Zfc Update - After 2 Months

Nikon Zfc, Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 AF-D

2 months with the Zfc and where am I? Not shooting much remains the answer. I've taken just shy of 250 shots with the Zfc, largely due to not getting out to shoot more than anything else. That is more than I've shot with my other bodies though (the Z5ii has seen about 50 shots in the same period, the Z7 none). 

I actually rather do like the camera, enough that it's making me rethink DX vs FX as a long-term strategy. But in regards to the Zfc in particular, it continues to be the 'Digital FM10' I was hoping it would be. I'm quite enjoying using it in combination with the two native DX manual lenses I own and plan to add a few more (specifically I want the 7Artisans 10mm f3.5 and 35mm f1.4 II, and then 1-2 more lenses, one around 17/18mm and fast, one as a faster alternative to my 25/2). I also picked up a remarkably inexpensive F mount Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 with the built-in lens AF motor. It works well enough on the FTZII unless you let it hit MFD in AF mode where it will get all sorts of confused. Optically solid though and a useful range and maximum aperture. It has me considering seriously whether I should get a Nikkor Z 16-50/2.8 VR as an everyday lens, the range is great and that lens is smaller and lighter than the Tamron+FTZ combo I currently use. 

The main downsides I see with the Zfc are the very average EVF and the lack of IBIS, and the former is acceptable for the price point where it remains one of the better EVF's for its cost. IBIS I'd really like, but again at this price point it's somewhat rare. I also wish it had Flexible Color Picture Controls, as those make JPEG shooting more interesting to me and this would be the perfect camera to do JPEG shooting as it's my 'non-serious' camera. 

So overall, after 2 months I like the camera, would really like to see an update with EXPEED7+IBIS and am rethinking FX as a long-term strategy given how much I shoot these days and my preference for inexpensive + smaller glass where DX is finally building a nice (but almost entirely 3rd party) catalog. Viltrox and 7Artisans both launched some interesting new DX lenses recently, and I'm considering buying several of them (notably the 7Artisans trio of 25/35/50 f1.8 lenses at $125USD each, and the 90mm f2.2 from Viltrox. The Viltrox 75mm is les interesting since 7Artisans does a FX version for slightly less and that would complete the trio with my 28SE and 40SE)
