Nikon Z6 / Z7 REVIEW “One Year Later”...SORRY NIKON!!! 

A Sony user Fro 😁

I just want to see him shirtless someday

@@ehouli77 Sony Affiliated User Fro... :(

This is what happens when you have to eat up your words admitting that the competition you spoke against for so long offers a superior product.

Lol ...

same here. no knocks on sony, just felt good in my hands and had a couple of nikkor lenses and DLSRs. so there

@ M-Amine Adjoua: Best reply I've read among all the replies. The Z-6's ergonomics, button placement, super-clear super-readable viewfinder, natural feeling handling, and for 99.9% of users, an autofocus that is as good as the Sony's, make the Nikon a better camera than the Sony A-7III, I feel.

Felipe Gordillo Corvalán 100% after, easier to listen to for sure. Keep some things but the usual memes arent rly funny

He went to Jared!

Felipe Gordillo Corvalán I agree hermano Felipe - kinder, gentler Jared.

I also prefer this Jared.

I mean it’s fine , but he makes pretty good jokes on his videos! Is fine this vibe I get it... but if he was serious all the time , it would get boring real fast. I think he can mix it up sometimes, or stay the same as always! I always watch his videos after 5 pm (after work) so I can relax , hear some jokes and laugh and still get the info that I need.

Agree 10000%...if people do get angry that's their problem...great video...great points...great content...love Jared

The comparison wasn’t really superfair. A great deal of it was spent on af performance, which was improved in the last two months with the new two firmware updates. Maybe not Sony-like still, but a great deal better. Wish he would have tried that on the field.

@@GuNNeR85 From what I've read elsewhere, while they fix some things, they don't solve the inherent issues Jared brings up.

I just hope Nikon is listening to what its most loyal critics are nearly ALL saying about the Z system. I'm actually glad I'm not at a point at the moment where I can spend on a new system - my D750 is fine for now - because it'd be an agonizing choice. Hopefully in the next year to eighteen months, Nikon can make some big strides to address the issues raised here and I can be content in choosing from whatever their next release of full-frame mirrorless is.

@@GuNNeR85 Or maybe he's just not as impressed with the latest Nikon Z firmware updates as you are. Do you know for sure that he didn't try the new firmware? Either way it's just all of us having opinions, and it seems maybe you like the state of the Nikon Z system more than he does. Nothing wrong with that. I'm excited about the year to come, and see what happens when the Canon and Nikon systems mature more. I'd like to move into the full frame arena sometime in the next year, and I have no full frame glass to push me to a particular system. I'm currently leaning towards Sony for the video auto-focus performance, but it'll be interesting to see how much Canon and Nikon can play catch up over the next year. Should be a fun year.

We can still get bokeh with a f1.8 with latest Z lenses, why spend double on a f1.4?

There's a way to make the auto focus way better now. Monochrome RU-vid channel tells you setting you can change so speed up the auto focus. I actually can use the eye af reliably at weddings.

Z6 is the Best camera for the money. Superior colors, white balance and ergonomics to Sony. And with adapters tons of manual great lenses rock on Z6. Especially voigtlander 1.2 35 40 50. Sony is all about great autofocus, but that's it. Nikon all the way.

sounds like you may be in denial man.

You are 100% right Michael Nikon is the best you just have to give them a little more time and baby afro will stop talking nonsense

You smoking crack? Sony is head over heels better than Nikon Mirrorless. I would never recommend the Z system to anyone over Sony or Fuji.

Have a look at the environments Paul Nicklen takes his Sony gear through on the regular. It sure seems Sony has toughness in spades with "build quality".

All we really need is Nikon to improve the autofocus, they are already adding firmware updates and im sure there will be more. On top of this by the next generation im sure they will have ironed out, there will be a second slot and id say they will be on par with Canon and very very close to Sony. It will just be a matter of which files and ergonomics at that stage.

then get a GH5s

And Canon glass...

