Hi All,

I usually shoot with XE2s and Pentax K3II are my main camera's. I decided i want a newer camera but i decided to go for Nikon z FC. I only took it one time for a hike but I'm just not feeling it.

What is it that you're not feeling - what is the problem?

Is one use sufficient for you to feel you've given the camera a chance?

Im thinking of exchanging it for XE-4, XT30 II, XT3/4. How is everyone's experience with the DR and AF of these cameras?

Most of my cameras are old (leica X2, xv, m8, sigma sdq, panny G85, k3II, X100, Xe2s) etc.

Thanks

J

Thats the thing, i feel like i havent giving it a chance to shine but the fun wasnt there. I took another walk in the park with son and i took a different camera with me. I guess the excitement is just not there compared to my other cameras.

The appeal of the Zfc is that its physical form is similar to older Nikon slrs like the FM, what the Nikon acolytes are droning on about.  Although it's a beautiful camera with nostalgic throwback appeal, technically it's nothing special.  I would give it a little more time before I gave up on it since shooting with something new takes a little effort. I use both Fuji and Nikon and find them both really good, but if you want to move over to Fuji I think any of the XTs, even an earlier one like the XT1 which is simpler to operate, would be a good choice.
