Nikon Zfc Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens (Black)

Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Black Edition)

Sleek Retro Design Meets Modern Mirrorless Performance

For creators who appreciate the tactile joy and timeless aesthetics of analog film cameras but prefer a stealthier, more modern finish, the Nikon Z fc Black Edition is a stunning achievement. While the original silver Z fc was a direct homage to the legendary Nikon FM2 from 1982, this all-black variant offers the same precision-carved aluminum dials and classic pentaprism-style viewfinder housing, but wrapped in a sleek, monochromatic, professional-looking exterior.

Paired with the matching black NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens, this kit is as much a fashion statement as it is a highly capable imaging tool. Beneath the vintage exterior lies the modern heart of the Nikon Z50, featuring a 20.9-megapixel APS-C sensor, blazing-fast eye-detection autofocus, and uncropped 4K video capabilities.

Why You'll Love This Kit

• Tactile Mechanical Controls: The joy of the Z fc is in the shooting experience. Dedicated, machined aluminum dials on top of the camera give you instant physical control over ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation. There is even a tiny digital display window to show your current aperture.

• 20.9MP DX-Format Sensor: The large APS-C sensor gathers significantly more light than a smartphone, producing imagery with low noise, beautiful background blur, and excellent dynamic range.

• The Perfectly Matched Kit Lens: The included 16-50mm VR lens is incredibly compact (a "pancake" design) when retracted. It offers a versatile 24-75mm full-frame equivalent field of view, making it ideal for everything from wide street scenes to everyday portraits, and it features built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) to keep your shots steady.

• Fast, Reliable Autofocus: Nikon's hybrid autofocus system includes highly effective Eye-Detection AF for both humans and animals (dogs and cats), ensuring your subject is always tack-sharp, whether you are shooting stills or recording video.

• Vlogger-Friendly Screen: It is the first Nikon Z-series camera to feature a fully articulating 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen. It flips entirely forward for easy selfie framing and vlogging, and can be closed completely facing inward to protect the screen and complete the vintage film-camera look.

• Uncropped 4K Video: The Z fc records crisp 4K UHD video up to 30p utilizing the full width of the sensor (no crop), as well as Full HD up to 120p for epic slow-motion playback.

Technical Specifications

Things to Note

While the Z fc is a joy to hold, the retro design means it does not have a deep, pronounced handgrip like the closely related Nikon Z50 or Z30. If you are attaching larger, heavier lenses (like a telephoto zoom), the camera can feel front-heavy and difficult to hold comfortably with one hand. Nikon does sell an optional extension grip (GR-1) that adds a bit more to hold onto, which we are happy to special order!

Additionally, the camera body itself does not have In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). While the included 16-50mm lens has optical Vibration Reduction (VR) built-in, if you adapt vintage manual focus lenses or buy newer prime lenses without VR, you will need to keep your shutter speeds relatively fast to avoid camera shake. Finally, the battery life is relatively modest (CIPA rated for about 300 shots), so you will likely want a spare for a full day of shooting.
