    I have been a Nikon user for decades. Though I get to use some of the finest Cameras, the cameras that I own still are Nikons. Here in this video, I talk about why Nikons make some of the best cameras in the world. And yes, also makes the best DSLR ever.

      @AP Studios the Z9 is probably the first Nikon Mirrorless camera that I see is capable of outshining my D500. I'm hoping for a crop sensor version of the Z9 but if it doesn't come, I'll be happy with my D500 for some time to come. It was ahead of its time when it was released which has led to its longevity.

    @viveksathish Před 2 lety +19

    Your impression is spot on and completely resonated with me. I moved away from the Canon ecosystem to Nikon back in the day for the exact same reasons that your correctly pointed out in your video. Of course the Canons were amazing and great and did the job really well however, the way the Nikons feel in the hand was something else. The build, the tactile feedback, their menu layout and ergonomics was on point. Their colour science was fantastic too. I still have a couple of basic Nikon bodies just for old times sake. I’ve now moved on to the Sony ecosystem as its more appropriate for what I do which is primarily motorsport and action and at the time of switching, Sony had the superior AF system as well as high fps. Having said that, the Sony never gives me that feel and sense of reliability that Nikons gave. The Nikons were built like a tank and was very confidence inspiring while working out there under various conditions. I have picked up a Nikon D850 many times at the store and chickened out as I couldn’t justify the purchase. I’m sure it will make it to my kit at some point. It’s probably the best and most satisfying modern camera ever built!

    I loved this video, I have had many Nikon cameras over the past 8 years. The D850 was definitely my favorite. I recently retired it and gave it to a couple that couldn't afford a good camera. Afterward, I thought "Oh my God, I gave away the wrong camera" I have now replaced it with a x7 which I hope will be a good replace"

    Is nobody going to mention the D750 I adore that camera, built to last like anything else from Nikon but it feels amazing works without a flaw and is quite cheap these days. I have used everything from the D700, D3, D3s, D5, D800e, D810, D500, D850 but I always love to come back to my D750. Love the feel it has and the color reproduction is incredible, I don’t think I'll ever sell that camera.
    I also have to mention the skin tones Nikon cameras produce, can't be matched by any other manufacturer period.

    Excellent vid... to think that my first 'pro' digital camera, which I personally bought, was the Nikon D100 - highest MP at the time at 6MP! I used to shoot weddings on that thing and it never gave up... still have it someplace in a box! I bought that one in about 2000/21 or perhaps in 2002. Prior to that I used to shoot with D1 cameras and they were only about 2 or 3 MP! I have actually not taken shots on film since about 2000 for my professional work. Amazing really when I think about it! I used to be in the British Army and my trade was photography. They used to provide everything Nikon and we were some of the very first users of digital... great fun and it goes back to somewhere about 1995 when we started to be issued those cameras. Just before we got the Nikon D1 cameras, a few of us in my trade, actually had a Kodak (I forget the model) which used the Nikon F mount - it was something like 12 MP as I recall. Way before its time in fact and cost something in the +£25,000 mark! An absolute pile of carp it was and soon became redundant.
    You are quite correct that the D3, then the D850 really were moments in time - now the Z9 seems to be another D3 moment it would seem. As is usual, Nikon comes good in the end... whilst all else are about the scream, Nikon really is the cream.
    Time to sell the missus and buy a Z9 me thinketh!

    Nice video. I've been shooting with Nikon cameras since the late 1970's. My first Nikon was an FM with motor drive. Then an F2AS in it's last year of production followed by an F3. Used those 2 the F3 and F2AS for a decade or more. Then sold them and got an N90 (F90 for the rest of the world) in the mid/late 90's. Shot with that Camera till 2006. Especially loved the matrix balanced fill flash with the SB25. Sold that off along with my lenses due to a medical issue and didn't pick up a SLR camera (film or digital) until recently when I finally got back on my feet financially and I bought an entire used D850 (7700 shots on it) system with various Lenses, Flashes, battery grip and other accessories. Could not be happier. What a Camera. To tell you the truth I wish I'd never sold that F2AS. The F3 was the workhorse the F2AS was my baby my first truly professional grade camera and was still in mint condition when I sold it. I hope the D850 will bring me as much enjoyment in my return to photography as did those old film Cameras.

    The D3, D3s and D3x were all professional grade bodies. The difference between the D3s and D3x is that the D3s (12mp) was made as an all round professional camera.e.g. Sports, Events, Wildlife and Photojournalism. While the D3x has a larger sensor(24.5mp) and was directed at pro photogs that did more studio and landscape photography, which required producing larger prints.