@@joshblank1 I avoid Sony! they are jerks to deal with :) and I have heard stories about their weather sealing!! why does people get obsessed with wanting the fasted!!! AF going?? people were taking great photos 40 years ago!!! whats everyone want now? film a scene and spend a few hours picking the best frame :) I stick with Nikon because I have a good collection of F mount lenses, thats what makes the difference!! I have even taken some bird stuff with a manual lens!! yes, I might miss a few but that doesn't bother me :)

Well said

the same here :)

So I can take sharp photos and stuff in motion with it?

ilya Petrenko Same here... Very happy. PS: eye af is an over rated gimmick. It works but I still shoot single point and doubt I will ever change.

So it has come to that.....

I have a d850 and tempted to buy also a z6. I don’t think that a z6 can substitute the d850....am i wrong?

i use nikon for my landscape, urbanscape and travel photography. my z7 is great at that. fantastic even. but i might head over to sony for the pixels and large print opportunities.

The Z7 is the best camera for landscape the ability to shoot that freaking fast just makes handheld hdr sooo easy i have not seen a sony do this

@Douglass Paul I’m sure we are going to see a higher megapixel Z very soon, and if it’s anything like history has shown, Nikon will get more out of that sensor than Sony does.

@@ThatWasPrettyFunny yeah for some wildlife stuff, it's amazing how much I can crop and still have excellent results...

Douglas Paul If your Z7 doesn’t give you big enough prints no camera will do. You can make prints as big as you want ... if you take a good photo. It’s all about viewing distance.

Something good? Jared talks negative and now it's a bad camera? 🤦🏽‍♂️ Plenty of actual pro photogs using the Z system with outstanding results. Wedding photogs working 50 weeks a year type.. not a RU-vid personsality. Have you seen how Jared edits his own photos in Lightroom??? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

He's not mad, just disappointed

He clearly feels let down by Nikon. Personally, as an amateur shooter, I'm not too bothered by this. I shoot a D750, so the cutting edge he's used to does not concern me. But since he needs to make money with his work, he has to have what works best, and Nikon isn't it for him just now.

I don't really get it though. Aren't these all issues we already knew one year ago? One card slot, not a lot of glass, mediocre AF... I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I am not sure what it is that disappoints him so much. And why is everybody in the comments suddenly acting as if it was Nikon's end? Could somebody explain it, please?

@@novembergold4144 because Sony lineups are just soooo good that those z6 z7 which supposed to challenge the Sony lose by margin

Michael Grevera LOL, this comment pretty much sum up the whole video

You nailed the feeling of this video. This could have been summed up with “You are great, we just have different needs.” 😂

It's not you, it's me.

Z6 is huge step over DSLR IMHO. I will point some key features you could find interesting. 1. EyeAF. Focus and recompose is history. Shooting wide open is great with Z6 eyeAF. 2. AF system and back LCD. Most of time a shoot looking at back lcd screen and rarely trough viewfinder (mostly in bright light). Here are reasons.. My eyes do not serve me as before, I must relay of camera AF system. I have ability to shot low, middle, and high ground. Shooting from head point is boring and limiting. Shooting with primes and holding camera in one hand give me ability to have some focusing range by moving hand and not to have to move myself. 3. IBIS. My prime lenses are now stabilized. Finally solve problem with my shaky hands. :) 4. FTZ..Work great. I have Sigma, Tamron and Nikon FX lenses and they all work great! 5. Low light ISO performance. With f/1.4 lens and Z6 I never need flash.. 6. Ergonomics.. do not need to elaborate this.. 7. Silent shuter, USB-C charging, XQD card speed, connectivity with android, jpeg from camera, etc..

Those cameras are wonderful!!!! just invest in more glass :)

@@Gibson1976uk Oh, I have plenty of glass. Another reason not to invest in a new camera mount system. Yes I like my DSLR bodies and for my needs they do very well. I do not think anyone can keep up with new technology now days.

@@chesterjohnson4504 Someone with a good "eye" can shoot circles around someone without that talent no matter what equipment is being used. Give a nat geo photographer a cheap point and shoot, and someone without an eye for a shot the best equipment in the world, and the nat geo photographer is going to come out on top anyway.

Maybe 18 months ago that would have killed it. But not now.

@@keithgoreham1463 And now it is not so late

Same!! Got the d750 rn though!

Craig Upshaw you can’t go wrong with D850!!! I own it and love it. Z6 is superior in some aspects but D850 is fabulous too.

