Nikon Zf
A retro-dial full-frame enthusiast body pairing classic styling with modern Z9-derived AF, a 24.5MP sensor, IBIS rated to 8 stops with focus-point VR, 4K60, and 710g weight. The style-plus-substance pick, and strong in low light. Best for shooters who want character and capable AF in one camera; less ideal for grip-heavy telephoto work given the flat body, and the microSD second slot may irritate some.
