Chronology
Successor Nikon Z f

The Nikon Z fc, 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 only, in the US. [1] [2]

Contents

It is based on the DX-format Nikon Z 50 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. Overall, the Z fc has fourteen styles available: a silver body in 13 colors (black, white, mint green, coral pink, amber brown, natural grey, sand beige, midnight grey, chalk blue, mustard yellow, crimson red, walnut brown, olive green) [3] and a "Black Edition" with a fully black body, [4] with which Nikon also announced the Nikkor Z 40mm ƒ/2 SE lens (Special Edition) in November 2022. [5] The set includes a Nikkor Z 28mm ƒ/2.8 lens (Special Edition) designed to match the body. [6] The body is also distributed in a bundle with a silver version of Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR (SL).

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. [7] On 2 July 2021, Nikon announced that the Z fc "may not be available by the launch date due to higher than expected reservations". [8] [9]

The Z fc has won the Camera Grand Prix 2022 Editors Choice R&D Award. [10]

A kit lens is a "starter" lens which can be sold with an interchangeable-lens camera such as a mirrorless camera or DSLR. It is generally an inexpensive lens priced at the lowest end of the manufacturer's range so as to not add much to a camera kit's price. The kit consists of the camera body, the lens, and various accessories usually necessary to get started. A kit lens can be sold by itself outside of a kit, particularly the ones that are moderately expensive; for instance a kit lens included in a prosumer camera kit is often marketed as an upgrade lens for a consumer camera. In addition, retailers often have promotions of standalone low-end camera bodies without the lens, or a package that bundles a body with one or two more expensive lenses.
