I have this lens in Canon EF mount. Works very well on both APS-C (70D) & full frame (R6 & R5 Mk II) cameras. Fairly compact (although the lens hood is fairly big), focus quickly, excellent IS, and very sharp throughout with just a little lost of contrast near 300mm, easily recoverable in post. Very happy with the lens.
Its 2024 and I still love the XQD card. Don't know what the problem with them is supposed to be, mine lives in the camera and I copy to SD .The D500 camera is one of the all time greatest cameras ever made. I will never sell mine. The only thing I wish it had was the mode dial from the D7500 specifically for the 2 easy-access custom modes. Maybe a vertical tilt on the screen. As a stills camera is still perfect. It lacks a bit compared to the latest cameras in terms of video autofocus and in particular higher framerates for 4k and HD formats and IBIS. But I would still recommend one for shooting wildlife over just about everything Nikon had to offer right up until to the Z6iii and Z9.
Even 10 years later the D4 and D4S rock. It’s mid 2024 and I have them both and love them. Mirrorless? You can keep them. The fact Nikon made all the F mount lenses incompatible is a crime. You can keep the crappy Z lenses and cameras
Hello can yo do a test with sirui anamorphic lenses? I think in the global shutter of this old cam and I love! I have the little OG BMPCC but I need to see anamorphic results
10:57 You had a white t-shirt on at the time, looking at the noise reduction on the black part, you can see your reflection, I felt like a private investigator for a moment. I have the 2.5K, this camera is beautiful, 100% CINE
I've just found one second hand and I'm buying it. I have the Tamron 70-200 2.8, which is great but you need arms lile Arnie to carry it around. Great to hear the Nikon not Nykon name too. (When the Nikon brand was first introduced to the USA market, for example their S-2 in 1955 it was marketed as a high quality alternative to the Ziess Icon, hence the ad-men called it a Nykon to rhyme with the Icon, and it's stuck ever since in America. In UK/Ireland it was call Nikon, Ni being an abreviation of Nippon, Nikon when translated just means Japan Optical).
Here we are in April 2024. I have a Nikon Z6, but I don’t really don’t love it. Somehow it just does not feel as good to shoot with and the images from it to not look as good as my D3s & D3X bodies. I am minded to sell the Z6 and return to exclusively DSLR bodies. I am really liking the idea of having a D500, & I am seeing very affordable used prices these days. I already have a 120GB XQD card so that can go straight in the D500.
Cheap Sigma lens vs best lens in the world. Really shows that pixel peeping is worthless. In the real word the sigma gets annihilated by the Zeiss. Just look at the whole picture.
This review has 2 flaws (1) it compares camera's internal mic to the DXA-SLR but doesn't mention which mic is actually picking-up the voice; (2) in the indoor test, you jump from no external mic - and SKIP the mic-level output test - (which) would make a comparison to the outdoor experiment - and leaps into using a stronger "line-level" output. Where's the mic-level output sound?
The colors are otherworldly on the photos through the whole review. Are they raw or JPEGs? Did you set the camera to Vivid to get these colors? We’re the photos directly out of the camera popping like this or edited in post? I ask because I am deciding on a bit older DSLR and spend more money on lenses than a body. I don’t need the mega pixels or 120 fps offered by newer camera today. I do need minimum time fiddling around in post. Time, the most priceless commodity in the game of life. No amount of money can buy you an extra day.
I like this review because you talk not only about the specs but you also give real-world examples. So funny that you saw a selfie-stick for the first time!
