Thank you so much!!

@@chernofuta yes

It’s a good camera. I didn’t really have any issues outside of the 4k/60 crop. Everything else is pretty standard. It’s nice to have the same sensor as the z8. But I think if you’re happy with what you have no need to switch.

@@BrittneyJanae I am definitely happy with my MFT, I shoot an Olympus E-M1X that does the trick. My thing is that some clients(the ones that understand photography) like the FF sensor more. They want that extreme subject separation and all that. I started on Nikon, so Nikon is where I will go back to. And I definitely get the 4k/60. If I shot video I would feel the same. I'll keep my em1x for everything else besides portrait clients. Plus it shoots 4k and has computational qualities and extreme weather sealing.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!! It’s a good camera if you’re okay with not having 4k/60 no crop

Nikon is so different where they don’t let anyone have the camera unless a rep is there which is weird because we don’t get to really dive in. But it’s very similar to the Sony a7cii. Crazy is the rep didn’t even know it was 4k crop till I pointed it out trying to shoot slow motion lol. But yea hope it helped

@@BrittneyJanae Nikon needs to make sure the folks they send out are well versed with the product, this way when they provide it, they can explain the tech and features, that way each creator can test the features and provide a well balanced preview.

Precisely why I preorded. Feels like it's going to be my last camera purchase in a long time

I feel like I would like to talk to you on this topic, since I am trying to make up my mind and you seem so certain. I could really use your input. For example, what is the handicap? The EVF resolution?

@@spanishmackerel It's about the overall feeling. If you buy an a7cr, you will keep dreaming about the a7r5 because of certain "handicaps" like the EVF and dual-card slots. The video capabilities are software limited although it has similar hardware just so that there's a reason for you to buy the "pro" camera. And let's face it, although it can certainly do pro work, the a7c line is not marketed as such. It's more like the ultimate, absolute best point and shoot camera. Yes, I think the a7cr is better than the Leica Q3. If you get the Nikon Zf though, there's nothing quite like it, so if you love it (some don't), then there's nothing else out there for you. It's already the "pro" version in its class. There's also dual-card slots so you can do pro work with it worry free. It's packed with features and for the price, it's kind of crazy. Only downside is that they packed the Zf with the old 25mp sensor instead of the newer 46mp one. My guess is that will come with the Zf ii. On the A7C, the ergo was super clunky, I was finding myself constantly going to P mode because I didn't want to deal with the Exposure triangle with the A7C poor control scheme. On the Nikon Zf, it's not perfect and sometimes clunky as well, but it does inspire me to dial in my settings manually. I do get jealous of the A7CR insane resolution though and Sony's AF is better than Nikon's, but for what it's worth, I took more pictures with one month of the Zf than in one year with the A7C already. I do miss the A7C's compact and lightweight nature though, the Zf is much heavier and the size is closer to the a7r5 so it's all a matter of tradeoffs. Hope that helps

@@city.hermit It does help, thanks. I think the points you mentioned may not apply to me, but there's only way to find out. Don't care about dual slots as I'm not a pro. Do care about size and weight. My old film cams and DSLRs all feel ridiculously large to me now, compared to the various Fuji APS-C cams I've been using for 10 years. I don't use AF. I need at least a minimally decent grip. I don't see how hard the triangle could be for me, because I shoot like this: manual focus vintage lens, A priority. The exp comp wheel then becomes the shutter speed, and that's all I have to do: manually focus, set the A on the lens and turn the wheel until the look and the histo look good. Then click. My attraction to the Df would be a 40-year familiarity with their film and digital cams, and their colors. My attraction to the CR would be small form factor and high res. Any further thoughts, based on my usecase and your experience? I'd like the "5" for the EVF, but that's it. It seems big and heavy compared to the CR.

@@spanishmackerel The EVF although better than the A7C is the only thing that might be an issue for you then with manual lenses. I think the A7CR would be better then for size in your usecase if you can deal with that viewfinder. You should go try it out

Thank you!! I work with them all lol. At least that’s the goal! To be unbias lol although I own a Sony haha!

Nice!! It’s a fun cam!

Yea you have to read the fine print for the 4k/60 crop

Okayyyyyy

Yesss! I do this with my fuji. It’s def a cheat code

Thank you!!

Yea it still lets you control to an extent which is good!

64,000 is for photo 51,000 is for video

And I LOVE THAT!! Even something as small as waveform really grabbed my attention! Lol

That’s a good one too!! The z8 kinda gives you everything without needing to upgrade. 8k, etc. but if you don’t need all the the z6iii is a great camera!

No problem!

