27:58 that Z7 III Jordan describes is exactly what I need: - compact lightweight body - high res sensor - higher sync speed for indoor and outdoor commercial shootings. I don't want that big Z8 body. I don't need great video capabilities. I don't need 120 fps burst rates.

The reason I won't buy a Z8, but would buy a Z7III, is the size and weight of the Z8, It's enormous and for landscape use, it's simply too big and heavy to walk about with. It's bigger than the GFX I just sold because it was too big!

@doogieham Ай бұрын

Totally agree! I prefer the body size of the Z6Iii but I like the three-way screen of the Z8. My specs wish list for the Z7iii is close to Jordan’s. I think there is actually a larger market for this kind of camera than Chris et al. suggest.

A Z6III body with a Sony 60Mpix sensor (semi-stacked ideally) in it sounds a great Z7III to me. Super high definition and compact body would make it the ideal companion for many. Cause if the Z8 is a great tool, it's still pretty bulky and heavy... Where it makes sense for sport and wildlife, it doesn't for street shooters and landscapers alike

@davidgfisher Ай бұрын

Nikon has never used Sony sensors. It designs it's own sensors, which are manufactured by a division of Sony. That's why no Sony camera has a sensor like the D850, Z6, Z7, Z8/9, or Z6III.

The R7 isn't a bad camera, but having used a 7D and 7D mark 2, the body is just so plasticky and minimal on the R7. No top screen, way fewer buttons. Feels like a Rebel dslr more than a real successor to the 7D series or nikon d500 level crop cameras.

@oversharingturtle4462 Ай бұрын

Yeah, honestly apart from autofocus I do feel like the advantages of the r7 are sorta overblown considering it is the 90d sensor in a newer body. However for wildlife I do understand the mirrorless preference

@BlendyStick Ай бұрын

Fewer buttons perhaps, but the level of customization on the buttons is fantastic. No top screen is disappointing, I agree, but that's the market as a whole at the moment. As for the feel of it, I think the weight throws off a lot of experienced DSLR uses who are more used to a professional camera being a lot heavier. Compared to lower grade models within the R lineup though, the R7 feels quite sturdy and rugged.

@jtes1442 Ай бұрын

No one should admit to drinking Coors Light or Budweiser. I’d pay $3300 for a Z7III with 60 MP and a three-way axis screen. The Z8 is too bulky for me, and a Z7III the same size as the Z6III would suit me perfectly.

I looooved the Z50 for many years with the (better than expected) 16-50 kit lens, until I bought a Z5. The camera I really, really want is a Z5II with Expeed 7 and new AF system, basically a Zf in a Z5 body.

If nothing else it's been crazy useful for testing lenses on the spot to make sure they're not crazy out of tune. Dial in the exposure, swing it all the way to wide open, fast shutter, take a picture. Swing it over to long shutter, small aperture, take another picture. Maybe another in between? five minutes later I know if the lens is good mechanically.

One Source known as E8M_8888 which is probably 80-90% times correct, says that Z7iii could feature a 90MP Sensor and as you guys said Nikon don't just wanna sell ok but they want to sell good and the surprises they are giving from time to time, its possible that this rumor is true and surprisingly no other people have picked on it yet. Everybody is speculating and you can also see the no. 7 in the intro of Nikon Z6iii where they were showing Z9,8 and 6 but you will notice a 7 in between for a short period.

My pipe dream is a super high res Z7III like that, but with a 28x40 sensor. The smidge of extra size would probably fit within the image circle of their current lenses, and let a very high resolution sensor like that retain similar dynamic range to the 60MP cameras currently on the market.

Hi PetaPixel, thank you for the podcast. Much appreciated for the information and entertainment. Not sure where to send my questions. These questions are probably for Chris since A7RV is Chris' favorite camera based on my understanding... Q1. How do you switch the tracking focus between different subjects in a wide or zone focus area? My current solution is to switch the focus area to "tracking spot focus area" and use the joystick when using the view finder or use the touchscreen on LCD panel, but i still prefer to press a button to toggle between different subject i want to focus on in a wide or zone focus area mode... Q2. Does using (S)mall lossless compressed file (18megapixel) give you better low light capability than (L)arge or (M)edium file? Thanks in advance. Look forward to your answers.

1:07:17 the a9iii is probably the camera Anthony would want to upgrade to if he can afford it. Would eliminate the banding issue and is essentially on par in dynamic range at the high iso settings he'd be using on his current camera.

I completely 'ditto' Jordan on the Z7iii. I had the 7ii and tried the Z8 and didn't care for it. More gizmos than I needed and too big and heavy for the kind of work I do. I ended up getting the Leica SL3 (lighter than Z8) and love the 60mp and a couple of lenses. However, if they come out with a 47MP Z7iii (don't need 60MP but that would be nice), and keep the same size of the Z6iii, same two way tilt and good AF, I'd seriously consider grabbing one again and put some extra money in my pocket. I can't see them having one before 2026 though.

