Also not much fun for shooting small children. Without a monitor, such a camera would be useless for video. Naysayers have other options to please them but I would be loathe to give up this camera. I am also considering available primes, probably a macro, to use with it. There will be very little menu diving once one becomes familiar with the camera and set it up the way you like. The menus are easy to access and clearly laid out. Auto ISO, once assigned, is easy to access. Aperture is easily controlled on front command dial and clearly seen in view finder or on LCD. The color depth is very nice and files easily convert to B&W. This camera with the two Z mount zooms (18-50 & 50-240) is very sharp in its resolving ability. I do not miss a big grip which I had on a D700. I waited for this from Nikon and it does not disappoint. The manual dial controls add value for me because that is the way I learned (on my old Canon AT1) and still love to shoot. I have had my Ffc for a month and love the camera. I think the majority of the users won’t notice this difference and perhaps even prefer the reduced weight over a heavy camera. Perhaps the lack of a heavy pentaprism also plays its part in reducing the weight. The Z fc is made of an aluminum alloy that has less weight compared to the metal construction of the FE. Picking up the Nikon Z fc brings a bit of a surprise, especially when you have the Nikon FE next to it. It’s not full frame (35mm film) like the old Nikon FE. Although the size is very similar, the new Nikon Z fc is an APS-C camera with a 1.5x crop. But there is one big difference that can’t be ignored when comparing the Nikon Z fc with an older SLR like the FE. It makes the camera a bit higher, which is good news for the photographer with large hands. The Nikon representative told me about an extra grip that will be available, offering more to hold on to. The 35mm film is replaced by a APS-C sensor.
