These dials provide instant control over shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity.

Our Verdict
With such a rich history in camera design Nikon had a lot of options to draw inspiration from with their first heritage Z fc mirrorless camera. The chic black and silver body, round eyepiece and trio of control dials are sure to satisfy any appetite for a retro style camera body and it looks beautiful. Despite the classic appearance it packs some serious tech aimed at anyone shooting stills, videos or both for their content creation. We’re glad to see a fully articulating touchscreen LCD included, which is essential for many vloggers. The addition of vibration reduction is also most welcome, helping to stabilise handheld movie footage and photographs.
Porting over the latest AF technology with excellent tracking for eyes, faces and video tracking will help anyone using Autofocus for stills or movies, reinforcing the Z fc as a tool for todays content creator. The lightweight body is made with magnesium alloy to keep down weight, whilst offering a durable construction perfect for any adventures. Nikon also added a slew of other tech and features to make sure this is both easy to use and delivers exciting opportunities for existing or new Nikon Z shooters. For these reasons we're sure this will find its way into many kit bags of those who love a stylish vintage design, with a tactile experience merged with top notch features.
