It is based on the DX-format Nikon Z 50 and has a classic design with diagonal controls, similar to the Nikon FM2, an F-mount film camera launched in 1982. The body is made from magnesium alloy and carbon composite materials. The set includes a Nikkor Z 28mm ƒ/2.8 lens (Special Edition) designed to match the body. [3]

The name "fc" is taken from the "f," which represents the fusion of Nikon's history and technology, and the "c," which represents the casual use of a camera with a classic design. [4] On 2 July 2021, Nikon announced that the Z fc "may not be available by the launch date due to higher than expected reservations". [5] [6]

The Z fc has won the Camera Grand Prix 2022 Editors Choice R&D Award. [7]
