Some firmware updates really transform your camera into a whole new beast, almost like a new camera itself. The Nikon Zf firmware version 2. 02 isn't one of them. It's more cosmetic in nature than anything else, and it doesn't improve image quality.
Firmware updates are critical for photographers. They not only improve on existing features but also help in bridging the gap between newer and older technology. For instance, a firmware update can help to improve RAW files or battery; in other cases, it improves low-light performance or autofocus quickness.
There's a theory floating around the web that the reportedly-to-be-coming Nikon Zf could be modeled after the Nikon F3. Released in 1980, the camera helped photographers tell stories across the world.
Nikon announced a partnership with lifestyle brand Gaston Luga to produce what it bills as a stylish yet functional weather-resistant camera backpack, but it isn't available to buy.
