed me to the cheaper body.
Problem is Micro SD cards are VERY unreliable so it's not like you can go and fill your "dual cards" with 4K video and expect the Micro SD to act as a reliable backup, but just as an emergency JPEG holder it will do the trick nicely.
The Micro SD card is better than no additional card. Considering I waked out of the house last night with my old 6D at sunset only to find "No Card in Camera" so maybe this would save me from myself occasionally.
Packs a lot of punch for the dollar. Micro doesn't bother me if used as an overflow & glad to have it there if needed before moving to putting another card in. For when using the AF if it has a 85% keeper rate or higher, I might try one. I don't want them to add it because of the retro thing but wish it had the Focus Stacking feature in it for Macro.
What camera this was shot on? Stunning quality.
I want one, and will buy at some point in the near future. I disagree that most people will only use one slot, I am a hobbyists and in my other cameras I use two... Worth having that added security even if it stays in the camera. At the end of the day two slots give the user the option.
The lens needs an aperture ring.
I've been using micro sd cards for over a decade and I haven't lost a single one. But I agree. When I do eventually buy this camera, I will probably only be using 1 card. If I do put a micro in there, It would probably be for backup and I'd just format it every time I backed up my files on my computer from the main SD card. I will never remove it unless I have to. I'm currently using a Z6 MKI and have no problem with one card.
Everyone says that this is a great "second camera" that you can use for travel, and use the same lenses as on your regular, say, Z8.
I just want one interchangeable camera, and I think many people think that way. My second camera is an RX100, or maybe even an iPhone. But photography isn't my job. It's something I do while traveling, or hiking (sometimes). So I wonder if the ZF is for me. For a guy who doesn't want a "second camera".
Lenses with aperature rings would complete this asthetic.
Voigtlander makes Z lenses with aperture rings. Better glass too like their 50 f1.
Set up my 24-120 with aperture on the function ring. Works great.
A great little camera. This model has me considering going back to Nikon! My only caveat…no joystick controller.
I one feature I want to try is to use your thumb on the screen to move the focus point when having the EVF to the eye. That is suppose to replace the joystick. Is it better? Only one way to find out. I pre-ordered this camera. Looking forward to using it.
@@izziereal2010 good for you 👍
I would love to see Nikon bring back the Nikon S3 with a digital sensor. :-)
informative review of the ZF.
It would be nice if you tested it wth peak design micro clutch
I didn't have yet the opportunity to test this thing, but I have two major concerns about this innovating camera: that 🤬 flip screen! and the lenses lineup which lacks compact primes.
What is a zed?
So I ordered this September 20 th at 5AM. Will get on Oct 17th and have a z7,z8 and a FE and F3 . This might be a real close look to F3
FUji is my to go retro, but now, Nikon great job!
100% agree with the mSD card assuming you can write to both at the same speed (speaking about photos, I am not a video person). I'd buy one and never take it out. It'd serve as the backup card. This is from a hobbyist perspective, though. But I also agree that I'd love a K1000 in functionality but with AF and a digital B&W sensor. Winder and all :) I wouldn't want to pay for it because I know it'd be a niche product.....
I think the micro SD is great as the target for the JPEG files, and, as Evelyn stated, just leave it in there as a back up. The only thing better would be a large, internal memory, complementing a fast card storage. Eventually they will get there.
My nxt camera Beautiful zf Mini sdcard is a bonus Nice review guy’s
Its been said a thousand times, just leave the small card inside as a backup memory, you just format it once you have saved your photos on your computer. It is a brilliant idea, when you consider non of the competitors give you a second SD card slot.
I think the idea of the Micro SD is great, effectively internal storage which is how I treat the XQD in my Z8. My Mac has an SD slot (a little slower than XQD I know but am not bothered) which I use to transfer files from both cameras. I’m not shooting sports or wildlife so don’t need faster cards.
