Now that's great! A completely modern mirrorless system camera, with the latest focusing technology and image quality, but with a look that's straight out of the 80s classic Nikon FM2.

This package includes the versatile Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S lens.

Retromodernism has been done before, but Nikon does it with respect for tradition, meaning that in addition to the appearance, the mechanical quality is like old times. The shutter speed, exposure compensation and sensitivity controls on the camera are made of brass and feel like the good old days. In the hand, the camera feels very much like a film camera, not a plastic-bodied digital camera.

It uses some of the same technology as the Z8 and Z9 top models, meaning the focus is the manufacturer's latest innovation and the video capabilities are also surprisingly robust.

• 24.5 megapixel full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor
  
• New black and white mode directly from the dial
• Sensitivity ISO 100-51200 (expandable to 50-204800)
• 5-axis 8-stop effective in-body image stabilization
  
• Autofocus with object detection (airplanes, animals, etc.)
• Same Expeed 7 processor as in the Z8 and Z9 flagship models
• continuous shooting at 11 frames per second (and 30FPS burst shooting with pre-recording)
  
• 4K 60P video recording , 120P FullHD slow-motion videos
• Charging the battery directly in the camera via the USB-C connection
• SD and MicroSD memory card slots
• Compatible with older Nikon lenses with adapter
  
  

Nikon traditions

The Nikon Z f is the manufacturer's first full-frame camera with a fully folding rear screen, meaning the screen is protected and the vintage feel is even stronger. It's not immediately obvious that this is a device packed with modern technology.

The size has also been kept similar to that of film cameras, but the features are sufficient for demanding use, which is why the need for two memory card slots, which is important for many professionals, has been solved so that one card slot is a traditional SD and the other is a MicroSD, a very unique solution.

In addition to the aesthetics, the same precision has been applied to the materials. The body is made of magnesium alloy, the back is partly made of carbon fiber, and the contact surfaces on the top, such as the adjustment rollers, are made of brass. In addition, the body is weatherproof!

Nikon has kept its FX mount the same for a long time before these mirrorless cameras. So with an adapter, decades-old Nikon lenses with manual focus will work. You just need the FTZ adapter when using older lenses!  The built-in image stabilization also works when using these older lenses.

Surprisingly modern: new AF, stabilization and continuous shooting

Nikon has clearly made the camera for photographers, not just style enthusiasts. The Nikon Z f features the same 3D tracking autofocus as the Z9 and Z8 flagships. A similar system was used in Nikon's more robust mirrorless cameras.

Going through the feature list, you'll notice that the camera surpasses the Nikon Z6 II in terms of features. Similarly, the internal image stabilization is also better than the Z6 and Z7 models, being 8 stops more effective.

Like the Nikon Z8, the camera has a C30 burst mode, meaning you can shoot 30 images per second and recording starts even before the shutter button is pressed! This feature allows you to time even fast-paced situations perfectly, burst shooting only works with JPG images.

In addition, image stabilization is used to capture High Res images, meaning the camera takes up to 32 separate images and the sensor is moved pixel-precisely between images, creating a 96-megapixel finished image. This feature requires the use of a tripod.

Nikon's system has four different options:

• Combination of 4 images and color data is stored separately for each pixel
• 8 images and color data is recorded twice per pixel (less noise)
• 16 images, resolution 96MP
• 32 images, 96MP resolution and wider color data

Combining images requires processing power and is done separately on a computer, either with Nikon software or the highly praised Capture One image editing program.

Also for video recording

Regarding the camera, it has been mentioned many times how surprising the features are and video recording is one of them. The video features are solid and the previous full-frame retro model Nikon DF did not have video recording at all. Here are the key features:

• 4K 30P video recording from the entire sensor area oversampled from 6K footage
• 4K 60P video recording with 1.5x zoom
• 10 bit and N-Log recording directly to memory card
• Recording for up to 2 hours, no 30-minute time limit
• Waveform tool for exposure adjustment

The Nikon Z f's video is recorded using the entire pixel count of the sensor, meaning a 6K image is converted into a 4K video file. This results in sharper images with less noise and aliasing than 4K video, which only uses a portion of the pixels. 4K 60P video will feature cropping, just like the Z6 II.

In addition to the wide tone range N-log setting, videos can be recorded in 10bit format internally directly to the memory card, which previously required the use of an external recorder. This is suitable for professionals who want to define the color and contrast of the video footage themselves.

In addition to the body stabilizer, it is possible to stabilize videos with electronic (e-VR) image stabilization.

Nikon Zf supports modern data transfer via WiFi and Bluetooth . Nikon SnapBridge not only transfers images but also acts as a remote shutter release for the camera .

The camera's battery is an EN-EL15C and can be charged directly via the USB-C port on the camera. On a full charge, the number of shots promised is approximately 380 using the monitor and 360 through the viewfinder.
