First Nikon camera. My journey: A few old point and shoot film cameras, a few P&S digital cameras (including the RX100MII), a Pentax DSLR, a bunch of Fujifilm cameras, and lastly the Canon R6MII before this Nikon. I'll be staying in the Nikon family from here on, I really like what these cameras offer. I never shoot often enough to truly improve but I enjoy the process and so I keep coming back.

Feel free to critique any photos I post, and be aware I enjoy sarcasm so don't worry about hurting my feelings. :)

Playing around with the 28-400 and I mistakenly had the ZF set to DX mode, whoops.

I do have some. :)
I love it. Okay, it's a heavy little body, but not an issue.
  • The AF, slightly better than the R6M2 AF-C. It has a higher noticeable accuracy when tracking a fast moving dog. That surprised me.
  • The R6M2 has a better delete feature. You can delete entire groups of burst shots at once.
  • The colors of the Nikon are my preference. The Canon skews too much towards sunset for me if given the choice.
  • Lens selection is FAR better than Canon offerings.
  • The ISO performance is sublime on the Zf, love it. And the adjustment between auto and the dial is the best implementation I have used to date, once set up.
  • The battery performance is good, but not so good as the Canon.
  • I picked up the inexpensive Meike 85mm f1.8 PRO lens, it's pretty good for the money and fairly light.
I cannot comment on how this will integrate with a Godox flash as yet, I only still have my V860IIf and haven't gotten the remote transmitter for the Nikon to use it with TTL.

I recommend this Zf to anybody who wants to enjoy a fun and reliable camera system.

Maybe for some users. The update changes won't affect my use as yet. That being said, I do enjoy installing my updates.
Thanks BF.
