Every Flaw of Nikon Z30 Before You Buy

Nikon Z30 is a surprisingly good camera for youtube creators, vloggers and hobos. It doesn't have fancy specs, but it makes up for that with natural colour science, amazing face auto exposure, and heart. Having said that, I found all the flaws of this camera. Know these before buying.

Hey Kasey, on my Z8 i've tried every single profile with all different settings for my pro Videography besides my Photography and i PROMISE you these are the best settings for image quality on Nikon, hope you try those once more, you will be blown away i'm sure: - Metering/ exposure menue Finetune optimal exposure: Matrix metering -1/6 - Noise Reduction OFF - Standard profile (Nikon chooses best skin tones and general colors there) - Sharpness -0.5 - Midrange sharpness +2.0 (If you lower it you get that weird water color effect) - Clarity -1.0 - Contrast -0.75 I promise you i've tried everything, including NLog with a Lut and still this is the most natural fantastic image that Nikon provides. I mean well, hope you try it again . All the best :)

The negatives are annoying, I'll give ya that. Limited button mapping. Doesn't allow setting changes on-the-fly. No manual focus switch on the body. Deep menu dive needed to get 1080 180 set up. That's a few strikes that can't be ignored. I think the right thing is to get one used like CC did. I do love me some Nikon colors for sure. They're so rich and accurate to my eyes.

They are improving, but I still ran into issues mapping buttons with the Z8 and ZF. If the user modes saved ALL settings, that would really help. Or if they had recall settings (Z8/Z9.)

Also i gotta say if we compare this nikon z30 woth the cameras its teying to compete with theb even having all these buttons including some customisable ones is beyond what you'd get in the competition and for me as one of the nikon users from before the mirrorless era i gotta say i feel like i cam change settings on a nikon much easier that a sony for example but that might just be being used to setting buttons to exactly what you need and being used to their setting systems. And then getting a camera woth a great kit lens, all the F mount lenses available to use on it, anodised aluminium body and weather sealed, that is such a plus

I have a Nikon D600 with F mount which is presently for taking occasional images (work). The video output for this camera from 2012 has good color, DR and looks great, especially with vintage lenses. There is an issue with moire under certain conditions that can rear it's head but the majority of time taking video there were no issues. It doesn't shoot 4k so will keep to the GH5 but in comparing the two, there is a certain richness to the Nikon image that makes it still viable considering it's age. Even have the first Atomos Ninja that I bought for it. Probably should shake off the dust and play with it again. Full HD isn't a breathless corpse yet.

@@miggyloz806 A7CII, 33mp, better IBIS, smaller, better battery life, more compact f2.8 zoom lenses. Sony still has better tracking and AF-C. Nikon is quite usable, but not as intuitive to use. I still own z-mount glass just in case Nikon's next release (DX of FX) is a bit more exciting. A7CII is a worthwhile upgrade from the A7C IMO. The shutter button is nicer, lots of little fixes, the rear dial, and LCD touch AF point; which I don't use. Not to mention shooting HEIF HLG for neutral colors. I still prefer Nikon fit/ergonomics and z-mount glass when they match your needs. However, surprisingly the R8 was more comfortable than either of them.

Just live with the Nikon system for a while. You'll see they are grounded in designs and feature-sets for creators not marketers. The menu system will make sense, the ergo's of everything, including the lens mount direction-- all start making sense when you actually use the gear in real world scenarios for a period of time. You missed some easy menu items that would address your "cons," but such is life when you have a lot of content to produce. Great job as always Homie! I've been shooting Nikon for a long time, and while they may not be flashy, they can be depended on to create some world class images when used properly, and are a joy to use day in and day out professionally.

I was wondering what you would think of the latest Nikon series.. (Z30 isn't really the latest). some of your issues that you mention you can change in settings, though I may confusing my D700. (release modes when AF is not fully locked). for video on the Z30 I like it when I have it set for exposing for highlights(keeping Auto ISO from clipping highlights). I really like how z30 works with manual focus lenses like Lensbabay Twist 60. I'm thinking of getting a used Z6 for now and demote my full frame D700 to second tier. though I could save a bit and get a ZF. anyway agree with mediocre stab. I'm thinking of a $300 gimbal to handle.

for the video world the zf added some quality of life things. but its still not ready for prime time. the wave for just has 3 bars not 10% increments like a normal waveform. and most have said the lack of customization of buttons is a lil frustrating. and while its has up to 120 fps, it would be nice to have a camera crank setting like the gh series, where you can shoot from 2fps to 120+ . maybe they will get there, then ill go all in on nikon bodies again. but till then not yet.

You need an S series Nikon lens like the 14-30mm. The S series lenses have significantly superior stabilization.

WELL THEN. Clearly my research was flawed. Son of a b. My apologies. I guess you could theoretically go with an F mount lens adapted. A lot of f mount lenses have great stabilization with the best being the lenses that have the gold ring and gold "N" designation. I know it might not work for you because it would add some extra weight, but from my experience, the 16-80mm f2.8-4E (480grams lens + 125grams FTZ2) lens has the most outrageous stabilization out of any nikon lens I've used (I also confirmed on nikon's website that VR does carry over to Z bodies from adapted lenses). Optically, the lens is fantastic as well. You can get them on the used market for around $500-$700 too. There may be other options available that are lighter too.
