That intro!!! 🔥 And the sound of the plane flying over 👌 I love that stuff. Nikon’s gonna catch on fire in the next two years - gonna see a lot of video pro and content creators make the move. Hard to argue with what you get in their cameras and the acquisition of RED is going to help them to be taken more seriously. Another excellent video, Josh!
I have preordered z6III. Shipping 5th of july. Could you please do dynamic range test in raw. Push pull latitude test against other cameras that you have.. Im really skeptical about dynamic range after Gerald undone’s review.. always love your videos. Thanks
Thanks for the video. Will keep an eye out for some of your upcoming tests of the Z6 III. I am a bit concerned about the dynamic range though, as that is one of the things that is important to me (I shoot a lot of real estate videos on a gimbal, and there isn't the time nor the budget to set up lights). Right now, it seems that the Z6 III has worse dynamic range in 6K full frame than my Panasonic S5 (original) has in cropped 4K 60p. I don't know if that makes it a "deal breaker" for me, but it is very off-putting. On the other hand, the Z6 III brings so much to the table. I really wish that Panasonic would announce its next camera that is a higher end camera than the S5 II soon.
If you shoot in h265, yes the s5 with the vlog will have more DR...but if you shoot raw with the z6iii, you will have the same results or better...but you will have to add NR in post
I hope you thoroughly rest overheating in different temperatures with different settings. That will make or brake this camera as a viable pro tool for video focused work I believe. Oh, and something a lot of people want to know but almost no one is testing is the quality of the 1080p. The z8 for example has not that great 1080p in FX, presumably pixelbinned, but the 1080p in DX is pristine, down sampled from 5.4K. I wonder if the FX 1080p is downsampled from 6K in the Z6iii.
Re: S5iix, I think it's worth mentioning panasonic's brilliant line of same-sized primes. The Z6iii is a great camera but I'm much less tempted by it b/c from a whole-system POV, the S5iix and prime lenses I already have (e.g. using the 18mm prime + digital stabilization, using the small 100mm macro) don't have any real equivalent in the nikon lens lineup right now.
As much as I love Panasonic, check and see if you can adapt those lenses to z mount, Nikon currently has the shortest flange distance among all camera brands.
@@MtZionMediaPro I looked but haven't found anything yet. I also have a Nikon Z body, which I love, it's just the lenses are expensive, often large, etc.
another great vid 👌 perhaps a small detail to most, but I've gotten really used to having 3x control wheels, and honestly rely on it when shooting something critical. surprised it was omitted on this body. Otherwise, this is a very compelling body 👌
Not being hyperbolic, but if you compared this to iPhone log or pocket 3 log in uncontrolled lighting with ND filters, would the video look all that different?
Nikon extends their dynamic range more into the shadow than into the highlights. In raw, you should be able to recover a lot more shadow detail with Nikon, so keep that in mind when exposing.
Yes. The Z8 has a similar mode and it had some issues. I documented that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YyyiKwlRXCA.html
Great pre review. Thanks for sharing. The image over all looks great but the way it handles the highlights… looks quite harsh. The lack of highlight roll off reminds me of Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. It also had a great image out of a fast sensor but this was its fatal flaw :/
i have zve1 with 16-35mm, but i need mechanical shutter too for photo, plan to sell all of this in order to buy the z6iii n 24-70 f2.8. do u think its worth it or just stay on sony system
How is this camera great for video when there is no control over shutter angle? It seems a little better than Z6ii. The Z8 is more than likely a better buy.
Hey Josh, great video! Looking to start freelance with some years of experience in corporate videography. Not yet bought into an ecosystem yet. Worked with Sony throughout my carreer tho. I'm thinking of going for the Nikon z6 III or the Panasonic GH7. Really liking the arri log and what panasonic is doing. A bit worried about not having a full frame in low light since my first jobs as a freelancer will probably exist of shooting aftermovies for events. Any advice or thoughts would be welcome! :)
Oh man. That is a tough call. The A7S3/FX3 are tough to beat in extreme low light but I haven't directly compared them with the Nikons. If you are in the middle ISO range the Nikons have a lower second base ISO. Here are two videos where I tested dynamic range: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GUshakaos3c.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Al1T7QTLogI.html
Main Z6 III PROBLEM is NO VIDEO BACK-UP to Secondary Card :((( ..TOO RISKY for UNREPEATABLE EVENTS... Unfortunately SAME as ALL 2slot Nikons incl. Z8(!!) & Z9(!!!) :(((