Love my 750. Worth trading up to the 850?

Or the D5. There's a charm about how quickly it did the mirror flip compared to all other Nikon DSLRs

@@charanis IMO, 100% yes...if you want to stay DSLR, for mirrorless majority of the people choose Sony. But none (Nikon, Canon, Fuji etc) are "bad"..IMO.

Yeah, you are right about Z50. As Jared said in the video Z50 is better than Z6 in terms of autofocus. It's the reason why I sold my Z6 and keep Z50. I love Z50!!

I dont think hes a very good protographer. 0nly a sport photographer. but thats all. anyone can do that with a pro camera and a little bit of training. butbhes good at bashing nikon and getting money from it

@@kiyoshim9593 eh, he's done some good photojournalistic work too. And he used to use only Nikon. He just bashes on them now because they're falling behind compared to Canon and Sony. If he actually didn't like Nikon he would criticize them as much and would just let them fall off the market

@@JuanSanchez-zz3me photojournalism comes with the "journalism" he was a just a personal photographer for bernie and aoc. I dont agree that you need to be a good photographer for that. anyone with 1 week training and good glass can take these photos. why do you think heblikes canon 1dx? he can spray and pray.

@@kiyoshim9593 nah i dont agree With you

@@jehualguno1646 Try a D6 or an A9 with fast glass on auto. you will see

I say that exact same thing every time. hat is wrong with just putting the focus point in the center and composing with the camera? That has worked for me for as long as I can remember. I realize that has more to do with what you are shooting but seems like that would work just fine for portrait. It's not like your subject is moving all over the place.

What I see when all are raving about fast eye-af, are they becoming lazy photographers? When looking at these videos when they are working, they all look point and shoot shots. They might like it now, but there is a downside to the ease of eye-af. In the next few years, every amateur can make the same shots with absolutely no effort at all. After saying that, the z-series z6 and z7 are the first ml cameras from Nikon. And most of us know that 1st Gen products are never the best iteration, no matter which brand you use. I do agree that Nikon need to step up their game. Not having a 70-200 f2.8 and other workhorse lenses with z-mount available is downright stupid. Having a decent eye-af is mandatory to be able to compete with the other brands. I still really like my D500 and for now, my only upgrade camera that I consider is a D850. I might go for a mirrorless in the far future, when all the kinks have been worked out. Till that day, I don't need eye-af or focus peaking. I do most of my photography without eyes on the subject and I want to learn to work without these features.

@@Thunder1976NL So camera makers should make their professional products more difficult to use so that amateurs can't get good shots from them?

@@pres13vt no, we should Focus on compsition, lights and everything else

that's right!

The desire for 1.2 glass came from film days when anything over ISO 1600 was all grain, todays cameras shoot clean up to 6400. So it is an advantage to have 1.8 glass to save weight and money.

Same, I got the Z6 and it's an amazing camera.

Pretty much my experience too. Had several trips to camera store to play with all current FF mirorrless. Coming form APSC I had no FF glass. Nikon Z had the best feel, ergonomics, interface and great lighter weigh glass that is excellent image quality. Being an enthusiast landscape and street shooter the 14-30 f4 and 24,50,85 are all amazing and quite light and reasonably priced. Best bang for the buck and it saves my back. Loving it. Eager for their lens lineup to fill out a bit more, eager for macro 105. I totally understand while professionals may be hesitant, but Sony having a 4yr head start makes them the better choice for them right now. Both Canon and Nikons first mirrorless is about as good as Sony’s 2nd or 3rd, and I think they will catch up quickly. I suspect a lot of Nikons shortcomings in Z6&Z7 can be fixed in firmware. Very happy new Nikon shooter.

It's funny you mentioned how the Nikon just felt right. That comes down to personal taste and had shape/size. I shot some images with a Z7 and hated the feel of it. It was sporting a Tamron 70-200 F/2.8 and it was so front heavy it was horrible to hold. The camera just wanted to fall forwards all the time. I wasn't keen on the grip either. I have very large hands and it was way too short in the grip. I 'need' a vertical grip on my DSLRs, so I definitely need one on a mirrorless camera. The Z series doesn't have a comfortable and functional vertical grip, they just a box that holds batteries. The other issue on the particular camera I tried, and on the Z6 a photographer friend of mine tried, was that the images on the EVF and rear LCD looked nothing alike. The EVF looked yellowish and dull whereas the LCD looked accurate and fantastic. As for lenses, Canon RF glass is knocking it out of the park. I watched a comparison between the Canon 15-35mm f/2.8 with the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8. Zoom VS prime. The Canon was sharper in the centre and significantly sharper at the edges and in the corners. Both lenses were similar in price.