1:06:20 My tip would be to crank ISO and shoot B&W - at least some of the time. B&W is much more forgiving than colour for noise, as ugly chroma noise ceases to be a factor. Also helps mitigate the effects of mixed colours of lighting. Obvs not always the best, as you may want to capture the colours of outfits etc, but a mixture of B&W high SS/ISO shots to freeze action, with some lower SS/ISO colour shots to capture colour and atmosphere, could be a good shout.

I think a Z7iii with the higher resolution EVF, no stacked sensor (same sensor as Z7ii is fine), and Expeed 7 processor for more modern autofocus would be fine. They probably wouldn’t need to update after that. It can be marketed as a lighter camera for people who hike and do landscape photography, but who want the higher megapixels. It would work better than the Z7ii for occasional wildlife, and as a backup body to the Z8.

In terms of dancing photography: Which kind of dance? To me, it sounds more like an argentine tango salon than like a lindy hop or typical social dance venue. If it's the first, dim lights are a must and bright lights a no-go. And it very much depends on how close you can get to the dancers, are you going for full body or faces - it's one of those question too much variables remain unknown and therefore the answer will also come out blurry. But I've only 20 years of experience in this situations, so what do I know 🤔? Generally speaking: the less you disturb the dancers and the more you share your pictures, the easier you get better ones.

I don't believe a Z7 iii is coming until they have something to differentiate, all the reasons in the video. I love they take into account that it's an opportunity cost in terms of production lines and R&D. They should wait for the next high-resolution sensor, then it could make sense for landscapes. In the USA is even more radical, because a new Z8 is running about $3500, not 4K. Where are they going to squeeze the Z7 iii? On the other hand if Nikon wants to go crazy the diamerter of the Z mount is 55mm exacty the diagonal of a small medium format sensor. That will be a disrupting camera. The problem is AF Nikon needs fast readout to properly AF, so maybe in 3 years.

I've lit wedding parties by putting 4 heads in each corner of a room, up fairly high, then turned them on and off as I move around the room so the flash is behind the people I'm shooting. Given your system and fast lens you shouldn't need too much power so it might not be too disturbing depending on the size of the space.

I can't quite understand what did please Jordan so much in Z6 III so that he could switch. Was it EVF and readout speed? He basically said "add video lenses with focus clutch, open gate, shutter angle, and a bunch of other stuff that Panasonic already had for years or added recently". I also remember how he praised GH7 saying that sensor size matters less than videographer's quality of life featureset such model offers. What does Z6III do SO MUCH better than Lumix lineup (especially since we can be sure that nest FF video-oriented model will get all the novelties from GH7)? Also can you finally make the great APS-C shootout without Z50 II?

As a Z7ii shooter for 4 years, the Z8 is too damm heavy for landscapers. The new Z6iii is now in a bigger heavier body so that is no too. What about AZ7iii in a rangefinder style camera. As a lady who does landscape photography I don't want big and heavy. That is one of the reasons I tend to shoot more primes. I also own the ZF. After 18 months since release there are no stubby S line primes with appature rings. At the moment I am stuck with 2 plastic primes 28 & 40mm. The move to Sony is around the corner. I am sure I am not the only Nikon Z7ii- ZF shooter who feels like this. The other thing that has always got up my nose is there will never be a 70-200 F4. Instead we got a 70-180.

Speaking of a possible Z50 successor, I would be curious if Nikon has any plans to launch a D500 successor (possibly a Z80). The mid/high-end APS-C mirrorless market has basically only been occupied by the EOS R7 in my opinion, since the Fuji bodies aren't as competitive with AF and lenses and the A6700 is more mid-range in terms of features. If an R7 II is coming sometime soon-ish, I think a Z80 of sorts would be a killer deal for sports/wildlife shooters at anywhere around $3000 US (25% less than the Z8), and it would represent the rebirth of the D500/200-500mm combo given the popularity of the Z 180-600mm. I just hope they'd give it something other than that poor old 20.9MP sensor!

But this new chip has been announced as partially stacked technology for the first time, so are Nikon again making their own sensors? Or is it a customised Sony chip? I might have missed this information.

The beer scene in The US is super diverse. We have trash, and we have amazing breweries putting out great beers. I’m on the West Coast and there’s so many good breweries all over. They really can’t exist unless they produce good beers. North America is just really diverse, and has beers for all tastes.

There are so many more craft breweries in the states than in Europe. Not everything here is Bud and Coors. Similarly, everything in EU isn’t Amstel and Heineken.

@flyfelix333 Ай бұрын

@@MiltonGeorges i am pretty sure Europe has way more breweries than the states. Especially countries like Germany, Chech Republik and Austria have a lot. In the end it doesn't matter who wins. Important is, that you like your beer and support smaller breweries, and not the big companies. Cheers.

