Jared Polin Using That Fro Pack as I type. I love that Kensington with grain 🔥
your videos made an entrepreneur thanks for the support!
Hey brother Jared,
I have been shooting with a Canon t3i and kit lenses for 7 years now. I have no glass of any kind. So I know the Canon workflow. I am ready to upgrade and wanted to ask what should I go with? Maybe mirrorless at this point? I shoot mostly landscapes, concerts, scenery, different outdoor events. I'm looking at the Z7, EOS R, Nikon D850, the Canon 5D Mark IV, and the 6D Mark II for vlogging. What do you suggest? I definitely want to make sure I get something great for my hard earned money. Maybe we can meet up sometime if and when you come to Central Florida. 🤘
boooo, grain booo lol.
I can tell by your video that you want her ass to be slapping on your lap. Go for it brah.
WOW! I am not talking about the camera. I am talking about the efforts you take for a single video. Hats off!
Saurav Sinha you make great content too.
you can say a lot about Jared, his presentation and photography, but to be honest. His real World reviews are by far the easiest and most entertaining to watch. Well produced and very complete to a certain extent. This is top-notch for youtube. Well done!
He's a great presenter and has a fantastic videographer on the team. Killer formula.
@@JjackVideo i fully agree
Completely agree. I sometimes do not enjoy his humour, but this RWR are fantastic. Regarding photography, it is easily one of the best things on CZcams.
100% agree
José A. Ochoa he’s definitely cheesy at times but there’s no denying Fro knows his stuff and knows how to do a thorough review.
Fro, these are your best videos, the real world reviews. because they show really well how the camera, photographer and model work. It's gear, specs, travel, photojournalism and how-to in one.
I need me a Stephen to help me film my videos. He hitting all the angles and killing the B-Roll LOL. Great job fellas and shout out to Maty tho
Those of you that talk crap about "fro is no real photographer" I think you wanna give your heads a wobble, THIS is how to review a camera, and take great shots with it. well done Jared great review, fantastic photos, kudos Stephen.
thanks John.
A lot of people haven’t been around that long, and missed a lot of what he used to do. I have his photography tutorial downloaded on my computer from who knows how long ago.
He got me into photography. Ya bastard.
Yeah, this was was quite informative (unlike all the "EEWWW, only one card" slot reviews). There are a lot of us who were interested in how the camera actually works in different situations, & this was a detailed review.
Jared I was quite pleased by your balanced presentation of the Z7. You covered the good, the bad, and the ugly with accuracy and made it interesting. I appreciate the hands-on view of different styles of photography and video.
Two things:
1. When you mentioned that the image was underexposed because your EVF was a bit bright, I noticed the big, fat live histogram in your EVF, and it was clearly indicating serious underexposure. Had you been paying attention to the histogram, you would not have underexposed, regardless of the brightness setting of the EVF.
2. Since you had banding caused by flickering under the lighting at the venue, why didn’t you have the "Photo Shooting Menu > Flicker Reduction Shooting" function enabled? It may well have cleared up the flicker banding.
In any case, thank you for the hard work you put into this video. Your great advice to listen to people who have actually used the camera for a period of time, instead of those who have never seen it or only held it for a few minutes, is quite excellent. I subscribed to your channel and have a new respect for your work. Thanks!
Your real world reviews are legitimately the best camera reviews on CZcams. Taking a camera through various shooting conditions, TRYING to work with a camera instead of deliberately putting the camera into situations to make it fail, walking us through your issues as they come up - I appreciate all of it. In a blind taste test, I would assume the Z7 and EOS R are complete garbage cameras because of how they're being reviewed by other sources. Focusing on everything a camera does wrong is ignorant. My real world professional use of the EOS R over five jobs this past week have been exceptional.
I may not agree with everything you do, but that's life. You, Stephen, and Todd should be proud of your content...Just try to keep your shirt on more, please. Hahaha
You can get 2 card slots...
If you bought 2 cameras.
Still losing images if one card slot fails.