Oh yeah, for sure I agree a lot of camera shopping comes down to personal taste about the feel of a camera. I'd recommend highly people hold and use any camera for some time in a shop if at all possible (or at least make sure online purchases have a good return policy). Like Jared has mentioned you can get good images on pretty much any modern camera and it all comes down what fits your needs. In my opinion, I think you will be best off with native z glass both for performance and feel/balance. I have tried a few lenses with FTZ adapter and they do work perfectly fine but they definitely didn't balance well. I'd bet the Z 70-200 2.8 will feel much better when it comes out...soon hopefully since it was promised by end of 2019. Adapted lenses will always have compromises. I can only hope Nikon opens up their Z mount to Sigma and Tamron soon so they can build native glass to have more glass options. I thought I had heard a rumor of another grip coming out with more function than just holding batteries and using blue-tooth to trigger the buttons since you can already do that with remotes as it is, it should be easy enough. Even though I don't need grips myself, I totally agree it is an oversight and more of a reason these are really profession cameras as they are now. I agree the EVF was a bit odd out of box, I fiddled with settings a bit and it is closer to LCD but still not as good. I didn't see a yellowish dull tint with my LCD and it was quite sharp, but it was just dark and didn't seem to adjust appropriately. I adjusted levels on mine and added that to MYLIST to have easier access. The External LCD screen is quite excellent and one of the best out there. I do agree RF glass is amazing, but comes at a hefty price and it HUGE to boot. Was out of my price range to drop $2k+ for each lens (except for the 35 or the variable aperture zooms). Canon is defiantly killing it with their initial glass going for the professional, I'll be curious if they do drop the R mark II in 2020 as there are rumors swirling for that already.

@@Honkus I might be wrong Michael, but my understanding is that Nikon never 'open up' their mounts to third parties and that Tamron and Sigma instead have to reverse engineer the design using samples of Nikon's own lenses, which is why they take so long to come to market. That said, I share your hope that - by whatever method - Tamron and Sigma have some offerings soon, though not simply their current lenses modified to incorporate an FTZ adaptor, which is the solution some people suspect will emerge, at least initially :-( I currently have a Z6 with just the native 24-70 f4. It's incredibly sharp for a kit lens (albeit a somewhat premium 'kit' lens), but the combination is a little restricting and I'd like some lenses with a bit more reach. I'm also just about to invest in a Z50 (if they ever come back in stock!), as a travel camera and would love to have the Z equivalent of the Tamron 16-300mm that I've used with my APS-C DSLRs for several years now.

@@davidf6326 Z50 is very interesting and a great deal if you get both lenses. Keeping on my radar as a second body option for my z7. Won't be traveling until April so going to wait until then as who knows what may change by then as far as options and deals. Hoping some of the focus improvements people are talking about with Z50 show up in firmware updates to Z6/7.

Cool, make a video with your opinion and post it, that's what RU-vid is all about. But you focusing in on the a7 III misses the entire point. I use an a7R IV and a9 II both with a redesigned body and get this.....a grip...2 card slots and eye af. If you want to shoot with one card, that's cool.

​@@froknowsphoto the a7iii is what to focus on because the a9ii and a7riv are the 4th generation, the z6/z7 were intended to compete against the a7iii and a7riii .

@Sundaystroller Why salty? It's just my experience and opinion that the z6 was better than the A7iii.

Why would you switch from an a7iii

Nate C He said why haha

I agree, Sony just doesn’t feel good in the hand

Marc Nappier Ok, but the A7iii is still an extremely recent body. If he was with a Sony he must’ve invested in glass, therefore had to sell of that at a loss. Instead of doing that he could have upgraded to an a9 or waited for something else. I just don’t understand why you would switch from one new body to another, that are also in completely different systems.

