After using the Z9 for a while I have to say that many of the features are very nice and I really got back into using my Nikons again. I then decided that I had to have a camera that was smaller. So I looked for something closer to my Fuji XT5 which I really like. So to be kind to me Nikon have released and I purchased a nice new Zf. The Nikon Zf has all the AF speed that I have been accustomed to on my Nikons from before and in fact is pretty close to the Z9 in this respect. It also has a real advantage in that it is considerably lighter than my Z9 but not as light unfortunately as my XT5. There is a very nice B&W mode as well that allows me to have a B&W image directly from the camera. This feature still allows me to shoot in RAW mode but it provides to Nikon Studio NX a RAW file that has a bit set that makes the image B&W, but if you edit in Photoshop ACR v.16.1 than you can unset this bit and you can use the image as an original colour or B&W image. So I am very pleased with everything about the Zf. I have also decided that since I have the FTZ adapter for use on my Z7 I now have full use of the older F series of AFS lenses that I have as well as the older AF-D and MF lenses. Phew no more expensive Nikon glass to buy.

I still have my Fuji kit and in many ways the Zf is more like a Fuji (XT5) than other Nikons. What I do have is a situation where I can shoot MF (Fuji), FF (Nikon) and APS-C (Fuji) and no Nikon APS-C except my D500 which I have kept as it pairs so well with the Nikon 200-500 for birding. I will use the Fuji XT5 with 10-24, 16-80 and 70-300 as my travel kit, the Nikon Zf and Z9 as my landscape cameras and the Fuji GFX100S kit for critical or large landscape work.

Jonathan I am intrigued with your choice of a the 40mp Fuji XT5 DX sensor versus a 24mp Nikon Zf FX sensor. Intuitively one would question the propensity for high pixel density on smaller sensors to generate more noise. Is the Fuji better at reducing noise than Nikon? We’ve always considered 24mp on FX to be the sweet spot. So what’s with the Fuji? I’ve heard good reports from another friend with this camera and just wondered how it appears to buck the pixel to noise trend.

That’s what a friend says he is finding and believes its to do with some sort of linear processing…but didn’t elaborate. I don’t recall shooting at high iso with the fujis I had but as I am going through the archive sorting raws I will have a closer look at the fujis files.
