Coming from Sony. I'm really enjoying using this camera with my GM and Voigtlander lenses on the Megadap adapter. The aperture rings work perfectly and autofocus is fast enough for casual photography.

@ogonzilla 10 месяцев назад

Glad that's working for you. The Megadap adaptor sent to me by the company stopped working during a shoot...so I took my review videos down.

I honestly love third party grips. Just having the choice to grip or not is game changing. It's great to have a compact set up some days and chunkier one when you need it. Plus, the Etsy artisans make some nice handmade wood ones too. 😎

The instant BW mode is highly underrated on this camera. Paired with using vintage glass, I didn't think it would make that much of an impact but wow.

@kurotaka007 2 месяца назад

I’ve been following you now for about 6 months. When I moved from SONY to Fujifilm last December. Well… I left XH2, XH2S and GFX50sii for Zf and Z8. After watching your review and Fujifilm frustration’s I made the move to Nikon and extremely happy with my decision. I had debated the XT5 (really wanted to love it) but did not like it in the hand. Zf makes shooting fun again. Actually, I find it more enjoyable than Z8. Less complicated! Your channel is easy to like. You have a sincere and easy to follow personality. Most importantly, your love for family especially Dad makes it pleasing to watch. I lost my dad 2 years ago and would give anything to have another day with him. I retired from Chicago to Kamakura Japan (home of the Giant Buddha). It’s been an amazing place to photograph. Appreciate your content and style. Many years of success to wand your family! Kampai!

@judeemclaughlin7394 10 месяцев назад

I've been shooting Nikon since 1988 and fell in love with the retro style of this camera. Mine has not arrived yet. I do a lot of night street photography and neon photography. I like how small it is with the lack of grip because I really hope it will still fit in my hoodie pocket. (safety reasons) unlike my Z6ii. And the fully articulating screen will save me some knee issues at low angle. It will replace either the Z6ii or my Fuji XE4.

@matthieuzglurg6015 10 месяцев назад

Omar, just so you know : Fujifilm and Nikon use two different ISO standards, that lead to two different exposure values at the same ISO. Fujifilm is using SOS (Standard Output Sentitivity) and Nikon (as well as Canon, Sony and pretty much everyone else) is using REI (Recommended Exposure Index) What that means in practice is that the Fujifilm exposes about 1 stop lower at the same ISO / shutter speed / aperture settings as other cameras. Effectively, Fujifilm is saying that they're using an ISO 1 stop higher compared to if they were using REI. So an X-Pro 2 / X-T2 having an ISO sensitivity range of 200-12800 natively would have a 100-6400 range if it was using REI. That means that if you want to match the exposure, and do an apple to apples comparison with cameras using REI, you need to use an ISO 1 stop higher. So comparing ISO 800 on Nikon with ISO 1600 on Fuji for example.

@caleidoo 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure he used manual exposure, yet we saw no visible exposure difference with Fuji at the same ISO value, shutter speed and aperture. So we see no real world proof of your statement. So that means if he would have used one stop higher ISO on the Fuji, the Fuji image would have too bright. On another note, with the Z8, there clearly was a exposure difference - the Z8 image being visibly darker @ 15:32 . So I wonder what went wrong there.

@roscot40 10 месяцев назад

@@caleidooI know where you’re coming from, but the guy who’s comment you are critiquing is actually spot on and it’s well documented in old Fuji iso discussions. Look at old comparisons between Sony Nex and Fuji XF for more intel on the subject. And to avoid triggering anyone here, Fuji are a great brand but they’re marketing bud has always been a bit shady. Fuji GFX II sensor readout fudging, ISO values, Autofocus speed numbers.

@caleidoo 10 месяцев назад

@@roscot40 I never said he was wrong about what Fuji uses as ISO standard - everybody knows this because there is always at least one guy that drops this in the comments. I only said that what he claimed ("Fuji's ISO value is actual one stop different compared to others") just doesn't show in the actual images we saw. Everybody can see this: there is no difference in exposure or brightness, when all is equal. Not sure why you ignored that part, it's the core of my comment. And why are you talking about triggering? I shoot Fuji. Nobody needs to feel hurt for reading facts or even opinions about a brand or camera. We're all adults here, no?

@romanpul 10 месяцев назад

While you are right, that probably wouldn’t make much a difference. I have both the Z6 II and the XPro2 and even when shooting both at base ISO the Nikon is a lot cleaner than the Fuji. Which is not really surprising though, considering the Nikon has a much newer BSI sensor and is fullframe at the same resolution, while the Fuji still uses the old FSI sensor

@weiyang6417 10 месяцев назад

I started off with the XT20. A bit of a emotional purchase and upgrade over my Xpro3. Upgrading into Fujifilm or XT5 never appealed to me. Probably because the older XTrans sensors were satisfying enough. It just made sense upgrading to FF.

