If you're in the market for a new Nikon Full Frame FX Camera and you're not sure what the differences are, this video is for you. Even though Nikon has more than four full frame cameras on the market currently, I only consider these four to be the ones I would purchase new. The Nikon Z7, Z6, D850 and D5. The Nikon D750 which is a fantastic camera is on it's last legs and lacks some modern features. The Nikon Df, well, yea, that was DOA.

I can see myself picking up a D850 in the future as a collection item. It's the last great DSLR.
Then came the D780.
@@paulchristopher7817 well...yes but no! D850 will go down in history as the "last" greatest DSLR of all time.
@@Apaleutos24 1dx mk iii??? Unless you mean in a more symbolic way ofc-
I got a D850 less than a week ago after spending days on end just comparing and weighing different options. It was a very difficult decision with all the great Nikons in the market right now and with the mirrorless market boom that we saw in 2018.
Even though I agree that mirrorless is the future, but I thought that I’d still be more comfortable going with the D850. The Z6 especially seems like a great camera, but I decided to skip this generation and maybe the next before I jump into Nikon mirrorless. I am a hobbyist and I don’t make money out of photography, so to be an early adopter and taking risks and dealing with the shortcomings of a first generation mirrorless is a big risk for me. Had I bought one of the new cameras, and regretted my decision afterwards, I won’t have the ability to rectify it in a short amount of time, so I decided to go with the true and tested D850.
Thanks for the excellent reviews and videos Jared.
fantastic ....you done yourself a great job....keeping in mind the mirror less is the future and is coming along great...so worth the wait.....
I got my D850 in Jan. last year. Back then the Z6/7 were no option, but anticipated. I chose to go with the D850 instead of waiting, because I knew: Nikon (or Canon) will have a hard time to compete with what Sony does and their first steps will - although not childish - be still in need for evolution. Now with both of them out, I am not sorry for going D850! Since I have no use in Video (I still do TimeLapse), the D850 is the more reliable solution. She does so many things right and combines almost everything I can wish for.
Almost? Well, EVF and IBIS are things to concider. They are fantastic to have and help you to get the shots you want. Switching from EVF to OVF was noticable for me, but actualy I got it working quite well. D850's light metering is good and the settings are quite flexible, giving me the results I want.
Personaly, most of the time I shoot with: Aperture Priority, Easy Exposure Compensation On (mostly +1,3 or +1.7), Highlight-Metering, Auto ISO (set to 64 up to 6400) with minimum Shutter Speed set to faster (one over double the focal length). 90% that gets me good results without any other changes, just like that. Can't say I miss EVF for exposure too much - but sure for other features.
Would I switch to a Z down the road? I would have to look at Z7Mk2 or Z7Mk3 first to decide that, because I already am quite happy with my D850. Also I am very disappointed with Nikons Lens Road Map, which means the body would have to be that much better to convince me. Nikon would have to fix issues like banding, card slots, battery grip, etc first in order to be on par with their D850. So for the moment, no, I'm not concidering it.
Good thinking in my opinion.
In 10 years when they perfect mirrorless I'll get one. Until then I'll keep my D850.
You have verbatim put my thoughts about which Nikon to buy...Kudos!!!!
I choose D850 and Z6
Dynamic Duo, complete each other
steve blow that’s what I have hahaha
The perfect combo!
you can’t do that, that just cheated and made the perfect camera
steve blow ok fatcat!
I will be fine with that two dslr
@12:25 nikon z6 and z7 listing has been shuffled?? editing mistake?
I'm a pro d850 shooter that was either going to get a second d850 as a backup, or jump into one of the mirrorless Z's, as I believe these types of cameras are the future. I thought and thought, and settled on a Z6, mostly because I do a lot of work in very low light and thought it would improve my work on the d850 in those particular situations. After a couple shoots I've learned a few things:
1. I was shooting the Z series totally comfortably on the first day. If you are a Nikon DSLR shooter, these cameras and their controls will feel incredibly familiar in your hands - bravo to Nikon for that. The EVF, something I've never liked before on other cameras, was incredibly crisp and wonderful to use.
2. On the Z6, in the very low light situations which I got the camera for, I was disappointed in the image quality compared to what I've become used to from the d850. Even at reasonable ISO's, the quality and amount of the noise is significantly worse. I was able to get images looking good in time, but with WAY more post production than the d850 images required. If I was comparing the performance in very low light between the d850 and the Z6, I would give the nod to the d850 for sure.
