Raymond's vulnerability just elevates the video cameras and gear isn't about the tech but the emotion they can create. I'm glad that you were able to share this together. thanks for sharing with us all

@thomasphillips5850 Год назад

I must add, the images were incredible, the time lapse even better. But the star of the show are you two. I am respectfully humbled❤

@Rob_F8F Год назад

Love the Hugh Brownstone dream. It's another advancement in your video composition. Bravo! Love Hugh!

@MrCazz Год назад

I hope Nikon get to see this and watch it all. Especially to feel the emotion that Raymond gives near the end. It nearly had me to tears too. And it made me feel like I was part of the universal group of people that are photographers. Photography is emotion, and Leigh and Raymond have always brought it to the screen. If im gonna buy a Z8 its gonna be on just this video alone. Thank you Leigh and Raymond. Oh Leigh, you will always be Snapchick to me 😊🙏❤

@edwardekman9832 Год назад

This has been the best video I have seen on RU-vid about the Z8. Not about the specs, but the heartfelt emotion of sharing a journey with your family. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

@jasoneldridgephotography Год назад

This was a great way to look at the Z8, not as a Z9 but rather it’s own unique camera. The images you captured using the camera were very nice as well. My prayers are with both of you. Leigh for recover and you for the extra responsibilities while she recovers. Raymond, it’s nice seeing you on camera too! Well done, I’ve been a fan for many years and happy to continue being one.

@scraymond5597 Год назад

Thank you

@slarti42uk Год назад

Stunning images, and the sequence with the clouds and rain was breathtaking. Seeing you so choked up, full of love, concern and responsibility is very moving and I hope Leigh is making a good recovery from this surgery. All the best to you both ❤

@scraymond5597 Год назад

Thank you - between mother nature's amazing show and Leigh not near 100% yet, it was quite a mix of emotions creating this video, filming it, and editing it.

@ronaldsand3000 Год назад

Most people including myself purchased the Z9 because it was the only up to date capable camera at the time even though it’s form factor, size and weight was completely unnecessary The Z8 is the perfect general purpose camera we were all waiting for Lee, most importantly, I hope your back is feeling much better soon

@Markkdolan Год назад

This is so beautiful, on just about every level. Thanks so very much for making this, for creating, and for loving Leigh so much, truly moving.

@thomasphillips5850 Год назад

This is one of the best videos that you guys have done, WOW. Beautifully emotional thanks Leigh I think Raymond did an outstanding job The time lapse was incredible. The camera is great, but you two are just unbelievable. All I can say is WOW !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

@Rob_F8F Год назад

The ending was truly heart felt. Peace be with you and Leigh.

@BluesImprov Год назад

I'm retired and have been using a Nikon D7100 for many years. But now I've been asking myself why I don't consider mirrorless and full-frame. Price has always deterred me, but now, at my age, I feel it's time to dip into my savings and make good use of some of the money I earned. The price of the Z9 again deterred me, but the capabilities combined with the more reasonable price of the Z8, and YOUR video, has convinced me that it's time. . .Time for a Z8! Great video, one of the VERY BEST camera reviews I've ever seen. All the best to both of you!

@thetechiephotographer Год назад

Lovely work!! That soothing music ❤

@tannnnnaaaa4026 Год назад

The timelapse was truly incredible!

@brianculver433 10 месяцев назад

I sold my favourite D500, D850 and 24-70 f2.8 to purchase the Z8 as soon as it landed in South Africa. NO regrets….love it for my wildlife hobby and love the 24-120 f4 Z. Can’t wait to get the 180-600 Z. I kept my D780 mainly for use in converting slides and photos to digital - 24 megapixel is ideal - and street use with the nifty 50 f1.8.

@randytentschert6844 Год назад

I pulled the trigger and can't wait to learn and grow with the camera. This is one of the best videos you have ever done Speedy recovery to Leigh

@iu1191 Год назад

Raymond, WOW man. WHat an incredble video. I am a Z6ii shooter and I cannot even imagine needing anything more but I keep looking at reviews just to get insight , inspiration and tips. On the inspiration scale this video is way way way past 10. LEigh has been an inspiration for many years as, latterly have you but this video supposedly about the Z8 was about much more. You really naied the fact that it is a tool and that the purpose of the photography ahs as much to do with the photography as anything else. It is nort even all about composition. It is all about EVERYTHING that is going on. I love the fact that you added in the details about your trip and that car journey in particular. That choice you made to go left and catch that timelapse was just amazing - I remember doing similar things. The emotion you shared with us was amazing adn I an so glad you didn't just do another take and not reveal that emotion to us. You kept it in and we are the richer for it. THe love and care you have for your wife and our friend is amazing. Thank you so much for allowing us to share in that. I wish her well and a speedy recovery to even better health and fitness. And cringy and sugary though it might seem - The love you have just makes me happy!!

