Nikon colors, swift and reliable autofocus, and a pleasing retro aesthetic combined with an excellent S series lens makes a compelling package. Added a SmallRig grip for easier one-handed carrying, though not at all needed if carrying with a neck strap. Battery life and image stabilization are also first-rate.

Excellent Combination

The image quality of this camera is top notch.  I was pleased to discover that my Canon EF glass adapts seamlessly to the Nikon Z mount.  I purchased the Zf because I am also a Fuji shooter, but have been wanting a full frame sensor on a camera with tactile controls, and Fuji has not caught up with its competitors in terms of AF performance.  There is a learning curve, however.

Superb image quality.

In my opinion it is simply the best camera that Nikon has ever made. It has state-of-the-art technology. In addition to offering focus assistance for manual lenses, which the Z9 or Z8 cannot do. All this in a retro body with amazing quality.

The best camera Nikon has ever made

Coming from a Nikon D3200 from almost ten years ago, this camera is amazing. It's easy to set up and customize. Sure it's not a Z6ii body, but I love the retro feel, and the feel in the hand. As a weekend amateur this camera is the perfect set up for me. As for this kit, the 40mm f/2 is perfect to get you up and going for everyday shooting. The extra battery works, and the filters have a nice weight and feel. All and all I would buy it again and I am very much looking forward to the fall colors with the Zf.

Nikon full frame goodness!

There are a gazillion reviews of the Nikon Zf. All of these rate the camera very high. I do not disagree but there is one frustrating thing about Nikon Z cameras that is never discussed in these reviews:  Nikon Snapbridge is worthless! If you need to transfer photos from a Nikon camera to your phone, forget it. If you thought that you could control your camera remotely using Snapbridge you are dreaming a fantacy. The Snapbridge app will never connect to your phone and if it does the app will stare at you without any way to view photos or remotely control the camera as promised. Otherwise the camera is perfect. I bought the Zf for travel. My d850 is heavy and hard to carry for family travel. The d850 sensor remains my choice for dedicated landscape photography but I think the Zf was a fantastic choice for travel, people, street photography, etc. I am a bit angry that Nikon has not been able or willing to prioritize a working Snapbridge app after all the years of development.

Great camera but forget about using the Nikon app

It's a beats, for low lights, great auto focus, solid and beauty.

cool

The Nikon ZF is a modern classic. I have been shooting Nikon for years. I was disappointed with my Z6 but did not want to lug around the Z8 or Z9.
The upgrade in the ZF is amazing the same EXPEED 7 of the Z8 with the look of a classic camera. I did get the Small Rig add on grip to make holding the camera better but I am happy with everything else about it. The 24 megapixel sensor does the job just fine for me. Easy buy if you are into street photography or just want something light.

In love with the ZF

Beautiful camera.  Good build quality but slightly heavy. 
Extremely capable, with great AF, low light imaging.  This also has a very intuitive manual focus aid which allows focus confirmation (green box) if you use a lens with the metal contacts.  
This is a great camera and I'm excited to use it.

Nikon Zf

I have been using the Nikon Zf full frame camera for about a week and I am extremely satisfied with it. It replaces my Nikon 750D. I love the new Z mount, I have used the 40mm f/2 that was part of the kit. It's lightweight compared to my D750 with a Nikon 50mm f1.4 I am also satisfied with the Nikon 17-28 f/2.8 and the Nikon 28-75 f2.8 lenses. It is clean of noise when shooting at higher ISOs. I haven't used it at higher than 6400 yet. I am looking forward to taking some low light photos soon. I have rich colors, sharpness and clarity on my daytime shots. I love the look and feel of the knobs and the ability to change quickly from one ISO or speed without having to go into the menu. I do love all of the features that are in the menu but I have not had time to try them all out yet. All in all I feel this is a great replacement for my Nikon D750. It's lighter in weight, fairly easy to use if you're use to using Nikons. I am impressed with the iso range and the picture quality.

