I am a wildlife photographer/videographer and i use a sony a7iii with 200-600 g lens and im really enjoying the quality for my money. but if i had enough money and a professional carreer id switch to nikon right away. Not only great cameras but them being the first with a lens lineup with build in teleconverters is crazy! these lenses are way out of my budget right now tho :D
@@EzyUA-cam that’s really interesting! I had no idea about the teleconverters! See I do video primarily and what Nikon is doing in our space is pretty wild! Overall great for us consumers!
Great video! Nikon just demoed the new 28-135mm power zoom, and 180 degree shutter on Z9 at Inter BEE 2024 trade show in Japan last week with development firmware 5.10. I own 5 Sony cameras, but I will be selling all of them and going all in on Nikon. The cameras are not perfect, but offer a lot more than Sony for the price and Nikon is the future of film production. Sony did great for a while, but Nikon's internal RAW is fantastic. Also, you can buy a Z9 and a Z6III and you are covered for all your video and photo needs up to 45MP. With Sony I am forced to have at least 4 cameras. I have FX6 as main camera, then FX3 for 2nd video camera, but the megapixel is too low, so I also have an A7IV and back up A7III for stills. The A7IV shoots cropped 4k 60p and has horrible moire and overheats so it is not suitable for professional video work. The Z9 and Z6III do not overheat even filming RAW. I don't recommend the Z8 for people. I use to own it and it would overheat even filming H265 and would shut down. The Z9 and Z6III are a perfect combination. I'm sure that with 180 degree shutter coming soon to Nikon, they will also have ability for loading user LUTS. And whatever future RED/Nikon Z higher-end camera comes out will destroy all the competition with internal RAW and great autofocus.
@@willvazquez3218 hey thanks for the awesome comment! I do primarily video work and was definitely interested in the fx3 at one point but because I also do photography on occasion I wanted to stick with something that had at least 20mp. How do you compare the video quality of the z9 to the fx3? Would you say they are on par?
@@adnan_velic I think that the Z9 has prettier and cleaner colors than the FX3. Only thing with Z9 is that if you shoot N-LOG, it doesn't output a LUT over HDMI, so if you have a monitor connected, it needs to have the ability to apply LUTs. I own the Z6III and absolutely am in love with it. I film TV commercials and corporate videos, so I use lighting and the slightly lower dynamic range is not a problem. For most people, I think the Z6III is better than FX3 and has 24MP for stills.
there seems to be a Z9 firmware coming with shutter angle. Don't think there is any flagship camera that has been completely transformed since release. Yes the A1 was great at launch, but the Z9 is a completely new camera since 2021.
@ I agree. Nikon is putting in the work and it’s paying off. After just having garbage tier service from Fujifilm (both their firmware releases and my personal actual warranty “repair” issues with them) I’m selling my Fuji gear. And loooking real hard a Nikon right now.
I am hoping for a videocentric camera from Fuji with a native s35 sensor in 8k. Also Blackmagic finally has to implement AF in order to compete in the hybrid market, that excuse of being a "cinema" camera no longer cuts. Btw, do you find that the X-H2s has much better dr than the X-H2?
@@nordfresse a box style xh2s in my opinion is all I ever need and wanted! Yes the xh2s has 1 stop more of dynamic range for sure! It’s not a huge difference but it’s there.
Unfortunately, Blackmagic will never have usable autofocus unless it makes a deal with Panasonic to use their AF technology. Modern predictable autofocus is too sophisticated for a small company like Blackmagic to ever design or even master on its own. I love their cameras though. Don't own any at the time but the Ursa 4.6K and the Pocket 6K paid the bills for many years. I have four Sony cameras, and even though they have been workhorses, I have the video-looking images. I'm going all in on Nikon.

All Nikon has to do is offer REDCODE RAW in Z9 II or Z8 II and they will have disrupted 15+ years of industry trends.
@@jessejayphotography that would be awesome! I think they could definitely do that! I heard nothing but great things about REDCODE RAW.

@@AbhinavYadav-zm7ut I do like that about Nikon! One of the few manufacturers still supporting their gear after sale. HEAVILY supporting that is.
