I freaking love you for this video! I know all of this, I grew up on film cameras and talking exposure/contrasting with my dad, but every new camera that comes out and the more photography advances the more I feel like I’m starting all over again. This is reminded me of the things I already knew and I let get too jumbled up with all of the new information. Thank you
Does anyone know Z6 or sony a7iii would be better? I'm going to be do portraits, a little landscape and events. I do care about low light performances and cheap lens (as this is just a hobby).
I bought myself a D800 about a year ago now. I had wanted one since its release way back when. At that time though I had a D3200 which I replaced in 2014 with a D610 (which I still actively use). That D610 has served me very well but, the first chance I had at a very pre-loved D800 I took it. 150,000 clicks for $500NZD I was very happy with. It’s currently sporting a Samyang 24mm f/1.4 and being used for astro work. Absolutely love this thing! If I see an 810 cheap I’ll snap up one of those too! Would love to have that extra bit of ISO to play with as well as the reduced AA filter. Thanks for the great review!
Great video. I’ve just moved from a D850 to the Z8, a decision based on the AF, FPS and in body stabilisation as I shoot mainly military aviation. Looking forward to the adventure 👌🏻📷
Very nice review. Bought my D810 back in 2015, and I still don't see any reason to change it. This buddy has been and still is my perfect photography companion.
I found this video specifically because I was curious about the video quality. I have two full frame mirrorless cameras, one of which shoots 10 bit 4:2:2. And I’m shocked, SHOCKED by how good the video out of the 5D MK II looks! 😱I didn’t expect anything crappy, but MAN!!! I had no doubt that it would hold up decently for photo, but those video sequences really caught me off guard. Thanks for sharing man.
This was by no means a cheap student camera. lol. Even the serious new to photography will get spoiled when you move to a mainstream camera later. It’s like driving an old Mercedes S600. It’s old but it’s still an S class and it’ll be shellshock getting back into your 2024 Toyota You’d be proud to use it.

I currently have a Canon M50 and looking to upgrade. I like to travel and often take pictures in low lighting. Do you think the R8 is my best option for an upgrade? I have been tempted by the Canon R7 which currently is cheaper and comes with a 18-150 lens and although not full frame appears to favourably compare to the R8. I would appreciate your thoughts
I'd say don't waste your time with the 18-150mm kit lens. They're cheaper quality glass & materials, and you'll lose a lot of the quality you're getting from upgrading. The R7 OR R8 would be a great upgrade from the M50, I'd personally lean full-frame. I think it's worth it in the long run.
I think for $1299 right now, the EOS R8 is a pretty hot deal: amzn.to/3WDA8fE You can also pick up the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 for pretty cheap to get you started too: amzn.to/3WszuSc
Excellent review with real life photos and video applications. I don't "really need another camera" per se, but seeing the Z6 (gen I) on Ebay at the $750-ish mark, makes you think twice. I do like your humble and quite approach when you do a video. New subscriber here!
Thanks for watching and subscribing -- I truly appreciate it. I still love my Z6, and I've had it for about 5 years now. It's dependable, and the photo/video quality is superb! I'll never let mine go, even as new versions get released.
Are we done trolling now lol? The motorcycle sequence I shot was only with the 16mm and 75mm. You *could* do a whole film/music video with just those two! ✅16 + 75mm Kit: amzn.to/3LOAGu7
@@RunNGunPhoto i get that, but just searching through youtube, there is so many positive reviews, and after all, people won't do something too negative because they wouldn't get sent so much free kit, right??
Alright, maybe I was a bit harsh to begin with, especially if you're new to my channel :) I did mention there's a bit of chromatic aberration in the 75mm wide open. Honestly, I'm more worried about my brand than free gear, hence why I state that some brands give me free gear to review. I don't automatically give a positive review. In this case, context is also important. What you're getting at this cost, is pretty wild. If this lens breaks in a year, I'll absolutely share that on the channel. However, I've used these for professional gigs and the clients LOVED the look. For me, that's what matters! :) I hope that helps clarify a bit Sammy! My apologies for being a bit abrasive.
@@RunNGunPhoto And a copy with no crazy high shutter count like 150K. But I realize that I don't have a single Canon mount lens so starting a complete new camera system? And then I have to hide it from my wife because I am on the brink of a divorce already. I think I will pass😁
The colors from the samples you shared are so nice! Are those native picture profiles? ( the photos, I mean). Sure, must be hard to send back such a cool camera. Great review!
I shot with the Z5 and Z6 for almost all of my work, and i finally got the Z8 last year and was amazed at how much Nikon had improved in every category. The Z8 is the best feeling mirrorless body IMO and i shoot with 4 different brands.
What do you recommend for someone dipping their toes into video with the Z8 in terms of stabilization? I was thinking leaning towards a small rig with grips, but also looking at DJI Ronin gimbals. 🤔
Two very different solutions you have there. Look into the DJI Ronin RS2: amzn.to/3y0iI4O Don't get the mini, I dont think it will support the Z8. My Ronin SC struggled a bit to balance the Z8 & a bigger lens.

You're preaching to the choir here, I LUV the nifty-fifty lens for it's perspective and FAST sharpness! It was my first Nikon lens and then I upgraded to a 24-70mm and I'm ready for anything! Many thanks for this video...
I've had a D750 since it released in 2015 and decided toward the end of last year to get into mirrorless and ended up going with the Zf. The Zf is a great camera, but the big downside for me was that it did not have a port to connect a remote intervalometer, so I couldn't use my Hahnel remote with it. And my D750, which I did a full spectrum mod on for IR and improved night shooting, could not be used with the awesome Sigma 14mm/1.4 among other S lenses I've acquired. Fast forward to the present, I was seriously considering trading in the Zf for the Z6iii, but fortunately the bright idea of simply getting a used Z6 lit up in my mind, which was far more sensible since timelapses and night shooting with Z lenses was the only additional function I needed. It also cost less and I now have two ML bodies instead of just one. Thanks for reminding me that I made the right choice!
@@RunNGunPhoto Cheers, man! I highly recommend the full spectrum mod, especially since Kolari has a UV/IR cut filter (Hot Mirror 2) that does an excellent job at allowing you to shoot conventional photographs again. One further tip, I've learned that full spectrum conversion is particularly more economical on a ML body rather than DSLR because they allow the use of clip-in filters which are basically one size fits all.
Hi Great camera I had two of the D3s sold one, it waas a mistake. now looking for another D3s with low shutter count . Bought mine with 6k clicks that was on both cameras
got mine in 2016 when I was till in photo school. today i'm still using it to shoot raves. though it looks very weathered now. I'm thinking of either having it restored or just get a d850.
Strange question: is it still any good? The logical answer is that it still works, or not. I mean to say that when you push the button it's still captures an image. So yes it's still good
You're absolutely right! That's why I love to create videos like this -- to reassure photographers who may not be able to afford the latest and greatest. If one can only afford second-hand gear, it's still good today! Even if it's a decade + or older.
For me one of the best features of the D810 is that ISO extends to 32, which is wonderful when using fill-flash. And with the D810's 1/250 synch I can shoot at f/5.6 or f/8 at outdoor car shows and still get enough fill with a small shoe-mount flash. I also like that the D810 can shoot in the 5:4 aspect which I sometimes prefer to the standard 3:2. That also has the advantage of reducing file size somewhat since I don't need to post 8,000-pixel files on Flickr.