3. In more normal light situations, shooting the Z6 is a total blast, and the images were fantastic. But, as one would expect with the different sensors, they do not compete with the d850 when you look at fine detail. That said, when adjusting for the difference in camera cost, I think the Z6 will make many people incredibly happy. The images were great.
4. I thought I would just use it for low light, but I loved the ergonomics of shooting it so much I want to use it all the time, but for me the Z6 wasn't enough. I've realized that as a d850 snob, the Z6 doesn't have the chops for me to continue owning. So, tomorrow I'm taking it back and getting the Z7 - essentially identical sensor to the d850, with all the joy of shooting this small, wonderful to use, mirrorless package. Excited!
Jimmy Hayes great read. So how’s the Z7 after a week?
@@themondoshow Well, haven't taken it through a full shoot yet, but in all my test shots I've been thrilled with the resolution as compared to the Z6, both at lower and higher ISO's in studio conditions. At this early stage, it has probably surpassed my expectations in terms of picture quality. Knowing how much I liked the ergonomics form my spell with the ergonomically identical Z6, I remain very optimistic!!
Could you put in such comments regarding Z7 too? Thanks in advance
Nabarun Majumdar Unfortunately I don’t have the time to go too deep into it now, but I’m finding that I don’t ever reach for the Z7 over the 850. I still find that there is an unappealing quality to the very fine noise in the photos that I don’t get with my 850 - mostly in the color detail. It’s a nit picky thing, but it keeps me from using the camera much at all. At this point, I would say that Id much rather have bought a second 850. Since I’m using my f-mount lenses on the ftz adapter, there is not much benefit realized from the smaller size of the camera body.. The Z7 with my sigma art 1.4 50 is still a big heavy rig... I plan to try a Z mount lens or two and hopefully that improved the fine detail, because the only other thing i can think of that might be causing the slightly lackluster performance is the adapter... I’d say it could be my technique, but my photos on the 850 are tight.. hope that helps.
Jimmy Hayes thanks for the valuable information...i am myself primarily a wildlife and secondarily a landscape photographer, hence was is serious trouble opting for the 850 or the Z7 (z7 providing far better autofocus capabilities in theory but the noise and other factors are a big concern for me actually)
I just bought a D750 as my first full frame camera. For $1300 on amazon you can't beat it. should be an excellent upgrade from my D3300.
Jonathon Hurley I also have the D3300 and wondering if I should go for a D750 or directly to D850.
@@GeraldineJulie1 I also have the D3300 but i'm looking for the Z6. Although I should sell almost all my APS-C gear
Good starter camera but the problem is with high ISO... even 6400 seems grainy.
FOR SURE
@@GeraldineJulie1 not the d850. Unless you know what you are doing its a gigantic jump
Excellent and comprehensive video for the rapidly changing camera technology. I sold my D5 and kept my D850 and I also purchased the Z6. I am a stills shooter and video is not an issue. The lack a a real battery grip is even more of an issue for me than only having one XQD card slot. Overall I think that Nikon did a pretty good job for the first generation mirrorless Z6. I have done some low light dance performances with my Z6 and I was pleasantly surprised. I used the low light AF function (-4 EV) with both auto area and dynamic area AF and I found this to be close to the low light auto focus capabilities of my DSLRs. Having image and exposure preview in the Z6 before the shot is a huge advantage over DSLRs for rapidly changing live theater lighting without using flash! I am now shooting my D850 when I am using a speedlight and my Z6 primarily for ambient light like live dance performances. Not having a full functioning battery grip is a big minus though. The D850 just works better for me when when I am shooting indoor and outdoor events with fill flash. One thing that Nikon simply must do is to issue periodic firmware updates for the Z6 and Z7 and to not rest on their laurels. Some of the weakness of their new mirrorless cameras can be fixed with firmware updates. I won't purchase another Nikon camera until they release the professional mirrorless camera (Z9?) with professional functionality and features. The D6 would be fine for professional sports photographers in the short term but not for the rest of us in the long term.
I do mostly landscape photography. What I like about the Z7 is the custom configurability of it’s controls and screen (vs. my D750). As a tool, it enables me to do capturing techniques like focus stacking and multi-exposures faster and easier. The EVF enables better focusing during low light sunrise/sunset situations ... like a night scope.
