Pros and cons

According to our mirrorless camera expert

With the 40mm lens, take clear portrait and street photos with a blurred background.
You can take clear photos thanks to the 24.5-megapixel full-frame sensor.
The image stabilization has focus point VR, which focuses the stabilization on the main subject.
Due to the retro design, this camera doesn't have the grip you're used to from other mirrorless cameras.
This camera is less easy to take with you on the go due to its large size.

Description

The Nikon Z f + NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2.0 is a retro mirrorless camera, with which you can take razor-sharp portrait photos with blurred backgrounds. On the top of the camera are 3 dials. With these, you can easily set it manually. Thanks to the 24.5-megapixels full-frame sensor and the large diameter of the Z mount, your photos look clear. Even in low-light areas, you can take clear images. The design is sealed against water and dust, which lets you take it anywhere. You can also use it in cold conditions down to 0°C. The focusing system has accurate subject recognition. This ensures that your subject is in focus.

Light-sensitive lens

You can take portrait, street, and product photos, among other things, with the 40mm lens. Because of the image angle of this lens, the photos have no distortion and your subjects naturally stand out. The design is compact, which makes it easy to take the lens with you when traveling. The f/2.0 aperture makes it light-sensitive and allows you to photograph without problems in dark locations.

Image stabilization

Thanks to the built-in image stabilization, you can take sharp photos and videos. This IBIS corrects up to 8 stops, which allows you to use slower shutter speeds while photographing handheld. The image stabilization has a special focus point VR that makes the camera focus on the active focus point, and ensures that your subject is in focus.

Video Record professional videos in 4K resolution. You can record with the Z f in 4K 60, 30 or 24 fps. In Full HD, you can record at up to 120 fps. These images are suitable for extreme slow motions, so you can highlight a particular activity moment even more.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

This camera provided better images than I expected!

The large sensor has a good ISO performance, so you can take good photos even in low light.
The design has the 80s look
Focus is sometimes a bit on the slow side

For its (fairly) small looks, this camera produces better images than you would expect! Especially when light is a challenge. The large sensor has a good ISO performance, so you can take good photos even in low light. However, the focus can sometimes be a bit on the slow side and the 80s look should suit you. Without the extra wide grip, I found this camera to be insufficient to hold on to, especially because the camera is not very lightweight. All in all, a good system camera and one that can be used in a variety of ways! It is better to avoid very fast action shots, but every other type of shot will come out perfectly from the camera.

Beautifully retro on the outside, modern on the inside

Beautiful retro design
Super modern on the inside
Solidly built
Ergonomics not as good as Z5/Z6 etc.

Before I purchased the Zf, I hesitated for some time, mainly because of the negative points I mentioned. I therefore looked at the necessary reviews on YouTube in order to make a well-considered decision and finally I took the decision and ordered it from Coolblue. At that time (and perhaps still now), Coolblue was one of the most favorably priced providers and the SmallRig grip for the Zf was also included as standard. In short, a good deal! If you have any soft spot for retro design, the Nikon Zf is a truly beautiful camera to have in your hands. With the SmallRig grip, the camera actually feels quite good in your hands. I just prefer to use my Tamron 35-150mm lens (approx. 1.2kg) on my Z5. But with, for example, the Nikon 24-200mm, the Zf plus grip is still very good and comfortable to use. Despite the lack of custom presets, I can still easily switch between facial recognition on the one hand and center focus + tracking on the other, thanks to a few tricks. This way I hardly have to delve into the menus and can still easily handle photographing in different circumstances. I can highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a camera with nice retro looks and good performance. If you shoot a lot by hand with heavy lenses, it might be wiser to look at one of the other Z cameras.

Fantastic camera, beautiful and functional

Nice
Functional

After 8 years it was time for a new digital camera. After much consideration I chose this camera, because in recent years I have worked with analogue cameras in addition to a digital camera. Nice combination of old-fashioned appearance and modern inside. With adapters I also use very old lenses.