@@alksdng97834y I only bought used lenses and sold it for exactly the same. I didnt lose a single euro :) And I wrote why I switched. A9 would be wasted money for me :D

Is it that you don't know how to use focus point or what?

Can’t believe a “pro” depends on camera picking the focus and then complains about when it misses- as they all do.

@@WilliamBarrow Me, too. A professional photographer should be using single point AF and selecting their own point(s) ALL the time when things are mission critical. Pros don't rely on automation in every situation or for every task. Nikon's eye-AF actually works very well, overall. Not as good as Sony's, no, but they'll get there soon enough. Let's see what happens when Nikon's pro mirrorless body arrives. I have a feeling a lot of people will be staring at their computer screens, slack-jawed, wondering what the hell just happened ... kinda like when the D3 arrived back in 2008.

@@WilliamBarrow doesnt that depend on the scenario ?..what if you are required to do shoot unpredictable scenarios which happens in matter of seconds?...would you still use focus point manually ?

@@RobertFalconer1967 True.. Pros dont rely on auto AF on every situation...but there are plenty of fast unpredictable moments you cannot capture by manually using focus points....

I don't think the AF-C is actually really meant to be continuous autofocus as such, is it? I think it's badly named. And for video AF_F is the one that is meant to be used. As far as I can remember from what I've read, AF-C is more like what used to be called predictive focus - if you hold down AF-ON or the shutter button it will keep focusing and should help to get an object moving towards or away from you into focus at the point of actual exposure. For following a face/person AF-F should do the trick, as you've pointed out, but Nikon say in their own blurb that that's for video, not stills.

same here. tested both and went clearly with the Z6 ...Only the Eye-AF is realy better on the sony

Hoping Tamron, Sigma, and Rokinon release Z-Mount versions of what they have for E-Mount. I hated the ergonomics of the A7III vs the Z6, and the EVF and IBIS of the Z6 are miles ahead. Really... give me some compact and reasonably priced lenses and I'm happy.

I also love the 1.8 primes. I don't want to carry a big honkin' 1.4 around. Today's cameras are good enough at high ISO, 1.8 should be sufficient for most low light shooting.

I almost bought a Sony. I looked through the view finder and hated it. Also had a ton of Nikon glass the guy at B&H recommended I try a Z6. This was back when it first came out and everyone was bashing the camera as a piece of junk. No regrets from me I love my Z6

Same here

11 years with Nikon, including the Z7 , with Sony mirrorless now, sony the focus is dead-on

andrademeza because?

@@cessealbeach what you mean "dead-on"?

@@cessealbeach and Ergonomics and Image Quality and Colour ..Nikon Rules Bro

Do you tweak the saturation?

Be Free TV 50 1.8, but if you want portraits, get the 85 1.8, can’t go wrong with either.

Be Free TV yeah I was thinking something nice and within a good budget , but if you can get the d850 you can most likely get great glass, so yeah 24-70 2.8 is a good start

Me too. I am not letting go of my d850. It is a mean, mean machine.

@@TheRedrusso I love it!

Ha. I had to do 2x to watch it myself.

So what are we taking about... The only thing better on sony is auto focus.. Everything else is opinion

Just get the Sony, and to feed your need for a Nikon, get the Z50. Its a killer. And that's why FRO keeps on talking about it in a .........positive light.

Paul Connors better at what exactly? There are so many types of photographers that have different needs. Damn social media is ridiculous. Just shoot what you want and let others shoot what they want.

Don't forget that Nikon is an important National brand and Japan Will step in to save it if need be! Also, they are an optics company and I don't see that going anywhere. Just the Camera bodies sales.

@@TheTonytone77 Is faster frames per second an opinion?

It's been almost a year and a half ...

I replied in a similar matter. Jared has no clue what is in his hands IF he can't master a camera system in a year. 🤦🏽‍♂️ This guy talks about Auto Focus, yet does zero sports. So why is this guy mentioning that? We know he can't master the camera already, same goes for it's autofocus system. This is blog video stuff, period. This isn't real world, this is RU-vid personsality world.