@@Lon1an not if you take with both at the same time..
@@rdebeer4071 How would you get same image in both cameras?
People took this seriously. Oh my.
The first and second generation of Sony have many many problems with a single slot. Only the third generation is "perfect"
Steven's gotten so much better on his video skills. Good job :)
Man 46 minutes of true camera review I enjoyed it.
Great review Jared, a real world review from a real world photographer, respect.
You should check out Photo-Me-Ike's review.
Real world photographer ??!! Hahahahahahahaha... you definitely never seen a skilled photographer's work, to quality this gear's junkie of being real world photographer.
So I am not a pro photographer. I would call myself a "not so awesome" enthusiast. I have a D500 and have pre-ordered the Z6. This will be my first dip into full frame. Your review makes me feel better about that decision after all the negativity out there. I enjoy your thoughts and you make it entertaining too. Thanks for not just blowing out a "full-review" without actually putting it through the paces.
Will do that too, I'm still hesitate between z7 and z6
Also own a D500 and am looking to get to full frame. Something I haven't seen mentioned but have heard from other photographers I know is that the Nikon EVF is fantastic and about as close/good as you can get to an OVF. I tried the Sony A7R3 in store and hated the viewfinder which really turned me off to mirrorless at the time. I imagine the Z6 will be faster/better focusing - something a D500 owner would appreciate. I've also considered a sidestep to the Fuji XT-3 even though it's crop.
@@timphillips3873 problem of crop is the lens you cannot find the equivalent of FF + it's often more expensive. With Nikon FF you can use sigma art 1.4 for not so expensive
Negativity coming from Sony and fuji people looking at specs, and not using the camera
I own the D500 as well and like you I'm on the fence about purchasing the Z6 or Z7. Did you end up purchasing one? Which did you go with? @@timphillips3873
Interesting in the wrap-up of the video talking about new users starting with Sony (and I am not a Sony user). The camera companies know there are only so many people who will switch systems. The future is with what new photographers will choose right from the start. I was a newspaper staffer during the EOS revolution in the late 1980s. Many Nikon users switched to Canon, but what we noticed in the coming years was the number of new hires, freelancers and interns who all started with Canon EOS right from the beginning.
A theory for your "EVF showing the wrong exposure" issue. I could be wrong and the only way to know this is by seeing the JPEG and I don't have the camera anymore to test my theory out. BUT! Perhaps when looking through the EVF the camera is showing you the constant JPEG preview of the scene including the "D-Lighting", lifting shadows, retaining highlights and whatever other settings it applies to the JPEG to give you a "suitable image". But because you are shooting RAW it negates all of those effects when the image is opened in PS or LR. I only say this because I shot some funky images in some of the scene modes and the camera showed me the image in the scene modes when I shot it via the EVF. It was like I was looking at a finished image while I was shooting. Just a hunch.
I have those settings off. Jpeg preview yes
The Sony's provide a jpeg preview as well in camera, but you can change the EVF to not show applied settings basically making it an digital optical viewfinder somewhat. Not sure if that's what you're talking about in this situation Ike. Hope you're well man and I'll see you in the Oastler streams..
Photo-Me-Ike The EVF has a setting to brighten the monitor when shooting in low light. It can be turned off for seeing the actual exposure.
This applies to sony as well. I have an a7riii and even on my a6000. Images are brighter in EVF and live view screen because it is showing you the camera's "corrected" jpeg preview (not the flatter raw file). The whole histogram thing wouldn't have helped as the entire image in the concert setting was pitch black with her only lit up. That would automatically push the entire histogram to the left.
One advantage of Nikon and Sony cameras is the nearly ISO invariant sensor. There are even shooters who never high ISO, because pushing the photos in post generally yields a cleaner image than exposing "correctly." I do that for most night photos. Though the Z7 can show banding in certain conditions, (mostly a strong light source on the right of the image) it can be easily be pushed four stops with no degradation of quality, so an underexposed NEF file is no big deal.
blog.kasson.com/nikon-z6-7/nikon-z7-banding-constancy/
(JimK of Dpreview forum fame)
BTW, the same source noticed that the histogram reads low than the actual settings in low light. Apparently, the Sony does, too, though at lower light levels still.
