This charming retro Nikon camera is now the cheapest it’s been all year – I’d pick any of these three lens combos

The Nikon Z fc, a small and affordable member of the Nikon Z series, has recently been priced as low as possible, making it a superb choice for new Nikon users. This compact camera comes with three lens options: a 16-50mm zoom lens, a 28mm f/2.8 prime lens, or no lens at all for $738.

For general-purpose photography or travel, the 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 zoom lens is recommended due to its versatility, providing an equivalent focal range of 24-75mm. The low light performance of the f/3.5-6.3 aperture lens is beneficial for low-light conditions, given the Nikon Z fc's lack of built-in stabilization.

If you're more interested in fixed prime lenses for street or reportage-style photography, the 28mm f/2.8 prime lens combo is the ideal choice. This fixed focal length lens, reminiscent of classic street photography, forces you to adopt a wide perspective and engage creatively with the scene. Its f/2.8 aperture allows you to shoot well in low light, and its limited-edition retro design complements the Z fc's aesthetic appeal.
