Nikon Z fc

I picked this Z fc because it pairs Nikon's retro film-camera styling and dials with a modern mirrorless sensor and a handy 16-50mm kit lens, which makes it a fun camera to carry every day and not just on special occasions. I also like that its flip-out screen and straightforward controls suit both photos and video, so it can grow with you as you learn. Before buying, check whether the retro dials and compact kit lens fit the way you like to shoot, and think about whether you want an extra battery or a larger memory card.