Nikon will check all the boxes with their second iteration of mirrorless !
Whenever I want to see a REAL camera review before I buy I got to Jared. He makes me feel like I actually tried the camera out. I love the different scenarios too.
We try hard to actually bring real reviews.
Can't imagine the work you must have put into making this video.
Amazing video, amazing review, amazing content creator 😀
Stephen nailed this video FRO!
Figured I would chime in as to why lighting for opening acts isnt "ramped up" as you put it. OAs tend not to have an LD and rely on the house guy to run their show. They wont know the set well enough to really light the set well and this is further compounded by headlining acts sometimes limiting what they can do. I had one tour where management passed down that the opening act was allowed one look for their entire set with no blackouts; certainly wasn't the best.
As far as LED lighting for concerts, they are trying better. Fixtures found at larger shows now allow us to easily dial in color temperature on the fly. Smaller venues tend to have less expensive fixtures, which dont have this feature yet.
You keep complaining about the low light images through the EVF but the light meter was there clear as day telling you you were 2-3 stops underexposed 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for pointing that out! That is helpful to me, as a noob.
That pin point focus is based on contrast, as far as I know, it should be used for static object only, like macro or similar. BTW, very balanced review, thanks!
Hi Jared,
I feel that majority of current camera reviews only repeat the same popular opinions and PR mumbo jumbo. Watching all of these videos - it sometimes seems like reviewers don't use these cameras enough, just repeat what others said instead of giving their thoughts about the actual usage scenarios. "Time to the viewer" for a video is now really short and nobody seems to do the reviewer job right.
Having said that, you do it differently. You actually use the camera, give what seems to be an unbiased opinion and is, in the end, really helpful.
Gotta say, I never liked your intro (still don't) and have always been hesitant to subscribe, but - subscribed now!
I had not watched Jared's videos for a few years, but the quality or production content and everything has stepped up massively
After watching his reviews of the new mirrorless cameras, my conclusion is - if one is buying their first FF camera, better buy Sony. If one has FF lenses from older cameras, better buy this one (or Canon R, depend on glass owned). OR just use the DSLRs 1 more year or so, before Nikon and Canon come up with the 2nd gen of Z and R. But apparently, neither this one nor the Canon are as bad as some reviews paint them to be. My only gripe with Nikon would be they sell this camera for $1000 more than Canon sell theirs. Why?
Welp, there goes my plans tonight! 2 minutes in, nice work so far! Stoked for the video.
Fantastic Review!! Thanks for the great content!! The youtube world needs great objective reviews from credible people.
This was the review I've been waiting for eagerly. I guess the real question is Z7 or Z6 for someone who does both photo and video. Based on the specs alone, I'd think Z6. Thanks for the solid review!
The Z6 probably will be better for video.
My vote goes to the Z6. The extra megapixels aren't worth the money for me. Also I think the Z6 doesn't bin pixels when shooting FX video, which would be an advantage.
Especially moving up from a D750, and a sweet spot price-wise, too.
@@lustig8312 Yes, no bin pixels on the Z6
The Z6 is the all-rounder, faster, better low light, a bargain, and more videocentric. For images lilkely to be printed large of cropped the Z7 is the D850 of the mirrorless world. I have been on the fence trying to decide on the D850 to add to my D800 kit or head to the Z mount. I borrowed a Z7 with 24-70 and unlike Jared,I was very impressed with that lens. It was actually brighter in the same since at f/4 than my 24-70 2.8 wide open. The most impressive point was zero distortion and the same excellent sharpness in the corners as center wide open. Only a few specialty large format reproduction lenses are able to do that. The Z mount it the reason to pick this over the competition. The construction quality beats the Sony in every way. If the Z6 is built the same, for anyone shooting outdoors or in rough conditions these are the only mirrorless out built at pro quality. For those who shoot burst, not me, the buffer was not large but cleared amazingly fast, about 1 second when I tried just holding the shutter down until it slowed down...in the time it took to lift my finger and press again the buffer was empty again. The AF was considerably better than on my D800 but I never had any problem with any camera with getting focus as long as there was light. But I am not a wildlife or sports shooter. I only had a few missed focus when first trying the camera until I read the manual and for the rest of the week missed none. The AF is much better than I was expecting given the poor reviews by a few CZcamsrs. I have never seen such emotional overreaction to a new camera release. Some of those people will probably feel pretty embarrassed when people realize the reviewers were only seeking clicks and making outrageous statements gets clicks.
