Nikon Z fc 20.9MP DX Mirrorless Camera Body Only

Overview

Bring classic Nikon styling together with modern mirrorless performance in the Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Camera – Body Only.

Inspired by the legendary Nikon FM2 film camera, the Z fc combines tactile physical control dials with a 20.9MP DX-format CMOS sensor, EXPEED 6 image processor, 209-point hybrid autofocus and 4K UHD video recording. Its lightweight body and fully articulating touchscreen make it equally suited to photography, travel, street shooting, portraits, video and vlogging.

Please note: this is the camera body only. No lens is included. A compatible Nikon Z-mount lens is required for normal photography.

Key Features & Benefits

• Capture Rich Detail in Every Frame – 20.9MP DX Sensor
  The 20.9-megapixel Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor delivers detailed photographs with strong colour, contrast and low-light performance, providing plenty of flexibility for editing, printing and sharing.

  Nikon's EXPEED 6 image-processing engine delivers responsive operation, fast autofocus and excellent image processing, helping the camera keep up whether you are photographing people, pets, travel or everyday moments.
• Keep Moving Subjects Sharp – 209-Point Hybrid Autofocus
  A sophisticated 209-point hybrid phase-detection and contrast-detection AF system provides wide focusing coverage, helping you quickly lock onto subjects across the frame.
• Make Portraits Easier – Eye-Detection AF
  Let the camera locate and track human eyes automatically, helping you concentrate on expression and composition instead of constantly adjusting your focus point.
• Capture Pets with Confidence – Animal-Detection AF
  Nikon's Animal-Detection AF can recognise and track the eyes of compatible subjects such as cats and dogs in both still photography and video, making spontaneous pet photography much easier.

• Create Detailed Video Content – 4K UHD at 30p
  Record crisp 3840 × 2160 4K UHD video at up to 30p, making the Z fc a versatile choice for travel films, YouTube content, interviews and everyday filmmaking. Nikon's 4K recording uses the DX image area without an additional crop.

• Compose with Confidence – 2.36M-Dot OLED Viewfinder
  The high-resolution 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides approximately 100% frame coverage, giving you a clear view of your composition and camera settings before capturing the image.

  A wide standard sensitivity range of ISO 100–51200, expandable up to the equivalent of ISO 204800, gives you greater flexibility when photographing indoors, at night or in changing light.
• Take Direct Control of Your Photography – Dedicated Physical Dials
  Separate controls for shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity recreate the tactile feel of classic Nikon cameras, allowing important settings to be adjusted without digging through menus.
• See Your Aperture Instantly – Dedicated Aperture Display
  A small top-panel display shows the selected f-number, giving the Z fc a distinctive analogue-inspired experience while keeping important exposure information immediately visible.
• Express Your Style In-Camera – 20 Creative Picture Controls
  Choose from 20 Creative Picture Controls and preview the effect in real time, making it easy to give photographs and videos a distinctive look before they even reach editing software.
• Share More Quickly – Built-In Wi-Fi & Bluetooth
  Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work with Nikon's SnapBridge ecosystem, helping transfer compatible photographs to your smartphone and simplifying your connected workflow.
• Built to Travel – Lightweight 390g Camera Body
  At approximately 390g for the camera body alone, the Z fc delivers interchangeable-lens flexibility without the weight of a traditional DSLR, making it particularly appealing for travel and everyday photography.
• Premium Construction Without Excess Bulk – Magnesium Alloy Structure
  Nikon uses magnesium alloy within the Z fc's construction to balance durability and portability, creating a camera designed to look distinctive while remaining practical to carry.
• Build the System You Want – Nikon Z Mount
  Because this is the body-only version, you can choose the Z-mount lens that best matches your photography rather than being tied to a kit lens. Nikon Z DX and compatible FX lenses can be used, while many Nikon F-mount lenses can be attached using a compatible FTZ mount adapter, subject to lens restrictions.

Why Choose This Product

The Nikon Z fc is an excellent choice for photographers who want their camera to be as enjoyable to use as the images it creates.

Its FM2-inspired design provides something increasingly rare in digital photography: direct, tactile control over key settings. Instead of relying entirely on menus, you can physically dial in ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation, making the process of photography more deliberate and engaging.

Underneath the retro exterior is a thoroughly modern Nikon Z-series camera. The 20.9MP DX sensor, EXPEED 6 processor, 209-point autofocus system, Eye and Animal Detection AF and up to 11fps shooting make it capable enough for portraits, travel, street photography and everyday action.

For hybrid creators, the combination of 4K video, Full HD 120p, a front-facing vari-angle touchscreen and external microphone input also makes the Z fc a highly capable content-creation camera.

And because this listing is body only, you have complete freedom to build the lens setup that suits your photography.
