The Nikon Zf is a great idea. Canon and Sony don't do retro, and Fujifilm doesn't do FF. Nikon has that niche all to their own.

I love my OM-1 like no other camera I owned before. No camera is so packed with great features. I hope OM-System has still great ideas to enjoy not only their current fan base in future.

great video i wish you both merry christmas and a happy new year

Totally agree with Chelsea,Nikon should introduce a range of retro lenses with aperture rings for the Zf

Merry Christmas Northrups!

Thanks for all your videos 📸 greetings from Germany

I was considering upgrading from my Z6 to the Zf, but due to a disability on my right hand that is not possible (specially since I use long lenses time to time and I need a DSLR type grip so I can properly hold the camera). So really looking forwards to the Z6iii since the good old Z6 is sometimes frustrating to use.

Tony, I really enjoyed your video about NAS for home data storage. Would you follow up with a Setting up a NAS for beginners video? Have a wonderful holiday. Thanks to you both.

My old 2002 Canon Powershot G3 had custom timer sounds that was great for getting the subjects attention just before it took the picture. I do miss that feature and it existed 20 years ago. Why did they remove that?

The Nikon Z6iii coming out in 2024 will be hugely popular with much better AF tracking (like Z8, ZF) and speed, and a great hybrid photo and video camera at a great price, loads of improved features, more fps, maybe 20 to 30fps, 6K down-sampled to 4K with up to 120frame rate in video and more affordable than the Z8 for a large majority of photographers who like Nikon or new people coming to Nikon. Any of the issues of past Nikon's will be addressed and resolved in the Z6iii. Nikon will keep putting out new lenses.

The Olan Mills filter. GOLD.

Nice to see you back.... Everything is going to be right....

thanks for 4/3 enthusiasm !!

Do you think they will Canon put interchangeable FE and RF mount like the R 5 II and the R1 camera also ?

Globell Shudder… that was funny! 😆

Chelsea's custom camera ideas are THE BEST! :D

Is there a new Fuji lens roadmap? I couldn’t find it

Any predictions from the 3rd party lens companies in 2024? Hopes and dreams for them?

le A1 mark II ?

Great video! I think Chelsea should be a consultant for the camera companies.

Why are sensors rectangular? Why does one side have to be shorter? Is there a reason why the sensors are not square?

"You'd be sellin baby, You'd be sellin!" Thanks for that You Two have always been the best photo/video pair and love your content. Thanks for what you've for us the consumer in 2023. Cheers to 2024!

I have a Lumix 100-400mm lens, which is amazing and I love using. What I'd love is a compact Lumix camera (like GX8) with good enough autofocus to do bird in flight photography. Like the Z9 autofocus, but in a little camera.

Chelsea's, "This person's not F'ing around" deserved a way bigger reaction 😂😂😂

Re: the ZF - I preordered mine in red and received it about 2 months ago and I really like it (although the overall mirrorless experience just feels like too much menu-searching and programming and not enough actual shooting), but I just wanna say that you should absolutely have the SmallRig grip from day 1, because it provides a much-needed grip, but also the arca swiss compatibility and the tactility of the metal on the bottom of the camera that matches the metal on top.

Love from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada! Thank you for a great video! Started watching on our TV and ended it watching on desktop. I think Pentax will have K-1 iii and Film camera by the end of 2024.

I would like Fujifilm to come up with a simulation/option for accurate colors, like Hasselblad has done with HNCS. Please Fuji!!!

Thanks for mentioning the replacement for the 5DR and 5DRS I have been waiting for the replacement before I migrate to the R system. I currently have a 5DS and 5DSR. I bought the 5DSR Canon refurb this year. Looking at the Fuji GFX and Sony 61mp sensor cameras. I've been loyal to Canon since the Digital Rebel. I feel Canon is ignoring this market.

What is your prediction for the Sony A7 V? Will it be out this year or next?

Nikon need a mirrorless D500 replacement...with a built in grip or an optional one. Maybe 33mp and 30fps? With the Z8 or Z9 type af for wildlife!.

Since everyone is hovering around 40-60mp now I'd like to see camera makers switch gears and work on the dynamic range and the color array in their sensors. In fact I want to see a sensor where there is the option of using a slider in the camera menu to adjust the weight of microcontrast vs sharpness.

So much fun gleaning the pro insights on our 2024 wish list.. I sold all my Fuji gear till I move overseas.. looking hard at the Nikon Zf but also not discounting buying back into Fuji. Thanks Northrups !

I'm hoping for a Sony A1 ii to maybe bring down the prices of the A1. I'd love to upgrade my A7R IVa to an A1.

Same vein as shutter sound, strobe recharge beeps could be pleasant little chimes

Have any rumblings come out regarding a Sony medium format camera?

Fuji already has filters. On the x100v press the drive button and go down to advanced filters

Love your ideas Chelsea! Why don’t we have this yet? 😂

I can't adjust the audio volume to hear Tony without it sounding like Chelsea is shouting. Do you monitor audio levels?