@rds990 10 месяцев назад

I run a sports imaging company and was about to pull the trigger on a couple Z9's and then this camera came out. I now have 2 of these Z8's in my arsenal. The only differences that affect me are 1) Battery life (I own 4 x EN-EL 15C's so no big deal) 2) Buffer size (I could not care less, as I am not a "machine gun" style sports guy. I anticipate action and can minimize burst) The fact that there is no "grip" is of no concern. I rarely (if ever) shoot vertical. The card difference is no concern as I never shoot video and a 256GB CF Express gives me thousands of RAW image capacity. This thing is a superbly fast focusing, and easy to manage tool. It reacts faster than I could ever imagine. BUY ONE (or 2) !!

@patrickmolloy6994 Год назад

You're looking great Leigh. Hope your back will be ok. I get my Z8 next week (yay!). I've seen SO many videos already, but this was quite refreshing. Nice job from you both. Many thanks !AND that ZEN moment ... just brilliant !

@TJJoel79 Год назад

Awesome job, loved the images and timelapse.

@chriscole9678 Год назад

Oh Wow! This has to be one of the best videos I have seen on RU-vid! I just ordered a Z8 (upgrading from a D800) which hasn't arrived yet; and I'm in that phase of looking for reassurance that I've done the right thing so clicked on the link to this video. I knew Leigh has been struggling with her back but was not expecting such a great video! It is so good to hear that Leigh is on the mend and also lovely to see Raymond's emotion at the end. It is really heartwarming to see you prepared to show that to the world! And I love the idea that the Z8 is not just a collection of specs and can't wait to get my hands on my own!

@bmwohl Год назад

Raymond, I'm glad I bought the Z9 before the Z8 came out. For me,less energy spent on a smallish purchase choice. The Z8 would have been fine for me if Nikon had released that first. They're both great but I need more time taking picture and less time spent balancing the Z8/Z9 scale. I loved your review. Your time-lapse was inspiring.

@pkennethv Год назад

Same (ish). I'm really glad I have my Z9, even knowing the weight savings of the Z8...but I'm not sure I would have been able to justify the additional cost of the Z9 if the Z8 had been around at the time. If they were both available, I probably would have ended up with the Z8 but then be missing out on the various Z9 features I enjoy that the Z8 doesn't have (primarily the vertical grip & additional buttons)

@deanelliot4127 8 месяцев назад

I’m left speechless. Bravo!

@stripes_in_raw Год назад

First of all, Wishing Leigh a quick recovery and hoping you guys click infinite number of photos together. Great Review. I already own the Z8 and Z400mm f4.5. Switched from Sony A7iv & 200-600mm specially because of its complicated settings as said by you, simply like having separate Eye-AF mode selection for birds and animals. Most of the time I shoot mammals specially bigcats but when occasionally a bird pops up, the camera tends to miss the bird if its set to Animal Eye AF. Then you have to either jump to a different switch on the back to change to single point and move focus points and then click or go to Bird Eye AF via a few more button clicks and by that time birds vanished. And secondly the handling with big lenses. I don't like battery grips as we always carry extra battery anyway. The Z8 is just perfect with long lenses, balances great. Glad I made the switch again back to Nikon. I have shot over 2000 images with still battery at over 40% left. Really feels like good old D850 days.

@kuchaja Год назад

Wow, Raymond, thank you for your passion! Even more excited to be picking up my new Z8 tomorrow.

@Youtuber-ku4nk Год назад

Finally a review made how reviews should be made 👏 I’ll receive my Z8 in the coming week. Initially, after watching the more technical types of reviews, I was not going to buy the Z8 and wait for Z7 iii. But then I thought that Z7 most have even less heat dissipation capabilities when video recording, then I immediately ordered the Z8 when I received a notification that it was in stock - can’t wait. I have had the D810 so I know the size and weight can be an advantage and you get used to carry it.

