Finally, the top-notch color grading has arrived by the end of the wideo
here is your perfect camera: Blackmagic 17K Large-Format Cinema Camera.
These are the camera tests we really want to see, a man in a wig in 4k slow mo tells me everything I want to know about a camera.
It was is HD 240 fps not 4K
This was the most "Old man yells at clouds" video I saw today, including a video of the Northrups.
It's what happens when you buy $9,200 worth of camera gear without researching it first.
@audioupgrades I think he is being sarcastic. It's his style, different to other youtubers. You don't think he researched before spending $9k?
@@mlai2546 No, the camera and lens don't do the things he was hoping. He just had one idea, that a prime would be better than a zoom and dropped $9,200 on that idea. The result is genuine buyer's remorse.
@@Ausknutz no you lol
You can improve the grip feel by enlarging and strengthening your hands with the monkey power workout. Let me find you a link... 😂
lmao
😂😂😂I love ❤️ it!!
All the good japanese designers are now retired and it shows.
Nah they went to China to sell their skills for fifteen times the money.
they're all at Canon
That's why people make unboxing vids...so they can box up correctly when selling later 😊😊😂😂
That's certainly why I watch them lol.
One of the reasons i keep my fx3. The packing is very complicated.
Bro is in Love with Nikon but cant admit cause his channel would have no purpose anymore :)
This is the only non-Sony camera I'm interested in. Please destroy my dreams!
he can destroy... YOUR MUM
For THAT price, the Sony A7sIII makes a lot more sense now.
I think I'd still take a z7ii over it but I'm a dumb photographer. I still swear by the a7Riii
Wow, surprised to see you here…. Maybe you can tell me, is he really a flat earther and believes Wi-Fi is bad for you and all that rubbish or does he just say it for fun?
@@Scotian280 chut up
This is the best review of the Z6 III I've seen. The Nikon UX department should hire you as a consultant (for real).
Oddly came across a review of this camera yesterday and thought straight away, I wonder what your thoughts would be, and today, voilà 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳🥳 looking forward to seeing more on this soon 🥳🥳🥳
Just because he is not used to Nikons does not mean they are bad lol. I used Nikons all my life and Sony feels cheap and bad to use, but that is just because i used Nikon and Canon much more
These next 15 vids milking the content out of the Nikon are going to be awesome and I am here for it
As much as I don’t want to admit it the 6k is noticeably better and I now hate my own camera
Christopher Frost’s review is pretty fair. I don’t think he’s particularly for/against Nikon. 100% agree with the mode dial gripe. I prefer the Z5 with the non-locking dial on the right side. I can do everything with one hand holding the camera, and I have never accidentally flipped the mode dial without a lock. Very handy for switching between stills and video as I prefer manual mode for video, aperture priority for stills.
"I'm a slim fingered bitch" 😂😂
When I had a Z50 and Z7II, it was harder to go back to the Z7II after having all of the controls, including playback (like EVERY other camera on the planet, including most point and shoots) on the bottom right. The Z6III having it on the right instead of the left is annoying, but manageable. Just let us remap whatever button we want to. It is nicer when they match the picture, but they could design buttons or stickers to address that. ;)
I have changed systems and have handled enough through my life. So far this is how I rate ergonomics:
1. Olympus
2. Panasonic
3. Nikon
4. Fuji but they have so many different bodies it's hard to say without listing them.
5. Sony
6. Canon
It's funny how smaller companies always have better controls. As if they compensate for the lack of IQ, sensor size, AF speed etc.
Sony A7RV is quite ergonomic and A9III is really excellent.
@@quintecent8903 I do believe they are now a bit more, but just before these models they were so bad, that I could not use it for a prolonged time. I have small hands, but even with them the grip vs 24-70mm f2.8 was unusable - would get indentations on my fingers.
Anyway, this is subjecting, because might be bad for one and perfect for another
I for one am glad for videos like this. We all get caught up in spec wars and miss the real criticisms of gear which is the practicality aspects, which arguably can be more important to the results and enjoyment factor.
Press to turn dials are satans design. And why doesnt nikon allow dual SD video recording?
Because one SD card of your p Diddy after parties is enough..
