The Nikon Z fc Gets Four New Premium Exteriors from Art Agency HERALBONY

MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Nikon Inc. announced a limited-edition release of the "Nikon | HERALBONY Z fc" model, featuring premium exterior designs created by contracted artists from HERALBONY Co., Ltd. These models were previously only available in select markets outside of the U.S.

HERALBONY is a Japanese company dedicated to challenging preconceptions of disability through art. Nikon was inspired by HERALBONY's mission to "Radiate Your Color" and its extensive licensed art collection created by neurodiverse artists, and this shared vision led to the collaboration. With the Z fc featuring unique artwork, this camera will not only serve as a tool for capturing and expressing moments, but also as a means for individuals to express their own unique identities.

During this collaboration, Nikon and HERALBONY carefully selected four works of art from the 2,000+ pieces in the HERALBONY licensed collection to be featured on the premium exterior of the Z fc*. Individuals can now choose a camera adorned with a design that particularly resonates with them. Additionally, this collaborative edition includes exclusive welcome screens that can be displayed when the camera is turned on, plus the camera comes in specially designed packaging, enriching the user experience.

The Nikon Z fc is an APS-C / DX-format mirrorless camera that combines the latest mirrorless technology with classic design and functionality. It's the compact and lightweight everyday companion that evokes both the urge to create and to take the time to embrace the moment. Featuring a heritage-inspired design, satisfying analog controls and craftsmanship that's both unique and functional, the Z fc is built to be a modern camera that's simply a joy to use for everything from stunning street snaps, self-portraits and everyday video content in 4K.

Price and Availability
The new Nikon Z fc HERALBONY edition will be available in four colors representing the work of each artist and paired with the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens.
