Nikon Z fc And Z 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens Kit in More Detail
Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Silver Edition Lens
The Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Silver Edition is a standard width zoom lens based on the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR. The lens has been designed with a silver exterior to match the Nikon Z fc body. The lens is extremely compact and lightweight for the range, with a total length of 32mm and weight of approx. 135g. Despite its size the Z DX 16-50mm renders high resolution throughout the zoom range, perfect for everyday shooting, landscapes and portraits. High resolution and aberrations are dealt with by an optical design with 9 elements in 7 groups (including 1 ED element and 4 aspherical elements). Silent AF ensures those shooting in quiet settings or recording video can shoot without drawing attention and the lens harnesses the power of Nikon’s Eye and Face AF with confidence.
The retractable zoom design allows the lens to be compact enough for travel and storage whilst extending when zoomed in, providing freedom to capture brilliant photos and movies while out and about. 7 rounded diaphragm aperture blades offer a pleasing amount of rounded bokeh for out of focus areas when isolating a subject from the background.
Nikon Z fc Camera styling
The Nikon Z fc features a pentaprism design with black and silver design elements reflect the legendary FM2. The EVF has a circular eyepiece and the dial designs and inscribed Nikon logo are reminiscent of the 1970-80s. Nikon has used a high quality magnesium alloy chassis to ensure the camera is durable for todays adventures.
Creative expression meets function
The top of the Z fc’s body features three control dials and a small window to display current aperture. These dials provide instant control over shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity. Along with these Nikon has added a customisable i-button and i-menu, which allow users to quickly adjust settings with the press of a button.
Exposure compensation is supported when shooting in AUTO mode on the Z fc. This handy new feature provides options to increase brightness and enhance silhouettes, for easier creative expression.
The camera also features 20 Creative Picture Control options that deliver unique styling for your images straight out of camera. These can even be refined with hue, tone and saturation to adjust effects to any taste.
The latest AF technology
Nikon’s Eye-Detection AF and Animal-Detection AF has been integrated into this vintage style camera, which is supported for both stills and video. This tracks subjects across wide-area AF (L) and AF-area mode is supported, ensuring sharp eyes and faces are captured throughout the scene.
Wide native ISO range
The Z fc comes with a native ISO 100-51200 ensuring content creators working across any genre will be able to shoot in all lighting conditions.
Vari-angle monitor
A vari-angle monitor has been included for the first time on any Nikon mirrorless camera.This allows flexible framing from low or high angles and when the monitor is rotated to the front, the camera automatically switches to self-portrait mode. This makes shooting selfies effortless, providing full camera control and composition with touch operation.
SnapBridge Ver. 2.8 Improved connectivity
The SnapBridge app can be used to transfer photos and videos to a smart device, making it easy for users to share them on social media.
Snapbridge 2.8 sports a new user interface with two automatic connection modes: foreground mode and background mode. The foreground mode connects with the camera only when the app is activated, reducing camera battery consumption. The background mode features a constant connection, transferring images automatically even when the app is not activated.
Additional camera features
- The EVF employs an organic EL panel for a more natural view
- 4K UHD using the full DX sensor movie area without crop
- Supports Full-time AF dedicated for video recording
- Slow-motion video shooting is made easy by simply selecting an image size and frame rate

Our Verdict
There’s a considerable market for vintage style cameras today as photographers and content creators look for something unique to shoot with. Nikon has really nailed the design with this first ‘heritage’ camera, the Z fc. The buttons make a nice click, there’s a video switch and record button along with plenty to keep you immersed in the experience. They then went ahead and redesigned the versatile Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 SE VR zoom lens to create this chic kit. The result is definitely eye catching, particularly with three dials for quick access to camera settings on the top plate and the classic silver and black body and lens combination.
This kit is also about ease of use combined with advanced features and comes with the first vari-angle LCD touchscreen for selfie style photos and vlogging. Those who do create movie content will love the full DX sensor 4K video and slow motion capabilities of 120fps in FHD. In-camera vibration reduction as well as lens based VR also serve to stabilise images and video when shooting in low light. Fast moving subjects are dealt with by a competent 11fps burst rate as well as the latest Eye and Face AF detection ported over from the newest full frame cameras in Nikon’s Z line-up. Whether you are new to Nikon mirrorless cameras or simply enjoy creating photos and videos with a retro camera using a versatile zoom lens this kit makes for an excellent choice.
