The story behind the Z fc (as mentioned by Nikon). The name Nikon Z fc represents one of this camera’s roles: to communicate the history of the brand with its more than 70 years of dedicated camera manufacturing, connecting the past, present and the future. The letter ‘f‘ stands for the fusion of tactile precision mechanics and high image quality, both extensively developed through decades of designing and manufacturing image-making tools. The ‘f’ also signifies models with symbolic importance in Nikon’s history. The letter ‘c’, meanwhile, conveys Nikon’s wish for this camera, with all its inherited tradition, to be used by anyone, anywhere, ‘casually’.

Based on the Nikon FM2 (film camera) design, the Z fc is a retro-style digital mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses (in some ways, you can see similarities with the Nikon Z50). It is stylish yet sophisticated. Nikon users from the film-era may be ‘magnetised’ with its beauty and ease of use. With the introduction of the Z fc on June 29, 2021 in India, the Z fc becomes the 7th Z-series mirrorless camera from Nikon. Without much ado, let’s see how this delightful baby stands up to our rigorous tests…
