Appreciate you having me on. You told me to talk a lot as you nod I think we accomplished that lol

Seth is just amazing, clear and to the point.

Sorry I missed you live Kon, many thanks for having Seth as your guest, his explanations around pixel sizes and comparisons etc are brilliant

I love my 24-120 f/4!! Seth sold me on that one in store.

Thanks for the shout out! 🥰

Z50ii and Z5ii refresh would be the next logical step for Nikon. They can sell a lot more Z5's than Z7iii.

100% a lot of Zf owners were people who wanted a Z6III but didn’t want to wait. I think we will start to see the Zf get discounted very soon as it doesn’t look as good a value with the Z6III just $500 more. I’m hoping it drops to at least $1600, and then Nikon puts its guts into a Z5 body and sells that for $1600 Z5II 🤞

Great to see you again!

Great to listen to you Seth

About the "pixel race". I have been working with the D4 and the Df for a long while and i still consider my D4 very capable for everything i need. I stopped chasing megapixels a loooong time ago now. And i actually was not even going to go into the Z system before i saw the Zf which i eventually bought as a "replacement" for my Df. And while it does not really replace my Df since i liked that sensor a lot more than the one on the Zf i do like the other things the Zf brings to the table. But more pixels wouldnt have helped me one bit. I really like the smaller files and have never needed to print larger than what a 24 can give me. I have an older Mac for PP and the smaller files are very welcome there. I think a lot of people have woken up by now when it comes to upgrading cameras, and understand that everything we have had for the last 10-15 years have been perfectly fine and actually had sensor and character and other capabilities the newer cameras seem to lack :) Of course there are always a lot of professionals etc that compete in other areas of photography where a faster and "better" tool is appreciated at all times. So i can see why they are stuck in that "ratrace" for the latest camera ;)

The 35 1.4 will be on my wish list, however if Nikon dropped a super wide 14 or 16 then that would go to the top of my list. My next for sure lens is the 100-400.

Watching this stream late as usual and regarding the comments about the the 35 1.4 being a disappointment that it wasn't the 35 1.2 is mainly because the 1.2 was the last lens on the old lens roadmap and everyone expected it. Now in reality the f1.4 at it's price point is great for those on a budget but my opinion the 35 1.8 currently on sale for $100.00 more is a better lens, 2/3rds of a stop is irrelevant but the optical quality of the f1.8 is better, just compare the specs. along with better lens coatings. Personally they should have made the 35mm f1.4 a "S" series lens, my opinion.

Great interview. I think the z7iii should come out in two varieties a 36MP great allrounder except for very fast action. And a z7iii HR 65mp beast in a slightly chunkier body. Z8, z9 are already 45mp. Z5 should be a video beast with active cooling than can do photos.

Wish I could have seen this live!! Seth is awesome!

Just received my Z6III this morning and going to be testing it out tomorrow. I’m a wildlife bird photographer and been shooting with my Z6II. I decided to keep my Z6II as a backup unit.

yay! Kon and Seth!

Yes, fully agree. Nikon needs at least one Pro Camera in the Pro body with an integrated grip and no more than a 24mpx sensor. There is nothing to choose for wedding events sports or photojournalism. Not everyone needs 46mpx headache!.

I'm loving the Z6III. For me it surprised me in the capabilities they crammed into it thanks to the sensor. I love the silent shooting that's actually usable, small size, high frame rates with large buffer and blackout free shooting, and finally insane video specs. Remarkable. Regarding CF express cards, don't feel you have to buy one straight away. Stick with V90 SD cards until you can actually justify a crazy CF card. The buffer is still amazing with my Pro grade V90 SD card, and the camera can still record 4K 60 H265.

Go Seth! 👍🏻

Talking about trading to upgrade, I traded my Z6II and Z7 for a Z8, then when the Zf came out I got it for my EDC.

What's the current market share of Nikon? Will they gain back customers from Canon, Sony, FUJI? The current problem they have is the outdated APS-C (DX) camera line. Nikon should increase efforts for first time camera buyers that want to get into the Nikon system.

We need Z6iii in the body of Z9. So far Z6iii is too small and not pleasant to work with.

What is Elvin Ring? And why no talk about a Firm Where update for the Z7/6 ii and and what about a 35/1.2? Just kidding nice to see you and Seth.
