    Wow so much hate in the comments for Nikon and the mark IIs...they addressed all the naysayers' "problems" and people STILL have issues? Do you *really* need 4k 60 internal?
    People are just finding excuses to just bash on nikon, seems like the popular thing to do nowadays.
    Here's some things nikon does that the "competition" (hint: begins with S) still hasn't quite nailed - ergonomics and UI. The Zs are just plainly nice to hold and shoot. They're designed for ease of use. Can you really say the same for the other mirrorless brand?
    I won't be upgrading to the mark II from my Z6 purely for the fact that I don't need to for my purposes...Z6 is still a fantastic cam for what I use it for! But still rooting for them since they're a legacy company still making great glass (but perhaps lacking in their marketing department!)

      ​@@pgsanta Of course it's behind Sony in some respects, this is a second generation mirrorless versus Sony at generation four. I tried the A7II and frankly it was bad, with weird color and compression artifacts in RAW files; maybe the III and IV models are improved but I'm happy with the Z6. Personally, as someone who has shot with Canon for a number of years before moving to primarily Nikon, I find the better dynamic range and more accurate color science in the Nikons preferable to the Sonys (similar DR, worse color, worse video) and Canon (poor DR, traditionally better AF but honestly not much, every video mode is a compromise). There are arguments for each system but the Nikons offer more consistency in the lens lineup, top of the line video with RAW recording, lenses with no focus breathing or aberrations, and all at lower price points than the competition. I would say they're doing it right.

      Agreed. It makes more sense for those getting into the system and those wanting to add additional bodies. It doesn't make as much sense as a straight upgrade. And that's OK. I wish Nikon did a little more, but hopefully this will be enough to maintain their share if not increase it slightly. The pricing is at least competitive and makes for a compelling option even with the latest competition.

    Hey Kai, great video, very interesting preview of the two cameras. One question at 3:45 you say the Z7 II is a 1.1x crop at 4K 60 and the Z II is a DX crop at 4K 60, s that definitely the case? If so, would you argue that Nikon has flipped the video focussed camera from the Z6 to Z7 - as I believe there was more of a crop on the Z7 than Z6 initially - unless I'm getting my wires majorly crossed?

    • @ghas4151

      Just curious, assuming they were identical, can you really see yourself holding a DSLR out in front of you like a mobile phone?
      If you used a Z6, or any decent mirrorless camera, for a week, I doubt you'd want to go back. Seeing the image in the EVF, the histogram, the full data you don't get in an OVF is something you can't give up once you've had it.
      Mirrorless cameras are so customisable that you can access more settings from the body (as distinct from going to menus) than you can on a DSLR and more easily. You can also see the subject in much lower light.