Yessss!! It is. I didn’t have an issue with it with grading. Nikons colors has always been my fav. Sony shifts towards green, canon magenta and Nikon is perfectly in the middle. 14.5 stops of dynamic range. Iso up to 51,200

@@BrittneyJanae really 14.5 stop? Wow amazing. How about the base iso for N-log?

I haven’t! I only have the zf for a day!

@@BrittneyJanae do you know of they have dual native iso in Nlog?

I feel that!

Thank you! Honestly I’m not a heavy text user but I love Gibson!! I love bold fun fonts! So Gibson paired with Helvetica or Didot which I love as well. Bebas Neue is good too

No grip

This is great! Thank you!

I don’t. I used filmconvert.

So for me that day was the only time I got to use the camera so I couldn’t go all in like I would have loved to do. It was moreso me using it in a real life situation. But that’s really cool to know!

The zf autococus was really good. I didn’t have my Sony with me to compare but they have very similar autofocus systems.

@@BrittneyJanae Thank you! , A Zf just popped at a store near by as a 2nd hand with 61 clicks !! 15% less than retail going to check it out tomorrow , and decide .

Lol do you have an ecosystem you’re already in? Does that really matter to you?

@@BrittneyJanae no, this would be my first full frame mirrorless. I used to shoot Nikon DSLR’s back in the day, but because of lenses selection and just general performance I was going to go with Sony. Honestly though, I’m really proud of Nikon for basically coming back from irrelevance and the brink of bankruptcy the last few years and becoming relevant again. I almost want to support them just for that reason. Sony has enough business these days. Still haven’t decided though.

I’m exactly on the same boat 😂

@@-AtomsPhere- You know Nikon forms part of the biggest keretsu in Japan, the mitsubishi group of companies. After all this talk online by non expert, Nikon had one year in the black, you know many multi international company gets into bankruptcy after only one year without being in profit!!! Which was also because they were reorganizing themselves completely.

I used the @polarpro ND filter 2-5 stops

@@BrittneyJanae Why do you use it in a studio? Is there a specific reason?

Haha nice!!

I shoot only video so the viewfinder isn’t that important to me. But if you do mostly video I def understand that

It’s 5 axis ibis so it allows you to stop down 8 stops slower to get non shaky footage which helps more for low light long exposure type of content.

@@BrittneyJanae thanks but how to open 8 stop ibis ? Becz it’s default 5 stop right We need any vr lens for that ?

I am confused to active the 8 ibis do we need separate lenses or it will activate just like 5ibis

8 stops is for photo, it’s 5 for video however, it works quite well in video. It’s similar to Active stabilization in Sony but, not as good as Dynamic Active stabilization introduced in the Z -E1. I had the A7R V which had an improvement over FX30’s Active stabilization, paired with the 24-105 OSS lens it provided stable footage. Running the footage from that combo through Catalyst Browse, ended up with some gimbal like results, with even more crop to the footage. I ended up trading the A7R V for the Z8 as I loved all the extra video codecs in that camera and they seemed quite similar in stabilization.

@@waynerm002 so answer is 8 stop for just a photos for low light or long exposure type shoot right

Lol I don’t agree at all with this

When you will have a bad back after decades of photography, you might be happy to not have to crawl. My z9 screen doesn't rotate more than 30-40% for top down shots, so I really like the versatility of full articulating screen even in photos. And I am with Brittney, the zcameras and i think a lot of other hybrids can fulfill a lot of those jobs. The average hybrid camera we have nowadays is much superior than 99% of video cameras we had 5-10 years ago and with my Nikon I can do both with a switch of a button.

Yea I hate cameras that have 4k/60 crop lol

I own the z 8!

I did lol.

@@BrittneyJanae It's in japanese and still more useful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbKSpMSiy6_Mmn0.html

From my knowledge it's not a black and white jpg switch at least for video You can shoot black and white in HLG and SDR. I don't know much about the photo side because I'm a filmmaker and that's what I was testing it for.

In photo which is the primary use of this camera, you still retain the raw and Fuji got all the praise in the world for its film emulation jpeg. So I don't feel anything bad about this. You just have to choose what you want.

Same! I said the same thing when I shot on the Sony a7cii! I hate it doesn’t matter the camera just not ideal!

@@BrittneyJanae one advantage with Sony a7cii is 33MP.

Canon r6ii only have 4k 60 FPS full frame** in a same budget

Does nikon have anything like catalyst ? To use gyro data and stabilize further?

@@rafiqbhanjifilm if it's not crop thats good

I don’t have the z6ii but if @nikon sends it to me I can lol