@mikebreazeale2563 Год назад

I hope your back feels better Leigh. My doctors have told me for years that no back surgery works...you always end up with the pain back no matter what. Good luck with your recovery. I have a couple Z9's and just got the Z8 and I really like it a lot... Thanks for sharing...

@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800 Год назад

@BarbaraCopping Год назад

Just found your video, so inspiring and emotional. I just purchased the Z8, came out of retirement to do Equine and Canine events and decide to go HIGH end this time with equipment. I actually owned Canon's before but LOVE Nikon now. Thanks for sharing

@thomaswhitmore5095 Год назад

Thanks for sharing, this is your best yet. Best wishes for full recovery!

@lowellprice Год назад

I received my Z8 on May 27th....and have truly enjoyed shooting with it. I have been shooting landscapes with Nikon digital cameras for 20 years or so...D200, D300, D810, D850, Z7II, and now the Z8. I honestly feel that the Z8 will become my all time favorite.

@toddysurcharge771 11 месяцев назад

Hugh Brownstone is the Jeff Goldblum of Photography and that is a big compliment in my opinion.

@Rob_F8F Год назад

If you can turn the Navajo Point montage into a Yahoo Short, that would be amazing.

@johnforbes4795 Год назад

Great video, Raymond. Your dreams sequence had me laughing out loud. And, I've said a Healing Prayer for Leigh. I've owned the D750, D850, Z6ii, Z7ii and now the Z9 and Z8. I traded the D850 for the Z9, primarily for it's quietness and higher frames rates, even though I really wanted something smaller,. I had planned to keep the Z7ii for hiking, travel and landscapes, but when I got the Z8 in my hands with its capabilities and only 1/2lb. heavier than the Z7ii, I realized that I could make it work as my second camera. I shoot lots of movement and the Z9 and Z8 with the better autofocus, no blackout when shooting bursts, instant on capabilities, and better video just works better and is more enjoyable to use for me. Truth is, the Z8 has now probably become my number one camera for its versatility. For heavy lifting, I have the Z9 and I also bought the battery grip for the Z8 (I had owned the battery grips for both the D850 and Z7ii for the long day, thousands of frames shooting movement that I often get involved in.).

@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800 Год назад

Cool Hugh Brownstone dream ! L&R well done this video right I don't want smaller Body I think Z8 is the perfect body size and ergonomics I have not touch it yet but some day I will .Still shooting D800 with Sigma Art lenses attached 20mm and 105mm F1.4 !

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

We have that F mount Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art lens for astrophotography. It’s an amazing lens!

@txaggie99 Год назад

Excellent video. Thanks for the great review, sharing the beautiful trip to the Grand Canyon, and your emotions as well. Hoping Leigh recovers quickly from surgery.

@donaldjones2106 Год назад

Leigh, we are all still here waiting for you to recover. Raymond did a great job on the Z 8. I have seen the utube videos on the Z8. But I have a Z7ll and if is a perfect fit for me. You get well soon. Raymond is holding his own. Almost broke down to the end. We all send love and prayers to you. Get Better.

@RRRCCCDDD Год назад

Thank you both. I traded my Z6 and Z7 for an 'ok' bite out of the cost of two Z8s. But this is what I was waiting for. I was really seriously thinking about a D850 but I know mirrorless is the now and future. Really happy with them. DSLR feel. I will take it through it paces this weekend for birding and landscapes.

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

Wow - two Z8s - that's awesome!

@mohamedyazidbitam Год назад

I JUST BOUGHT ONE . YOU RE AMAZING

@davidroberts6766 Год назад

I have no doubt the Z8 is a hybrid shooters dream. I mostly take landscape images and family stuff. Nothing moving super fast. I don’t do video. For me, the smaller Z7ii and its lovely resolution and colours should be more than enough. Then why am I lusting after the Z8…why? I hope all goes well with Leigh. I had fusion in 2009…its a tough haul, but worth it! Love the emotion Raymond!

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

The Z7 II is a FANTASTIC body. It’s just easy to want all of the new gear that comes out! And thank you for the encouragement! :)

@waynerm002 Год назад

Great review and images Leith and Raymond! The Z8 is the camera we wanted to see from Nikon, at a price point where a lot of people can get the Z9 tech in a smaller body. I would love to see some more features from Nikon on this camera, hopefully they got some pointers from the early users and are working on a firmware update to add them.