I weighed all my options and thought it better to buy the "last DSLR" than the first [Nikon] mirrorless...
I think that's the best option!!!
Smart move
Weak
ET someones jealous
But in 2020 mirror less are going well and have more capabilities as campare to the DSLR cameras
Jared, after watching about 6 of your video's on the Z7, Z7ii, Z6ii and Z6, I learned so much that I knew what I needed commensurate with my skills and my desire, AND my wallet, so I just ordered the Z6 with 2 lens, and a lens attachment to enjoy my F4s camera lenses again. That is so exciting and I appreciate the enormous skill and findings you share in your video's. Thank you!
For years I waited to buy a professional camera and finally choose the D850. Its robust and love the body. Mirrorless came out right after but I’m still happy with my D850. Maybe in 5 years I will go mirrorless but am quite happy now. Something new always comes out later so why jump just cause mirrorless came out. It may be the future but the future lays changes. Let them perfect it and in 5+ years I will buy and have 2 Great cameras. I bet my 850 will still be working and may even be a collectors item one day!
Lucky if DSLR camera will last 10 years.
At least I will get my moneys worth. When I do upgrade it will be worth the $ and updates on a mirror will be more advanced. I don’t like chasing upgrades year after year.
It’s been 4 years now, any update?
@@Rocky-eq3ng Nope. Still love the D850. Let me see what is out there now.
I'm a hybrid person and have a D500. Z6 is calling my name for my first full frame.
@@PocketDelicious Your 5600 has only one card slot, similar to the Z6. This to me is only a factor if you would be missing that with already owning a two card slot camera. The reason I like my D500 is because of two card slots Nothing else really stood out over the Z6 that I would keep my D500 for. Better battery life maybe.
Sedric Beasley half Siri?
@@PocketDelicious What do you call "Nikon mirrorless issues"? I also have a D5600 and think of upgrading to the mirrorless world, still at Nikon. So going full frame will be on the table.
Jason Persilver trust me you want full frame. i also own the d500 with some fancy lensen and its phenomenal - but
you gotta get the FX
I'll take the D5 thank you, I just need someone to give me the money to pay for it.
I’m currently using the d850 and had a D4s. For my needs the D850 is perfect. The dynamic range is crazy close to a medium format.
I was super exited to buy the Z 6, but ended up going with D500 and 200-500mm lens. I love everything the mirrorless Z 6 offers, but I realized I need a crop sensor to get that extra distance with my wildlife photography. A D5, or D850, would be good too, but their prices are still too expensive, even used.
You could have used the Z6 with a DX lens to get that crop. Plus the full frame censor in the Z6 allows you to crop in manually in post if you want to get that exact frame you want. Essentially it gives you more control over the end product. But it comes down to user preference a lot for sure. I have a Z6 and I do have one DX lens that I got brand new for roughly $300 and it zooms in like crazy far.
Hi Jared. Great video. I am old school and still love my Nikon D4s with my older Nikkor D lenses. It serves my needs and is built like a tank.
me too ! I love my Nikon d4s and d5 ! the news toys can not compare with pro dslr !
Really great video, nice to see them put side by side with all the specs. Really helpful, thanks.
This was the best comp video I saw you make, explaining what camera gives you what you need in combo with what you shoot, much better then the "mark comp videos.
Well done. I see your earlier skepticism on mirrorless has given way to enthusiasm.
Okay, you firmed my decision to get the Z6. Nice comparison!
This is a great comparison and pros & cons video. Thank you for the exceptional quality of all your videos and their content.
Nikon D750 with a Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 G2. Nikon D500 with a Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 G2. Best cost / performance / weight scenario.
@@PocketDelicious same lol
Jared, This is an excellent eye-opening review, thanks !
Thank you FRO! I love everything you’re doing. Your content is fantastic - always has been (except when you 1st started but I think you were in college 😂)
All jokes aside, thank you thank you thank you.
its not about having the best or the latest greatest cameras/lenses.. Its about going out and shoot with whatever you have.
Mega Color yup, but sooner or later it’s you nice match the gear with the skill level to really break the envelope wide open.
In part you are right but technology has paved the road for better functionality. One such thing is the auto eye focus and focus points across the lens. The z line camera and lenses let you do that. Its a plus for portraits.
This is true, if you’re not a professional and still learning.
It quickly gets outdated when you have clients up on your ass and you have to deliver quality images.
Different situations require different gear.