@@unbroken1010 tell this to your couple on weddings when one of the cards goes corrupt. Fuji , Sony , Panasonic (maybe even canon) has this feature. Only Nikon refuses to give this to us. Even the z9 and z8 don't allow redundant recording.
I bet they have some kind of a relationship with atomos and are selling us on the ninja V
@@IliasKoureasare you sure? I thought almost no camera had redundant video recording. Photo yes, video no. What exact models are you talking about from Sony (not the video line up, FX models).
@@lekkerpruven887 most Sony cameras can from the past 4 years like the r4 , r5 (which are photo centric cameras) fx3 , a7iv etc. Fuji cameras can after the xt4 maybe even before that. Same with Panasonic with their GH cameras and the s5iix and s5ii.
So yeah. Nikon is basically putting their videographers work in risk.
Its so you don’t accidently turn the dials, you don’t like it but its there for a reason
Can't wait for next part :D
You are my favorite new UA-cam channel. You crack me up! I need you to do a video on how you are able to make so many videos. You are relentless!
What about that blonde supermodel at the end? Daaaamn!
The Nose detect AF is killing me!😂🤘
Hey Kasey, got a little tip for you for the best looking 240p footage. You need to turn Noise Reduction Off, All 3 Sharpness settings to 0.00 in Standard Profile. Hope you try and find it helpful.
Oh man, I'm so scared for you. This is some Breaking Bad levels of cliffhanger camera content. So keen for the next video.
You’ve just proven the point of the unboxing video. You can watch it so you know how to box ‘em up again…
9:36 me and my S5 ain't on that a good terms ,but this does make me appreciate my panniboi once in a while.
Your S5 has better lowlight performance than the Z6iii, because they have the new partial stacking, whatever that is, it makes it worse than the Z6ii in dr / lowlight. imo the S5 is the king of lowlight photography. I know they say the Z6iii autofocuses better in lowlight than the Z6ii, but the reason is that it has bigger focus pixels (I bet). This also happened with the Z6ii over the Z6. The Z6 has very conservative sized focus pixels. I mean the phase detect part of the focus pixels. Those are basically inferior pixel in your camera. No free lunch, the switch to mirrorless has its advantages, but disadvantages too.
S5 can hold it's own, especially at P Diddy after parties
What do you think of the buttons on the front of the camera by the lens mount? I can’t think of a worse place to put them. I hate that.
you should do more unboxing, this was so interesting since you actually touch the camera and talk about the grip and feeling
Why? Don’t you like the sniff and wind tunnel tests that the Fro does? Eh heh heh
@@BernardSolomon That's nonsense, always cringed when he does that.
Are you going to try the 500mm on it? Curious about the stabilization
A man that can rank digital camera grips from memory...
"I will never get it packed again" - Dude, you literally have recorded the unpacking... Should be no problem to rebuid the package😂
I dont hate the honesty added in with " ahh I should've researched " etc...
he does it too!
This camera is very consistent with users talking about it instead of sharing photos from it. And sharing the images of the box lol
Great job on the video Kasey! Thanks for making it.
How does the grip rate compared to the best camera grip on the market... the GH6?
Most people running companies don't have the slightest clue what they're doing. They just run a basic formula to average things out in the end, but on any given sale they might actually be losing money. We've had sales where our shipping cost alone was more than the customer paid for their entire order, let alone the cost of the product itself, packaging, our time, advertising budget, 3rd party commissions and fees, etc. etc.
I worked for a guy that used to say “We lose money with every sale, but we make up for it with volume.”
@@terrygoyan3022I need his contacts, got a business proposition for him.
I was really hoping that in Z6III they would have abandoned the stupid Button-Dial design but apparently they think that we can't control our fingers and would change the settings all the time by accident...Bummer. 😢
You eventually get used to it (comming from a Z6) but I would prefer not to have it again, if, that is, I deside to change to MarkIII
You can't control your fingers. We know this from your video at the P Diddy after parties..
"who's paying for that?!" @ 9:30
😂😂
Nose detect AF. It starts with 'N', like Nikon. Ken Rockwell's site has an excellent review of this camera.
standing up, holding the camera, quiet for a few seconds.. “it’s not great”
hahaha cc never disappoints
With Sony, he’s Lizard-Man.