What about 7v and a1ii?

What about Leica??? Any predictions for 2024?

Will a z6 III be able to match the Z8 AF system without a stacked sensor? I assume that a potential z6/7 III will be with a "regular" sensor

I have 2 D750, should I upgrade to D780 and wait 2025 for the price go down for Z8?

Why 61mp better than 33mp for real world viewing or normal prints? (16x20). Other than cropping what is the value of 61mp? Serious question. Thank you.

My advice for camera companies is to put software hdr optimization in ur cameras... Then it will be very difficult to beat by smartphones.... Dedicated Cameras are still in demand, even I bought nikon zf and two dx lenses and I use s22 ultra.... Dedicated camera still has that feel which smartphones can't replicate

great video as always and u both so funny i use nijon z7 since before covid and om1 for wildlife been suggest as looking upgrade keep my nikon swap om1 for canon r7 and if rumoured r5ii released watched videos online could have 61mp sensor what opinion on rf 28-70 f2 lens looks monster

You guys are hilarious. Fart shutter 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Merry Christmas x 👍

If canon comes out with an R2, it should be closely followed by the release of the R3PO.

LMAO "If you haven't noticed, the whole world is sort of set up on people looking cool", such a comment. Love it! Great video, folks.

GREAT idears❤❤❤

Chelsea, you are hilarious and brilliant! Thank you for your fun and clever ideas! 😀

Whether or not retro is key… what I’d love is the manual dials on a sony camera without the MASP structure…

Yes! Freaking Brilliant. Love the ideas at the end. Creativity and capturing the young photographers hearts and minds. What about customizable menu skins! Personalize look and feel.

I love you, Chelsea!!!

23:50 A 100 megapixel fullframe camera will run into diffraction from f/5.6 onwards. In fact a 50MP camera already is in diffraction territory at f/8. So I'm not sure how useful this is. But then, marketing doesn't usually concern itself with whether something is useful.

Love my Pentax behave!

Thankyou ❤❤❤

Do you think we will get an ultrawide prime like a 14 f1.8 for Canon, either RF or third party? The best astro lens for Canon is still the Sigma 14mm for the EF mount

I hope you two live happily ever after. You both are so entertaining and informative.

Nikon should come up with APSC cameras with IBIS in them. That'd be great. 👍

informative content.

I would wish for Sony as a company to give firmware updates to 2 and 3 year old cameras , I'm sure they could make focus bracketing available on say the A7r4 not everyone can afford to update 4 grand for a camera every few years , and how about tweaking the autofocus to support bird eye and bird autofocus to keep customers from jumping ship to more affordable fast flagship cameras from other brands ..

My dream feature (for now) is face/eye detection for people and animals in manual. I know one manufacturer has something like this now. Why can’t a camera tell me when something is in focus without a punch-in or focus peaking function? I agree on nearly all of their future camera dreams. Keep up the great work!

You guys didn't mention the G100D, and possible smaller m43 cameras. Panasonic would be mad not to imo.

Start watching the captions at 3:28. Ťrust me.

The 6700 needs to come down to the 1000 price point… I want one but do I want an A7C II or an A6700 because I want/need both but the price point is such that it basically would make more sense for me to buy an A7CR instead, because for the price, you’re getting an amazing APS-C and Full frame body…

Olympus needs another lens in the lineup; 12-75mm f/2.8 with IS, which would be a 24-150mm equivalent. They've got a 12-100mm F/4, i'm sure they can shrink that down and bring out something with an extra stop with a 'decent' all purpose lens. Something like this would blow APS-C right out of the water and render it useless; more or less the same noise levels at a much smaller size and better bokeh (would finally be put to rest). DO IT OLYMPUS.

My dream feature: ND filters on compact cameras - like Sony did on RX100 iii way back in 2014. And I'm still praying for a really hi-res AMOLED screen to be on Mirrorless cameras. That way we probably won't need a view finder, thus making the cameras small enough to be practically pocketable.

OM System pushes their lineup as a wildlife option and more power to them if that works. But I just like the OM-1 for the same reason I liked previous OM-Ds under Olympus: full-featured, compact, rugged, general purpose camera. Other manufacturers offer some of that but I am willing to trade some AF and IQ performance for the extra rugged/compactness. One sad aspect that is an industry wide phenomenon is the disappearance of tiny mirrorless cameras. I loved the GM1/GM5 (Panasonic Lumix) and I still use them. I would most definitely welcome a 2024 version. Obviously, these cameras are tiny because they sacrifice some key features (weather-sealing, IBIS, battery life) but as long as I get PDAF, 25MP and subject detection, things that don't take any physical space, I'm good. I look forward to the Z6III/Z7III. I don't care about the ZF. Tony is wrong about Canon, they do have 24mm and 35mm, they are just not "Pro level". But those non-Pro primes are great since they are cheap and are pseudo macro lenses. 2 lenses in 1!