Been looking forward to this video! I traded my A7C and Z5 for the Zf. Little bit pricey but I'm so thrilled with it. Works great as a documenting family camera, and I know I can use it for paid gigs when I need to. I'm 30 years old and I only started shooting 5 years ago so the retro element is completely new for me, but I love the tactileness of it and it's so hefty!

I love the idea of a retro style dslr. I would like to hold it first but sounds like thats going to be a few months before its stocked in stores. The dust part does worry me because I have been spoiled with the Canon (DSLRs,R,R6,R6II,R5) anti dust system. My A73 and A74 was a dust magnet and when I didnt have a ND filter with me the videos had at least a few spots no matter how well I cleaned weeks prior. My last Nikon was an Coolpix 995 and Its definitely time to try the Niikon again. Was thinking 2 lenses. 40SE F2 and the 180-600. That should cover me. Thanks for the review.

@Guairenito 10 месяцев назад

Pffffff I absolutely don’t need it but the minute I saw it for the first time my mouth was watering 🤤🤤 I lost the battle to GAS long time ago so the heck…I bought the Zf and honestly, what a fantastic camera for the price. You are right, it is uncomfortable to hold, it is heavy BUT the build quality is great and I appreciate a well built camera, and, with the handgrip it improves a lot and becomes less uncomfortable to hold. This is my new all around camera, I like it with the small 28mm and 40mm lenses, and I will also use the Zf with my Voigtlander manual focus lenses from my Nikon F film cameras, with the FTZ II adapter. Great combo.

@ostevoostevo1592 4 месяца назад

I just bought one online yesterday. I was really disappointed to find that there is NO battery charger included.None of the reviews I watched mentioned this vital piece of information. I wasn't warned that there is no charger in the "kit" and without one it's just an expensive paper weight until I manage to get hold of one. You can't do anything with it until you charge the battery..It will be a couple more days until the charger arrives...I'm dying to use my new Zf! Pretty cheap of Nikon in my opinion. Nice review Omar! Actually more than nice. It's one of the best reviews of the Zf that I have seen. Just subscribed.

I just bought X-S20 because of the weight and size but man when I see what images and colors Nikon is producing then my Fuji is looking like a trash. Long time ago I sold D600 due to size and weight but I think I may jump to Z6III when it comes out just for the pure image quality. Nikon spits out best images in the business in my opinion.

@Mr33Ian 10 месяцев назад

It's a superb camera and a joy to use. The dials do not hinder you during most shooting scenarios and the AF is far superior to the Z6ii.....feels like a proper, robust, pro camera....and it's at a great price point! As for the B+W mode....as others have stated, it is a game changer and it means you can take colour and B+W photo's of the same scene to see how you prefer each one....maybe not mind blowing but such an easy and obvious feature that should now be made as standard

@KaraNagai 7 месяцев назад

Omar sure makes entertaining videos. I've owned the Z9 for about a year now and it does a great job taking sports. The Z9 also had memory banks which I can store presets for my favorite settings but it has no internal memory and the shooting banks are stored on the memory card so when I change CF express cards I have to resave the banks each time as they will be lost. It sure would be nice if the Z9 had a micro SD which would give the camera some "built in" memory. I am waiting now for my Zf to arrive from Adorama. Great video Omar, thanks....

Hello Omar. Really hoping you could answer 2 things. Does the ZF have a large improvement in low light performance over the X-H2S? And does the ZF autofocus have the ability to get a majority of sharp eye focus images on a fast dog (or person) coming at you? At least Vs the X-H2S? I cannot get a ZF to compare them.

Great review, Omar. Recently purchased it with small rig and 24-70 mm kit lens. I’m yet to learn how to use it since I’m switching over from DSLR - D 500 and D850 - to the mirror lens. I am a casual landscape photographer but a serious amateur bird and butterfly photographer. My only worry is that there is lot of dust where I live, in Punjab, in India. How the sensor exposed to the atmosphere and dust when changing the lenses can be saved from being spoiled by the dust particles. Any suggestions, please. I would highly appreciate any input in this regard.

@christopherbgriffith 10 месяцев назад

Hoping my pre-order will arrive before the end of the year. This is the camera I've been waiting for and it sounds like Nikon did not disappoint. Originally I would have preferred the Z7 II's 40+ MP sensor, but having used the X-T5 for a while I think 24 MP is better most of the time. Smaller files, faster to edit on the computer, still room to crop. If you get an absolute banger of an image, you can use one of the up-rezzing AI tools to increase the size for prints. So excited for mine to arrive.