With Nikon, he’s a cherry tomato.
With Canon colors, he’s golden, so to speak.
Thank you for sharing the moment
Move eyelet out of the way for card slot door and card will fit easy. Epic fail from your part.
He did eventually but failed to mention his mistake.
Good buy. Looking forward to the wildlife footage!
Look forward to see what else you capture with the Nikon Z6iii.
Life is suffering.
Fun, flaw-filled episode... Have a rockin' day!
Congrats on the setup, I have the Z6III and 180-600mm and it’s great, but I’ll take your PF if it’s going cheap 😅.
ofcourse he would try to use a discount code on an already discounted open box. do they watch the channel? what were Camera Canada thinking?
Haha. Best part of the video.
Can't you adapt that prime to your Sony?
The 600 will rock your world you will literally see your jaw drop old Nikon has been doing those longer than anyone and they know how to effing do it damn it's pricey hey serious bit of kit. I'm officially jealous but I don't do wildlife shooting so I don't need such things you still have to get a Zeiss 35 mm f2 for the god experience
Great unboxing video. I'm looking for some 240fps footage in the future and obviously some Nikon boardroom meetings :) The stabilization should work quite good with long lenses. Have fun with your new camera.
Why didn’t you rent?
Shoutout to the g9 grip! Amazing ergonomics!
I also hate Locks on Dials. I have never had a dial move in storage they are too rigid to move with even 1 hand.
Truly underrated as a reviewer. The press to dial button and idiotic always at the bottom - oh I passed the setting - scroll up two steps - menu, is nothing anyone have mentioned... I could be wrong. But it's the little things you have to live with and that is super important to save our angel-like fingers and not get arthritis from all that hard work when we grow older!
But serious - underrated! Looking forward to the next 10 videos! :)
nice red nose Nikon...Rudolf is here early for Christmas
5:47 was waiting for that realisation 😅
Yes! When I heard the "OMG" in sheer disbelief, I instantly knew what was coming 😂
I so understand his pain. What a dumb thing these camera companies do! The toggle switch is the best way to deal with this.
It looks like no shooting menu banks in it? 😮
No banks.
I am constantly bumping open the card door on my z6ii. Such a flaw. The files are pretty great out of it though. My 13 yr old still kills it for photo files though.
The dark background is killing it
Thank you. I love it! :)
Looking fwd to the upcoming videos on this camera and lens. I'm not even a Nikon user and I'm thoroughly enjoying the review already. I actually LOVE how you point out the small gripes that can only be discovered by actually USING the camera. The card slot door issue... I totally understand and would feel your pain. That's the kind of stuff other reviewers NEVER point out! Well done. Well done indeed.
More like his own weird quirks I can do nothing but praise every dial lock ever since I have had a camera without one. Always the worst when you think you're in manual or a User mode and the dial shifted in your bag to something like program and you're trying to figure out what is up with your settings while you're used to a preset.
Kasey, I thought you would have shown the box more and read all the writing on the side. followed by your thoughts and feeling about the construction of the box. As you opened the box, you needed to flip through the paper materials and read them extensively. It makes tensions as we anticipate the camera, Then you pause before taking the camera out and tell a story about the future excitement said camera will bring. Hopefully, we get a more complete opening box video, but very good video, thanks for sharing your absolutely positive experience!
If you use the lens with the lens foot upwards, remember to turn off manual focus in autofocus mode, that would be "a15" setting in the focus settings menu.
And also pull the strap buckles up while inserting the cards.
Hmm, think it's finally time to move on from my D5, to a Z6ii. Think I'll skip Z6iii - my big Nikons are supposed to take over from my OM-1 when the light gets very very low, but the mkiii doesn't seem to offer enough advantage there from what PtP showed.
If you're using spot focus/dynamic area on the Z6ii, it's equivalent to the D5/D850. However, all the other modes, people/animal... man it's really hit or miss. I've had the Z6ii for like 2 years. I still prefer using my D850. When I use my Z6ii with the automated autofocus modes I feel like I have to take way more photos just to get the same amount of keepers. (Especially if you're more than 15 feet away from your subjects) I do get lots of photos. Stick with the D5 for now, if you really want the Z6 line just wait like 6 months when the price drops like $500 and get the iii. When I know I have to get the shot right the first time the Z6ii is staying home, the D850 or my D3s is coming with me. They both rarely miss.
