There have been persistent rumors that Nikon is readying a heavily retro-inspired mirrorless camera called the Zfc for release, and more information has emerged, including a likely announcement date of June 28. Other information includes an expected price and likely specifications.
Nikon Rumors is reporting that the Zfc mirrorless camera will likely be announced tomorrow, June 28.
The Zfc looks heavily inspired by the FM film cameras of yore. Fuji’s X Series has been highly lauded for its design that encourages a return to pure photography, and like the Df DSLR of several years ago, the Zfc looks to capitalize on the retro revival of recent years. Rumor has it the Zfc will be a DX body and will have specs very similar to the Z 50, with a price of $999 (including the kit lens), coming in three color choices: silver, black, and brown. Two new DX lenses are also expected, a 28mm f/2.8 and a 35mm f/1.8, though these are likely to follow the modern Z lens design aesthetics. We will see what tomorrow brings!
