I compare three competing cameras to see which one is the best, if there is a best! The Nikon Z50, Canon M6 II and Sony a6400. Which one do you think is best.

For the M6 Mark 2 you can get a dual cold shoe adapter from SmallRig. It's smaller than the cage made by SmallRig and it doesn't block the battery door.

I have been enjoying your videos. Thanks. How much of a difference of image quality is there between A6400 and an EM1 MK2? I shoot primes on an A6000 currently. I use the 56mm f1.4. Is the A6400 going to be noticeably better than the EM1 MK2? Responsiveness, sharpness at ISO 1600 , jpegs and AF?? Would really appreciate your input especially since you use all these platforms

Hi Bob - Thanks for all the great insight into the world of mirrorless cameras. So I bought the Canon m6 m2. Regarding the lack of a built in viewfinder... I don't see this as a negative at all.. You see, size is super important to me and my shooting. AND, on a rare occasion I need an EVF. The fact is that Canon thought this through and developed a very nice solution with this accessory... Just make it removable..

I went with the A6400 and I have no regrets. I love Sony’s dynamic range, lens selection, autofocus, ability to customize, & video specs too. I went from the canon 80D and I never looked back. Lately I’ve been really considering going over to Fujifilm, they’re XT-3 & XT-4 look really enticing.

Excelente video! Gracias por tomarte el trabajo de hacerlo y compartirlo. Me sirvió para definir mi compra. Estaba entre la Nikon Z50 y la Sony A6400. De la Nikon Z50 me gustan sus especificaciones en general, su grip y su posibilidad de poder utilizar mi actual lente Nikkor 18-105mm y mi flash externo Nikon. De la Sony A6400 me gusta la rapidez de su autofocus y su calidad de video en 4K. Actualmente tengo una Nikon D5100 (lente Nikkor 18-105mm) y, hasta hace unos meses, pensaba cambiarla por una Nikon D7500. Pero el futuro de las cámaras es de las sin espejo (mirrorless), así que empecé a buscar mirrorless APS-C y, después de investigar mucho, quedé entre la Nikon Z50 y la Sony A6400. Pero gracias a tu video terminé de decidirme y compraré la Z50. Saludos y perdón por haber escrito en español pero hablo muy poco inglés (el traductor de Google, a veces, tampoco traduce del todo bien) y no quería que mi comentario se desvirtúe. Muchas gracias nuevamente por tu aporte!

@@disponiblesparaviajar Hola! La Z50 me resultó fantástica. Luego de 1 año de utilizarla destaco su calidad de imagen y facilidad de uso. Una compañera de trabajo tiene la Sony A6400 y te aseguro que en calidad de imagen, la Z50 es mucho más nítida. Utilizo un Nikkor 35 mm 1.8G y el 18-105 mm (utilizando el adaptador FTZ). La única contra que le veo a la Z50 es que, actualmente, Nikon sólo ofrece 2 lentes APS-C nativas, en formato Z: el 16-50 mm y el 50-250 mm. Por lo demás, la Z50 es una excelente cámara en relación costo-producto. Saludos!

All great cameras. Which one to buy, well it depends if you already invested in one of the systems or not. For me is no brainner since have Nikon glass at disposal. Honestly most of the people staring with photography will just grab kit lens and have no intention in making further investments in glass at all. Have many friends that do not want to invest, actually they prefer to take their phones on vacation more than camera simply because they never learned how to use camera. Great comparison, maybe some will say that you are biased toward Nikon, but at the end of a day we all prefer some things more than other.

@AlanCheong 3 жыл бұрын

There is no autofocus on the Ftz adapter with Nikkor AF-D lens because there is no screw drive in the FTZ. So AFD lenses behave like a manual focus lens even though it's an F mount.

Hey sir,i'm looking for a new camera; just for stills,no video/vlogging etc. At this moment i use an old 7D, bought it for €300,- with only 3000 clicks on it, so not bad. But you know it's a little big and bulky. I like to shoot animals in the zoo and architexture in other cities in Europe. Like to have a good autofocus by the way. Sony A-6400 i would like, but very complex menu's. I also look for lens availability from third party brands. What do you advise?

But I got Nikon Z50 in my hands and compared some photos with Fuji and some photos from Nikon seem better to me . Now I started thinking of upgrading fuji lenses with new XF27mm and XF 16-80mm but that is another 1000 or more $ or switching to another brand... Nikon Z50, Sony a6400 or Canon M6M2. With 2 lenses, Nikon covers from 16 to 250mm and at Sony and Canon I will be on the same regarding $. Can please someone convince me that the Fuji and 1000 upgrade is worth over buying Nikon Z50 for half less or changing to Sony or Canon. Will I be satisfied with Nikon Z50 long term? Thank you!

@chodzsiepowoczymy1892 2 жыл бұрын

I would not invest in z50 now. Fuji x mount system is on the market much longer and there are far more lenses for it. If you have to switch system choose Sony or go full frame - Sony also has quite good lens selection for APSC. But IMHO image quality will be similar in z50, xs10, a6400… I don’t own any of this cameras and I’m Fuji user myself (xt20, xf18-55, xf70-300) so I may biased

@@KushagraPorwal I love the Z50 for it's compact size.. perfect for grab and go. I have to admit I am selling it but not because I don't love it. Using the Z50 led me to the Z6ii and I don't need both. The Z6ii is more camera than I need but I like having a body I can use for family photos/shots. The Z50 is great because with the FTZ adapter it gives you access to tons of more affordable and accessible Nikon lenses. I would NOT buy the Nikon Z 35 1.8 S.. I did and regretted it as it is more lens than I needed and not THAT much better for MY use than the much cheaper Nikon 35 1.8 (around $200). My 'kit' now is the Fuji X100V and the Z6ii. If I did not have the Fuji I would be keeping the Z50 for a body that I easy and perfect for grab and go. On the Sony .. I have tried Sony several times and they just aren't for me. I find the files/colors from the Nikon and Fuji are more pleasing to my eye and require less editing. For video I think the Sony could be the better play but I don't do that much video. For the price.. especially used.. the Z50 is a great little camera to grab very good images. Like any 'kit' lens.. it does much better in good light/outdoors. If you plan to shoot a lot indoors I would recommend the FTZ adapter and a few faster lenses. Hope that helps. Cheers!

Not really, how do you know what anyone else should buy? Do you know their needs, personal preferences, hand sizes? I, for one, hate those out-dated top dials which require one to completely move a hand from its shooting position to turn a horizontal dial at the top of the camera and then return to the shooting position. Most manufacturers moved away from that nonsense in the 80s to be more ergonomic and faster to use. Other brands use better placed dials which fall at the fingertips for fast adjustments on the fly.