@@bailey.nt86 thanks for the advice. I am a spot and joystick autofocusser - would be nice to have decent face tracking though, but if the spot C-AF matches D5 then I'll be ok - plus more AF points, IBIS and silent shutter bonuses. I've got to rule out the Z6iii because of the DR and ISO problems Photons to Photos found - I need that low light performance from my FF camera. Z8 would be ideal but it's files are big and it's a bit pricey .
(speaking to the crowd) There's nothing worse that people defending and getting all mad regarding a brand ... like holy cow most of you all act like kpop stans. Learn to enjoy life and have fun, CC it's about banter and fun and the occasional insightful critic/comment, much better content that 98% of what you can find in YT.
The Z30 has fixed, large lugs with an oblong opening, while the rest of the Z series is like your Z6III. I assume you can remove the jangly piece leaving a small lug with a circular hole which would be more suitable for a system like the Peak Design straps, so it shouldn't really be a complaint, except maybe they could have put the jangly pieces in a plastic bag so that you don't have to be burdened with the task of detaching them from the camera.
"my knuckles are dragging." Yeah they are.
really loving your new dimmed lights set up.
Sketch out the perfect camera , ergonomic wise?
X-T2 is pretty good for me so far 🤤
Olympus EM1m2 is a pleasure to hold.
Every Fujifilm and Sony I’ve ever held are awful.
Canon R5
You’re going to love it!
It looks very premium honestly
Are you getting rid of zf?
It's already gone.
I was ready to get it😅, my first camera it was between zf and xt5
guess those menu jump from 1 to next rather than page hop; why can't you use touch screen to skip past pages?
Well, I reckon it’s NOT the perfect camera Kasey! Thanks for the review. Next!!
Best unboxing ever 😅
Clearly the lens foot needs a wooden handle.
Those clickety-clackety rings for the straps are abysmal. Can't believe camera manufacturers still use those. And yeah, that SD card door is going to be breaking at some point.
Great vid. Though I somehow can't see the 6K improvement on my horribly compressed youtube video😪
Unboxings are one of the stupidest vid online, but you made it entertaining at least. Thanks
I clearly saw the difference on my 4K display, and it did improved the IQ.
@@derbi123How? The video is uploaded in 1080p
Its not that big of a leap vs 1080 to 4k.
Yes. Nikon's best ergonomics body feel in hand was actually was with D7500. (yeah I know the drawbacks of the specs).
Zf indicates poor quality / compromised dials, button, and much more.
If I waited from FEB 2024 to trade in gear toward that ZF, I might have bought this Z6iii, and be satisfied anyway. In deep with F mount gear and lenses to adapt. Most of all for "N", It is well past time to make a smarter menu system.
That aftermarket battery block makes it a no for me dog.
I am looking forward to Sony having a better format than s-log 3. Honestly, I LOVE S-Log 3 for certain scenarios, like shooting in broad day light. I often shoots groups of people under the shade of trees with the background fully lit by the sun and it really saves the shots from looking like utter crap.
That said, in hectic shoots I sometimes forget to turn off s-log for situations where it's really destructive. In any low-contrast scenario it ruins the auto-focus and in high ISO situations it introduces a LOT of noise.
So, I vote for RAW or some other Sony format that can't be called RAW for legal reasons but is better than S-Log 3 for the next A7V and A7sIV.
I know that some people like it, but I find the small LCD screen useless. I had it on the Sony A99 and A99ii and used it maybe two times. That information is already available elsewhere anyhow and I look through the EVF most of the time anyhow. It seems to me like something left from a bygone era of film shooting. Can't see it if your camera is high on a tripod, can't see it if you're handholding a camera. Seriously!
The main downside of having that screen is that it forces the manufacturers to place some of the dials and/or buttons on the left side, which I agree is just the worst. The left side should have no buttons or perhaps a custom button or two for functions that are important but aren't used frequently. Even so, I'd rather just use a quick menu.
