The Nikon Z fc in detail - test report
"The Nikon Z fc is well suited for anyone who enjoys photography & making videos and likes to be light and uncomplicated on the go. However, I would definitely recommend adding a good, fast lens. This brings you into the higher price range, but it is definitely worth it! I used the camera mostly with the Nikon AF-S Nikkor E 28mm f/1.4 ED Nikon FX. The camera has an APS-C sensor with a crop factor of 1.5, which means with a 28mm lens I got an image impression of 42mm. Found it nice, but I am and will stay with full frame. "