Hey bud, just wanted to say it's funny how youtube works....usually, the most knowledgeable ones have the fewest subscribers, not that 1 million subs isn't amazing (congrats btw) but the amount of content and the thoroughness of the content you produce is outstanding and should have 20 times the subs! Really appreciate all you do......
Thanks, Pat
He does quality stuff..
I own all these cameras. With the Z I find myself fighting to acquire proper focus in many situations where my DSLRs nails it, this is the biggest drawback to the Z.
I need a camera that focuses above anything else otherwise, all the bells and whistles of a mirrorless are mute. The video aspect is so clearly superior in the Z mirrorless I appreciate Nikon addressing that area. More than most I wished Nikon had "reinvented mirrorless" the sad truth is Nikon did not - Hype vs Vision. Jared, Thanks for your opinion and appreciate your enthusiasm - I been with Nikon since the Minolta XD11 days when I switched over and probably be with Nikon for life.
That was awesome. Thank You. Also, I enjoyed the "brick" portion. I'm redesigning a course for the college I work at, and you helped me with my argument with why we should look at purchasing mirrorless cameras.
This video really helped me figure out what body I want to purchase next. Thank you!
D5 - over 3700 shots with one charge and has a fantastic build and huge buffer. You're not missing any shots with it and it's built to last.
Great video comparing the Nikon cameras... Love it!
Very helpful video in deciding what camera I need to buy next.
Awesome video thank you I ordered my z6 :) thank a lot Jared
I've been using a Z7 for several months, and now a Z6, and I have barely used my D850/D810/D800 since. These Z-cameras are amazing, with features like in-body image stabilization (IBIS), edge-to-edge AF points, live image preview, live histogram in the viewfinder, silent shooting, extreme lens sharpness, a lack of chromatic aberrations, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built in (with SmartPhone and PC/Mac connectivity), 10-bit 4K 4:2:2 N-Log video, and a much lighter weight. In fact, since I've been using the Nikon Z-cameras, my DSLRs now feel bloated and heavy. I agree with Jared on this one.
Got D850 + D5. Wonderful pair.
This was an amazing video thumbs up all the way, I am new into camera footage and opens up a lot of ideas and things I want as far as shooting videos and pictures.
Good info and well delivered z6 guy Thank you for your work helping me.
Thanks Jared you are amazing, I've been debating for the last few months on which camera to buy.. D850 or Z7 but with your help I think I'm going to save go for the Z6 and invest in a new lens..
Hey Jared. I stepped up from the D5300 to the Z6 at Christmas with the 35mm 1.8 S lens. So far that's the only lens I've had on it even though I do have the FTZ adapter. I am very happy with the Z6 image quality for stills.
Got the D850 and love it! High resolution cameras don’t pardon mistakes! Thanks to this camera I had to step my game up and be careful about the details because this camera retains everything and every detail! My next will probably be a Z7 or other future mirrorless camera!
I'm currently using a D700 which I love. Only one card slot hasn't been a problem for me, although I'm well aware it is a risk. It does fill the buffer quite quickly though, and then stop taking pictures for what feels like an eternity as it empties, so it would be nice not to have that problem. The fact it's "only" 12 megapixels is fine too - the files aren't too big given I shoot all raw all the time, and so long as I compose decently it's not really lacking in detail, so I think it's a sweet spot. A better autofocus system and better high-ISO performance would be nice though. Other than that and the buffer issue I see no need to upgrade really, not for my purposes
Great video... it really helped me narrow down which one to buy
Hello Jared!
Memory card have a write speed.
And what is the maximum write speed which the camera can record on the card? Is it correct to calculate this way: FPS * Raw file size in megabytes? Will there be enough card with a recording speed of 150mb per second for a Nikon Z6 to get the maximum speed for continuous shooting?
Thx. in advance
these videos are the best. i've been struggling with this decision and i think i would still go with the d850 if i had to but i decided for mirrorless full frame, i'm going with sony a7r3. still this answered a lot of questions.
Hi Jared
I really thank your for your videos. I would like to have your advices concerning the choice of a mirrorless.
I have a d750 and i want to switch to z6 or z7. I am doing portraits and landscape photography.
Someone adviced me to wait for the z6 MK2. But i gess it will not Come soon. Then Z6 or Z7?
Thanks a lot
An excellent review of 4 different cameras. It truly helped me understand the various features of all these cameras which can get quite confusing and over whelming for an amateur photographer like me. Thank you for this review and explanation.