Agree, i made a list of things i like about Sony, Nikon, and dislike. Nikon was a lot behind, but noone was a dealbreaker in the way of that it couldnt be fixed in future if the company works hard. However one thing was: Sigma (and tamron, samyang, everything!) support. I love my Sigma lenses, i love their niche (Sigma 35mm f1.2 art), and now it's available with open source AF (more accurate then ever). Just ordered Sigma 14-24mm DG DN for E-mount! Even if nikon makes one, gonna cost double as much. And AF is very good from what i see. I'm also very interested in the 35mm art F1.2. And no, i always mix oem glass with third party glass, i pick wichever suits me best. I now have two Sony GM lenses as well (24mm F1.4 and 24-70mm). But also, i tested Z7 in a shop, and didn't like it's ergonomics, after all the comments on the net it surprised me. When i later touched A7RIV, it was the big confirmation: I like Sony at least as much as nikon (ergonomics). Button wise i don't like nikon Z7, to much functions hidden away, that cannot be put to a button (even the turn wheel on sony can have 3 functions in 3 modes). Overall Sony made some good moves, but they (like any manufacturer) still have things to win: Lossless compressed, better screen quality, no menu lockup during buffer clearance, stuff like that. But there's so much other issues, that plagues nikon, Sony has fixed: like good buffer, battery (not that nikon is bad, but sony one is insanely good), double card slot, enough customization buttons, pixel shift, etc.

LEXPIX, yes. It still can’t be beat.

Having only one card has never been an issue for 10 years of professional shooting, I make sure cards are Sandisk Extreme Pro and I have used 3 different Nikon top DSLRs over the 10 years. But yes, they could have made SD cards more robust, (there is the Sony Tough SDs though). QXD sounds great also.

@@adrianvanleeuwen It's always better to have 2 slots.

@@adrianvanleeuwen Yea but nowadays even the amateurs are crying there's not even 2 card slot.. I think having the 2nd card slot is for a peace of mind for those maybe 1% of just-in-case moment. (I've not owned any camera that have 2 card slot till now though, maybe for my next camera 5 yrs in the future)

I've never had a card slot fail. So I don't know what all the fuss is about. Sure, it would be nice, and my D7100 that I use for real estate and architectural work (I'm a pro at that) coupled with my Sigma lens works great! I have never had an issue with the slots. My Z6 has also never had an issue with just the one slot. So what's all the fuss about! How many times has anyone had the slot go out on them? I'd like to do an unofficial poll! One more thing: I found a great link to another YT-er that shows a hack for better focusing on the Z6. So Maybe it's a little premature to say it's not that good. I think it's amazing, and the Focus Peaking coupled with my older, non AF lenses is quite amazing to use! Link to said vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-791tjHCH9us.html I wasn't paid by anyone to say this, too. One last thought: I wonder if Nikon STOPPED funding Jared's channel? He never mentioned that, either way...

Kelly Daugherty dual card slots are a complete non issue. I cannot remember are card failing on me ever.

if your starting from scratch canon is the better option,. cheaper lenses,. cheaper body,. for photography,. if your main is video go to sony,.

@@kenjiyamamoto796 the body is cheaper now, yes. I love Canon glass although RF glass is $$$. Much as it pains me, though, right now the Sony A7iii and A7IV have a lot of features I wish the R had. But the R's flippy touch screen, ergonomics, and menu system though... OK, you're right. Canon for life! 👍🏾

I’m missing the trolling from fanboys all I see are comments supporting what Jared is saying?

@@markhardycreative I expected a lot of Nikon fanboy comments but you're right.

@@JohnDrummondPhoto for me, specs doesn't really works for me, i still earning alot of money using my rebel series camera,. and only using my fullframe in dark areas,. for me composition, edting skill, and creative minds matters the most, not the gear it self,. if your professional you know what im talking about,. you can still make great quality videos on 1080p with 60fps only,. and i always use manual when making my videos,. 120p is great to have,. but if your creative enough, you know 60fps works perfectly,. just on my opinion,.

Guru Basavaraj great photos then sony and canon? they are in the pretty much same category, every brand have their advantages. Example, Nikon got great colors, Canon even better, Canon got great autofocus, Sony even better and so on... You can’t make a mistake with either one. And no one of these tree brands make greater photos then the other two. period.

