Nikon Z fc
Nikon released a firmware update for its Nikon Z fc APS-C mirrorless camera. The update fixes an issue that occurred in rare cases where tapping the monitor would not move the focus point to the selected position(download ). However, the Z Fc is currently selling for $996 , which is exactly the same price that the full-frame Nikon Z5 is selling for ! At this price level, I don't see many reasons to buy the Z Fc over the Z5 other than its more compact body, fully articulated screen (vs tilting), and faster shooting speed. In all other areas, the Z5 is the superior camera.