Jared, your videos are great, Man! Always! Always very informational, informative, helpful, fun, etc. Sincerely, I appreciate all of the effort/time you put into making these videos (with help of course). It helps me out a lot!
I've been out of the photography game for a while, sold most of my Nikon equipment, but am thinking about getting back in and was unsure and apprehensive of these new mirrorless cameras. But after this video, I gotta say, I feel pretty comfortable with taking on a mirrorless (I'm thinking the Z6). The great auto-focus of mirrorless and quality of video (with silence) are very enticing features for myself, and you being so excited about them does instill confidence in myself as a former enthusiast.
I'm gonna have to check it out ;)
Ive decided after sending my Canon 70D in for recall repair, I will NEVER purchase another Canon product. If your not a pro, they treat you as if you dont matter. They had my camera OVER a MONTH before sending me an estimate for a DIFFERENT repair and cleaning, NOT the recall work, it was ignored. So when I called, they tried to sell me an 80D and told me it was a FULL FRAME camera, which it is NOT. She was very pushy and cared more about selling me ANYthing (even tho she didnt know her product obviously) than repairing the camera I already have. Not to mention allowing my camera to sit OVER A MONTH before even READING the repair request enclosed. They tried to get out of doing the recall work, but would clean it and look at the focus issue that started with the 70/80 error message for a $250 charge. This is SUPPOSED to be a RECALL, NO CHARGE issue. Im disgusted with Canon. Theres NO possibility of speaking directly to the repair dept OR a Supervisor. Forget it. YOU DONT MATTER unless you are well known PROFESSIONAL
Thank you very much I’ve been looking like a crazy for the perfect camera for a few days now and nikon z6 kept my attention. So I’ve looked into it and watched many videos. I want something versatile as much as possible and this one is just perfect!!! Thank you for all these precious informations 👌
This helped me a lot! Thank you!
From what I have seen from your photos, you must live near me. Sweet! Nice to see a local photographer if it is true.
If you're just starting out with full frame, what about the D610? Still current and still a great camera, but can be picked up reasonably cheaply (well, much cheaper than a Z6) second hand. Small and light too.
Just bought the Z7 two days ago. Also have the D500 (my first camera) - I did a lot of sports photos! I won a Canon D6MII but it divided my on brands and therefore on lenses and after much study and deliberation, I opted for the Z7 with adapter ring. I opted for the Z7 because 1, I'm not a videographer but a portrait photog and I still have the D500 10fps. So now I have the megapixels, and the lighter weight and I think I'm going to be very happy for several years where I'm now set. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you... I was planning to buy a rumored D760 later this year.. But this video totally changed my mind. Thank you for the insightful video. Future is mirrorless.
Tonnes of helpful information from this video. Thank you 🙏
My D800e and D4 still kick butt! As a stills shooter, this combo is wonderful for a variety of use cases...even in 2019!
Steve Mattson I mean what have changed? Light hasn’t changed, people or animals or cars aren’t moving faster, so 2012 or 2019, it doesn’t matter when you use a camera, what matters are the skills of the person behind it.
I agree. But those aren't just your average older cameras. There is something special about both those cameras.
D800 series is timeless when it comes to stills
@@chillipompom5263 Totally agree...I prefer the output of my D800e's over that of my D850 (which I sold).
@@RodrigoAReyes95 Right on! I agree...I have found the greatest, most powerful variable in photography is light and how to manipulate it. You could have the newest, most expensive camera in the universe...but it is not worth anything unless you know how to compose, light, etc. I find the technological advances of today are amazing, but I am afraid the fundamentals are getting lost in the G.A.S. (Gear Aquisition Syndrome). :)
Doesn't the Z6 only shoot 12fps if its autofocus is locked or something of those lines?
D850. Dslr all the way. Very helpful video
Perpetuousdreamer92 Dude really ? Dslr are dead love my z7 and z6 I have both worlds killer
Sold those giant turds I was
A Sony shooter never again will I shoot with dslrs
I agree, I shoot wildlife and I cant see one of the little toy camera's holding up to the elements, plus I hate adapters.Long live the DSLR!

Thank you! Very useful video. I am still choosing between the Z6 and D850 since I do portraits and shoot videos. 🤔
Should I replace my d500 with the z6? I like everything about the d500 except the video focus when I'm filming my kids gymnastic.
