    I must say that it is utter b§§£$#!t !
    "Give me a proper shutter speed dial, an ISO dial, an excellent electronic viewfinder, and either a fixed rear screen or a simple tilting one.
    Give me a mechanical shutter. Leave video out entirely. Skip the creator modes and the endless layers of features intended for people who will never use the camera primarily for still photography.
    And make it properly. Metal bodywork. Good mechanical controls. Something that feels as though it was designed to last rather than simply to hit a specification and a price point."

    Apart from the tilt screen ( which I prefer it ; flip screen actually can be tilted as well if he hasn't noticed yet!), what the Nikon Zf has missing from the list he came up with! I never heard that Nikon puts a gun on users’ heads to use video functions or creator modes!
    Of course, the writer of the article is fully aware of it, but it is a click and bait article. If you need the latest auto focus, you need this scanning and processing power. If you need a to notch EVF you need a reasonably large battery to support it, sensor and processor.
    He would have been more sincere if he was asking for a fully manual focus camera like old fashioned Nikon F cameras like Leica Ms.
