The Nikon Z fc, announced on 29 June 2021 and released in July 2021, is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera with the Nikon Z-mount with a MSRP of $960 body only, in the US.[1][2]

It is based on the DX-format Nikon Z 50 and has a classic design with control dials, similar to the Nikon FM2, an F-mount film camera launched in 1982. The body is made from magnesium alloy and carbon composite materials. Overall, the Z fc has fourteen styles available: a silver body in 13 colors (black, white, mint green, coral pink, amber brown, natural grey, sand beige, midnight grey, chalk blue, mustard yellow, crimson red, walnut brown, olive green)[3] and a "Black Edition" with a fully black body,[4] with which Nikon also announced the Nikkor Z 40mm ƒ/2 SE lens (Special Edition) in November 2022.[5] The set includes a Nikkor Z 28mm ƒ/2.8 lens (Special Edition) designed to match the body.[6] The body is also distributed in a bundle with a silver version of Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR (SL).

On 12 September 2024, Nikon announced four "HERALBONY" limited editions of the Z fc, featuring designs created by neurodiverse artists. Nikon and HERALBONY selected four works of art of more than 2,000 pieces in the HERALBONY licensed collection. The selected artworks are "Yurinoyoakeri" by Masaharu Honda, "Cone Flower" by Masahiro Fukui, "Joyful Time" by Teppei Kasahara and "Samba" by Momoko Eguchi.[7]

The name "fc" is taken from the "f," which represents the fusion of Nikon's history and technology, and the "c," which represents the casual use of a camera with a classic design.[8] On 2 July 2021, Nikon announced that the Z fc "may not be available by the launch date due to higher than expected reservations".[9][10]

The Z fc has won the Camera Grand Prix 2022 Editors Choice R&D Award.[11]