Does the lag in the view finder on the z6 will make it difficult to take stills for sport action?
Did you ever make a video about which sensor format is best for certain situations?
If you know which format is right for you it's just a matter of price, comparing specs and trying cameras at a store.
But many people still think that a 35mm sensor is always an upgrade from an APS-C sensor even though the larger sensor might not always be the best choice.
For example, I take photos of animals, usually they are a bit further away. I would never choose a camera with a 35mm sensor for that. I would sacrifice the crop factor for low light performance that I don't need. I would have to carry a much heavier 150-600mm lens to get the same reach as my 100-400mm lens.
The D500 is still a pro camera even though it has "only" an APS-C sensor. But it doesn't have to hide behind the D5, it's just a camera for a different job.
Love your animated video's and frank comments!
Oh the research I've doing to make an upgrade, I hadn't even thought about mirrorless until a couple of months ago as a replacement for an F mount lens camera.........
Ordered the Z6+FTZ, selling my D610 but keeping my D810. To many F mount lenses to not keep both the D810 and Z6 and a working pair. Whats the worst that can happen, I sell it down the line.
I want to upgrade from D7500 to full frame and I'm tempted by the Z6. But, is it good for landscape?
I’m upgrading to a z6 today from my d5200, time to get in with the new and out with the old. So excited
I also have the D5200, it was a great affordable camera
I just bought a d850 because it takes the sharpest cleanest photos.
I own the D5, D850, D500 and have had the Z7. What he fails to mention is that with the D5 and D850 all of the controls are in the same location as previous high end Nikon pro level camera. The Z series cameras have different control layouts, so it is harder to switch between those cameras and the DSLR bodies and be able to 'just know' where the controls are without having to look. I can pick up my D5, D850, or D500 and it doesn't matter because all the controls are the same and in the same places. Not so for the Z series bodies. This makes it hard on long time Nikon users, like myself, who have memorized control locations and can just pick up a body and shoot. For action photographers, being able to change controls while still shooting and not having to stop to look, is a big deal.
Do you prefer the D5 or D850? I shoot motorsport and drag racing. Having a hard time picking what I want, I love the idea of the iso on the D5 and the ability to have extremely clear night shots (from low MP) but I’m worried the D850 will be too slow to catch some of the shots I want on raw files.
I own a D500 and I shoot sports, mostly basketball in low light. Would I be able to shoot with the D850 as I'm able to with my D500?? I love the 3D focusing system, but do they work the same??
@@MPHshootsReviews D850 as good as D5 in low light with Z6ii being better still. D5 is known to have better AF than D850.
I just purchased a Z6 (based on your video ;-) and a 200-500 5.6. So, both the body and the lens have image stabilization. Is it ok to leave both turned on, or will they fight each other?
could DSLRs get the focusig system from the mirrorless added in together with the normal DSLR focus system. which means when youre focusing through the viewfinder it is the same as always, but when on live view, the DSLR acts exactly like a mirrorless just without the viewfinder?
Love. I made my decision based on this video! Buying the Z6 and 850!
How about the d810
D850/D5 same tech as d5 or d850 with 30 mp camera? would that be D750? with same sensor and focal points as d5/850
1:22 anyone know where I can find that Nikon z hat?
Great video. Solid information presented in an entertaining way. There's just one important I miss and this is dynamic range. How many stops of dynamic range do the cameras offer? How do the files handle when it comes to shadows and highlights recovery? For some reason, you don't seem to address this in any of your videos. Is there anything you can say about the dynamic range of the Z6 compared to Z7?
When will you be comparing sigma 70-200 sport to Canon or tamron g2?
thank you very much for that excellent info.. clear my mind.. very very good.!!!! thanks Fro.!!
Omg ! I just ordered a Nikon Z6 .. Cant wait to get it ! :)))))
Would you recommend?
Yes , definately, yes ! I love it ! 🙂
@jaredpolin sir you told in your video that #Nikon #zseries camera are best compare to DSLR but when I asked near the user they told me that results are flat there is no depth in the image I am very confused which one to buy DSLR or mirror less please help me I am planning to buy camera but still confused
I shoot a lot of landscapes in long exposure...so in live view ...mirrorless is essentially the same thing
I really want the d850 ...I’m not a fan of digital viewfinder
Does the adaptor used in the z series affect focal length if using an older lens...the adaptor is quite thick
Got a question and a request for some advice from Fro and anyone else reading this.
