So, the ZF ...

[Nikfuson]

Three advantages with the Zf:
IBIS - active around selected focus point (area?) with Z-lenses.
Sensorshift/High res - reduced noise at high iso
Automatic selection and magnification of face/eyes with manual focus lenses.

It’s really grating that Japan seems to be the only place where the price has not been published. Though as it’s priced in $, I suppose they are waiting for the most unfavorable $/¥ exchange rate :-(

Product reservation at shops starts at 10am tomorrow. I wonder if the price will be revealed then!

Not to mention superior subject recognition and tracking.

The Zf body is not my cup of tea but the technology is impressive and suggests what to expect when the Z6 and Z7 are updated.

How is life in Canada? Did your camera stuff arrive OK?

Given how utterly **** the Japanese economy is now, and with rampant inflation being countered with negative pay rises, your lifestyle here would have taken a nosedive had you remained.

Ricci sanded the brass dials which looks very cool imho:

Yes I saw that    I almost fell off the chair - Had never thought Ricci would do such a thing   
Agree, it has definitely a more retro look with brass dials, real Leica M companion

I'm a big fan of Sensorshift/High res; at least the way Pentax does it by combining all of the images "in camera".

I understand the Zf produces individual images which one must combine yourself "in post".   That's tech going backwards, and it's a deal breaker for me.

[MEPER]

Has anybody tried the sensor shift function in general to get hi-res images?
How fast is it?
Any image examples?

[Snoogly]

Has anyone seen anything about enabling auto ISO? I have never used a ZFC, but I seem to remember that you had to use the menu system to toggle it on and off.

So, what is there to procrastinate about?? I just made an order for Z f at my local dealer.  The price without VAT is tolerable, I suppose.

i was suicide for the hobby

here, Nikon...let me help you fix that.

Placed an order at my dealer as well. The Zf promises to be significantly different than what we had so far (more so than the Z8 compared to the Z9). Other than the Df it does not have an AF-ON button. I hope that the pretty much useless AF-L/AE-l button can be reprogrammed to serve in this function, otherwise I'd better cancel it.

this one is better

Almost a bargain in Japan. Works out at $1828
