  • Beautiful retro design
  • Excellent image quality
  • Fast and advanced autofocus
  • Solid build quality
Cons
  • Slightly heavy
  • Unusual SD card slot choice

The camera's design and layout, while intuitive, may take some getting used to, especially for those unfamiliar with retro-style cameras. The 3.68 million dot viewfinder and 2 million dot tilting touch screen add to the overall usability of the camera, making it suitable for a range of shooting scenarios.

The Nikon ZF is a beautifully designed, full-frame camera with a retro style, reminiscent of the old fm2 film SLR camera from the 80s. The camera features a full-frame 24-megapixel sensor and in-body image stabilization. Despite being a bit heavy at 710g, the build quality is solid, with a magnesium alloy body and faux leather grip. The camera's autofocus is advanced, with useful tracking, and the burst speed of 14 frames per second and 4K 60p video recording make it a versatile choice.