Jared you killed it with this video. 12:30 in the video is off the chain!!! Great job man.
Personally although I'll never be able to afford this camera. Still rocking a D5100. I have to say the fact it saves your presets over to Light room is a great feature. At first I thought you meant it baked in the changes directly to the raw but the fact it just moves the sliders for you is wonderful. Non destructive but also makes it so the photo you are seeing in your camera is the photo you end up with. Makes it easier if you like a basic boomify to just do it right from the camera but at the same time it not being destructive.
You guys CRUSHED it again! The best review I've seen of the Z7 and EOS R out there (imho).
I like how Fro is a Nikon shooter and yet still remains objective in his reviews and will even say how other manufacturers excel at somethings 🆚 the camera he’s reviewing. I’m not even a Nikon shooter and I still watch his reviews. Keep up the good work!
I really like the noise structure in the Canon EOS R and the Nikon Z7. Finally many digital cameras are making it usable to shoot at high ISO while keeping the noise and not trying to de-noise it in post production.
Thank Jared for the review. As pointed out by Jared after I made my comment about turning on touch: Touch drag focus point is NOT an option while using EVF.
Touch focus or touch shooting is only available while in the rear LCD - Touch in EVF sounds like a feature Nikon could possibly add as an update.
That doesn’t work for evf. There’s no touch and drag
No BS. Great review.
Someone once told me:"start with a pretty model and your photos is half-way there" Maty is just gorgeous! Good choice! Great review as usual. Thank you!
45:15 “...this is a DSLR KILLER...it’s time for the DSLR to go away....” wow, that’s a bold statement - and I think he’s right.
I've watched all of your RWR's and this was the best hands down!
Amazing job!! Damn the best RWR so far. Looks like its better than canons autofocus in video??
To answer your question. Yes i have downloaded my gear vault.
Great review as always! But seriously.... even better shots! Those portraits of Matty and the sexy-cheese-steak vid are butter!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dude, you have my respect. I mean the effort put in making a complete in-depth review, hats off!
Maybe the EVF Auto Brightness should be on in low light situations. Or, watch the histogram more than the image when adjusting your exposure. I do a lot of live music photography, I appreciate you showing us the Z7 from the pit. I'm glad it works well with the FTZ and 14-24 2.8G, that's my favorite pit lens.
love your video editor making like this one 8:49 - 8:57
Jared, on the Sony A7III you can map out the quick menu for video and for photo separately too.
Great video, Jared! Thanks for all the detail, makes me consider saving just a bit more for the Z7 instead of getting the Z6.
James Edits Things if you do Photos and videos and do not have a second body to pair with the Z6 then def get the z7
First rate review Jared. I had to watch parts of it several times over to get all the good info. This is a far cry from the Northrup’s crap flinging hate-fest reviews for the Z’s. I’m a Philly guy. Love to watch your out and about reviews in the city. Why not a shoot on Elfreth’s Alley? I would ride my bike downtown to see the historic places many times every year. I love them. Bought the Z7 and I’m getting some of the best photos I’ve ever made. So happy I bought it, fits right in with my D500 & D850. Keep up the good work Fro. You’re one of the very best. Top shelf! Maybe some Jersey Shore shoots this Year???
WHAT!!! He pronounced horizontal correctly that's a first.the first time I've ever heard.
suli6969 lol ! Horizontical
We are just at B&H today playing with this camera..
