    Amazing low light & built like a tank!
    This full frame camera has a great low light 24.5MP sensor, it will focus in almost complete darkness and the noise is very well controlled up to 12800 ISO. The images produced are very pleasing. Has built in image stabilization and has weather sealing.Its a blast to use in full manual, relying on the top dials for exposure adjustments. However you can also use it like any other camera with front and rear dial controls.I found a good way to use the top ISO dial is to set AUTO ISO on, and under sensitivity, set the max limit at the lowest to ISO 200 (although you can set this higher if you want). The camera will then automatically choose between ISO 100 to 200 (or what ever limit you set) if the top ISO dial is set to 200 or lower. Then when setting the top ISO dial to a higher ISO number the camera sets auto ISO up to (or lower) that new limit as needed for proper exposure. This allows you to quickly adjust the max ISO with the top dial without having to go into the menu or remap a button to disable or enable auto ISO. Also when an ISO is set, you can easily use the exposure compensation dial to fine tune above or below the metered ISO value. Alternative you can turn off AUTO ISO and just use the dial manually without the camera adjusting to lower values. Its very easy once you realize how Nikon engineers intended this to work.I found I needed the smallrig grip accessory as the Zf handles better with the added grip, especially with FTZ adapted lenses. Although its not an overly large camera, it did feel a little cramped when handling it. Its a design trade off for the stylish retro look.I got the 40mm F2 kit, and found the 40mm F2 SE lens produced very pleasing images, however I thought the build quality was too plasticy feeling and took a little away from the overall experience.The Zf is built like a tank, its very solid feeling, it has a metal frame, top plate and bottom plate. The rear button area is plastic. I think the flippy LCD screen frame may be metal as well. The battery door is plastic. The sensor doesn't have a shutter that closes when the camera is off or when the lens comes off. Care is advised when changing lenses to avoid introducing dust or contaminates into the sensor area.I noticed my AF-S 50mm F1.8 G focuses a little slower and hunts somewhat when mounted using the FTZ adapter.I had 3 bright pixels visible on the sensor on higher ISOs. They were resolved by running pixel mapping within the setup menu. This is not uncommon and each of my other cameras had similar issues.Finally I used the Snapbridge app to connect via bluetooth (no issue), but when I tried to connect via WiFi, it wouldn't work telling me the password was incorrect (password was correct). I had to configure the camera WiFi connection as an open network for my phone to connect to it. I was then able to browse images and download them to my phone. During the WiFi connection process while fiddling with the password, the camera froze up and required the battery removed in order to restore normal operations.

    I want to start out by saying the ergonomics of this camera are horrible and you will absolutely need to add a grip for it to be somewhat comfortable.

    Outside of the ergonomics the picture quality, auto focus, and image stabilization is outstanding. I primarily use this with small primes.

    Build quality is top notch and its little bit bigger and heavier than you might expect. It also makes a great back camera to my Z8 which is my workhorse.

    This camera is something that I highly recommend and I highly suggest getting the newwer or smallrig grips.

    The Nikon Zf is pretty amazing. Coming from the Z7, the autofocus andc3D tracking is fantastic, the image quality is suburb, the ibis is incredible, the camera body is really solid and has a very professional feel. I have large hands and while I find it perfectly fine to shoot with the camera as is I'd really recommend the smallrig handle or your hands will fatigue quite quickly.

    Great technology inside and uncluttered outside. Hard to hold one-handed for length of time. Needs aftermarket grip and/or strap. Second storage card is teensy weensy and difficult to install properly (for me anyway).
    Takes nice photos, if wielded by competent user.

    Great camera; build quality like 80s DSLR - brass top plate and knobs, metal body. Very intuitive if you shot film back in the day - having an actual ISO dial up top along with exposure compensation is great. Autofocus is amazing (still working on optimizing that for my use). IMHO the SmallRig grip is a must; this camera is somewhat literal to the 1980s industrial design, and not the easiest to hold. The big surprise is the 40mm lens... I originally didn't love it, wide open its a hair soft... I ordered the 50mm 1.8 to compare, and it's fantastic, but a bit large, so sent back; the 40 - stopped down a bit - surpasses the 50 in sharpness.. while being a tiny, light lens. Overall a fantastic piece of kit.

    Beautiful beautiful camera!
    Autofocus and VR is next level. Colors and image quality is magnificent.
    Few things that I dislike is the fully articulating screen. I prefer the tilting screen of the z8 and of the Fujifilm xt5. Also, if you don’t use the small rig grip extension, the camera is just impossible to hold sturdily.
    The auto subject detect even using manual lenses is very helpful.
    So, if you’re into manual lenses, old or new, you will enjoy this camera a lot.

    Great camera. just wish there was firmware so I could use a simple plug and switch to operate camera ( no batteries needed). I'll use small nikon remote for now.

    Such a great camera from a picture quality and just overall build quality and feel perspective. The retro vibes stand out in a world of digital sameness. Despite the many naysayers, I have no problem with the smaller grip -- for the aesthetics, it's appropriate and would look terrible with the grip from my Z8. Most of the time I'm using a 40MM anyway so the overall weight and sizing it perfect.

    Es una excelente cámara. Du diseño retro es genial. Sus funciones son bastante buenas, actuales y permite un control avanzado de funciones que cámaras de su rango no tienen.
    Con 8 pasos de estabilización (usando lentes Nikon Z), la función de pixel shift para lograr archivos de hasta 96MP y el diseño, se convirtió en mi nueva cámara de viaje y fotografía callejera.

    No puedo opinar aún de la cámara porque no la he usado. Para hacerlo necesito un adaptador que no está a la venta y uno opcional que pedí en Amazon me llega hasta marzo. El adaptador de corriente lo necesito para cargar las pilas, pues se recargan con la cámara conectada a la corriente. Las pilas adicionales que compré en Amazon, que no eran originales de Nikon no las aceptó la cámara, aunque eran del mismo modelo.