I have a D600 and a D800E looking to make the switch to mirrorless but can't decide whether to go completely and sell both my DSLRs or keep one and just replace the D600.
And if I go completely mirrorless I can't decide whether to get a Z6 and a Z7 or to just get two Z6's because I mainly shoot time-lapses with them the reason I have two cameras is to shoot two different scenes at the same time. I am interested in video and other still photography but like I say the may purpose will be for time-lapse photography.
What would you advise?
@Jared Polin Does Z6 have powerful zooming features similar if not the same as P1000? Which mm lens should I get for a higher resolution zooming? I have P900 at the moment and was thinking to upgrade it to DSLR but since am not a professional photographer, although interested in the photography, I have finally decided & locked the Z6 for a better higher upgrade.
Thanks for the awesome. Review I currently do music and need better photos and videos of me so I will buy a camera. I have zero experience with cameras other than a phones default settings what would you recommend I do to get better with limited time if I buy there Z6
hi
I would like to ask you a question, I want to buy a used camera canon 5D mark ii should I take into account whether it has seen heavy video use or not? Or it does not matter at all?
for example
Let's say that I find a Canon 5D mark ii with 2.000 clicks and 1000000 hours of video use, and a Canon 5D mark ii with 60.000 clicks and no video use at all. Both have the same price. Which one should I take?
thank you for all your video you are amazing
I still shoot with my d800 and I still love it!
i love your videos you seem to give the true reasons for buying a Z6 now, iam a nikon shooter for 30years and i have lots and lots of nikon glass so it is better i stick on with nikon and go mirrorless.
I personaly prefer DSLRs because i love to see how the reality looks like and this is what i want to get as a picture on a LCD you ser how you picture will look like but not how the real world looks like. But its everyones own preference
Im looking to jump into mirrorless and get back into the hobby of photo/video and streaming. My last camera was a D40. Hows the clean HDMI output/streaming capacity of the Z6? Can you wi-fi the live view from the screen to your cellphone app? And can you control the size of the output signal? The reason I ask is because my computer can only process so much video at a time....I have to lower my gopro from 1080 to 780 for it to work without lag when streaming.
The video specs for the z6 and z7 swap when you return to the specs graphic. Which is correct?
Thank you, I'm currently in the cross road to select amongst all these 4 cameras (Z6, Z7, D850, D5). I have D750, D500 + 12 Nikkor D & G lenses. It would make sense to go for Z6.
Does the Z6 have an AA filter? You only mentioned no AA on the 7. Are the 6 and 7 different in this area?
Your video got me thinking about a z6, but is there any word if there will be a second card slot? I like the idea very much of the second slot...
thanks allot I love how you explain it easy so someone that don't even know about cameras can understand. and your line out of the videos or easy to understand as well. also your a fun guy through out the video. thanks allot
Thanks great video, you're really cool! I was wondering g which way to go. I am n to a professional, I'm attending a video production school and You helped me decide to go with a Z6. I think ,I'll be able to go a longer way before stepping up more.
I stay with my Nikon D7500, it is a great camera and the photos are excellent. The only problem with the D7500 is normaly behind the camera.
Greetings from germany
Great video, it has helped me decide what direction to go to. Thank you.
I have a d610 and I was wondering if I would be better off with a Z6 or z7 or go to an 850 I like to shoot landscape and macro photography. I would really appreciate any professional advice I like to blow my pictures up to poster size and also have sharpness from corner to corner or as close to Corner to Corner as possible
Can you make a same video just for the canon cameras plz?
I love your videoooss!!! You've helped me grow so much!!!
@@blazeking1211 idk bout 15secs. (The message isn't related to this video)
Great video Jared and Stephen! I use the D750 and the Z6 but finding myself grabing the Z6 almost all the time now. So for me it’s for sure the Z6.
Same here been reaching the Z6 more when I work.
I ll go for NIKON D850... Thank you very much for proper guidance. 😀 HELPFULL VIDEO.
What about if you focused more on landscape, cityscape, and found yourself in darker situations, and maybe & slowly progress into portraits. Is the d810 up for competition when it comes to dynamic range, or is it old and not to consider? im coming from a d5500 and I know I want to head into FX, but at what to choose hmmm. Maybe its worth to wait and see how the replacement (if they do) for the D750 will go.