    I really, really enjoyed your story and video. I am an amateur photographer and started with a Pentax in the film days however my first DSLR was a Nikon D70 in early 2003 I believe. I really enjoyed “as you explain” the feel and layout of my Nikon DSLR’s. Being an amateur I haven’t owned as many cameras as you however my current camera is a Nikon D500 and I have owned a few others (all Nikon) over the years. You explain so accurately why I have stayed with Nikon. Their cameras just feel right to me and the layout is just so familiar each time I use a Nikon body. I am not a person who jumps from camera to camera or manufacturer to manufacturer on a whim or because of something being the latest or greatest. You explain the feelings around camera ownership so accurately and well. I stumbled across your video and really enjoyed it. I will continue to watch your videos in the future. There is something about Nikon cameras that have kept me with this brand. It is the feel of the camera and also the way Nikon produces and feels about their products that keep me coming back to them. Hard to explain but you do a great job.

    I completely agree with you: I have the same feeling with my Nikon f2-n since 1992 and now the D5300 since 2018.
    There are better cameras: maybe but I'd be worried to have it under the rain when I'm shooting rugby. A full frame would be great but would require a lens double of the size and I shoot free hand.
    The perfect camera is the one gives you just everything you need and the feeling at the same time because we're not just business people, we shoot for passion and love too.
    Thank you for your videos, you're always great to follow!

    Never used (and have no intention of using), a mirrorless camera. I have always liked large, heavy camera bodies. I had the D700 (with the vertical grip), which is legendary for its color rendition. Wouldn't be surprised if the D700 and grip weigh as much as a Pentax 67. Now, I have the D3s, which far exceeds my level of photography. Love everything about it.

Also the large collection of nikon lenses i have acquired over the years and still use for there unique qualities are still compatible with all the M mount cameras.

    I'm 68 and have been a photographer for 50 years. My three favorite cameras of all time are the Canon F1, the Nikon D300 (my absolute favorite DSLR) and my Linhof 617s Technorama. I love cameras and these are my favorites.

      I could not agree more! Know of, but Not familiar with the Linhof. I always wanted to own the Canon, but it was out of my price range back in the day. I have a D300 still, and have to agree with you. Nikon had their ‘MoJo’ back then, and I feel they slowly lost it. NO other camera felt like the D300 in my hands, not even the D500, which I also own. I still use it and shoot it, for pleasure only. Great comment! Take care and happy shooting!

      @@milesian1 Really now? Curious. I’m not about to tell someone what they feel or don’t feel is wrong, but you might want to revisit that? Your comment seems to be a bit on the defensive side? Notice both of my comments, and the fact I did not say anything against the D700. I own both, and I can tell you there IS a difference. Two different cameras. The grip on the D300 is much better. Like I said in my comment, it is about the best feeling grip I’ve ever come across. After getting used to my new D500 now, I venture to say it IS better than the D300.
      Not saying the D700 has a poor grip, but it is NOT the same. My fingers have less room on my D700, than on the D300. My fingers feel cramped, when wrapped around the grip and have no space between ends of fingers and the body. And I keep a battery grip attached to the D700.
      This is a very subjective thing, and everyone will have their own opinion, and how they relate to a particular camera. Of course, YMMV. Peace

    Best Nikon DSLRs and no mention of D700? By far this is one of Nikon's greatest. Have shot with many of Nikon's but none has the soulfulness of the D700. Yes, it has the same 12.1 mp sensor as in D3 but the way the images are processed in D700 are different. The Color, the Contrast, The grains are simply amazing.

    Very good sum up of your DSLRs, thank you. I'm only an amateur but I use an old D3s and I really enjoy using that old beast. It rains a lot in my town Bergen Norway, but this camera is suited for "rainy" shots, so to say. It's waterproof and handles the rain well, yes my only concern are my old lenses. I don't need the new and fast ones for my photography so the old gear suites me were well, taking only one shot at the time! But yes, I'd like a D850 and hopefully the release of the Z9 now will make many professional photographers to change from the D850 to the Z system. That will benefit amateurs like me! Thank's again! :)

I still like this camera I shoot now with D780, it's awesome. I was going to get the 850 but it is a bit heavier and I wanted to use a heavy 70-200 lens.

    A very good morning Sir - from the middle of Minnesota (USA),
    Absolutely excellent / professional presentation! You are a complete "natural" in front of the camera. I just discovered / subscribed to your channel this AM. I am currently 73 years old (chronologically / physically but not maturationally - I think that remains at around 18-22 years of age having matured during the fabulous 1960's and just preferring that frame of mind).
    I first fell in love with Nikon in approximately 1967 following the purchase of a Nikon F. This was followed by the Nikon F Photomic FTN, Nikomat (Japanese market and spelling), Nikkormat, Nikon F5 and a few other brands for a while and then back to Nikon with the Nikon D1X, D2X, D3X, and ending with the illustrious D850 (all of which I still own).
    So I'm quite pleased to note I have all the cameras recommended by you in this terrific video.
    I'm really looking forward to viewing all of your other videos.
    Thank you!
    All the very best to you and yours in the upcoming New Year,

    and one w/a Nikon DX 35mm f1.8.
    That way you never have to change lenses. or think about different camera control set ups - result is 1- D7000 w/ a 52mm....and 1 - D7000 w/ a 30mm that is even better than 28mm for being the perfect focal length for general photography.. yeah you can always get a 3rd D7000 for a telephoto.
