Tony & Chelsea Northrup review the new full-frame mirrorless camera, the Nikon Z II, against the best DSLR ever made: The Nikon D850. They compare handling, comfort, focusing, sports, wildlife, portraits, travel, landscapes, battery life, and more!
Re: Z7 focus tracking. We're totally aware that subject tracking can be assigned to one of the fn buttons on the front of the camera, but (as we point out in the video) we find those buttons more difficult to press than the dual back-button configuration on the D850.
The D850 isn't at all outdated. This is new gear hype, making incredible gear seem out of step. I love so many things about my D810 and D850. Both produce perfect images, and both have awesome battery life. Spend your money on education. These fantastic cameras are not the limiting factor in getting awesome images, in fact, neither camera creates images. They just record what you envision, and that's where the magic is.
Seriously, if a pro can’t take excellent pictures with any modern camera, the fault is NOT with their equipment. Look behind the camera.
Cameras shouldnt be judged on how good the video is! If video is really so important then buy a proper video camera. The main reason people buy cameras is to take photos, the video is just a novelty feature that I bet most people wouldnt be bothered about if it wasnt on the camera. I'd prefer more ''photo'' technology in the camera and just ditch the video altogether. I Film my ladies football teams games, no way could I do it with either of those cameras. My Panasonic 4k camcorder is brilliant, light, easy to use and makes videos far better than any digital camera. Seems like camera makers are moving more away from what 'most' people buy a camera for which is basically to take photos. Your review would of been much better if you'd of included a bigger selection of photos from both cameras taken day and night time.
The placement of those buttons on Z7 II is one of the MOST IDIOTIC design "solutions" I have ever seen (I'm in photography nearly 50 years now).
I’m riding my D500 into the ground
One of the biggest things that keep me using my D850 is the optical viewfinder. As an Astrophotographer having that optical view is essential. It’s still one of the greatest drawbacks of mirrorless cameras.
I knew this was coming sooner or later. Every CZcams camera channel is jumping onto the mirrorless bandwagon. Channels are all starting to parrot the same stuff these days 🦜
I wish they would not put Video on DSLRs, it would drop the Price a bit, and if I want to do Video, I could buy a Video Recorder
Why don't you use H+ mode for animals or sport photography? You don't have any blackouts there. I'm not your opinion: If you use H+ and the correct autofocus mode (like subject tracking), the Z7 II can absolutely deal with the D850 at moving subjects. Maybe it's even better.
why does my keh commercial keep getting interrupted?
I have two D850's for my wedding business here in the UK. Having bought my first 35mm Nikon FA in 1985 I consider the D850 to be the best DSLR ever made. I won't be shelling out any money on the mirrorless system and it's lenses any time soon, as there is absolutely nothing that would make any real significant difference to a professional photographers technique or workflow at a wedding by using the Z7II. Fancy focusing systems, when you know what your doing are irrelevant. FPS above and beyond 5 or 6 are irrelevant at weddings too.
I have watched you two since before I bought my D7200 3 years ago as my entry into Wildlife and landscape photography.
I'll hang onto my D850 for a while longer. I'm sure in the years to come I'll consider their mirrorless system more seriously. Great video!
My wife has been a working photographer for years and she’s made a very good living with Nikon full frame (and cropped frame years ago) professional cameras. This was a great discussion piece and I loved the reviews. I’d love to try this out versus our d3s and d6 and see how the mirrorless camera performed in a real working environment.
Had to listen to
Thanks for the comparison T & C. My Z7ii, a 14-30 f/4, a 24-70 f/2.8 and a vertical grip on pre-order/backorder. Ready to sell my D810 and all F lenses to KEH!
Thumbs up button mashed on the THICC graphic.
I love that you went to Mystic Seaport... I was a maritime painter back in the 80's and getting my work in that gallery was a high-point for me. I dropped my D4 and D4s bodies for two Z7II bodies, I figured it's time I commit to mirrorless, and the weight difference alone is so strange in the hand. I could carry these around all day and they take up so little space in the gear bag. The Z Lenses are absolutely excellent, I'm keeping my old F-mount lenses as backups. Thanks for all you do! Oh, one more thing I like about the Z7II, I don't like to wear my glasses and I can preview images through the viewfinder and verify quality. With the D bodies, I had to put my glasses on and look at the back of the camera to pixel peep.
I love watching you two. You are both so refreshing to watch. Keep up the great work!