I enjoy your real world reviews. I understand that being silly sells also but I can see why someone would take your advice on choosing a camera. I think your honest demeanor and critique is great. Keep up the good work.
Just downloaded the Raws and processed them the way I liked. I must say the photos look incredible, but I would say more of a testament to your photography skills!
Love the glasses that Maty had on in the vid. I have been following your u tube vids for years. It is so lovely to see a photographer wanting to share all. So many Photographers do not want to let anyone know what lenses they shoot in etc. Well done my Darling. So much heart is always put into your vids. Much love x
Great video as always Jared, it's really nice to see the development you guys have gone through during the years, I've been following you for a while now, your guides made me take the step into manual and I haven't looked back since!
The content, and especially the editing, of your videos are outstanding in my opinion at this point. I'm currently using a D500 with some quality glass, all thanks to your real world review that tipped my decision in that direction, thank you for that, and was looking into the D850 should I decide to go full frame. That decision has now been made tougher and the Z6 is a definite contender (shoot nature and sports mainly so the higher FPS would be great). Too bad about the grip issue though which is a real con in my opinion.
Keep it up!!
She has a lovely smile Fro great RWR ...
There is a reason why the shutter does not come down on Sony etc cameras. The dust what may come in is not attached to the shutter and can damage it more easily than the dust affect the sensor. That can be bad in dusty environments. Dust is easily cleanable from sensor but from shutter it is not because you don't clean the shutter everytime you change lens, now if there is bigger particles it may damage it and it gets stuck or even break. This is info from Sony when i asked why not do it, in 2013 when a7 came out.
A lot of reviews recently are comparing sony A7iii vs EOS R or Zed 7. What seems to apparent is the A7iii has boosted everything on the camera, as the eos R or Zed 7 have better screens, evf's, colour tones, AF speed, video AF are the main areas. However the A7iii is a lot cheaper than eos R and Zed 7 !
The D810 is still the best stills camera on the market., though the Sony A7iii eye detect is just bloody amazing !
Z 7 no such thing as ZED 7
Tyson Wright 'the D810 is the best stills camera on the market' is a pretty big call. I shoot sports and birds on flight on a 5D4 + 100-400mm Lii + 1.4x iii and there isnt a better combo for my style of shooting. Focus mate - if you dont nail focus your shot is toast.
Btw, I attend a lot of motor sports events, and my setup seems to be the standard @ these events atm.
@@nordic5490 D850 is the best one.
mr Sony lover, nope. Canons DPAF is the industry leading video AF and works great on the EOSR, the 6D2, the M50, 80D, 5D4 and more.
Try harder mate.
I disagree about the lenses. I already have a DSLR with big, heavy lenses (Canon). What I'm looking for in a mirrorless is smaller and lighter, in additional to the added AF functionality/coverage. And that's actually why I'm now considering the Z6 instead of the EOS R. Big, wide aperture lenses are great, and Canon's do look wonderful, but that's always true with any camera. And that adapter isn't much help, as it adds weight, too.
Great review of the Z7, thorough, and a lot of hands on real shooting, which is what we need to see. Thanks Jared! Loving your videos like this. I ordered the Z6, really looking forward to it.
Great review, and great take on mirrorless v DSLR. The Z7 is strong enough that I'm not going to upgrade from the D750 to the D850 and will wait until the 2nd or 3rd version of Nikon's mirrorless. I don't do this for a living, so I can wait.
Congratulations with this review Jared.... Nice presentation, covering all practical aspects of the Z7, and giving useful comparisons to other like cameras on offer.. Entertaining too. Technical enough, without being too wordy or nerdy.
Not sure what I enjoyed more the Ultimate Warrior reference or the Ken Rockwell JPG reference.....instant classics
Really helpful review! The most interesting thing is Nikon finally cooperating with Adobe to get the colors right! Finally! The option to turn it off should be there. I think this is a mayor step in fixing the horrible raw workflow that we have today.
