The Nikon Zfc, announced on 29 June 2021 and released in July 2021, is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera with the Nikon Z-mount with a MSRP of $960 body, in the US. [2] [3]

It is based on the DX-format Nikon Z50 and has a classic design with control dials, 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 Zfc launched with a silver body and 6 premium exterior colors, but as of 2025, the Zfc has 26 styles available: a silver body that can be customized with 12 premium exterior colors (white, mint green, coral pink, amber brown, natural grey, sand beige, midnight grey, chalk blue, mustard yellow, crimson red, walnut brown, olive green) [4] and a "Black Edition" with a black body [5] with the same premium exterior options, with which Nikon also announced the Nikkor Z 40mm ƒ/2 SE lens (Special Edition) in November 2022. [6] The set includes a Nikkor Z 28mm ƒ/2.8 lens (Special Edition) designed to match the body. [7] The silver body is also distributed in a bundle with a silver version of Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR (SL).
On 12 September 2024, Nikon announced four "HERALBONY" limited editions of the Zfc, featuring designs created by neurodiverse artists. Nikon and HERALBONY selected four works of art of more than 2,000 pieces in the HERALBONY licensed collection. The selected artworks are "Yurinoyoakeri" by Masaharu Honda, "Cone Flower" by Masahiro Fukui, "Joyful Time" by Teppei Kasahara and "Samba" by Momoko Eguchi. [8]
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. [9] On 2 July 2021, Nikon announced that the Zfc "may not be available by the launch date due to higher than expected reservations". [10] [11]
The Zfc won the Camera Grand Prix 2022 Editors Choice R&D Award. [12]
