Nikon Z8 For Filmmaking | 1 Month Review 

Interesting video. I should start poking around with video I have a Z8 that is really overkill for photography and sits around a lot. This was an interesting video i didnt know it had dual ISO at 800 thanks for sharing your perspective. I look forward to your opinion of the 35mm 1.4.

The Nikon footage looks so much better than sony's. Nikon got depth and character. Sony's footage just look straight out flat. Keep up the good work brother

Hey, can you do a review of the 35 f1.4 especially for autofocus..? Really looking forward to it.

One thing tho: afaik the z8 only shoots oversampled 4k60 in h265 10bit NLog, but to my knowledge the 4k60 NRAW is lineskipped i a way… i cant confirm it 100% as the 4.1k60 NRAW looks absolutely pristine, so its hard to tell. When i shot both on the same day with the family out i did. However an increased clarity in the h265 clips when i watched it on a big monitor…its absolutely minor, but might be important in lower light…

Am having throuble to understand if the Z8 is just missing autofocus because it looks like 8 of 10 shots are not in focus. Is that the Z8 or your style? Like its an amazing boke but its just not sharp. Can you explain?

Beautiful work. I'm done subscribe

Love the video, could you share how you expose your Nlog on the Z8? Esp since it doesn't have a light meter and the only way to gauge exposure is through histogram

What memory cards do you use with your Z8 wedding workflow?

Hi Peter. Great video👏🏾. Im almost in the same boat. But i kept my sony a7s3. I have the z9 and i love it. Yes its big but the quality is impressive. My question is. Are you sure the 4.1 60p raw is oversampled? Ive been using 4k h265 60p oversampled. Yes raw are bigger files but if its oversampled too then im switching to raw.

I’m struggling to choose between the z6iii and z8 for filmmaking.Someone help me choose I mostly do nightclubs and concerts

It’s hard to listen to what you’re saying. The fx3’s dual native iso starts at 12,800 and cleans right up. Also saying you have seen zero grain on the z8? Thats just a ludicrous statement. I wanted to take on board what you were saying but these broad out of the box hyperbole statements just were just a bit much.

Question: im probally going for a nikon z8 but the only thing holding me back with the Z8 is no dual recording function --> im afraid of card failure while filming a wedding or event :s Do you think this is a problem? How do you fix the dual recording issues? (A ninja ontop for backup is a solution but a heavy one)

time to get the 1.2s!

You have your script flipped. The FX3 is more organic and the Z8 is a digital look.
