It’s a case of back to the future with this latest Nikon APS-C mirrorless camera. No hoverboards or DeLoreans are required this time around, however, as the manufacturer has taken inspiration from its own Nikon FM2 film SLR from the mid-1980s. Bringing things up to date here, we get 20.9 million pixel effective digital images or 4K video clips.

The seductively retro SLR-like pentaprism design of the Nikon Z fc with its tactile knobs, levers and dials is high up on the list of features that will appeal to the photo enthusiast wanting to get hands-on with manual selections, as opposed to simply letting the camera do it all and concentrating on pointing and shooting.