MFT should focus on Pocket friendly, carry everywhere. (in pants pocket) Maybe Panasonic MFT sensors can compete against the 1in sensor P&S like the Sony ZV-1 or Sony RX100 line. Like a new Panasonic LX100. Or even a Sony ZV-E10 style, but even smaller body, with a MFT sensor.

I think all that R1 postponing is due to development of new processor nothing changed the game for canon like the digic X and I think they are trying to create a replacement for it even if r1 will not be the best it will open new doors for canon with better processor.

I just want a Nikon Z70 / Z80 / Z90. Not buying anything for my Z50 untill that happens - if it does not, I’ll switch to Fuji.

I am missing a sony rx 10 mark v. Or any other brand with a up to date brodge camera.

How about Sony addressing battery life and overheating of it's compact cameras?

really funny, I haven't heard anything about some of the new Canon lenses using lens correction to crop in on wide angle where the lens doesn't fill the whole sensor, 10-20f4, 24-105f2.8

I still wish we could use Bluetooth to connect to wireless headphones for monitoring audio. Or at least connect via whatever app the manufacturer has so you can use the phone to change settings while monitoring audio. Tired of getting up from my desk to preview scratch footage to dial in my settings

My Nikon ZF with the grand adapter is definitely a deadly weapon

I want a D500, mirrorless replacement like an APS-C Z8 or Z9... 🤩

what is the camera you're using right now for this video?

I want to see Panasonic GX9ii. GX9ii is great, but it's not compact. Definitely more geared to professional use. GX9II should be perfect for street photography and travel.

I so want to be their personal bartender for these yearly videos.

In 35 minutes (minus the ads) of gear, gear,gear, you very briefly touched on the biggest deficit of these companies: software. To start, the menu systems on most cameras are a mess and need many more customization options. Beyond that, my camera should be able to connect to GPS and automatically geotag my photos built-in. A cell connection would be nice but at a minimum they need to develop more reliable phone apps. The custom shutter sound idea would be terrible considering how people would use it.

Talking about Nikon compact cameras, here's to hoping that Nikon can consider bringing back the style of the Nikon S3 (rangefinder style) and the Nikon 35/28 Ti (high-end point & shoot).

Alright it's the place to make a wish. Panasonic: - SX line. Compact FF cameras, just like GX line but with FF. So many competition in FF world while compact FF segment completely empty. - GX line successor with weather sealing and G9II sensor plus 4k60p without crop. Just take my money. A perfect travel and EDC camera. But make also 20mm with weather sealing, it would be also a perfect street machine Fujifilm: - GFX 50SIII with phase detect and 4k video - X-E5 backs to roots, return buttons and toggles, adds weather sealing and ibis

Tony and Chelsea, I am a huge fan. Ironically I am the SECOND OWNER of your DJI Inspire 2……. Small world. Curious, did you use it much? Cheers

What about Nikon Z90?

Subject idea: How do a pair of cameras compliment each other? So like many serious weekend photographers or maybe pros we/you are covering a range of capability for fun or work. Which pair of cameras keeps you light and capable in producing fun or professional content with ease and quality? Big question yes, but in the end, we all want to have fun. You know many of us will get two camera bodies, share your ideas. Consider getting up and going to location and back to uploading a fun video with photos or slide show.

Ok, so ya have to luv them. I also like the bartender comment. Good job folks. Merry Christmas.

i really hope a similar camera to s5iix but higer resolution 45 with stacked sensor priced at 3000-3500

what about Sony A1 II any possibility

add to wish list - digital neutral density filters.

My prediction for 2024 is, a certain group of photography enthusiasts, trying to justify the high cost of a flagship camera phone, will go back to using the mirroless or DSLR they probably already have for better quality, tactile buttons, more versatility and just buy a regular phone for much less and only use it for photography if they've been caught without thier 'proper' camera. I'm a bit late to the party, but I've discovered the sweet spot between lugging around a hefty DSLR and succumbing to a flagship phone at high cost. That is, micro four thirds! I would personally love to see a big resurrection in this segment.

If Sony were to make a retro camera, they should name it Minolta ;-)

Every Year is the Year of Nikon , just like 2023 was

Don’t agree that OM Digital Solutions keeps putting out the same camera over and over again but at the same time I’d like to see a better m43 sensor. They’ve done a great job at AF subject tracking, making small ICL bodies, and makes long reach lenses due to the 2x crop. There’s a lot to like about the system.

The ZF can be purchased from Japan. I see no shortage there.

Custom shutter sounds is a genius idea

I love the idea of an, A la carte, build your own camera.

You missed the most important kens that IS COMING to canon (the patent has been filled though), the Canon 70-150 F2....

Be nice if Fujifilm came out with an X100 with a 24-125 zoom lens. I think that would be a hit seller. I know I’d buy one.
