Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on the silver version (no sign-in required to leave a comment). Would this temp you to purchase it now that the silver version is out? I think it looks better and more retro than the all black version.

NIKON RELEASES A NEW SILVER EDITION OF THE Z F FULL-FRAME MIRRORLESS CAMERA

Introducing a New Color for the Z f that Combines a Heritage Design with the Performance of a Full-Frame Camera

Melville, NY —

Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a new silver edition of the full-frame/FX-format Nikon Z f mirrorless camera. The Nikon Z f combines a timeless design inspired by an iconic Nikon film camera with the superior performance of a full-frame mirrorless camera.

Three new Premium Exterior*1, color options will also be available, providing more choices for users to customize the color of their Z f camera body*. Additionally, the Z f will support a new Film Grain feature that adds grain to photos and videos, further expanding creative possibilities.

Designed to resemble the silver plating on film-era cameras like the Nikon F, the metallic texture creates an authentic feel suited to the premium, full-frame retro design. Three new Premium Exteriors color options have been added: Cognac Brown, Teal Blue, and Mauve Pink – all with an embossed texture. These are subtle, yet elegant tones that complement the silver body, providing more options for customizing the exterior of the camera than ever before. In addition to the three colors, Moss Green, Stone Gray, Sepia Brown are available –allowing for six color variations in total. Additionally, the sophisticated design will help inspire users every time they pick up the camera.

A Film Grain Feature for Film-Like Expression
A future firmware update for the Nikon Z f will offer the new Film Grain feature, which adds grain to photos and videos. Users will be able to achieve more creative imaging expression in accordance with the scene and their intent by adjusting grain size (3 options) and strength (6 options). By combining this feature with Imaging Recipes, (downloadable imaging presets created by Nikon and creators) and Picture Controls, users will enjoy film-like expression tailored to their personal and creative style. This update is scheduled for release within 2025.

Price and Availability
The new Nikon Z f Silver Edition will be available in late September for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $2,199.95, or $2,299.95* for the new premium exterior options.
