Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera Recommendation

Nikon Zf 24-70

Summer Photo Trip Review

What if you could find a mirrorless camera that suits today's sensibilities,

and that also boasts a full-frame sensor and a classic design?

This summer, I took the Nikon Zf on a photo trip,

exploring various locations in Seoul.

Dreamlike Moment

From Suseongdong Valley after the rain to the serene alleys of Seochon,

and the sunset and night view of Nodeul Island.

It wasn't just for a review; I was genuinely satisfied.

I'll explain in detail why I recommend the Nikon Zf as a full-frame mirrorless camera.

Dreamlike Moment

NIKON Zf 24-70

Emotional Design + Performance Perfection of a Full-Frame Sensor

The Nikon Zf is simply beautiful from the first impression!

From the classic exterior inspired by the FM2,

to the physical dials and the matte body texture,

the very flow of operation is connected to analog sensibilities.

Promising Tomorrow

However, the Zf doesn't just stop at design.

It features a full-frame 24.5MP sensor, EXPEED 7 engine,

5-axis IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization), 4K 30p video recording,

and even eye and face detection AF!

Capturing the Waterfalls and Mist of Suseongdong Valley

Touching Scene

I went on a summer outing to Suseongdong Valley early in the morning after the rain!

I naturally captured the flow of the water using Shutter Priority (S) mode.

Thanks to the in-body image stabilization (IBIS), I was able to shoot without a tripod without any shake.

Valuable Experience

Inwang Mountain, faintly visible beyond the mist, retained its detail well even after post-processing.

It was a moment where the wide dynamic range of the Zf impressed me.

Fantastic Scene

In Seochon's public Hanok and Hanok alleys, I tested the Zf's black and white shooting capabilities.

The Zf has a Dedicated Monochrome mode,

allowing for optimized black and white expression, not just simple desaturation.

It's also easy to use, as you can just turn the dial.

Happy Moment

Warm Memory

The curves of the roofs, the texture of the walls... this monochrome tone made me newly appreciate the charm of black and white photography.

I definitely felt the depth that only a full-frame mirrorless camera can capture.

[Imaging Recipe] Remembering Nodeul Island's Sunset with Color

When I arrived at Nodeul Island, it was just the right time for the sun to start setting.

Happy Time

At that moment, I utilized Nikon's unique color customization function, 'Nikon Imaging Recipe.'

Nikon Imaging Recipes are not just simple filters,

but 'preset color profiles for photos/videos' created by different color designers.

The biggest advantage is that you can download them directly to the Zf body and apply them immediately during shooting.

Dreamlike Moment

Since the emotional colors that I used to get only through post-processing are now completed instantly on the Zf,

I can check the results right on the spot.

This is a really attractive feature for everyone from camera beginners to professional photographers and content creators.

Happy Moment

As darkness gradually fell on Nodeul Island, another atmosphere unfolded.

People taking a walk on a summer night, the lights of Yeouido in the distance, and the Seoul moon quietly floating behind the hazy clouds.

Beautiful Scenery

1/80 – ISO 3200 – f/4 – 29mm

In night view shooting, high ISO performance and noise reduction are most important.

The Zf maintained stable colors without losing detail even at ISO 3200 or higher.

Happy Moment

As a result of combining the full-frame sensor's unique light-gathering ability and the EXPEED 7 engine,

I was able to express the silhouette of people, shadows, and the background night view in detail.

Happy Time

1/60 – ISO 320 – f/4 – 70mm

Nikon Zf NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S

The fact that I was able to shoot without shaking even without a tripod was thanks to the 5-axis IBIS image stabilization,

and I was able to quickly frame the composition by securing various angles with the tilt-type LCD.

The Nikon Zf is a full-frame mirrorless camera that harmonizes emotion and specifications, photos and videos, design and practicality.

Impressive Look

In particular, I was satisfied with everything from the natural scenery to the urban night view,

and the emotional color expression that I experienced during this summer's photo trip,

and I definitely felt that the depth and color expression unique to full-frame are different.

Gorgeous Scene

If you want to take emotional photos,

If you are a creator who wants to do both vlogs and video content,

If you want both analog design and modern features?

If you are considering recommending a full-frame mirrorless camera,

I hope you meet the Nikon Zf :)

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
