The Nikon Zf is a 24mp full frame mirrorless camera that shares some of the looks of older classic SLRs – the familiar pyramid viewfinder, a circular shutter dial, an independent ISO dial.

I was told that it’s able to capture 11fps stills and handle 4K video at 30fps. The autofocus tracking can recognize nine types of subjects. The image stabilization is linked to the AF point. The rear screen is fully articulated. The camera also features several dedicated black and white modes.

For the fashionable photographer the Zf is available in six different colors.

The price is about $2250 with 40mm f/2 lens.

After speaking to the Nikon rep who explained the camera’s features, he walked me over to their in-booth photo studio for a demonstration.

I registered my name and email address and found myself in line to have my picture taken. Here the photographer was using the Zf camera surrounded by a set of lightboxes.

After sitting for a series of six photos I walked over to the nearby monitor where the artist assistant showed me the resulting pictures.

Whatever the artist did, the portraits turned out better than my real life visage.

Later in the day, the images from the photoshoot arrived in my email box.

Here are a couple of the portraits taken with the Nikon Zf.

 

Seconds later I received an email on my cellphone.

It contained the following short mp4 video.
