Nikon Announces New All-Black Version of Z fc as Well as Special Edition NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 SE

Nikon puts a stylish twist on a couple products in its Z family of mirrorless cameras.

Yes, I admit it. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, one of the main reasons I really liked the Nikon Z fc camera when it was first released was for the styling.

If that makes me a (really old) hipster, then so be it. I am 100% clear that the way a camera looks doesn’t affect the way it performs.

But for a camera like the Z fc, which is a great everyday walk around camera, I can’t help but to appreciate that it elevates my attire. What can I say? I like to be fancy.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t also take awesome photographs. I was marveling the other day at just how much I have ended up using the Z fc for personal photography since I bought it. As a professional photographer, I have plenty of other workhorse cameras with more enticing specs.

But for many other daily tasks, like walkabout photography or even taking Zoom calls, the Z fc comes out of my bag just as often as my big guns. And today, Nikon announced two new products for those who appreciate a little style with their gear.