Beautiful Camera excellent image quality

An absolute dream to use.  There are so many ways to use this camera to its full potential it's amazing.  You can use it full dial manual, or you can use it like a typical Z6/Z7.  You can also use it semi manual, semi auto depending on your settings.  While not as fast in burst speeds as the Z6II when using the mechanical shutter; boosts that speed using the electronic shutter.  The autofocus system far exceeds my Z7 and Z6II cameras.  I am completely satisfied with the performance, and accuracy of the camera's autofocusing.  The IBIS is another HUGE advantage over my other cameras.  Handholding has never been easier.

Build quality is phenomenal.  It's built like a tank and a little heavier than my Z6, but not in a cumbersome manner.  I did however get the Smallrig grip...that is a must.  The card slot choices are different than most other mirrorless cameras sans the Z5.  It uses SD and micro SD cards instead of CFExpress.  That does affect burst length, but using a SDXC UHS II card helps compensate that.

My only gripes are the standard grip being insufficient...completely insufficient, hence the Smallrig grip purchase.  The grip doubles as an arca-swiss mount so that at least is a bonus.  The other gripe I have, and this one is kind of a doozy is the camera does NOT come with a battery charger.  It comes with a removable and replaceable battery, but no charger.  I does come with a wall plug to USB-C for charging, but that doesn't do me much good in the wilderness or at an event where plugging a camera in to charge it is impossible/impractical.  Sure you can use a separate battery pack that is USB-C compatible, but then I have to deal with that dangling from the camera.  How this was deemed a "good idea" on a camera that you can replace the battery multiple times throughout the day is beyond bonkers.  Why did Nikon (and many other manufacturers for that matter) charge a small fortune for an item, yet leave out an essential component that MAYBE costs them $5 to put in the box???

AMAZING camera, fun to use, but where's the battery charger???

The Nikon Zf has been a great addition to my bag! It's a retro style body packed with a host of excellent features with a focus system that works! I was waiting for the Z6III when the Zf released and I'm glad I purchased this camera! It feels a lot like my old F3 body. The performance is better than expected and the image quality is fantastic due to the improved auto focus and dynamic range.  

I don't recommend using heavy or long lenses using the standard grip. It's too small to hold for long periods of time. Your wrist will thank you for not mounting beastly lenses on the Zf body which is mostly metal. I do recommend the SmallGrip adapter which helps a little bit with the ergonomics. I'm hoping someone builds a quality deep grip for those of us with large hands. Native Z and adapted F-mount glass both work beautifully. I have been shooting with AI-S, AF-S and Z glass; all produce excellent results.

The black and white mode has to be one of the easist modes to use and pairing it with an old AI-S 50mm f/1.4 lens has allowed me to slow down and capture some really interesting shots. I highly recommend this camera!

Retro styling with excellent features!

There's a definite learning curve for me in operating this camera.  But so far I love it.  A little heavy but I have a small very light weight lens on it. Quality is intense.  I've always been a Nikon girl.  Had to have this camera .Intense quality.

Having fun with the retro Z f

Outstanding camera and lens combination. I am a stills photographer.  After trying a variety of  current camera offerings from several brands, the synthesis of form and function, including its premium build , comprehensive menu system and terrific image quality ,has made this my tool of choice.  In addition, the nostalgic representation of the FM 2 film camera, I used and loved in the 80's, makes this Nikon offering, for me, an iconic essential.

Iconic Essential

This is the camera I've been waiting for since the Zfc came out and decided to wait for a full frame version. Beautifully made camera, well constructed just like my FM2 with modern conveniences and fully articulated screen to hide away when you just want to enjoy the shooting experience. That being said, this is almost a perfect camera except if you shoot with adapted manual focus lenses, which I only primarily do, the focus peaking is not as accurate as I expected to be. The zone of focus is much wider than the actual critical focus zone that has been perfected with Fujifilm cameras in my opinion. If Nikon can fix this with a firmware update, it will definitely be a winner, and may be the last camera I'll buy.

Almost Perfect

Excellent pictures paired with 50mm 1.8 or 28mm 2.8. A bit low customization but adequate for my use. Very good looks. Heavy which feels good but can be tiring.
