The Nikon Z fc, the latest mirrorless camera from the popular photography brand, has a classic camera look that conceals modern features. The camera's glossy exterior draws inspiration from the FM2 SLR, an iconic camera that dates back to the 1980s. Built to compete with the likes of Fujifilm's cameras, the Nikon Z fc boasts manual controls that offer a tactile photography experience. In addition, the controls can independently change the shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO, allowing the camera to differentiate itself from others in its category.
Besides high-quality photos, the Nikon Z fc is great for recording video footage. The camera can shoot video in 4K quality and has features like autofocus and auto-exposure to keep the action in the shot. It can also track objects, faces, and eyes, making it a handy tool for content creators like vloggers. The Nikon Z fc will be available in July.
