Thinking about it I haven't used it during the summer months yet, I got it in October, so will definitely have to take that into account soon. I do love a viewfinder in the sunshine
@@My_Photography_Journey I think the Z5 / Z30 are a great combo. Just that the Z30 back-screen gets wiped out outdoors with the South Florida sun. I think Nikon knocked it out of the park with their Z line. That lens lineup (specially their primes) are high quality plus. They are NOT cheap, but excellent quality.
PASM is universal. P for Program where the camera sets both lens aperture and shutter speed, A for aperture priority where you set aperture and camera sets a shutter speed, S for shutter priority where you set the shutter speed and camera sets the aperture and M where you have to set both shutter speed and aperture and make adjustments to one or the other in order to get the correct exposure.
This is interesting, im a Z5 shooter and like landscape, did you consider the 24-120? Probably like many im a little torn between the 2 and its a lot of money to put into either one, I want to think 120 will be enough and I'd appreciate the f4 for lower light situations and shallower depth of field throughout the range, but also wonder if I would find myself wishing I had the extra reach if I went for the 24-120 and telling myself if I use DX mode it would get me close at 180, but then of course you also have the DX mode option on the 24-200 also, cheers
That is a very good question! For me it was that extra reach that I wanted, I take a lot of my pictures at F8 or F9 so I wasn't as swayed by the F4 as the 200mm. I also kept an eye out for second hand prices (on mpb.com) for the lens too.
I have the 24-120mm f4 and it's a great lens to use. It has the versatility and a constant aperture. It really depends on the type of shooting you do. I like to use this when I only need to carry one lens and it's very good for recording video.
Oh sorry! I tend to compare the 2 as that's what I have most experience on. Here is one that's far more Z5 focused: ua-cam.com/video/AS_NMVc_xZo/v-deo.html
I have a couple of dogs and a couple of cats, these have been ok with this combination. However I prefer my Z30 with a faster lens too. I've not tried the Z6ii so can't really comment on that one
I own both cameras.
Using the Z30 (outdoors) in the sun light is a MAJOR challenge.
Thanks for posting your video.

Thanks for the info!
On most cameras, the P setting stands for program. But to be totally honest, I don’t know what it stands for on the Nikon
Yes!! That's it, thank you!! I think that's for choosing your own ISO but the camera does the rest? Never used it myself (if you couldn't guess!)

I looked this up to review the Z5 but too much of the video refers to the Z30.........?

Hi Steven,
What do you think about this combination to be used for pets photography ?
Would it work good, or i need to get Z6II ?