For Jaron; a very good way to cut down on film costs is with DIY what you can. I shoot bulk (100 foot) rolls of Kentmere 100 and 400 that are available on BHPhoto for around $60 each with a $50 film loader (cheaper ones are definitely available), and last around 16-20 36 exposure rolls per 100 foot bulk roll. You just roll them into plastic reusable cassettes that are also on BH for about a dollar each, and send them to a developer when you're done. Developing black and white at home also isn't expensive, a full suite of Ilford chemicals and a developing tank will run you about $100-150. Since I scan everything, I can easily correct sharpness issues or low contrast of the Kentmere. Hope this encourages you to use the Nikons some more; I have an F and an FTn and they are wonderful cameras, the Leicas of Japan.

Now that Nikon has dropped the 35mm F/1.4 dubbed optimised for video, it's highly likely Nikon is testing the water for users' response to the optimisation and Z6iii combination. It would be interesting to see Nikon not leveraging the video capabilities on the next camera. I believe the next camera will expand on the hybrid frontier and more likely APS-C. I expect to see a lot more video-optimised lenses for Nikon as well. I think @Jordon should try the 35mm f/1.4 on the Z6iii and do a video review. I personally am looking forward to doing video with Nikon. I have the Z6ii and 24-120mm f/4 as my primary video lens. The Z6iii is a good value proposition, and I will most likely get it going forward.

52:27 YES!!! THIS 100% Why am I still stuck to the old and honestly not that inspiring 28/2.0 Sony FE lens? Also, why did Zeiss stop designing 28mm lenses? Aren’t their last released 28’s m-mount and C/Y era distagons? It’s such a shame the Batis line seems dead in its tracks. I love the Zeiss and Sony Zeiss lenses, a 28 distagon is sorely missed next to the 40CF. I know there’s a 25 and yes you can crop, but it doesn’t shoot the same way. Now the 40mm niche has been fulfilled, being on the 28’s! Oh and TS lenses, while you’re at it. I’d love to see what Sony could come up with on that front.

I think a high res Z7III makes senses for those who want high res quality rather than speed, so landscapes and architecture etc. I don't think it is the next camera though, the Z50 needs some love. The Z7III isn't for now.

I am delightfully surprised Pentax 17 is selling so much that resellers are 'selling empty hands'. Still too expensive for my taste. But then again Fujifilm X100VI and Ricoh GRIII are also expensive. Perhaps they found the perfect mixture of social media influencers and the pockets of their followers. Good job.

Ad Pentax 17.. all three remaining operators in Ricoh are working 24/7 :D But this repeats. They are not building on stock before release. They did this last time with K-5 which was very successful camera. All other cameras introduced later had initial problematic rush which leveled after few months. Like when they introduced K1 and it was impossible to get it during first 3-4 months and then they were everywhere. My first K20D was different story. According to camera data my K20D was manufactured TWO MONTHS before that camera was even introduced. But those were old times when Pentax easily sold tons of cameras every year.

A 60mp nikon is what I've been waiting for since I sold my z7ii a couple of years ago. I really hope that nikon make it. Also want it with high dynamic range. Not interested in speed but I want it to have very good auto focus. I was hoping that the z8 would been this, I was disappointed.

I don't want the mechanical shutter, but everything else about that Z7 III would float my boat. I do a lot of low light documentation work. For me, I NEED the high res sensor, I NEED full frame, and I NEED low light capability with modest video capabilities (4K but no recording time limits). The Z6 III image quality does not cut it for me at all. And the Z8 is expensive and has capabilities I don't need and don't want to pay for. I don't need the fast burst rates. I need a Z7 II but with slightly better video capabilities. I love everything about the Zf but the sensor resolution is too low. If the Zf had a higher res sensor, I would be "take my money!!!"

@marklaurendet1861 Ай бұрын

A Z7 III with combination tilt/flip rear screen would be a good idea. Both Sony and Panasonic are using this type of rear screen on limited models as well as Fuji. I also wish OM would make one I would upgrade just for this feature. Tilt screen are better for say close ups of bugs in tight bushy situations for odd angles as well as other types of photography

@SamPho Ай бұрын

For the person shooting dance in a dim room. I do that a lot and also have zero control over lighting, and often have to shoot at f2.8 due to zooming. Crank that ISO up, honestly 3200 or 4000 is okay, at least for me. The second thing is Adobe's AI De-noise. It works wonders and it really makes that high ISO noise basically go away. And like the guys said, burst a lot, shoot in RAW obviously. You will still have a lot of blurry shots to throw away but you'll also end up with a lot more keepers possibly if you use Adobe's AI de-noise.

I like the idea of a 60MP Z7 III (like the Leica SL3) with a Fuji-like tilt screen in a Z6 III body. I would buy it (and it would bring me back to Nikon) for $3300 and it is a lot less than the SL3. Thanks Jordan!! FYI - I also like the flippy screen as it allows one to protect the screen while shooting - both have their positives...

The Z9 II should have internal ND-filters. It can probably only be done in a bigger body camera without mechanical shutter. Hopefully still with IBIS like the Burano.

Jaron I wonder how many manufacturing lines for cameras Nikon has. One, two, three. And how many they run at the same time? One, two three ? How long does it take to change a line over from one model to another. That is the question I would pay money for the actual correct answer.
