Nikon Z fc vs Nikon Z7

Let's look more closely at the Nikon Z fc vs Nikon Z7, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and they are both built by Nikon. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the Z fc (21MP) and Z7 (46MP) and the Z fc (APS-C) and Z7 (Full frame) offer totally different sensor sizes.

The Z fc was revealed 2 years later than the Z7 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the Z fc grades against the Z7 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Z fc and Nikon Z7. The full galleries are provided at Nikon Z fc Gallery and Nikon Z7 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera, you are going to need to think about its weight and size. The Nikon Z fc provides external measurements of 135mm x 94mm x 44mm (5.3" x 3.7" x 1.7") and a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) while the Nikon Z7 has specifications of 134mm x 101mm x 68mm (5.3" x 4.0" x 2.7") having a weight of 675 grams (1.49 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the Z fc against the Z7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Z fc and Z7 is 79 and 62 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching specs. The graphic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z fc and Z7.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z fc using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon Z7 will result in more detail because of its extra 25 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more recent Z fc is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
