Nikon - Z fc 4K Video Mirrorless Camera w/ NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Black/Silver

Upgrading from an 10 year old Canon Rebel DSLR that felt so heavy and clunky and going to a mirrorless felt great. Images in daylight are fantastic and sharp. Bokeh effect that knocks the background are super easy and much better than my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Taking fast images are easy too with the 11 fps burst option. I especially love the fully articulating touch screen which allows me to snap shots that would otherwise make my back sore! The touch screen is also pinch to zoom and double taps just like a smartphone. Battery life is exceptional with all day shooting capabilities but just in case, I purchased a spare Nikon battery for vacation trips. Shooting 4K video is crisp but IBIS is non-existent so you may have to use a gimbal for smoother clips. For that I just continue to use my iPhone with a DJI OM5 gimbal. Lastly, it's very subjective but this lightweight camera just looks cool. It's very retro designed but so easy to carry when hiking and taking along the city for quick snap shots. There are various options and accessories which I purchased as well to make it even better like the grip handle that screws on and a thumb attachment for superior grip. Love this amazing camera for everyday pics and for learning photography as well. Yeah, it's not a Sony A7SIV but for the price, the images look great to me. (Note: Images shown are compressed and not full resolution)

Purchased this "beauty" because I am an Nikon user since the 70's and liked to try the Nikon's mirrorless technology. Also purchased the Nikon FTZ adapter in order to use some of the compatible lenses I own. For once I have to say that the stock lens included in the kit (16- 50) works very well for what it is. Using the FTZ adapter I was able to check the camera with my 16 - 85 G ED and the possibilities are limited only to my creatibity. The bad news, since the mirrorless system exposes the sensor each time to swap a lens the risks to get dust are out there. I swapped lens once, carefully and in a close room without a breeze, sadly, photos started to show dust since then. For a test, went back to the original lens but still the same, not worse. The final disapointmen came when I learned that this body does not have electrostatic sensor cleaner so you need to clean it yourself, that is not always a good idea. Won't recommend this camera unless you're going to leave the stock lens always there.

I'm very happy with my camera. Love the old style vintage look. Amazing that it has all new technology.
