I can't see any mention of IBIS. Did I miss something?

Get the Zf in your favorite color  ;D
Sure looks like a winner for the general users especially the vlogger and blogger and the vintage group  8)

I probably belong to the latter :) :)

So far, Z f is a beefed-up Z fc with better build, bigger sensor, and lower resolution. I.e., it follows the Df formula with updated insights into the necessity of better construction.

I might get myself one of these ...

Price in Japan still a mystery, and can’t be pre-ordered yet….

But when related to the $ price it’s going to be very expensive for us poor yen earning locals :-(

The Norwegian price is, as would be expected, rather stiff at NOK 31.900,- or approx. 3.200 Euro.

Still far below the Z8, though :)

same old sensor, no sensor shield, no improved viewfinder. Good looks (though I prefer silver) is not enough to justify an upgrade. But then again, for the price I hadn't expected much. For someone wanting to get into Nikon mirrorless for the first time, on the other hand, it looks much more promising as it costs barely if any more than the existing Z6 and the AF should be better though we'll need to wait and see how much better. For me it will be much more interesting to wait for the Z6iii. I suppose for pretty, I still have the Df.

What a character - at least he has verified that the dials are brass!   ;D LOL

Actually not such a bad link from Ricci.

They are on initial offer here in Australia for $A3,4989 (body only) and $3,989 with the 40mm f/2.0 Z lens.  Also included are a colour change offer after sale and a Small Rig hand grip.  The hand grip is from Nikon Australia - interesting that a hand grip add on features so early in the model life of the camera.  There was quite a bit of comment about the Df grip when that camera was first introduced. Good that it has a regular EN-EL15c battery.  Prices include 10% GST/VAT and the Aussie dollar is around US 65c at the moment.