The other critical thing for me is eye AF a really big minus point for the z7. I've decided to wait longer for the next mirrorless or maybe upgrade to a D850. If the price was significantly lower than the D850 there would be little reason to skip it.
best camera reviews on youtube. I honestly wait for these to come out everytime a new camera is released
Wait! I just stepped out to get dinner!
I always thought the Z7 was using the same sensor as the D850; I’m guessing a lot of other people got that wrong as well. Makes me rethink it altogether. 🤔
Scott Miller yup all new sensor according to nikon
It's probably a slight modification of the D850 sensor, nothing substantial.
It's weird because the specs are basically identical, just a bit worse than the D850 because of the banding issues. My guess is that they just picked the 850 sensor and modified it to allow PDAF, and that would also explain why there is banding, probably due to read noise differences caused by the different specs needed for AF
It is the same sensor, just that no camera company wants to admit that they are reusing parts.
I don't care about new kit, but I really like looking at your compositions. Pictures are especially alive with such a person of character and expression, like Maty. Thanks for sharing the images and situation issues and not just the camera bits. Alex.,
14:58, if you are looking for 2 (slots), you gonna get look for Fuji X-T3, HEVC, F-Log, 4:2:0/4:2:2 card/external recorder, 10 bit, 4K up to 60 fps, 👁 AF, wide range of superb glass, etc. etc...
Awesome video, Jared. Really appreciate how direct you are.
People keep complaining about the price vs a D850 but IBIS cost a lot more to produce in a body. The only legit drawbacks this camera has vs D850 is card slots and native lens selection/autofocus accordingly. But this camera has things the D850 doesn't have like the IBIS and silent shooting and more of the sensor having focus points.
New Nikon 35mm tho is definitely better than the Sigma 35mm (less CA and WAY less astigmatism which makes it great for astrophoto), plus it's way lighter.
I'd pick it any day over the Sigma or any other Nikon 35mm
BubuSnow93 agreed !
35mm for astro?
I've never noticed the CA in my sigma 35mm f1.4 art
@@TheChindoboi ye I've checked and it's actually not that bad, astigmatism however is definitely way more present than in the new Nikon
@ John Smith yep, 35mm is a great focal lenght for astro. You can do single shot that are more detailed than a wider angle lens, you can do panoramas that will be better than wider angle lenses because a 35mm can capture more light or you can use it with a star tracker.
Yeah, I too wasn't sure about: "the 35 1.8 is great, but maybe not amazing in feel, so get the Sigma". Why? Why would one pass on a great native lens and get a Sigma to use with an adapter?
That was a top notch review and entertaining to watch. You are spot on in your closing comments that it’s time to drop the DSLR for Nikon and go all in on their mirrorless line. Maty was awesome, she seems like such a cool, friendly and talented young lady. You really went out of your way to give her props. Very classy bro 👍🏻
I am liking it more....In some ways it does seem really good. Great review .
This is what I was waiting for. Honest and precise review of almost every aspects of the camera. It has always showed worth for waiting the Jared’s way if reviewing a camera😉
Best review for the Z7 out there.
Regarding battery life, don't forget the Z7 was also powering the Atomos recorder atop the camera, so that's got to be some kind of a drain right there, too.
wrong. the Atomos runs off a Sony battery. 6:48
@@OutlawFarmersRC Yes it has an external battery, but it was also outputting separately, don't know how much impact that would have
Dear Mr Jared Polin since Nikon they really listen to your opinions and complaints can you confirm if it's gonna be any software update for the Z7 that you can actually remove the lense and the shutter come down without exposing the sensor like canon did? Or should we expect a Z7s or something? (The one Xqd card is not an issue at all and it should be for anyone now days)
To be fair, I'd rather be underexposed by a few stops than over. In fact it's ideal because you're retaining more detail in the highlights than if you had selected a higher ISO to correctly expose for the scene.
Thanks for another awesome real world review Jared. By far the most honest reviews out there! Looking forward to the Z6 review.