The flippy screen allows easy viewing from any angle, the dials are very convenient for setting exposure when the camera is anchored to a lab bench or tripod, and the overall design is super accessible (not as initially overwhelming as modern programmable buttons & wheels) for my undergrads, many of whom are learning about photography for the first time in my lab. 👍

In most video skin tones highlights blown out and you mentioned that its in most Nikon cameras, so just curious why there is no setting to reduce highlits in camera?

Well I didn't know you ride, cool 😎👍🏻 I'm trying to not buy this Zf this week, you are not helping sir 😆

The most impressive part of this video is the teenage daughter who still hangs with her dad. I'm happy for you, guys. And the camera is... another camera. Better use what you have and if some money are burning a hole in your pocket, buy a cool, expensive lens instead. 😉

Great Nikon Zf review! I just purchased one too because of all the reasons you made in your excellent review.

Nikon lacking compact great street focal length f2 lens. Fuji has it: 18/2; 23/2; 35/2; 50/2. Z28/2.8 and Z40/2 are not enough. They only has one 26/2.8. Nikon has 2 great vintage style mirorless, they need to release it asap. If its top difficult to make auto focus based lens. Just make it premium compact manual focus. Their z 35 and 50/1.4 really2 great for casual and artistic modern camera based non pro user. I waiting for their 85/1.4 version lol. Btw i own z35/1.8s its so good and quite cheap for its IQ

I think this camera needs to be even simpler,all these modern things like presets custom buttons etc should stay on the 1 series cams :D

Oh come on Omar.....not you with the grip BS .....stop that pls ! It is supposed to be a retro style camera so buy something else then ! I hate grips !!! I don't need it at all !

@@ogonzilla Arrrg....you take it badly and that wasn't my object. If we had a chat together face to face you would never said that because we would had a big laugh ! But we are on internet and of course I have the feeling to know you, which you can't in return for me, simple logic. I WON'T leave you alone 😂😂😂......to tell you the truth I am quite fed up with reviews as they are nearly each time speaking of the grip for at least 5 minutes, we all see it right, while there are many other things I guess to speak about. That's why I said "not you Omar" you are above that. OK story closed, let see your next video .....but .....be careful 🤣🤣 !

Fuji XT5 v Nikon Zf?

@ogonzilla 10 месяцев назад

@christophergibbons8748 10 месяцев назад

Very interesting, I feel like the 40mp is overkill on the XT5. Something about the Zf looks just sexy to me.

@imharikrish 10 месяцев назад

@@christophergibbons8748 Exactly.. if only the X-T5 had a flip screen and a 26mp, I would have bought it already (considering the current prices)

@TCinSoCal 10 месяцев назад

The greens & yellows from the Zf are beautiful. Nikon yellows are French’s while Fuji yellows are almost Grey Poupon. Been shooting Zf side by side with X-T5 for over a week now.

Great review. Just found it weird this other review on RU-vid, a guy mentioned that in studio the colours of the ZF were greenish, and showed a couple of examples that scared me a bit, but found that really odd.

Compairing it to xt-5.... is that a fair choice ?

@zoeherriot Месяц назад

Point the mount downwards when you take the lens off - dust won't fall on the sensor as much.

@swonghobby 10 месяцев назад

I held this camera. Mix feeling. It nice, it big, not small at all. I thought Nikon put in a micro SD, the camera must be small. Oh no, easily they can put 2 SD cards. Eco is nice. I like it. The functions is good. But personally I wanted a Small unit, so sorry Nikon. Sony would be my choice

I NEEEED HELP! OH MY LORD! Bit of background, I am a Festival and events Photographer, for the nightlife scene, I was just about to buy a Z8 but after seeing the lowlight capabilities of the Zf, I was thinking, I NEED THIS, so clean at 12k iso with ai denoise could help me save a whole load of shots and maybe even take less photos... and the colour range is amazing! What do I do, What Nikon would you recommend for me? anyone?

I've preordered the X100VI, but since the GRIII is my perfect street and EDC companion, I think I might cancel the Fuji order and go with this ZF (+ SE lenses). This video left me thinking... Damn! Thanks though ;)

@socom915 5 месяцев назад

How does the B&W mode on the zf work compared to having a Z6II set to monochrome? Is the zf better or about the same?

@ogonzilla 5 месяцев назад

Same except there are three bw options on the zf

@POVwithRC 10 месяцев назад

Funnily, Ruger ships a couple different size grips in the box with some of their handguns. Ergonomics matter. Would be lovely if camera manufacturers did the same.

This was my personal camera upgrade from an 11 year old Nikon d5100. The only thing I wish it had was uncropped 4k60 and half-press to zoom to "normal." It's SUCH a fun camera to use. and I've gotten to do more freelance now that I have a contemporary camera.
