Nikon currently have a $200 eftpos cash back for this camera so essentially $2,161.60 for the camera body for Australian stock. You cannot even get grey import for that.
Also if you can get your hands on discounted JB gift cards then even cheaper.
Get in quick as this deal ends today.

Not sure where you’re getting your information but the low light performance of the Zf is excellent and a step up from the A7iii both in terms of ISO specs and real world testing and reviews.
You do realise that Nikon ZF indeed has the exact same sensor as Sony A7iii which is made by Sony for Nikon (similar to many other Nikon cameras in which sensors made by Sony)?
It also comes down to the processing engine as well. Still a great camera for the price.
Hate this argument as it's not correct. Nikon contracts sony to make the sensor which is a 24.5mp sensor, whereas the a7III has a 24.2mp - clearly different.
Yes sony makes sensors for Nikon which captures light and converts it to bit/data signal. However it's Nikon image science of 107 years that manipulates the raw data to what creates the image.
Nikon's Xpeed processor gives us the noise handling, colour and signal ratio which impacts the final image heavily. Also you've disregarded the physical impact of the Z mount, which is the largest mount for MILC Full frame.
Same argument as (but samsung makes chips for apple)…. Components used/manufacture =/= final product/result.

TIL we've had digital camera for 107 years… and Raw files too, and image processors.
@dukeGR4: Understand 107 year a stretch in terms of digital processing - but they have the expertise in terms of image reproduction from microscope, film, and medical imaging was my reference.
same sensor, different image processor. latter makes a huge difference also.
@dukeGR4: And funny underlying assumption that 'sony can't make great image processors as Nikon does'. Well, it'll be stupid if they could make fantastic sensors, and couldn't make great processors to go with them. I'm still standing my ground with the fact that it is a Sony sensor (and exact sensor that A7iii uses) and Sony knows best what to do with their hardware not Nikon. I'm not suggesting Nikon processing is bad by any means. I'm only pointing out the stupidity of the silly argument that 'nikon processing is better than Sony for Sony's own sensor'.
@npnp: Sony fanboys not getting pressed over something extremely minor challenge impossible… lol

have a look at the comparison: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen…
Sony A7iii demonstrates noticeably more colour smearing @ 6EV than the Zf. Have a look at the Black and Asian models especially, their skin colours are inaccurate and plainly wrong, and this is true even @ 0 EV so i'd say A7iii has terrible colour accuracy too compared to Zf. And heck even A7iv has more noise than Nikon Zf, but it no longer has the terrible A7iii's colour accuracy.

it is better in this comparison at least. Better colour accuracy, better low light performance.
Z6, Z6ii both has same sensor as ZF (which is in fact same sensor in A7iii). Check low light ISO performance of these three cameras (Z6, Z6ii vs A7iii) and you can see A7iii excels in low light (DXO mark hasn't tested ZF yet but judging by Z6 vs Z6ii, I won't expect a massive jump in ISO performance in ZF). Again, ZF is a great camera and definitely good in low light in many ways, it's just not better than A7iii that's all I'm saying. I know this won't be a popular opinion but you can't hide from facts whether you like them or not.
Nikon ZF is definitely faster and probably more user-friendly (better AF etc). I was only referring to low light ISO performance. Refer to my original comment for context.

There's a huge difference between Z6, Z6ii and Zf on Dpreview's image comparison tool. From what i'm seeing on my screen Zf is a lot better than Z6iii in both colour accuracy and detail.
Z6iii retains more detail than Z6ii, but has this weird green cast.
if bodies within the same brand with the same hardware perform so differently (due to different image processing unit), would it surprise you that Zf could in fact surpass the A7iii (which it does)?
Z6 and Z6ii had the Expeed 6 processors and ZF has the much improved Expeed 7 - major difference in performance.
Also don't rely on DXOmark, they've been proven to have bias and getting paid off.
Newer tech generally will be better than older tech. 5 years difference.