@rasc-travel Год назад

Very different, but powerful video from you guys. Thanks for sharing. All the best wishes to Leigh, for her full recovery. Thanks, Ralf

@AliasJimWirth Год назад

Some beautiful time-lapses and images. Really nice. Hoping Leigh is recovering well. You are a good team. Thank you both for this video.

@kaminobatto Год назад

That time-lapse was gorgeous! I was lucky enough to do a test shoot with the Z8 and the Z9 side by side, and I have to admit that I appreciated the Z8 for being exactly in between the Z7II and the Z9 in terms of size. However, the performance was identical in my opinion for all intents and purposes, and the only reason why I am not considering the Z8 is due to the small price difference between the two in my region when the Z9 is on discount.

@champagnesumo Год назад

Hugh Brownstone is the great guru of gestalt, a Yoda of photography, if you will…

@williambrown6728 Год назад

Thanks for sharing such a lovely heartfelt review! After much research I just ordered the Z8, and I'm really looking forward to it. I purchased the Nikon D100 twenty-two years ago and I loved it. In 2013 I bought the highly rated D7100 which has also been a great camera for ten years now. This will be my first full frame mirror-less camera and will propel me completely back into the art and enjoyment of photography!

@bassangler73 Год назад

Nice heartfelt video...Prayers sent for Leigh and you as well Raymond

@champagnesumo Год назад

Blessings & healing to the both of you. I love both the Z8 & Z9. I am blessed that I own both with a couple of lenses.

@thomasphillips5850 Год назад

I have watched this video several times and still feel the same. Excellent video , excellent images and excellent equip M ent. I have played around a bit with the Z8, all I can say is outstanding NIKON , you definitely have a winner here. Raymond you spoke of total comfort with the camera , I have to agree and I have to say it is a rare thing when you feel that comfort. Again excellent video all around, thank you.

@randallbrander8157 Год назад

Great Video! LOL! Cheers!

@philhartley7564 5 месяцев назад

I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to find this upload. A little emotional for my (British) liking but the best review of the Z8 that I have seen. I'm an amateur enthusiast with a d850 and 7 x F mount lenses (although 2 appear to be on permanent loan to my daughter lol) and I have been thinking about a change. I use a Q2 as my daily carry but I need something lighter than the d850 and lenses. I think you have convinced my to go with the Z8 with the FTZ. slowly, body first, then later a few choice lenses. I'll keep the d850 (I think) as you never get what they are worth, bodies or lenses.

@markschneider1396 Год назад

Great review, we all hope Leigh recovers completely and soon. The images were inspiring, and eventually I'll get a Z8.

@WorldofSonyaB Год назад

Thank you so much for the heartfelt review. Wishing Leigh a speedy recovery! I just received the Z8 and I’m loving it! Feels great in the hand with all my lenses, especially with the 400mm f4.5. Looking forward to using the Z8 this summer.

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

Have fun with your Z8!!

@briandurell Год назад

Raymond, Thanks for a real user’s review. The timelapses are awesome. Thanks for NOT editing out your emotions. Leigh, I wish you a speedy recovery. Now you’ve got me on the horns of a dilemma. The Z8 is more camera than I need but my Z6 and Z50 are lacking in a number of areas. Do I wait for a z7iii or Z90 or get on with what is available? Rhetorical question. All the best to both of you from Canada.

@daviddb4858 Год назад

Great piece from the Grand Canyon! My only criticism of your Z8 review is that it makes me want to buy one! Best wishes to both of you.

@RichardBO9 Год назад

Wow! The footage is world class. I appreciate your vulnerability. After all of that, I feel a little cheap for asking technical questions, but, does the Z8 display the focus distance with the 24-120 lens, or are we still stuck somewhere between flower and mountain? Also, if you are shooting at apertures greater than F 5.6, do you have to stop the camera down to check focus? Great video. You keep getting better and better. Hope Leigh is doing well. Update: After a LOT of looking at other gear over the last year, I purchased a Z8 and two lenses yesterday. This video was instrumental in that decision. Thanks for all you do.