Custom Controls Kasey, start there and if you have trouble search it for other nature shooters/video shooters suggestion. Back button focus is also highly recommended. I would gladly walk you through it but sold my Z6 over a year ago, so it's a blur of half memories.
There is no custom control that will change from 6k 60p to 4k 120p and HD 240p instantly like the mode dial does.
@@cameraconspiraciesYou can map it to your I-menu. On the Z50 and Z6 it is one press, and 4K24p and 1080 120p are next to each other so it's just 1)Press I-Menu and 2) either use the back dial or d-pad to get to the each mode. I think the back dial is what you're used to right? As for more wild life settings, though they do cater to photographers more, check out Hudson Henry, and Steve Perry as they have some of the most extensive Nikon custom settings walk throughs with many real world hacks that help allot when shooting birds. If the mentioned I-menu method doesn't work let me know. I have a fellow wild life shooter friend who is much more Nikon Savy that I can ask.
@@cameraconspiracies my reply vanished.. but this is more simplified. You can either go to Controls or Movie and then Customize I-menu. Map "QUAL" to one of the boxes. Then you simply press the i-menu button (it remembers last position) and scroll with the rear dial or d-pad to get to the frame rate/quality you want. Since I am working with a Z50 it's just 4K24 and HD120 right next to eachother, so I imagine you have to scroll a few more, but it's pretty fast using the rear dial. I almost seem to remember a way to limit available video modes, but don't quote me on that. I highly recommend Hudson Henry and Steve Perry for wild life customization hacks. They are both very experienced, and though their focus is photography, allot of it will apply to what you're doing. BTW, I appreciated your reaction when you finally got the lens out of it's box. Nikon lenses are a bit special.
@@filmstudiojapan Thank you, but that's not going to work for 2 reasons. It's 10 framerates between 6k 60p and 4k 120p. And HD 240p requires that you exit out of N-Raw as well. I don't think there's any getting around this terrible left mode dial lol.
@@cameraconspiracies Let me reach out to some friends and see if I can find a work around for you.
Dang 600mm prime? You must be some kinda balla now!!
Great video Slim Fingers. 👍
Kasey, after all these years I must admit, I am a left hand swinger 🙈🤗
I just realized left handers have to hold their camera with their weak hand, how do these people go through life, must be rough
Don't ask them about scissors
I chuckled through this. I’m a total sceptic about expensive new high tech cameras. Let them bed in with the rich beta testers for a few years, & then buy them used (if they turn out to be okay.) What was the last brand new camera I bought? Nikon FE - sometime back in the 1980’s LOL.
Congrats bro.
“Who cares about nice things? Not Nikon.” 😂😂
Can you get another tripod collar?
Amazing that the real photographers, unbox, load the batteries, insert the cards with out getting an orgasmic feeling about the card door or card slot, get out and shoot pictures and show their pictures, the reason they bough the gear, no, today 99% of UA-camrs make their money from unboxing equipment, talk crap, give opinions and direct traffic to their affiliated links, show no results and rather wear a hear piece. The new world of camera industry, not photography, in the world of art we discuss art, not the paintbrush.
Someone is a krabby patty today.
You looked so uncomfortable trying to handle that beast. I now know why I have an OM-1 and use micro loser.
Olympus 300mm f4 is heavier lol.
Congrats on the 600PF. I hope your computer can handle the 6k.

@@ItsWillLee he said, “ I already hate it, I want to try it, but I hate it.”
Banks are specific to Z8/Z9. No other camera has them.
Why not use Sony's see in the dark AF in your dark room like you do with the ZF? I notice you manual focusing there... 🙄
Because he is using a manual focus only Voigtländer lens, although nobody is noticing the 3D pop.
For some good minutes of the video, I was worried that Nikon directly have sent this camera for you to review it. But then I understood that you bought it with your own money, so sighed in relief.
I'm shook that the Z6 doesn't come with a charger anymore. I got one with all of my Nikon cameras and i think it's absolutely necessary if you have to charge more then one battery...stupid idea Nikon!
I always put a long arca swiss plate on all of my lenses. Then they are easy to carry an you can attach some stuff on top of it. 🙂
