The Nikon Z9 can shoot 8K 60fps RAW and 4k 120fps RAW internally. It has a full frame sensor with an impressive auto-focus. Let’s bring this camera to South Africa, shoot everything in N-RAW and see how well this camera is for traveling and documentaries.

@davidwurtzel5198 Год назад

Great review! Would you mind sharing your auto focus settings? We’ve seen issues with how specific they can get - and are having trouble determining which is the best overall autofocus setting. Also wondering if you’ve had issues with the Z9 in NLog when hooked up to external monitors? We’ve found that small HD, osee, and atamos all have bad contrast shifts and color shifts over the HDMI out. Only while in NLog and HGL. Not in SDR oddly enough! 🤔 thank you!

@hitmanhart22 Год назад

You said it's not a review but you ended up making the best review of them all for the z9. I have this Camera for the last 7 months and it's absolutely the best in the current market.....

@RalphKoettlitz Год назад

This is a very polished non review. It's every time fun to watch the results of the professionalism of this team. Even the casual shots seem to be well prepared and arranged. The scenes are impressive. It's a great camera.

@djunabug Год назад

Love you guys! And you've captured and debayered the colors of Cape Town so beautifully! As a Nikon raw photographer, I'm starved for intel on raw video! Surely I'm not alone -- there's precious little out there! I'm commenting on Nikon's channels, too, begging them to sponsor more content on shooting, monitoring, importing and grading N-Raw. Please follow up with a pitch and get it done!

@ManyWaysFilms Год назад

Beautiful colors, very well done video! I'm glad a big RU-vidr is talking about Nikon in a positive note.

@MihaiCristianUrsa 10 месяцев назад

One thing that I have observed with my Z8 is that putting IBIS in Sport mode helps A LOT when handheld. I think normal mode is better for photos but not so much for video as it adds that stepping when you are moving around handheld. Try it in sport mode and see the difference, for me it is game changing.

@alexpott1893 Год назад

Great video! I been Nikon for so long hoping they would awaken from their video slumber and finally come out with something competitive. The Z9 is insanely good and you forgot to mention one of the biggest things I think is important - no overheating on the first version, no telling customers just to turn it off for 10min and then no versions with fat heatsinks and fans on the outside!!! I think that speaks volumes about commitment to quality. Only reason I have held off is because I shoot gymbal video and feel this thing is a bit heavy to mount to a Ronin - maybe with a body-rig.

@KobusGevelspar Год назад

It is heavy, true, but I shoot it on a gimbal a lot and it works fine. I use a side handle for better weight distribution. The AF is awesome to work with. The weight is actually really nice if you shoot handheld, in combination with the IBIS footage looks really good.

The one thing I do love about super high resolution is that I can watch this in 360p and it's still high quality. 4K footage, I still watch in 720p or 1080p depending on the bit rate. 360p looks like 1080p on a smartphone.

@f0t0b0y Год назад

Nikon has that color science of being really punchy/saturated but not forced or over saturated. Skin tones and overall look is gorgeous. But it’s a look that many art directors and artists don’t choose. Nikon has been sandwiched and marketed in the wrong direction for many years. I’ve been shooting for over 25 years. When I graduated college in 2000 I assisted pros for eight years, this is a practice not followed by many of todays “professionals”. In that timeframe, I would say 5% of the commercial photographers I assisted used Nikon when they weren’t shooting medium format, and in the last 10 years, I only know three working photographers that shoot Nikon and all three of them photograph weddings(not saying that as a negative statement). I don’t know a single working professional that uses Nikon for video work. Not even a hybrid shooter. I’m impressed that they are still in the mix.

@angeloplayforone Год назад

Weddings videograpphers and photographers are the biggest pro around the world.

@GuyThomsonVideography Год назад

I think the poppy positive colours really worked for this travel / commercial film. Probably not to my personal taste but not to say they couldn't be graded differently.

@nordfresse Год назад

I am curious to see what other 8k video options are going to come out this year. Guessing a Lumix S1H II or a Pocket 8k... But Nikon hasnt gotten nearly enough praise for this Z9. Only thing it is missing I feel is the recording option to ssd via usbc, which should be a no brainer with 8k60 RAW....

Sport mode is best for video stabilization if you're doing any camera movement. For absolutely static shots, normal mode is ok.

You are right! I haven't been able to find enough videos of Nikon Z9! Would you be able to compare it with Sony a7sIII or FX6? Many come from the Sony side. I personally found that the Nikon Z9 (maybe due to sensor size) and its lenses seemed to make colors and people 'pop' out, looking 3D.

Great stuff ! I’m on the fence about sending all my Sony gear back and moving to z9 to use as a hybrid, I’m curious why only Nikon users are using the da Vinci software and not the typical premier or after effects? Will these files not work with other software

@priyankbhadkamkar Год назад

Lovely footage! I have a question. You mentioned about your workflow of Premiere -> Da Vinci -> Premiere. What codec format did you export from Da Vinci before importing in PP for final export. Does this lower any quality considering you export the footage 2 times. One in DaVinci and Final in Premiere.

@Andyax Год назад

Hi. We exported with GoPro CineForm codec from DaVinci to not loose any quality. That worked well :)

Superb Andy, RU-vid really knows how to read my mind. I was just thinking of checking out one of your videos. Z9 seems fantastic. Other than the IBIS, I think it's pretty close to the Canon R5C in specs, and perhaps has some better features. On another note, would love to hear your opinion (in a different video) on the budget anamorphic options that have cropped up through the past few years (Sirui, Great Joy, Laowa, Moment etc) :)

Or go out and shoot. Every location has to be dialed in. Nikon like Red is best when you just control not over exposing. If you use VND that is best to control and then you can still shoot wide open to get DOF.
