The Nikon Zf is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera with the Nikon Z-mount with a list price of $1999 body only, in the US.




History


The camera was announced on 20 September 2023 and was shipped out to customers in Japan on 27 October 2023 (others unknown). On 25 September 2023, Nikon announced that the Zf is expected for delayed delivery for some customers due to unexpected order volume.




Features



The Zf is a full-frame camera speculated to use the same 24.5MP BSI-CMOS sensor used in the Nikon Z 6II, as its official specifications are the same. It has a 273-point phase-detection autofocus system and can shoot up to 10 frames per second in normal mode, and 14 frames per second in expanded mode.
Although it closely resembles the Nikon Z fc, which was also based on the design of Nikon's classic FM2 with almost the same internals of Nikon Z 50, there are number of upgrades on the Z f, even in comparison to the Z6II on which the camera internals are based.
The camera is a spiritual successor to the Nikon Df and Nikon Zfc digital cameras. Those cameras, like the Zf, housed modern image sensors in retro-styled camera bodies designed to resemble the early models in the Nikon F series of film cameras.
This includes eight stops of Internal Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), of which only the Sony α7R V was capable at the time of Z f's release, and world's first Focus-point Stabilization technology in which the IBIS axes shift and rotate around the user selected autofocus point rather than in the middle like the conventional IBIS.
Nikon's Focus-point Stabilization technology allows for sharper stabilized image at the focused point, whereas the conventional IBIS cannot compensate for the blurs that are further away from the center of the sensor.
The Z f also is the first camera in the Nikon range that allows for Pixel Shift Shooting, which can produce up to 96 Megapixel image by taking multiple shots (32 for 96 Megapixels) in quick succession while the sensor is shifted pixel by pixel. The taken shots are then processed in Nikon's NX Studio to form a single large megapixel picture. The overall process is the same as Fujifilm's Pixel Shift Multi-Shot and Sony's Pixel Shift Multi Shooting function.
The body, top plate and bottom plate of the camera are made from magnesium alloy and plastics are used in some areas. Major difference with the Z fc is that brass is used for the top dials instead of aluminum. The kit lens for the Z f includes a Nikkor Z 40mm ƒ/2 (Special Edition) designed to match the body.
Camera is Nikon's first to implement a dual SD/Micro-SD memory card setup. The image processor has also been upgrade to Expeed 7, and the camera's autofocus is on par with those of Nikon Z 8 and Z 9.