I would have preferred a bulkier grip (thus allowing 2 full size sd cards), yes I know they wanted to keep it as close to the original SLR body, but people back then didn't think about ergonomics, I'm okay with it slightly off for be grip)
Everyone keeps talking about that memory slot. But you're just looking at the slot, the internals and housing for the slot is a lot more larger. There's no room to add it. Just look at your external card reader, it's pretty much the same as what you'll see inside the camera. It'll have meant adding a full on hand grip which takes away from the look and feel.
the micro SD card is so clever, you just buy one with much capacity and leave it in there as backup in case something goes wrong with the normal SD card
statement that people will only use a normal card is wrong, all Zf users I know pop a micro in there as a backup
the Zf is a piece of art and I love it
I love a double card what better place to carry an additional card if need one in an emergency and the small size look around the world is a mini sd card. Great review
I’d love a film winder as an on/off switch. And it will improve ergonomics!
lol that’d bring back nostalgia for F3 users… I might accidentally break the lever by trying to advance it by muscle memory after a shot😂😂
lol that’s like an FM3A and would be a great idea for a thumb rest. Bring up the MP to 36 and I’m good to go with that setup
It's funny that the big topic of discussion about the Nikon Zf happens to be about the storage situation with the Micro SD card and not the lack of a joystick.... But, on the hot topic. As long as you can use a fast, large-capacity Micro SD card, it's the same as having internal storage in my mind, and I could get down on that workflow. I think this camera is brilliant, personally.
I prefer the tilting screen! A vertical grip option would have been nice!
Yeah same this vlog style screen is anoiying
Get accustomed to the flip screen, it's not the stoneage any longer.
@@MichaelRichards983 Its a stupid design mate. It you want to use it horizontaly and look down on it it literally stick out to the side of the camera???
For what??? For morons who need to film themselfs for their stupid little tiktok videos?
this camera is announced on time to be available for Christmas of this year, Nikon will not be able to make these cameras fast enough for the Christmas season.
After two weeks, I decided to return my recent purchased z5. Even though the z5 is on sale right now, but I am ok with continuing to save for the Zf.
Maybe I’ll just settle for the z6ii. I am not a professional but i also don’t want to wait news on a z5ii. I rather start shooting now as a hobby.
I 100% agree with Dave. Nikon should go all in and make their own version of Leica’s M10-D or the Epson RD-1. Give it an advance lever and make it so you have to cock the shutter. Take the screen off of it. An ovf would be awesome too but that might be asking for too much. I know this camera would never happen since the people who like those types of cameras will probably just buy Leica, but it’s nice to imagine it.
The film winder should have been added as a thumb rest. See Leica’s M10-D for reference
Hey Dave, the the biggest and fastest micro-sd card you can get, and pop it in and forget about it, just consider it 'built-in memory', which is only for extreme backup cases anyway.
Haha exactly - Evelyn
Im perfectly happy with the micro sd card, i use it for wedding photography and will absolutely using 2 cards at all times. They make perfectly fast micro sd cards
Looks Good!
These two are so natural.
I choose the Zf as a replacement for my Z6, also because of the microSD, or as someone has written, better a slow backup than no backup. And there are a couple of V30 cards around, which should easily fit for JPEG/HEIF backups on the second card. I'm glad getting away from the expensive XQD cards as a hobby photographer, as a pro I would likely think different, but would have gotten a Z6II (or higher) still.
The retro style is nice to have, but the processor and mostly the enhanced AF is what triggered me. Recently got rid of all my AF-S DX stuff (and a few rarely used FX lenses too) so can afford the new one. Running with a Z50 mostly for hiking and a Zf for indoor, vacation and animals should leave me with no needs.
I am still waiting for Nikon to fulfill my order for a Bordeaux Red ZF. I hope it arrives soon.
if you want less you have the Z FC body , I really like what they did here, I want to buy this camera and it will be my leap into the Z mount... so it is a lot for me. and I do like the 2nd card, even if it is a micro sd card, they work even in my gopros so, they must no t be that bad
To me, It looks more like the FE2. I want one! lol
the micro sd slot was the perfect compromise because we can use en-el15 batteries in a camera that by all means shouldnt have room for one. two slots and a battery that is the same as nearly every other nikon full frame is why this camera makes so much sense.
I like it, but of course I’m kind of old with my 64 years. ❤
The ZF 4K 60 is cropped its not using a full frame like Z9 or R5 is , still just like the Z6II due to being 24mp . Something else to consider when buying it .
Fully agree with Dave on the hypothesis that a retro camera with much less modern features would be more desirable. I'd prefer much smaller, simple menues, no video at all, etc... most of all I would only by the camera if Nikon would have more than just 2 lenses which kind of fit to the camera on offer. If I want stylish lenses for this I have to by the Voightlaenders.
