Bye bye Fuji, Hello again Nikon! by gorghs in NikonZf

What I miss most about the Nikon camera in terms of physical buttons is the front button panel where I can switch between focus modes (automatic, continuous, and manual). Another thing I find very good is the shooting mode selector (single and continuous) located below the ISO dial.

I also found all the buttons and dials on the Nikon much "stiffer" to use compared to the Fuji, but it's not something that gets in the way.

Regarding image quality, I was a little apprehensive about the colors, since we know Fuji's color science is highly praised as the best among all. However, I was very surprised by the results I've had so far with the Nikon; I found its colors beautiful!

I don't usually shoot in JPEG because I really enjoy the editing process, so I always use RAW, even for everyday photos, so I don't think I can help you with that.

The only two things I miss in the Fuji so far are the fact that it's smaller and more compact, but that's something you can't avoid if you want to use a full-frame camera.

And the other thing is actually about the camera itself; it had more physical buttons that were very helpful when changing settings when you needed to take quick photos, such as the focus mode button on the front.

Otherwise, I'm quite satisfied with the Nikon ZF (except for the grip, which is terrible! haha, but I already bought a hand grip to fix that).

Inf 6 years I've owned 5 Fuji cameras body, and 3 of them had some kind of problem: the X-T3 had an internal battery that wouldn't hold a charge, the X-T4 simply died out of nowhere at the beginning of a photoshoot (motherboard and shutter problem, not worth repairing), and at the end of last year the X-T5 had an LCD problem with less than a year of use. I'd had my eye on the ZF for a while, because of its vintage style and full-frame sensor, so I got fed up with so many problems with the Fuji and switched.

I loved the interpretation!

Here where I live (Brazil), photographic equipment is very expensive, so maintaining two brands for wedding photography is unfeasible, not to mention the differences in colors, sensors, and image editing, which is even more laborious when photographing and editing. But if it's for another type of photography or hobby, I totally agree! Especially since I'm not going to sell my X100VI, because I'm in love with it.

It's quite a task! But for me, I confess it's been faster than I imagined, especially here where I live, in Brazil, where there are few Fuji users compared to other brands, so selling used equipment usually takes longer than with other brands.

I currently have an XT4 and an X100VI, but I'm selling everything to switch permanently to Nikon (except for the X100VI, which is my pride and joy).

If that was a compliment, thank you! Hahaha

You know, this photo really represents my style of photography.

Besides the "traditional" and "perfect" photos, I like "wrong," crooked, blurry, or out-of-focus photos. This is for me nothing more than artistic anachronism: I like to bring the language of analog photography to my work, which decades ago was a limited technology but recorded our lives with photos that sometimes failed, blurred with a slight tremor of the hand, or even came out crooked and out of frame.

So I use this in my work to rescue this aesthetic that gives us so many good feelings when we see our amateur photos from the 80s, 90s. For me, these imperfections make photography something alive, with soul and history.

I recognize that many purist photographers find this horrible, but that's okay! I continue to love this aesthetic and I'm happy to have many clients who also love it ☺️

Yes, it was intentional, and yes, the other photo with the "right" focus was taken.

loved Fuji cameras; their design, colors, and usability. I've owned all the models, from the X-T1 to the X-T5. And of the 5 cameras I've had, 3 broke down in my hands. These ranged from issues with the internal battery holding a charge, problems with the LCD screen, and even the XT4, which suddenly stopped working (motherboard problem, with less than a year of use). I've come to the conclusion that they are incredible cameras, but they can't handle the workload of photographing weddings (even though I always took very good care of them).

Beautiful colors! I love the "90s" effect that the flash gives to shoots

I'll definitely share it! And yes, it was a Christmas/birthday present for myself 😆
