Interesting video. I should start poking around with video I have a Z8 that is really overkill for photography and sits around a lot. This was an interesting video i didnt know it had dual ISO at 800 thanks for sharing your perspective. I look forward to your opinion of the 35mm 1.4.
The Nikon footage looks so much better than sony's. Nikon got depth and character. Sony's footage just look straight out flat. Keep up the good work brother
One thing tho: afaik the z8 only shoots oversampled 4k60 in h265 10bit NLog, but to my knowledge the 4k60 NRAW is lineskipped i a way… i cant confirm it 100% as the 4.1k60 NRAW looks absolutely pristine, so its hard to tell. When i shot both on the same day with the family out i did. However an increased clarity in the h265 clips when i watched it on a big monitor…its absolutely minor, but might be important in lower light…
Am having throuble to understand if the Z8 is just missing autofocus because it looks like 8 of 10 shots are not in focus. Is that the Z8 or your style? Like its an amazing boke but its just not sharp. Can you explain?
@@Storiofmelyfe can you elaborate on the shots your talking about with time stamps. Of course the beginning shot is on the fireworks and meant to be on the fireworks.
Love the video, could you share how you expose your Nlog on the Z8? Esp since it doesn't have a light meter and the only way to gauge exposure is through histogram
Might be a weird answer but I don’t use the histogram, never did. Just taught my eye on how to properly expose for shadows. Hope that answers your question.
Hi Peter. Great video👏🏾. Im almost in the same boat. But i kept my sony a7s3. I have the z9 and i love it. Yes its big but the quality is impressive. My question is. Are you sure the 4.1 60p raw is oversampled? Ive been using 4k h265 60p oversampled. Yes raw are bigger files but if its oversampled too then im switching to raw.
z8 has better dynamic range and autofocus speed. z6iii may be slightly better in low light focusing but image quality wise z8 will produce more professional results.
It’s hard to listen to what you’re saying. The fx3’s dual native iso starts at 12,800 and cleans right up. Also saying you have seen zero grain on the z8? Thats just a ludicrous statement. I wanted to take on board what you were saying but these broad out of the box hyperbole statements just were just a bit much.
@@PeterDiBussolo I understand what you’re saying but once you add a variable ND filter, ISO800 and 12,800 are cleaner than most/all of them and means you don’t need another iso other than them 2.
Question: im probally going for a nikon z8 but the only thing holding me back with the Z8 is no dual recording function --> im afraid of card failure while filming a wedding or event :s Do you think this is a problem? How do you fix the dual recording issues? (A ninja ontop for backup is a solution but a heavy one)
@@PeterDiBussolo i know but im not talking about switching cards or using cards. Im talking about backups and dual recording functions (recording @ the same time)
@@PeterDiBussolo The overall look of the Fx3 has never been called digital. Also the footage that you show looks better on the FX3 compared to the Z8. You also needed to move the dynamic range stops on the FX3 up pr down depending on what you are shooting.

@@MB-dq2gz no such thing as overkill hahah! The z8 is underrated in my opinion!
Just made a video on the 35 1.4

Keep up the good work brother
it produces better greens than canon too :)
Hey, can you do a review of the 35 f1.4 especially for autofocus..? Really looking forward to it.
I posted a video on my ig using the 35 1.4. Check it out @bypeterdibussolo

Beautiful work. I'm done subscribe

You have a waveform too.
I barely use them
What memory cards do you use with your Z8 wedding workflow?
1tb prograde

The 4.1k 24p is down sampled not 4K 60p. (From what I read)
Less grain as well in raw.
Alright Thank you 😊 Gonna try it on my next videoshoot.
I’m struggling to choose between the z6iii and z8 for filmmaking.Someone help me choose I mostly do nightclubs and concerts
Find a video where they explain the lowlight on the z6iii and the dynamic range. Might be hard cuz that camera just came out
z8 has better dynamic range and autofocus speed. z6iii may be slightly better in low light focusing but image quality wise z8 will produce more professional results.

Long story short. There’s more usable iso’s on the z8 than the fx3.

there is no dual recording but you can switch from cf to sd in the quick menu.
@@PeterDiBussolo so you can make backups fast from cf too sd? The reason i want to dual record is for backups.
Because im afraid of cf or sd failure
If you have both cards in the slots you can change what recording you want onto what card.

time to get the 1.2s!
@@jakilahmoulien9070 if they only made one for Nikon
@@jakilahmoulien9070 but it’s such a creamy lens on the fx3. It was my to go to lens for years. I shot over 50 weddings just with that lens
@@PeterDiBussolo you mean 35mm right?
@jakilahmoulien9070 yeah
@@PeterDiBussoloI use the sigma f1.2 with megadap etz21 pro. Af is flawless with photo.
You have your script flipped. The FX3 is more organic and the Z8 is a digital look.
False

The overall look of the fx3 is awesome. But I just prefer the z8.
Not false only a Sony Fanboy's opinion matters here. 🙄
@MB-dq2gz I guess so 🫣