@Mr09260 Год назад

GREAT Review

@wkoplitz Год назад

great time lapse

@brianglock3099 Год назад

One of the first luck to receive on May 25. Love it, work great along with my Z9. In the past two weeks times just taking Z8 out to travel” light” others just the Z9. On a few walks both, on an event both. The Z8 on a strobe frame is more comfortable to handle than a Z9. Both are a joy to work with. Before the Z8 I was using the D850 as second cam. Always nice but not as nice as the Z9, thought of second Z9, then May 10 the Z8 was announced. Perfect second cam, will perform the same can set up almost the same but has the benefit of being a smaller body. I have been saying , funny you referred to the Z9 as a sledge hammer🙂, that having the Z9 and Z8 is like having two hammers in your tool box. Both accomplish the same thing but each is best for different jobs. Hope Leigh is feeling better and up and about soon.

Nice camera 📸 z8

@paulmobley9645 8 месяцев назад

Just got my Z8 w 24-120mm and 200-500mm lenses the last Nikon was D600. Your comments where very moving on the Z8 comparison to Z9. I will be going to GC in April. I have been many times. Liked your story on the time lapse effort and Navajo Point, I saw you had 16-30mm lens. Do you use it much beyond the vast grand canyou shot? Battery life issue makes sense.... I will learn to turn off this camera each time.

@jedlazzeri6750 Год назад

Love this video!

@Ebbyman413 Год назад

When deciding on 'pulling the mirrorless trigger', battery life was the biggest reason I said "Pass" to the Z6 & Z7 and got the D870; the small in the hand size being the other. If I were making the same choice today, after this review and seeing what the Z8 is all about, it may have persuaded me to take the plunge. Well done!

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

I think this is the body that will take a lot of people from DSLR to mirrorless. :)

@thecapnpoopy Год назад

Well, I think my decision about whether or not I'm buying a camera will rely strictly on whether Ray makes me cry during the review. I ordered mine Wednesday. it should be here Monday.

@voederbietels Год назад

i have ordered the z8 is there a tutorial how to make timelapses with the z8 ?

@steveross556 Год назад

First, best wishes to Leigh for a speedy recovery. Thanks for your thoughts on the Z8. I ordered the Z8 (as an upgrade over my D850) as my first mirrorless because it seems to meet my one qualification for "fast" bird photography: I can get more in-focus shots. I learned from another site you can set a custom grid range and change the settings for more success. My test is always the same: in a bright sky can you focus on the eye of a dark bird flying by in the 500mm range?

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

We’ve been incredibly happy with the Z9 for wildlife photography. I’m sure you’ll love the Z8!

@davetv13 Год назад

Just don't try to shoot to the/a SD card it will bottleneck your work flow a ton. It will kill the buffer and the speed you can shoot at. If you only shot to a single CF Express you'll be fine with extra batteries in your bag or pocket. Its a great camera for those who don;t need super fast speed or a huge buffer when shooting to 2 cards. Its a great camera in our right just but not what I would consider a mini Z9 because of the SD card slot........ Great video. enjoyed. Yes any camera has its plus and minuses and bow you use it will dictate how your photos turn out. Great job with the video both of you.

@pepper6253 Год назад

Lovely video.❣ Prays up for speedy recovery and blessings to you both.🙏🏼You got this. I am seriously thinking about the Z8 but still wishing Nikon would release a Full Frame Zfc . P lease if you have any pull with Nikon speak to them for me, lol. Be well

@hishamosman4341 Год назад

Firstly, I like to wish Leigh a speedy recovery, In Sya Allah. Secondly, great review with the Z8 over the canyon. As an ex D850 shooter myself, this new body is a no brainer actually, just go get it! My only worry is when you overflow the CFexpress onto the SD card, that will go down hill a little

@LeighAndRaymond Год назад

Shooting to the SD card, as long as you have a fast one, is still very good. Where I notice a difference is in transferring the photos to the computer - the CFexpress is much quicker!

Not 150fps. 120 is correct at 11MP.

It's messed up but at 6:45 I expected you to say "shes already back to making me sandwiches"

This vid is just too honest for RU-vid ... No acting or script

So funny, for me, that I have a Canon Pellix and not once did the size come to mind because no one I knew was going on about camera size. I just used it, 50 plus years ago. Also on battery life. How hard is it to change a battery, no were near as hard to change FILM for a whole 35 shots.

Does anyone know if the techart pro adapter will work with the z8 and Sony E mount lenses?

Z9 is too much of a brick for me - I just want all of its features in a Z6III. Guess time will tell. But the improved AF is a major element for me, plus quite a number of other improvements. Would have liked the GPS. Other than that I am hoping to take delivery of the Z8 next week !