By far the best review i have seen on the Z7, this actually made me feel good about the possible change from D850 to Z7,.
Now im a lot more confident in getting the camera as it has what i need :)
If given a similar price what would you get out of Z7, D850 and S1R not owning any lenses at this point.
Thanks for providing the raw images. They have been incredibly informative.
Jared, great photos, but you are a very good photographer. I appreciated the balanced review.
I believe the Nikon and the Cannon mirrorless cameras are place holders for Cannon and Nikon.
It will be about a year before either cannon and Nikon release better Mirrorless.
and it will take both companies about 3 to 4 years to release the glass.
Definitely missed the left side AF button when I tried the camera out at a Nikon event. Hopefully they put it back in the next iteration.
Maddy looks huge!! Well done Frono!! Thanks for your review.
Please review the Z6. This is the camera I am interested in.
The best! A camera review and then some... Well, more then just some. 👍
I going to buy a mirrorless camera not sure which one to get, Sony a7 iii, a7r iii, a9(on sale about 3500 on Amazon), Nikon z6, z7 or Canon eos r? Price not a big deal I just want to buy a best out of those, I'm been used Nikon, but I will switch to any other brand if they making better camera, just for daily use, I think most the time will take my kids pictures. Which one will you pick? Thanks
Fro I've been watching your channel for years but these recent videos look so damn good keep it up.
I got the Z7(The beast)
Hi! I'm on the fence about the Z6 and Z7 may I ask why you chose the Z7 over the Z6? Is the price tag/larger MP worth it? How large do you blow up/print your images?
Good food for thought. Thanks Jared.
It'll be interesting to see how to Z6 compares when it comes out later this month.
Fro, battery grip contacts can also be inside the battery compartment, did you check there? Sony has their pins there.
mbickerdike17 nikon traditionally have always had theirs on the bottom of the camera unlike sony & canon
@@stepheneckert4006 correct, I just assume since Mirrorless bodies aren't exactly traditional that they may have or use pins in the battery compartment. If there aren't then there will be no buttons, just power. Thanks!
I don’t feel that the lenses feel cheap, I love how there light, and produce excellent sharp pics.
Really nice Jared, the cinematic effects were awesome, really like your job, thanks for the good job and information
07:09 No, it won't help. People still fall for that. Any dust that is on the shutter blades will land on the sensor once the shutter opens. It does not help at all against dust. Thats why nobody else does that.
I don’t understand the complaint of having the “preset” come into Lightroom with the raw. You’re going to edit the photo anyways, you can use this to dial in a little towards your style and maybe even have to edit less.
so you have 1000 photos, they all come in and have over sharpening, I now have to tweak every photo.
You're always offering such quality content Jared. Great review! Killin it!
Wow i love your real world reviews. And your portraits were great aswell as the modell. Now im looking really forard for my next shoot.
Well I have had a D700 that I have been using for some time now and am about to upgrade. Was looking (and still have not ruled out) a d850 but the new mirrorless tech is very exciting. Choices choices :)
the only thing i miss on the nikon z7 is that its got a rectangular eye piece not the round style. otherwise a few more S line lenses would be nice.
5:29 My absolute favourite shot!!!!!
When the Z7 and the EOS R came out, a lot of people said that both Nikon and Canon screwed up by not putting a second card slot and that that for them was a deal breaker. However, I believe they did it to protect their high end DSLRs such as the D850 and the 5D series. I have been shooting professionally for over 10 years and never have had any problems with corrupted files or corrupted SD cards. If you get quality cards and you format them every time you do a job, you shouldn´t have any problems. But of course, things could fail and you might get a corrupted card. What I do is use 4GB cards so as to minimize the amount of pictures lost in the event of corruption, I use a second shooter (which I always do and not because of that) - in weddings and once-in-a-lifetime events, and I have my clients sign a contract stating that the company can not be held responsible for malfunctioning of equipment. Nobody has ever refused to sign it. So, my point is, it is definitely better to have 2 card slots than one. However, it should not be a deal breaker.