I love the high ISO results I get from my Z6 - it's a great night camera in my opinion.

Yes, the one best thing about Nikon is the color science in the camera software, and some of the great cam features and Nikon lenses. That would keep me there and add a Z6 and I already have a D750 I won't be selling. I'll use both.

Exactly. Sony’s color science is garbage. Hence the reason very few actual professional photographers shot with it.

Nikon color science rules! (some Canon guys might disagree.) but I totally agree as a wedding photography, post production and colors are fast in edits which is Nikon's strength.

A new A7R IV is twice the cost of a Z6, I would hope it has better everything

why?... I see a clear plan from Nikon--> first "prosumer" body's and lenses and afterwards (2020) pro lenses + pro body's.... Canon instate made pro RF glas (2500$+) and a prosumer RF Body??? what a silly strategy! :D ...Sony has at the moment the advantage that they are longer on the mirroless market and have already more lenses. ...But that's obsolet in 1- 2 years. What is the problem with your Z6? ...did you compare it to a A7III?

@@patfish3291 Thank you for your response. First, I do really like my Z6 because of its menu, EVF, etc. I thought telephoto lens(up to 100) and vertical grip are very important for this system and should be released as quickly as possible. But now there are just some rumor for 70200 and a grip without shutter butter. That's what I concern about. By the way, Canon's strategy is more strange for me, so I didn't mention it. I think Canon's RF lens are several times better than bodies as well.

I have 4 bodies D750 in the past couple of months, but I am really happy when I move to Canon EOSR #truestory.

I had one and am glad that I got rid of it already.

@@musicfromheart , what did you change it with?

@@RetroNexus WELL SAID and that is my experience with the Z lenses IQ !!!!

Lmao that line "I know how to use a camera, so I miss more shots because I'm fucking around with moving a single point to where the eye is around, and hoping they don't move, but I know 'how to use a camera' so I don't need that Eye AF button that would enable me to capture shots WAAAAY more accurately, quickly, and reliably" no, you are just making up shit to tell yourself. You are missing out on shots with your attitude towards other systems. You Nikon fanboys are ridiculous with what you will tell yourselves.

Few years ago Eye-AF didn't even exist and no one complained, because we actually understood how a camera worked. If you like your camera to do everything for you then that's okay, not saying eye-af is a bad thing (as I said, Sony is obviously better in that regard), but buying a camera just because it enables you to be extremely lazy, not my thing, but enjoy it if you like it. I have eye-af turned off on the z6 since day one, because my subjects don't move. If you miss shots because you bought a z6 to shoot birds, then it's your problem, I don't miss anything. If I needed something faster I'd buy an a9, but I don't ;)

Spoken like someone who hasn’t picked up a Panasonic S1. The first-gen DSLR-killer that feels like a 3rd-gen camera. Because Panasonic already knew how to do pro mirrorless when they designed it.

Doesn't sound like a pro to me.. As a pro goes where it's @ @ any costs..

Chad Graves I don’t blame you. Nikon will release better “Pro” Mirrorless camera. I still use my D610 and D810. I will get a Mirrorless when Nikon improves with Mirrorless.

Just be careful not to fall for the sunk cost fallacy. You have to look at what the best use of your money and lens assets is going forward. I didn’t go with Sony, but I took a long hard look at both Nikon’s current and long-term trajectory, and determined that the Z-System will ultimately fail due to Nikon’s inability to establish a full professional system of native Z-Mount glass before its competitors do. Canon has almost covered the basic pro lenses, and we’re just waiting on a pro body from them. The L-mount alliance (my choice) is nearly there already with pro bodies/lenses, and will have a mostly complete system in just 15 more months. Sony, of course, is already a mature system. So what can Nikon hope to do against all that, when they’ve already badly mismanaged their available time and resources on ineffective product strategies?Look at Nikon’s latest financial report. The Z-Cams aren’t selling now, and that’s not going to improve going forward as the competition races by them. Which means that if Nikon survives at all, it’s going to be falling back to being a DSLR-only business within 1-2 years.

yep. the pie is getting smaller and Nikon does not have the resources to compete with sony and canon. they are getting crushed which does not bode well for their complete photography business.

Me too
